My boyfriend is a New York native and since
I've never been to the East Coast I live vicariously through his foodie stories. Occasionally we find an authentic spot and I get a glimpse into what his normal food adventures used to be. When we found Outta Bronx and saw that it was rated nearly 5 stars we were really pumped to try it out.
We ordered a hot chick sandwich, a small macaroni salad and the cowboy sandwich to go. We decided to keep our orders simple, because we were expecting some massive NY style sandwiches and didn't want to overdo it. What we received was mediocre at best. The hot chick was alright, but the chicken had a fishy taste. I'm assuming that is due to using the same frying oil for their shrimp. The cowboy tasted more like a Philly cheesesteak with BBQ sauce and some bacon. I didn't end up getting the macaroni salad, but rather they gave me a potato salad which was good... nothing too spectacular and not what I ordered. All in all, we didn't get the authentic NY style sandwiches we were anticipating.
Maybe we went in with our expectations set too high, but either way we were left with something to be desired. In short the sandwiches were alright, but nothing to write home about. Honestly, the sandwiches were something I could see Subway, Quiznos or Togos putting out. The prices were a little high for what we received and I don't foresee us going out of our way again to return anytime soon.
