Druxy’s Famous Deli

Great option for salads!
$ 6.50 for a «small» salad. Small is in quotes because
a) the bowl is about 7″ across and 2.5″ deep and
b) you get unlimitted toppings. That includes nuts, cheese, egg, fruit and BACON. They don’t skimp, either!
Only down side is that their balamic isn’t that good… I put up with Fresh Fast Food’s salad shenanigans just for their to-​die-​for balsamic!
Today I had a serious hankering for an avacado club sandwhich, but given the great price of this salad and the tightness of my pants I decided to meet my craving in the middle with a salad creation:
–Romaine/​Spinach
–Bacon, Avacado, Cheddar, Tomato, Mango, Green Onion, Carrot
–dressed lightly with Balsamic & Ranch
I don’t know if it was really that much healthier, but it was darn good!

I love me some Druxy’s. Yet it must be noted that all Druxy’s are not equal, you will find the good, the bad and the downright ugly if you frequent more than a few of em. However like other reviewers have noted this location is among the finest in the city. The staff are super helpful and they have the most incredible «Wicked Thai» soup. I’m not sure if this is a Druxy’s staple, as I have only ever encountered it at this location, yet if it isn’t, it should be. The soup is a delicate balance between the sweet and spicy with creamy coconut richness bringing it all home. It is hearty and light at the same time and can be trusted to aid in combating the roughest of night’s out. Although I must state that this is by no means a «hangover soup.» It is just as good, if not better when one possesses the full range of cognitive abilities needed to appreciate it fully.
I should mention that I have never been successful in purchasing «Wicked Thai» after 1:30PM. It sells out with almost certain regularity. So if you want some… and you do, hit up Druxy’s before say 1:00pm.
This is something you need to try! Let me know what y’all think.

I’ve been to several Druxy’s around the downtown area and I have to say, this one is the best I’ve tried. The staff are friendly and patient with your orders. The salad selection is fresh and ranges with everything you can think of, compared to the other Druxy’s I’ve been to.
I ordered the small salad ($ 6.00), complete with over 40 toppings to choose from. The staff kept encouraging me to fill it up to the very brim. And best of all, they tossed it together so all the toppings and dressings was spread out.
I’ve never been excited to eat salad, but this location changed my mind.
Definitely a hidden gem. Go try it out!

You’re probably wondering why a Druxy’s deserves a review? I mean, they’re all over the city and you probably think they’re all the same. Well you’re right. Most of them are total shit and taste like hospital food… except for this little gem hidden away in Commerce Court.
The main draw of this place is unquestionably the staff. It stems right from the owner all the way down to each individual server. It’s like they’re all apart of some secret cult, cuz every single one of them is a complete joy to speak to whether you’re ordering breakfast, making a gargantuan sandwich or salad. Come lunch time, you can literally hear the hot sandwich guy yelling and singing «HOT SANDWICHES! GET YOUR ROAST BEEF HERE!» from around the corner.
The setup is very simple, you order what you want, sandwich or salad, but the beauty is you get to stuff them with whatever you want. UNLIMITED TOPPINGS! No big deal right? It wouldn’t be but they have almost every topping you could hope for. Pine nuts, sunflower seeds, green onions, chinese crispy noodles, THEY HAVE BRIE!
I once made a «grilled cheese sandwich» that consisted of havarti, cheddar, smoked salmon, bacon, onions and tomatoes. Heart attack and a half for sure, but a satisfying breakfast nonetheless.
Anyways, clearly I’m excited about this place and I just want them to get the recognition they deserve. They really take the extra step to make you smile while you’re ordering your food. They provide you with free wifi and they don’t care if you just sit there and enjoy yourself. Hell, they even come around and offer you complimentary tea or coffee if you stay long enough. In a crowded hub in the financial district, where vendors take your money and try to get you out the door as quickly as possible… that’s saying something.
