| - I saw this place featured in one of the Yelp weekly emails and I knew I had to try it right away! They are only open until 3pm and only during the week, but luckily I was only working half a day so I could run over and grab a variety of goods off the menu.
I was waited on by one of the owners and he was so patient with me while I figured out what to order. I LOVE that they let you get half sandwiches without charging you extra, it's no big deal to them and they actually wish more people would do that so they could try more off the menu. Also, they don't mind a little customization so if you want to add garlic mayo or swap out grilled mushrooms for grilled zucchini on your sandwich no problem! I went with four halves (two total sandwiches), an order of homemade chips and a side of coleslaw.
While I waited for my order to be ready I perused about the store and saw that they offer a variety of wine, craft beer, cigars, chips, coffee, and sodas. To me it seemed like a great place to pick up quality items for a tasty lunch without encountering things like Miller Light or Lay's Potato Chips. I also noticed that I had just walked in before a rush! This place gets pretty busy but staff stays calm and friendly which makes you chill out too even with 15 people standing around you in a small space.
When my order was ready I paid a reasonable price and was surprised to have four cookies from a local place thrown into my bag. Hells yeah!
Now time for the food:
No meager fillings for these sandwiches! While all were good, my favorite was probably the The Philly. Just hearty messy no frills goodness. The Gobbler was similar but had a kick to it, there had to have been some hot peppers in there! Cajun Redfish had a great crust and flavor while the Apple Porkling was good even eaten cold the next day. My order of homemade chips and dip was huge and I had to break that up into a couple meals as well. It was nice to have some crunch to go along with the sandwiches. The coleslaw was lackluster, but still fine for a topping on some of the sandwiches. The cookies, oh man there was this oatmeal apple one, this chocolate and nut one, oatmeal raisin and this one with toffee or caramel? I had a bite of each but my favorite was the chocolate and nut one, just soft and delicious.
All in all my first visit here was a success! I am bummed about the hours though, I'm not really able to stop in again unless I have time off from work. So go in my Yelp friends and eat up the sandwiches for me!
