| - Finally got around to trying TLP! TLP is located on Elm street right beside barbarians. During the summer months, they have a cute patio right outside that extends onto the street.
I came on a Thursday right at lunch hour and there was only a handful of people waiting inside. The smell that greets you upon entering is mouthwatering! The menu here is small but its because they do the few things they have very well.
I opted for the calamari sandwich, which comes with cucumber relish, lemony mayo, tomato and of course, deep fried calamari. I got fries and a drink and the total came to about $15 with tax. Everything is prepared fresh right in front of you, no awkward counters to look over, its quite an open space so you can see them prepping your meal.
The sandwich itself was deeeelicious, the calamari nice and crispy and the mayo and relish making it really fresh feeling and not super heavy. Was not a fan of all the excess flower on the bun but that's just the style of bun they use (but its now landed everywhere on and around the area I was eating in). The fries left something to be desired. I'm generally not a fan of steak cut fries, wide and flat, but these were slightly undercooked and just didn't add anything to the meal. If they had been nice and crispy they would have been better. I think the fry guy was rushing to get these done and they came out of the fryer too soon.
Delicious sandwich, will definitely be back to try more. Wishing they had more options that had regular bacon instead of peameal. I'd avoid the fries, they're just not worth it and you can get better fries elsewhere.
