How great is the food at Camille's Sidewalk Cafe?
What do you or don't you like about them? How do they compare to McCallister's Deli?
Not this **** again...
I know a few people that don't go there anymore because they got bored with the food.
We used to eat there quite often, but they reduced their portion sizes and raised their prices.
I can think of nothing about them I like. I can't understand how they have grown so much.
I'm always still hungry!
I don't get the attraction, personally.
The food is mediocre at best, the prices are too high for what you get, and they always seem to be training new people behind the counter, so there's always a problem or delay.
I just don't see much of a reason to go back, there are lots of other places that are better and more affordable.

Well said and totally agree. Its just more corporate food offerings with little substance.
i went to the one on cherry st. on a friday night w/ some friends for dinner... it was around 845 - 855pm the manager seemed extremely put-off that we were there, since they close @ 9...on cherry street on a friday night!? Regardless, he told us we could only get our food to go.
The wrap I got was also sub-par, at best.
I havent been back and i dont plan on going back, either.
We went to the "Corporate" store probably a year ago for breakfast. It was our first and last time for breakfast (really turned us off in general). Their eggs were frozen (piss poor planning) and we had to wait for them to thaw. They finally brought our stuff after waiting a really long time, it wasn't great. I sent an email and complained and was given vouchers for free food. Whoopie!!
I don't eat there often, but I usually have a decent experience. I always get the same thing (the oriental wrap), and I like it. Haven't tried anything else there.
Camille's = Don't really go there, boring food
McAlisters - Love the iced tea and a great sandwich selection. I tried the baked potato once and wasn't all that impressed. My current fave is a quarter Muffalatta sandwich. I started going when the only one was up in Owasso by the Albertsons. Then the one in Broken Arrow opened. This is one restaurant I wish would open in Utica Square. Love the Iced Tea.

Sounds just like their "Coney Beach" location in Bixby.
First time the wife and I went there it was $28 for the two of us. Twenty damn eight dollars for two people to eat hot dogs(two each) and two drinks.
They have lowered their prices, but it is still overpriced.
I would rather go to Steve's Sundries, Fellinis, or Sidewalk Cafe in Mall 31, spend the same amount of money and have better food...and service! Camilles is ok though.
yeah. like everyone else. Nothing.

Yes! Steve's Sundries...Katherine makes great sandwiches, and her specials and soups are A+. I might have to go there today for a "Special Grilled Cheese". Yum!
And she puts lime in my tea. Love that.
Four years ago my company was involved in designing several Camille's in a number of states. I would say the main problem with Camille and her husband (who are really nice people) is the little Napoleon's they have surrounded themselves with as administrators. They began with a great and fresh food idea over at Woodland Hills, but it looks like they have strayed. A part of the blame for that has to be with their advisers. Some of the people working at Camille's when we were associated with them were really not very nice people.
Yes, when a company expands like that sometimes it is very difficult to find good people to run the stores.
But I do love their cinnamon rolls!
I eat lunch at the 96th & Riverside location about twice a month.
