During our many years in service, we have been voted the Best Lunch Place, Best Outdoor Dining, Best Kept Secret, Best Power Lunch, and the Best Garden Lunch Place in Riverside. In 2000, Mac & Barb were ready to retire. They sold the business to their youngest daughter Kitty and her husband Keith Holloway. The Inland Empire Magazine has since voted us Best Sandwiches and Best Outdoor Dining in the Inland Empire the last two years. In 2021, Keith and Kitty were ready to retire. They sold the business to long time family friends, the Reinhardt's. Alan Reinhardt and his fiance, Hilda Boltz, kept all the food the same, cooked and sliced fresh daily, following in the footsteps of mom and pop Halloway and McCluskey.

I really wanted to like this place, but it didn't do it for me. I thought they would have more of variety of sandwiches like Upper Crust or Simple Simon's, but they don't. The sandwiches don't...
