I was there last week and I fully agree with you regarding the convoluted menu system. There's the standard menu, which has two size sandwiches, and then there's the customer-crafted menu listing funny named sandwiches that customers created. For example, there's one called "Clear the Track", which Eddie Shack created. I don't recall its contents. These customer-created sandwiches come in half pound and one pound versions; a few of the one pound sandwiches right around $20 without fries but with a pickle. Was there a third menu on the table too? I think you're correct, but I forget what it listed. Do you remember?
I had the corned beef and it was very good. I also appreciated the fact that the servers were asking each guest if they wanted their meat "lean, medium or fatty." I opted for lean and it was plenty juicy. They also also serve sweet potato fries, which I ordered, but I don't think they go so well with that kind of sandwich.
I went there looking for the Fresser's Delight, something I always ordered when the old owners ran the place, but it was not on the menu and I wasn't going to shell out $20 for their 1 lb sandwich.
The place was doing a pretty good take-out business but the eat-in was pretty dead.
