Points for: excellent American sandwiches
One of the best Reuben sandwiches in Melbourne.
The rye bread is buttered and grilled both sides, with loads of pastrami, pickles, and creamy coleslaw brings it all together. I love all the different textures.
Philly Cheese-steak - shaved grilled beef on a soft bun with creamy cheese sauce. Nice touch with the grilled capsicum.
Similar to the Reuben, the Rachael is made with turkey.
Served with pretzels and an extra bit of pickle, there is also a Mentos to freshen you up.
One of my favourite sandwich joints, recommended!
My rating: 4.5
Ohhh, what a nice discovery today. I meet up with a friend that works at 500 Bourke St and we walked up to nearby food court at 600 Bourke St. It's been such a long long time since I actually eaten around this area, so it was a nice change. My friend recommended me to try this American sandwhich place, which I thought was a brilliant idea.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Mason Dixon is located in Bourke Place Food Court at 600 Bourke Street near the corner of King St.
This Food Court looks soo much better than it was before, a wonderful modern upgrade (that's how long I havn't been here haha!
Mason Dixon is right at the very back end on the right hand side.
🔆SERVICE🔆
I came here with my friend after peak lunch rush hour at around 1.45pm on a Monday afternoon and was pretty quiet, well I thought so, until I realised those people sitting around ( 6 of them) were before us, Hahhaha!!
So I noticed at the register a sign to download Mealpal. For first time users, you can first order (lunch) for free and you pay $4.99 membership on 40% off meals at 500 participating restaurants, you can order your meal in advance to skip the queue. I have never seen it or used it before, but I am going to keep an eye out from now on :)
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
Wow, so much options to pick from and they now also have breakfast bagel and toastie options. So the prices has increased compared to the menu that is on zomato and Facebook, so people please keep this in mind.After looking at the menu for a short while, I decided to order the:
Cubano Miami Style, $13.50
(Ham, pulled pork, Swiss cheese, pickle, and citrus mojo on a toasted long Roll)
🔆VERDICT🔆
Absolutely delicious! Love how the long roll is toasted on those flat toastie sandwhich press which gives the sandwich a yummy crunch. The swiss cheese has melted all the way through, so when you bite into it the string of cheese just pulls out ever so lightly - yum! The pulled pork is soo tender and juicy its sooo good! Alot of times I've had pulled pork in a roll and the pork is not fresh or its very dry but this one at Dixon Mason is delicious.
A nice surprise at the bottom of the cardboard box is 2 pretzels and a mentos. A little unnecessary but a nice touch. The pretzels had already soften up by the oil and heat of the sandwich so wasn't that nice.
I will definitely be back to try more of their yummy sandwich.
If you are looking for traditional American style sandwiches, it's hard to go past Mason Dixon in the CBD. These sandwiches are seriously mouth watering and worth the wait in line!!
The Reuben has everything you need for this classic with juicy meat and saukraut... the juices were literally running down my fingers. The Cubano with jalapenos is perfectly spicy, and the pork was tender and tasty. I love that they come with a pickle to cut through the richness of the service.
With friendly staff, and efficient service; Mason Dixon is a lunch time institution in the city for good reason.
