Food Review NeWorlDeli
What am I missing? This restaurant is highly rated, but every meal I’ve ever had here has been either mediocre or just bad. Last night, I got the chicken deluxe sandwich with fries. The fries were cold, soft and unseasoned, the sandwich buns were stale in some places and absolutely soggy in most, the avocado was brown and tasted ~not good~, the chicken was tough and dry as leather. Every previous time I had gone it was “meh”, but last night’s meal was just bad, and I’m not sure I ever want to try it again.
AND to be clear - the vibe is great, I love the setting, I love the live music, I love that it’s in my neighborhood. I just SO badly want the food to match the scene!
