“I literally went there today and it wasn’t that great. I’ve been before as well and it was always better. My beef was cold and the service was super slow even though it was pretty dead inside.”

replying to u/greenshorts10: Tried them both recently and have to say Roll N' Roaster's was way better- both the sandwich and fries. Maybe just an off day for Brennan & Carr but if you can only hit one I recommend Roll N' Roaster.

replying to u/marcusmv3: This whole subs brain is fried by Manhattan pricing and a tire company's annual brochure. Roll N roaster serves up world class roast beef for $8.25. Sure it's on a Kaiser roll and served without au jus on the side, but what are those accessories and a 30 minute wait really worth to you.

replying to u/sir_topham_biff: A lot of people mention Johns on Stillwell ave. I too went because of all the mentions. But I think this place bought promotion from influencers to make a name for itself. It's just a regular deli. It's expensive and the menu is huge so you're left in awe by it The food wasn't bad by any means. It was a roast beef sandwich. Having to pay for the dip separately was weird. Came out to be like a $22 sandwich. But do I think it should be hyped? Not really. The roast beef was good but was the gravy anything special? Because that's really what makes it and I think I'd have to say that while it was thick, the flavor was largely generic. It's missing that homemade gravy flavor that you'd want. I remember when I was there thinking the best thing about this deli is that L&B is a block away.
“Like I've been to Brennan & Carr and Roll n Roaster but even when its served as a French dip, I still find their roast beef to be really dry.”
