| - I did not run into the other issues the first reviewer had, however I know this place is new so maybe they were still getting some new folks trained. I think they have the kinks worked out now however. I also met the owners on my first visit, and they are nice folks. They took a few minutes to discuss their menu and their ingredients, which I think shows they are the real deal, and they take a personal interest in the quality of their product. I am tired of the large chains for the most part, so it is nice to have another option when I need to make a lunch run.
The name "Hookmeup" is weird (I have a hard time remembering it), and the menu is a bit daunting (there are many sandwiches to choose from). But I can get past those if the food is good, and it is.
So far I have tired the ruben and the french dip which were both very good. The french dip was one of the best I've had in a while, lean and the french roll was just right. The ruben was a double deck sandwich which is not what I am used to with rubens, but it was also lean and tender (not overcooked or too thick), another one I will be getting again. I also tried their bison chili which was good with some spiciness to it. Finally, I tried their corn chowder which had a good flavor, but was not a thick soup like I prefer - I'd still probably get that again.
I also really like the jalapeno chips they sell, they are Metro Deli brand Jalapeno Cheddar kettle cooked chips. I'm gonna have to find them in a bigger bag in the store.
I am gonna make this part of my weekly lunch rotation.
