| - I went on a Thursday towards the end of the lunch rush, and there was essentially no line up. I ordered the famous peameal bacon sandwich to see what all the hype was about. The stall was well staffed and it literally took less than a minute from placing my order to getting my sandwich.
For $6.45 (~$7.25 after tax), I was a little surprised to see how small the sandwich was. After finding a seat within the marketplace and inspecting the sandwich some more, the sandwich is essentially five pieces of peameal bacon in a bun; no condiments, no toppings. I'm not sure why I expected anything more - the sign even said "Peameal Bacon on a soft country bun"! Yet I couldn't help but feel like I was eating a warm, albeit juicer, ham sandwich.
With that said, the bread was soft and seemed fresh. The peameal bacon was tender, moist and warm, although it was slightly salty and progressively saltier further into the sandwich. I was impressed that the sandwich was still warm given that it was likely prepared in batches and wrapped in advance of the lunch rush.
Overall, while slightly overpriced, a good simple sandwich.
