We have given McCalls two tries and we won't go back. First time I had beef on weck, which I originally tried in Buffalo, NY ( best sandwich I'd ever had!) so when I heard the McCalls had it I had to try it. Certainly nothing special at McCalls. It came on a greasy roll with no salt on it. As I recall, the seasoning is the best part of the roll. I asked the server if there had been a mistake in the kitchen where they just put the beef on a regular roll and she said no that sometimes in shipping the salt comes off. Well maybe they could put more salt on before serving if they know this is a problem??

So another time we took friends there who had never been and they tried seating us at one of those micro tables. I told them that we would not be able to fit our dinners on the table and could we have a larger table. The server was clearly put out by our request but sat us at one anyhow. Then when ordering our meals, when my husband was ordering his meal the server asked "do you want a roll with that?" She paused and then said "It comes with it". So why ask? If it's part of the meal put it on the plate! Our friends weren't impressed with the food and neither were we. Too many other establishments to visit. Won't go back.
