Schroeder's New Deli

I've always enjoyed the local hippie Schroeder's restaurants.  The music is classic, the staff is upbeat, and there are sprouts on everything!  
Due to my wheat allergy, I can no longer enjoy the sandwiches, of which there are many to select.  But I still love the potato skins.
The owners seem extremely reluctant to change.  As one reviewer noted, they have had the same menu forever.  I guess it works for them, but I was disappointed when Anna wasn't allowed to add some of her delicious creations to the menu several years ago (locals will know who I'm talking about).

My personal favorite Schroeder's location because it's right next to Berry. If you are a student they run pretty decent specials. They used to do $.50 fries for the Berry crowd, and anyone can get buckets of PBR for around 5 bucks all day. As far as dining goes, it's definitely good. There are a ton of sandwiches, wraps etc. and watch out: they will put sprouts on anything. You would be hard pressed to spend more than around $10 for an appetizer and entree. They also run specials on appetizers if you are early enough. My advice- grab a couple friends and stop by their porch in the summer for some pitchers and appetizers.

I remembered the downtown Rome location from my days as a Berry undergrad ten years ago.  Was very glad to see the menu hasn't changed much - still an awesome assortment of snacks, pizzas, and sandwiches at really good prices.  The server working today was very friendly and the Charlie Dog, one of my old favorites, was as good as I remember.  Huge drink, big basket of fries and a terrific sandwich with friendly and attentive service to boot - this is what a local restaurant is supposed to be about, all for under $10.
