Maverick's

Since originally this site was supposed to (and hopefully will eventually) be a restaurant review site - It's time to unleash with Mavericks.

Maverick's
1746 Lexington Ave., Roseville; (651) 488-1788
Hours: 11:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Monday-Friday; 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Saturday



Sure - It's an unsuspecting shitty little storefront in some unsuspecting shitty little strip mall in unsuspecting shitty Roseville - But JESUS H CHRIST can they make a sandwich!


I usually have the roast beef combo ($6.97 and worth every penny). That's a REAL roast beef sandwich on a freshly baked roll, the WORLDS FINEST french fries, and a fountain beverage. They have Pepsi which kinda sux, but I can live with the Dr. Pepper.





The roast beef is actually ROAST BEEF, not that chopped and formed rodent loaf found at Arbys. It is delicious, lean, rare-to-medium beef, thinly sliced. It rivals the prime rib at Nye's.


The true secret, in my opinion, can be created from the accoutrements on the condiment bar. I strongly recommend the following:

• one small cup (provided for your condiment pleasure)
• 1/2 Horseradish Sauce
• 1/2 BBQ Sauce

Now you can use one of the smaller french fries to blend the two together into a delicious fry dipping sauce. Mavericks fries are by no means flaccid.

They also sell beef brisket sandwiches on a nice pumpernickel roll, but I'm all about the roast beef sandwich. Call me a purist.
