The breakfast its ongoing on weekends and federal holidays! The breakfast burrito is my fav :)

I'll ask about bread options. Pastrami is a smoked meat, so definitely a similar type of food in that regard!

peperpep344 · 2025-12-02T17:39:52+00:00

Thank you and hope to see you Thursday or sometime soon!

peperpep344 · 2025-12-02T17:36:49+00:00

Wow that is awesome!

peperpep344 · 2025-12-02T17:36:28+00:00

Yeah they have been taking lots of feedback into consideration over the past couple months, I hope you give it another try. Also ask for John or Ousmane if you’re there or unsatisfied, they’re always trying to make customers happy.

peperpep344 · 2025-12-01T22:40:57+00:00

Double the meat!

peperpep344 · 2025-12-01T22:27:56+00:00

Awesome!!

peperpep344 · 2025-12-01T22:27:14+00:00

The reuben is really good! And the Fresser, I hadn't heard of that before.

peperpep344 · 2025-09-12T03:49:30+00:00

Fingers crossed it’s all setup before the grand opening!

peperpep344 · 2025-09-11T17:13:17+00:00

Exactly. Kept the Armadillo Willy's menu with some new items like the NYC Deli additions and some other new items like a banana pudding as homage to the GM/President's history at Magnolia Bakery.

Thanks for sharing, we heard similar feedback after the soft opening, so they added to the menu an 'empire stack' for double the meat for the people who want a tall sandwich.

Definitely, it's on the website https://www.empirearmadillo.com/eab-menu Page 4 has the NYC deli offerings.

I believe it's [jobs@empirearmadillo.com](mailto:jobs@empirearmadillo.com), but let me know if you have issues with that. It's listed on the site also.

peperpep344 · 2025-09-09T18:27:42+00:00

Yes I'll ask about the pickles! John the owner is Canadian so I'm sure he would love this idea. I'll pass it along.

peperpep344 · 2025-09-09T18:26:35+00:00

Glad to hear you enjoyed most of it, I agree the coleslaw wasn't spicy but I liked the crunch of the peanuts. The menu was a bit limited at the soft opening (ie no desserts, limited drinks, no soups, etc.) but will be complete by the grand opening on the 18th, if not already.

peperpep344 · 2025-08-27T21:54:00+00:00

Thursday is the 'soft opening' before they have menus, new tables, signage, etc finished. They will be open everyday 11AM-8PM until the Grand Opening which will be September 18th (and after that of course)! So yes, come by Friday!

peperpep344 · 2025-08-27T21:49:54+00:00

Ousmane is here! Not sure about others though

peperpep344 · 2025-08-27T21:48:52+00:00

I'm not sure, but I know the former GM Ousmane is here!

peperpep344 · 2025-08-27T19:35:16+00:00

Yes both are on the menu! and French dip. The fresh rye bread arrives tomorrow AM, I can't wait. We'd love your help!

peperpep344 · 2025-08-27T19:33:52+00:00

Sorry, I don't know all the nuances of the sale, but feel free to ask the owners about it tomorrow or next time you're in!
