Carm's Beef & Italian Ice

Tasty, flavorful, and I really liked the perfectly seasoned peppers and celery on top. I had asked for my sandwich to come dry, but they served it wet (dipped) instead. Not a deal breaker, as it was still really good. Horchata Italian ice was also really refreshing. They accept credit cards but with a $5 minimum purchase... Italian ice is cash only!

I did not try the food, but the italian ice, oh my!!!! I tried the strawberry favor, which was delicious. However, I was surprised at the horchata flavor. So, so tasty without it being overlysweet. It has pieces of rice that give it some texture. It's a must try, but, be sure to bring cash. It's cash only on the Italian ice side.

Tender and juicy Italian beef with an amazing texture, giardinera with just the right amount of crunch, looks like it was made in house. This is definitely the kind of sandwich you have to eat two handed, and not put down or it'll fall apart. Can also be ordered without dip. They had hibiscus Italian ice, not sure if it's a one-off flavor but I like it. Tastes just like a frozen agua jamaica. The Italian ice ordering counter is separate from the food one and only takes cash. Food counter takes card. No guest bathroom on premises.

I was in the area shopping 🛍 and I remembered there was 2 sandwich shops across from each other .
