| - So glad we came. This is exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Max A for tipping me off.
This is a small neighborhood sandwich shop, but don't expect much ambiance. The outside is hardly noticeable, located in a dying strip mall with a view of General Dynamics.
According to Kayla, our delightfully chatty waitress, business is good, getting better, hiring more help. The owner (and genius chef) is seriously thinking of bringing up his bbq truck from Safford to work it in the parking lot. Imagine the great smells! Ohhhh, you lucky locals.
So many choices, all with clever twists to make them something not so ordinary.
To get us started, we had the small side (enough for 1-2) of thick homemade hummus (garlicky with a nice touch of cumin). I love a good hummus but so many are overrated. Not so here. $2 buys you a platter of toasted pita wedges and a small cup of homemade hummus with a drizzle of a spicy sweet sauce called prickly heat. It was not super spicy, and I quickly knew this could possibly be love at first bite. It was. Get the big one next time!
The grilled cheese had two kinds of cheese, great bread, generous slices of avocado, tomato, and an amazing pesto aioli that makes it so unique. Wonderful flavors, not your normal grilled cheese by any sense.
The Sweet Curry Chicken sandwich. Enhanced with mayo, curry, raisins, lettuce and tomato. A very happy sandwich. Irresistible.
Each sandwich came with a choice of house made salad (we chose potato salad and pasta salad...yummy), or chips.
And I would order all of these again. I really enjoyed our meal. Very much.
Prices are wonderful. The menu intriguing. The interior clean and neat. The staff friendly and attentive. The food excellent and fresh.
They only do breakfast sandwiches and lunch, and close by 4 (except Sunday they close by 3). Definitely a keeper. Definitely a place to stop. It needs your love to keep it going, and if you dare to give it a try, I am warning you, you just may get hooked.
This is serious stuff. So get moving folks.
