I can't make up mind about Baker Bros. Is its Old Town location a decent alternative for salads or sandwiches that just happens to be a chain, or is it just another chain serving more chain food?
Part of the problem is that the food isn't consistent. The last time I was there, the Santa Barbara salad tasted like it had been made first thing in the morning and left out to wilt. At other times, if you can overlook the industrial canned olives and food service boiled lunch meats, the salads are fresh and interesting.
Plus, since I long ago gave up hope of finding real delicatessen in Dallas, I can enjoy the Reuben and pastrami sandwiches at Baker Bros. without too much guilt.
If someone would open a nice sandwich shop in Lake Highlands, they'd make a killing. You can't find a decent sandwich anywhere in Lake Highlands. And no, Subway and Quizno's don't count - not that those are easy to find in LH proper, either.
I'm tired of having to make the hike and negotiate the driveway at Great Outdoors at Park Lake and Greenville. There's also a great sub shop called Jersey Mike's on Greenville near SMU. If they had a Lake Highlands location, they could print money.
Our relatives in Richardson have a Great Outdoors AND a Potbelly shop just down the street from their house. It's just not fair.
