Carl's Bar & Delicatessen

I came to this place because I over heard someone saying it was the best place to get lunch. I liked the huge menu they offered and the server/bartender girl was awesome! The food was pretty darn good too. I'd come back if I lived here.

Love the selection of drinks at the full bar and the wide variety of beers (in the bottle--the on-tap list is alright, but not special). The waitstaff is usually good, but sometimes not so attentive, even at the bar.

The environment is open and friendly. I like the long room as if we were in Lawrence or someplace more historic.

The food, however, is not great at all. It seems most of it is prepackaged and heated up. Someone told me they served bar food, so I ordered nachos. OMG, they brought out a plastic tray of round tortilla chips with the little compartment of nacho cheese, like at the ball park!! And for a stupid price like $6!! I'm convinced the pizza is a frozen cheese pizza with some toppings added before they stick it in the oven. If it's not, the pizza is just tastes like it. Just weird to me. Sandwiches are ok with an ok selection of what to put on the bread.

They might consider dropping "delicatessen" from their name and this would be a great bar that happens to serve munchies. Advertising as a bar AND deli gives you the idea you can get good food too.

So the deal is this...go in, drink til you don't notice what you're munching on and all's well! I'm still going in and tipping well.

Great place, good food, great selection of  beers. Great atmosphere. Decent prices. Order Dans special  weiner
