A: I love a good sandwich and this place has stolen my heart. I can't say enough about how amazing their sandwiches are. I had the Bill Walsh (former 49 ers coach) but I think they should change it to the Joe Walsh because this sandwich rocked! I know that sounds cheesy but it's true. The menu is huge so there is something for everyone including vegans. In my opinion a great sandwich starts with great bread and there's is right in the money! And they used this amazing garlic aioli that smells like what I imagine heaven smells like. Damn it was good! A perfect mix of turkey, cheese, avocado and the heavenly sauce. Mmm Mmm good! It's been 36 hours since I've eaten there and I think I will go back there tomorrow for lunch. I'm a little surprised about their choice for the first location in AZ. It's across the street from Fiesta Mall which is quickly closing stores. And many nearby restaurants have gone out if business. I would think that they would have chosen a spot with mire traffic. So fingers crossed that they get tons of business because if they close I'm going to have to move to California to get my fix.

Q: negative

A: After moving to the area, I really wanted LBS to win me over so I could count on it to be my regular, nearby, burger joint. But unfortunately after three attempts, I've received average to poor service. The burgers were underwhelming, bland, and never cooked to my specified doneness. The fries are plentiful, whether you get the famous spicy potato twisters or just regular thin cuts, but definitely not enticing enough to even eat more than a few bites. LBS, in my opinion, gives you just that pounds of food, but in the taste category, it just doesn't cut it.

Q: negative

A: They charge for chips and salsa. Cockroach came out from under our table so we left.

Q: positive

A:
By no means the best Mediterranean food I've had, but definitely not the worst. It was actually very good and the only thing that I think could use some work is the hummus, which I found to be rather flat. I tried the Di Vita Salad and was surprised by the overall size of it, by the ample quantity of nicely grilled chicken that topped it, and the overall quality of the produce, especially the green beans and artichoke hearts. My son had a kids meal. He enjoyed the grilled chicken (nice to not see fried chicken strips on a kids menu for once), but eschewed the side salad and hummus. This didn't surprise me a bit, though. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Pita di Vita.
