We personally have tried about 90% of the menu items and various daily "specials" offered at Sue's, so we think we can adequately review such a lunch place. We personally have mixed reviews about Sue's. To start, there is no consistency with the food as in sometimes they have croissants, sometimes they don't. The soups are the same way too and it depends on how long it lasts throughout the week. If people order too much of it one day, it's gone that day.
They make a great chili, a variety of soups, wraps, salads, and sandwiches. The salads are always huge, but sometimes dry and needs a lot of dressing. Most of the food has a decent taste, however, they are overpriced compared to the area restaurants. Mainly, you get a small sandwich, some potato chips, and a pickle for $6-7. Sue's makes a fine BLT, but be careful, if you aren't paying attention; you will end up with a mouthful of mayonnaise.
The restaurant is crammed into the first floor of the 130 South Elmwood federal building. They do have another location on Main St, but the problem is they aren't open past 2pm or anytime on the weekend. People are confused if they are really a Greek place or not. They should also invest in a deep fryer for like fries, although they lean toward more of a health conscious crowd. You can call ahead of time to order and pick it up when you want and you can go there and pay for it ahead of time, which is always nice. If you don't order ahead of time, you're probably going to have to wait a few minutes in line, especially around noon, before they get to you. It is not handicap accessible by any means, nor is it a comfortable atmosphere to be able to sit during lunch. This is the place you eat at when you forget your lunch at home or a last minute thing, but definitely not somewhere you would make plans to go ahead of time.
Final Rating: 3.0 out of 5

Sue's is a deli, not fine dining. I have not seen anything in Sue's that did not look of hig quality. The food is freshly made, most things hand cut/made. The portion size is fine, some things like the BLT are a little on the smallish side. Restaurant 101, anything that comes with bacon is always more expensive. There is a substantial amount of Bacon on the sandwich, bread is toasted not grilled, lettuce and tomatoes, cool and crisp as they are supposed to. I hate a dry sandwich, so i don't mind a little extra mayo. With one exception, the soup is always good, hot and fresh, as for the soup or special running out, either get there earlier or order in the morning !
