Copy editor Trisha Cormeny and husband Jason decided to grab a quick bite at Dominic's Deli & Eatery while out and about on a Saturday afternoon in Palm Coast. The deli offers breakfast and lunch-type items as well as a fully stocked salad bar, made-to-order salads and soups.
Q: Tell us more about the menu.
Offerings range from a Single Play breakfast sandwich consisting of one egg, one meat choice and one cheese item on either white, wheat, rye, biscuit, bagel, kaiser roll or a wrap for $3.75 to That Dirty Bird -- turkey, corned beef, pastrami, swiss cheese and spicy mustard on a kaiser roll -- served with chips and a pickle for $10.75.
Q: So what attracted you to this place?
Centrally located, Dominic's looked like an easy place to get in and out of that offered something other than the same old fast food or mass-ordered sandwich. Plus the prices seemed to be reasonable.
Q: What makes this eatery different from others?
The salad bar offers anything one could pretty much want in a salad. Not only does it offer the typical salad fare such as baby spinach and carrots, but there is an array of toppings and pre-made salads, as well. At a price of $6.99, it was enough to entice us to stop and take a look.
Q: What if I don't have time to sit down to eat?
No worries. Dominic's offers a brown bag lunch where you simply call them before you head out and they will have the meal packed and ready for you to grab when you stop by. The business also offers catering and delivery service with a $15 minimum order and $1 service charge.
Q: You mentioned breakfast. What do they offer?
Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. weekdays and noon on weekends. Dominic's offers three-egg omelets starting at $4.75, a Southwest breakfast burrito for $4.75, stacked sandwiches and even made-to-order items such as homemade French toast with a side of bacon, ham or sausage for $5.75.
Q: What are the options for lunch or an afternoon snack?
From soups to made-to-order "sinful salads" and sandwiches, this is where the deli really shines.
Q: What did you have?
Trisha opted for the Cuban panini ($7.25). While it came with chicken, ham, Swiss and "dijonnaise" mustard, she opted to switch to the honeycomb mustard dressing. The sweet honey taste blended with the rest of the panini very well, making the whole sandwich melt with each bite.
Jason decided to live dangerously and build his own concoction using the Between the Breads selections ($7.25). He chose ham and yellow American cheese on a sub roll with pickles and mayonnaise. When his meal came out, the sandwich was so large, it almost stretched off the plate. Piled high with cheese and ham, it was a mouth-watering meal that satisfied the palate perfectly.
Both sandwiches came with chips and a pickle. Or, for an additional 75 cents, guests may choose from potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw or fruit.
We decided to wash the meal down with sodas ($1.99 each.) While there were a number of desserts to choose from (cheesecake, black and white cookie and New York crumb cake, to name a few,) we decided we could not eat another bite.
