West End Cafe

I love to eat here when I am in the mood for a great salad. I haven't tried any of the sandwiches, but they look good. The service is good and the prices are good as well.

After reading others' good reviews we were highly anticipating eating here and are very disappointed. We won't be back.

Food: My husband and I agreed that the flavors of the food are not in balance. For example, my Reuben ($8.25) had a small amount of meat with loads of cheese and sauerkraut. There was not enough meat for the other ingredients, or for the money. The corned beef was very dry and a little crunchy. (Jason's Deli has much better quality and quantity for less cost). My husband's What-A-Dog ($5.75) consisted of a regular sized wiener on a huge hoagie bun with enough toppings for 4 or 5 regular hot dogs. He kept eating bread and slaw, onions, relish, and other stuff until he finally got to the itty bitty weeny. The fries were dark brown and overcooked.

Service: Service was lacking and our waitress was a bit snippy. She never did bring our change and then disappeared. We waited and finally left without it.

Ambiance: The dining room was attractive but we ate near the kitchen where we found it to be noisy with high traffic.

Above all, it was my birthday lunch. sob :(
