| - I went to 56W to meet up with a friend for lunch. I can't name anything I didn't like - GREAT food, great menu/selection, friendly, out-of-the-way service, very affordable prices, hip decor, what's not to love?
I had one of their famous gourmet burgers (about $9), a 'make your own' with good quality beef, great hearty fresh bakery bun, their house-made chipotle sauce, fresh avacado, and a side of sweet potato fries. The quality of the ingredients were great, the food was well prepared, and the food arrived quick and right from the kitchen.
My friend ordered their sandwich of the day, a Dr. Pepper infused open-face steak sandwich on the bakery roll with cheese and their house-made horseradish.
With two sandwiches and a fresh (and quickly refilled) cup of coffee, the bill came to only about $25 + tip.
The place is small (one Lakewood storefront for seating, and the adjoining storefront size for the kitchen etc.) so I could see the dining room filling up quickly during weekend dinner service...however there was absolutely no wait around 11:30a-12:30p on a weekday when we went and we could sit where we liked.
My only disappointment was the fact that the staff and other patrons didn't spontaneously break into dance as their short web video had advertised. I was really looking forward to that, despite my lack of skill.
I can't wait to come back, this is definitely one of Lakewood's hidden gems!
