Lambert's Fruit Centerville

Tomorrow I leave the Cape to go home to Florida. I ate here everyday since May. Boar's Head meats, best processed meat in the world. The young woman who made the 3-Rachel Sandwiches I ate every week (Pastrami/Slaw/1K Island) will be missed. SO GOOD. Great selection of food in a very long case. Killer Meat Loaf, Lasagna, great sides of Mashed and Squash with big portions at fair prices. It didn't hurt that a woman who works there looks exactly like the actress Diane Lane. I'm going to miss Lambert's. --Fred Rice, Mt. Dora, Fl.

I love the salad bar and the sweet pretty lizy lambert, is always so helpful

** FOOD HANDLER FAIL ** Used to like it ok, prefer the Dorchester location. Not a great salad bar, compared to Dorch. Today I was gonna try the salad bar, as they were just loading in freshly boiled eggs. But then I lost my appetite: I witnessed staff [standing right next to me] replenishing the self-serve salad bar. Dude with raggy long ponytail and NO gloves on, grabbed a handful of sprouts from the packaging and placed them by bare hand into the salad bar container. Then he took the tongs for the sliced onions and placed them with the sprouts. But wait, there's more. Picked up - with his bare hands - a loose cherry tomato that had rolled out of its container onto the bar, and put it back with the other cherry tomatoes. I alerted the manager, walked him over and showed him exactly what went down, and ID'd the perp. Manager said "He knows better" And I said "Really? I don't think so. That's gross, its Food Handling 101. I won't be using your salad bar anymore". Customer at the salad bar witnessed our exchange and nodded her head in support. Manager said "I apologize" but no offer to pay for my lunch from the hot bar.
