"The Bacon Benedict seemed like a great idea in theory, but in practice it fell short. Soggy bacon, soggy roll, slightly underdone poached eggs. The potatoes were plain and packaged separately, which in this case seems like a good thing. I just sort of ate the kale (think "collard greens") and will put the potatoes away for some other use."

"You can never go wrong at Miano's, Arancini with Sauce and Cheese is very flavorful, theSMALL Chicken Parmigiana Sub is Generously proportioned, asell as the Italian Style Steak Fries. I would consider Milanos to be part of my regular rotation of lunch stops."
"Quality has really gone down at Milano's. I ordered a Chicken Parm sub, and fries. The fries were undercooked and soggy and had to be thrown away immediately. They also were covered in garlic (who does that?) The Chicken Parm barely filled the sub roll, and had very little sauce, and not enough cheese. This is my first time ordering from Milano's in years, and it'll be the last."

"I had the grilled chicken sandwich the other day and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Flavor, the ingredients meshed well together, and it was still hot when I had received it from my dasher. I also got a mint, lemon, and ginger water and I loved that!!"

"the Jeffries Point Special made my mouth sing. The cutlet was hot and fresh and so tasty, it rivals my own, which sux for me to admit."
"A little overpriced for what you get. The Antipasto Salad had a generous amount of meats and cheeses. The Italian Sub was good but nothing spectacular. The biggest disappointment was the Macaroni Salad. The macaroni was overcooked and spongy and soft and tasted like it was made with creamy Italian dressing. The whole thing was nasty. (And it cost an outrageous $10.79). "

"The CHICKEN BUFFALO CHICKEN BUFFALO was disgraceful and the sandwich came to me with the meat smelling rotted and the sandwich was just thrown together there’s half a tomato in one side of the sandwich and one string of lettuce. This is not what Charley’s looks like or taste like. This is my first time ordering from this specific location and it will be my last. The 10pc chicken wings are rubbery and disgusting no flavor nothing. This is what you call late night drunk food. This is disrespectful And extremely disgusting. "

"First time. Friggin amazing. Tender. So much flavor. Temp spot on. Maybe a bit more char would be nice but i just like a little burnt. Nice amount & a big sub. Cheesy. Can't wait to order again, tomorrow!! Haha. They do close at 6!"
"Unfortunately- this was not the best order. It's my second time ordering from Doms & have gotten the Steak Tip Sub each time. The first time- it was loaded with steak, cheese, crispy fresh peppers & onions. The entire thing just tasted like it was just made. Fries were nothing to ride home about. Ordered a can of coke & it was in the same bag laying against the sub. Cold can on a hot sub :( ??? Second time- I ordered Onion Rings. Very good. Large portion. Steak Tip Sub again too. But this time, the bread was so soggy, it was falling apart when I unrolled it. I don’t know if it was made ahead of time & sat or what. Also, I counted SIX pieces of steak on the sub. S I X. 6. I'm not sure if it's inconsistency issue or different people make them larger than others. I'd bet it's weighed so I'm assuming I just paid $4 per piece of meat on some bread that was loaded full of mushy peppers & onions. They steak tips are amazing. Going to try ordering again of course. Disappointed I paid $50 & was only able to enjoy a can of coke & onion rings the second time around."
