Oct 2013 - This is a very pricy sandwich. You can also get it with 2 sides for $8.59. We had it on toasted homemade bread, thus the high rating. Subtract one chicken if you get it on a standard bun.

They are located in the food court of the Indian Mound Mall. Use entrance "C"" on the north side by the movie theaters.
Note: This is the re-incarnation of Miller's Essenplatz that used to be in Newark.
