In some ways it's good, because business is stable and predictable so we can prepare fresh food. Here it's the day after Thanksgiving every day. All the pasta salads, shrimp, chicken, tuna, egg and potato salads, and cole slaw are made from scratch. In addition David and Dad's offers vegetarian sandwiches, a turkey burger and turkey pastrami for those who are looking for low fat alternatives. David and Dad's also has a unique service policy.
Customers order at the counter, choose a drink from the coolers and sit down at a table.
The banana pudding, classically garnished with vanilla wafers, is also homemade. Cookies, pound cake, brownies, bagels and croissants come from an outside purveyor, as David acknowledges that is would be hard to make baked goods as good as what they can buy. David and Dad's also serves espresso, cappuccino and latte as well as soft-serve yogurt, a popular afternoon treat during the summer.
