Reid's - Uptown

Deli/Market/Grocery Store
$18 - lunch for 2 people & drinks (Thanks Jen!)

I love Reid's! To go at lunch there are quite a few options, a deli/sandwich bar, a hot lunch option and great make your own salads. They also have prepackaged sushi, sandwiches and other options to go. They have fresh baked cookies and desserts and an awesome fountain drink machine. My favorite thing to get is either Spiedie's sub or Spiedie's chicken with two sides. It's marinated grilled chicken with green and red peppers and onions either on a sub roll or alone. It's awesome and especially good with a side of mac & cheese and something green. The mac & cheese is great, big noodles and yummy melted cheese baked to perfection. In the past Reid's had a cookieman at lunch who would walk around passing out samples of the fresh baked desserts. I haven't seen him in a while so if you want one, you have to buy your own. They are big, usually warm and really good. The fountain drink machine has Coke products, of course, but also Dr Pepper and their lemons are always high quality...so good. The salad bar is always a good choice too with two sizes and lots of good options. They have soup too but I've never gotten it. I think they also have a coffee bar where you can order different coffee drinks. Because it's also a market, they have lots of good wine choices and do wine tastings once or twice a month. I've never been but heard they're fun. The final thing I'll add is they let people park free under 90 minutes and have their own section of the parking garage. It's an easy place to meet people who are coming uptown for lunch because of this.
