Homemades By Suzanne

Ordered catering for lunch food arrived fresh, early and the order was correct. Friendly staff excellent service. I had the turkey club and was able to substitute my pasta and carrot cake for a side salad and the red velvet cake yummy! Thanks!

Homemades by Suzanne. I was expecting so much more. Let me be clear, I made an order for takeout. Which might have been the limiting issue here. I did not go to sit at the restaurant. I split the 4 meals between 2 people. I am just noting what I found with my meals here. My friend may feel that they had a better selection. I will let him tell the tail if he wants to later (SMILE) First the Good:
I purchased 4 lunch box combo’s with a groupon. Each lunch was priced at 9.95 and included a Sandwich, Salad, Deviled Egg, Desert, and chocolate mint treat. The salads that I had (Potato and Fruit) were pretty good. The Dessert (Velvet and Carrot Cake) were good, and worthy of the name.
Now the Bad:
However, the first Sandwich (Roast Beef and Cheddar) had a bun that was harder than a brick. Took the bun off to finish the meat. Which was also hardly in existence. The next Sandwich had a bit more meat, and at least had lettuce and Tomato to add to the flavors of the sandwich. The bun was better, but still hard and chewy. This could just be what is prefered for the meals, but it is not my style. The deviled egg was just ok, nothing special and really not that good. Although it is unusual to see deviled eggs offered, so it was a nice touch. Needs a bit more devil though (SMILE)
If the Sandwich for each meal had been better, I would have given this restaurant at least 4 stars. But, I feel even with the above average dessert and good salad’s available, that the poor sandwich detracted too much from the overall meal. What should have been a really nice box lunch, turned into a average to below average meal. Knock another 2 dollars off the meal, and I would have been ok with it as well. The only saving grace was the groupon deal.
So, if you do not want a good sandwich, and dessert is your thing, this will be enjoyable. I did like the combination of items in the lunch, but would have liked to see more focus on the actual main event (the Sandwich) in my opinion.

What a delightful place to have lunch!
Sitting the old John Marshall Hotel ballroom, at tables of starched white linens and lovely china and silver (Fancy!), you can enjoy a variety of homemade selections that include a lunch entrée, side and beverage for around $ 10.
Choices include quiche, an incredible crab cake, various meat salads (chicken, shrimp, tuna), BLT, turkey and even country ham, salads, sides, and all sorts of homemade desserts.
My favorites are her quiche and crab cake, either one washed down with a freshly made Limeade!

Upon my lunchtime wanderings I decided to search for the downtown location of Homemades by Suzanne. I ended up calling to find out that it was actually inside the John Marshall. It is situated to the left inside a nicely decorated ballroom. Great place for a lunch date! I was promptly greeted and ordered the crab cake sandwich, grilled veggies and a limeade for about $ 9.80. The food arrived promptly and then I heard a woman greeting guests. A friend pointed out that it was Suzanne lol. I told her I had to get a pic because I her food soooo much. She was sweet and of course my lunch was excellent! The grilled veggies were seasoned so well, I could have actually ate them as a meal and I’m not vegetarian. Plus they have a table of goodies (pecan pies, choc pie, cakes, cookies) So if u have a chance check this place out for lunch.
