ALERT! ***********HIDDEN GEM********DISCOVERED!**************
This casual place has just opened and may be still in the tweaking stage but if you want the tastiest roast beef sandwich in town HERE IT IS!
The Signature Sandwich here is what they call a "Beef on Weck" that are normally only served in Buffalo N.Y. Technically it's not 100% truly a beef on weck due to a few small picky details but it's close enough for me and is one of the most delicious sandwiches in town. (beef on weck is hand sliced rare roast beef topped with horseradish and the bottom of the top weck bun is dipped in the au jus)
What makes this sandwich unique is the hard substantial roll that's topped with caraway seeds and kosher salt called a Kummel Weck Roll. They give you a BIG PILE of delicious great tasting roast beef, horseradish on the side and your sandwich is dripping with lots of tasty au jus. Your BIG MEATY Sandwich also comes with a side. We both had the delicious beef on weck sandwiches and shared the house made onion rings and the house made potato salad. Onion rings were ok and the eggy potato salad was very fresh tasting but a little on the bland side.
I dropped them a star for the wings. While they weren't bad at all they just were edible. They might be still tinkering with the wing recipe.
This is a casual eatery. You order at the counter, seat yourself and they run the food out to you.
They serve mostly just a few varieties of sandwiches.
Beef on Weck, hamburgers, Buffalo made hot dogs, meatballs, local Peoria made sausage, coal cooked chicken, Italian sandwiches.
Portions are very large and prices are very low
