| - I came here because I kept hearing people rave about this place, but after going, I wondered, "why the hype??" After eating there, I feel like a sack of lard. Completely greasy, heavy, and gross.
I ordered the pierogies as an appetizer: The cabbage was good. The (2) pierogies were ok but weren't super flavorful.
We asked our server for suggestions for sandwiches, and he was really nice, explaining in detail which ones were good with which modifications. I don't think I've ever really understood the concept of a calling something a grilled cheese when there's a ton of other stuff on it. The sandwiches are basically thick buttered pieces of bread with cheese (the grilled cheese part) - plus other fillings inside... But those other fillings basically convert the dish into a greasy sandwich with cheese in it.
I got the Chorizo & Potato sandwich w/fried egg on it (on recommendation), which was ok, but maybe too big, a little soggy past the top piece of bread, and again, not full on flavor. My friend got the Big Popper w/bacon, which was all pretty amazing on first bite, especially with the fruit sauce and funnel cake-like bread w/powdered sugar on it, but after that, it felt like I was just clogging my arteries every time I took a bite. This sandwich was probably one of the more unique items on the menu though.
The fries that come with the sandwiches were really heavy and most of them were fairly soggy.
In all, good service, some interesting sandwich concepts, and large amounts of food (definitely big/dense enough to split 1 plate between 2 people). If I were ever to come back, I would probably just get an appetizer and maybe split a salad. Despite it being what they're famous for, I could do without the sandwiches.
