I came here because I heard of the Monday grilled cheese special and let me tell you. The recommendations weren't lying. That grilled cheese and tomato soup hit so damn hard. I'm definitely coming back again for the special and other sandwiches as well.
First time here and I was blown away. I ordered the Roll the Hard Six sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. The roast beef was perfectly rare and tender, the ciabatta bread was fresh and had just the right chew, and all the toppings worked together beautifully. The sprouts and jalapeños gave it crunch and a little kick, the honey mustard spread added just the right sweetness, and the drizzle of red wine vinaigrette tied it all together. Every bite had layers of flavor. I paired it with the pesto pasta salad on the side garlic forward, balanced, and super tasty. The people working there were really friendly and clearly care about what they do. Since it was my first visit, they even gave me a sample of the poblano corn chowder, which was so good I already know I’ll be ordering it next time. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but honestly, everything is nowadays and here you’re paying for quality. The atmosphere is cool, the owners (I think that’s who they were) were great to chat with, and to top it all off I finished with a homemade chocolate chip cookie… soft, and delicious. This place is definitely worth checking out, and I’ll be back for sure.
What a treat! They do not make sandwich shops like this anymore. So happy we stumbled upon this restaurant for a delicious lunch today. My husband had the meatball sandwich and I made a roast beef sandwich on sourdough. Both to die for. Highly recommend. We also enjoyed the yummy bread pudding but now I am craving the banana pudding I saw in the case. lol. The staff was beyond helpful, very kind, and super patient as I looked over the menu for the first time. We will be back!
Walked into a busy time, didn’t mind it, there was an altercation between worker and customer, made it a bit awkward. Other than that, when deciding what to order the menu wasn’t the easiest to decipher, made ordering slightly more challenging. Menu could use an update with more simple design choices. Food was certainly appetizing and nothing short of great presentation, the portion was also nothing to scoff at. When it comes down to it, the meatball sub, was lacking seasoning. While having a gourmet feel to their sandwiches, I do feel like it was lacking a robust quality to making the flavor truly outstanding. Overall, will come back to try other sandwiches!
Truly can not say enough good things about this one. The food is excellent. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The decor is great. I tried the “Ham & Egg” which is a ham sandwich with egg salad. Never in my life have I thought to put these two things together, but it was delicious. The pasta salad was perfection. Had a huge oatmeal raisin cookie for dessert.
