C & M Carry Out

Everything IS made from scratch. Great tiny local place to grab some food and go. Very polite and accommodating staff.

C&M is wonderful. Been going here since I was in Kindergarten. Love the staff, the subs are delicious. The tea cannot be beat. Highly recommend the steak and Cheese! YUM.

First timer — I had a pastrami on rye, listed as a daily special. Definitely above average and the thousand island dressing was definitely homemade. Good prices, the staff was very friendly. Also ordered the potato salad. Very good! I will definitely be coming back.

Very good food for the price. Very friendly staff. The only downfall is the cash only policy. I think this place would do much better if they weren’t cash only. Great homemade sweet tea!!!

I went to C&M with my boyfriend for a late lunch and didn’t get what I expected from the visit.
I had tried to look up their menu online and found a photo of the dry erase board that’s on the right when you enter. It was misleading because when I went in today, none of the items were the same as listed and I was very disappointed since the photo I saw said ½ chicken parmesan sandwich which is what I had been wanting to order and it wasn’t listed on the regular menu. which is behind the counter with a much large selection of items to chose from.
Unlike in Shaun’s review on 9÷20÷2010, I did not ask what’s good and decided to order a cheese steak. Unless you don’t mind steakums, don’t order the cheese steak. I do not mind steakums and I found the comparison to a high school cafeteria cheese steak that my boyfriend made to be accurate for the most part except C&M’s was probably more greasy. Don’t take this the wrong way – I loved high school cafeteria lunches.
My boyfriend ordered the BBQ sandwich and said it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great.
I suppose if we were to go another round at this place we might consider other reviews first and choose something different.

Two stars. Nothing more, nothing less.
I came to C&M Carry Out on a limb since I was close in the area for lunch time. The menus here specialize in sandwiches and subs. I went and ordered the whole Cheesesteak sub. Yeah, that was the wrong choice. For $ 8.43 (including tax), I would expect more than a replica of a Steak-​Umm from the frozen section of the supermarket. When I unwrapped the sub, I was displeased by the texture. I became even more disappointed with the taste. Definitely not worth the price I paid, and that’s unfortunate.
As far as customer service goes, it seems like the lady who served me was more focused on providing drive-​by service by getting me in and out of the store as quick as she could. The worst part was: the store wasn’t busy at all. I was unmistakably turned off by the lady who seemed like she was too high on her invisible horse to return a «hello» greeting upon arrival.
The restaurant does not take credit cards, as previous Unilocalers have mentioned. However, there is an ATM inside. I didn’t have to use it.
Do I feel that maybe this is one isolated incident? I really don’t know. Fortunately, I won’t be coming back to find out if it was or not. I think one attempted drive-​by attempt at service is enough for one lifetime.

«We make everything from scratch; except the cheese steak, of course.»
My brother and I tried C&M today and when he asked what was good, this was part of the response he got.
«Yeah, okay, they make some of their own potato salad or soups from scratch,» I thought. But when I took my first bite of chef’s salad, I knew that this wasn’t HIdden Valley Ranch. Sure enough, when I followed up with Ellie and Effie, the two ladies behind the counter, they even make their dressings from scratch.
«The polish dogs and Italian sausages?» I asked. Yep.
«The crab cakes?» Yep.
Everything is made from scratch and tastes like it.
Ellie, the more talkative one, told me that she’s been working at C&M for 40 years and has lived in the United States for about 50 years. Originally she’s from a small island in Greece. I haven’t tried the baklava or gyro on the menu yet, but something tells me I should.
Five stars for food, four stars because it’s cash-​only and has very little seating. At least it has more seating than Rieve’s.
The upside to the cash-​only policy is that the prices are incredible. Half a cheese steak sandwich (approx. 8″) for only $ 3.95.

This place has the best homemade rice pudding and iced tea.

Big homemade sub sandwiches! That’s what comes to mind. Walk in, or phone your order in, but they are fast. They are very set up for the masses!
They have a variety from a vegetarian sub to a full blown meat with everything mustard and mayo. They also carry salads (macaroni, potato, slaw.) and even have a few desserts (baklava and rice pudding). The selection of beverages and chips are just right and I enjoyed my no frills easy to order lunch!
Brown bag and out the door you go!
I highly recommend it if you need some fast to go sandwiches. They also have a few tables inside for eating there.
