The same can be said for the group of students from Menomonie whose efforts have given birth to a new and unique establishment – Gallery 111.

Mancino’s Grinders and Pizza

Mancino’s is fast, relaxed, and family-friendly. Their trademark “grinder” sandwiches are toasted open-face on bread baked fresh everyday. The popular Chicken Ranch grinder combines marinated chicken, bacon, cheese, ranch sauce, and mayo for a simple yet effective taste explosion. Every sandwich comes with a crunchy pickle. Catering services, party platters, vegetarian friendly, free wireless internet, and delivery.

Avg Price: Entrée: $4-$6

Customer Review

I have always had a certain fondness for Mancino’s because it used be a great place. I am afraid that they have started to go down hill a bit over the years though. I very rarely ever eat at the Commonwealth Ave location anymore because the service can be terrible and the food barely palatable, usually because of its poor preparation. Unfriendly and inconvenienced is the feeling I normally get when dinning at this location. The ham is often fatty and grisly. They seem to have a pretty high turnover for employees and I have not been back to that location for a while. I now frequent the W. Clairemont Ave location and have found it to be a better dinning experience and typically better food overall. When the grinders are well prepared, they are fantastic. One of the very best hot sandwiches around. I have had the pizza before and was entirely unimpressed. I think the only difference between a frozen pizza from the grocery store and their pizza is: I didn’t have to make it myself.

Local Rating

WOW!!! That is all I can say! WOW!!! This was my first 3D movie and it was absolutely amazing. The special effects, the story line, the action, it was just spectacular. There is a very good reason why this has grossed over a billion dollars world-wide. What can James Cameron do next?
