| - Herb'n Twine lives up to the great reputation it is garnering. I had seen the super positive reviews on here, as well as had been given a recommendation from a friend, so I really wanted to try it. He said this was a truly great sandwich shop, like the ones he remembered from living in Seattle.
The décor is simple, almost stark, classic, and clean. No Cleveland kitsch, cartoons, or Boston ferns to clutter things up. Everything says - We take sandwiches seriously! And they do.
I had the Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich, and the Soup O'Day, Cincinnati Chili. The sandwich was packed with prime rib, as well as flavor. It was moist delicious, and clearly said that a chef made this. After my first bite I looked at the guy behind the counter with new respect.
I got the chili because I had just gotten back from a trip to Cincinnati, I am originally from Cincinnati, and I sometimes crave Cincinnati Chili. In Cincinnati their presentation would have been called a one-way, just the chili, no condiments, which I have actually never had before. A little shredded cheddar, and chopped onion would have gone a long way, but the seasonings, texture, and flavor were right on, and authentic.
Go to Herb'n Twine! Support it. We are fortunate to have such a great sandwichery in Ohio City. Three thumbs up.
