| - I have been eyeing this sandwich shop for almost a year now and finally made my way in for lunch. It was definitely not what I expected, and in a good way!
First, when you walk in you immediately step back in time, surrounded by 70s novelty items and memorabilia like roller skates, rotary phones, and a color palette that mimics the set of That 70's Show. There is ongoing 70s music playing in the background, which totally sets the vibe! There are community board games up for grabs, some of my favorites like Battleship, Guess Who, and Life.
Then there's the food-mainly sandwiches, which the grilled cheese was unconventional with cream cheese and jalapenos in the mix, but tasty after my taste buds adjusted after the first bite. The sprang chicken sandwich was so-so, I think it needed more mayo? The pretzel bread with beer cheese was good, but I felt the consistency of the cheese was watery. The soda fountain is one of those fancy touch screen self serves, which is always nice for refills. The menu also featured unlimited French toast and $3 mimosas on Sundays. And here is the kicker for the grown folks--you can order a beer at this sandwich shop!
The staff was very friendly, greeted us as soon as we came in and walked us through their set up (order first, pay, sit down with your table number). Quick service with our meals and bussing our table. I'm always a fan of good customer service!
The chain originated in Utah and is spreading along the West Coast. I definitely appreciate the concept and the atmosphere is groovy and chill. It is one of a kind when it comes to sandwich shops. If you love places like Cheba Hut, or Mellow Mushroom, then this place will intrigue you and make you wish you grew up in the 70s. I will definitely be back to sample more of the menu and I'm excited to try the Sunday brunch specials. Peace out!
