"\"Heyyyyyy\"....\"Heyyy heyy heyyyy\"....\n\nThe sounds are heard loud and clear... walking down College St. at any time of day..passing by serious \"gentlemen/grandpa's\" hanging outside of their fav \"sports bar\"...I cringe...but soon I join in...\"HEYYYY\"....\"HEYY HEYYYY HEYYYY\".....\"HEYYYY MEATBALL!\"...\n\nOne word: Homemade Ginger Soda.\n\nIf you go to Hey Meatball, order the soda. I don't care if you aren't thirsty. Neither will you. Order it. You're life will be changed.\n\nI went to Hey Meatball with my friend Kent P. He had been there once prior but we were looking for a quick and delish lunch spot along the College St strip and decided on this gem. Cute spot. Clean. Cafeteria seating in the middle and a few small tables next to the windows. This place is a dream destination for the indecisive (i know from experience)....there were three options on the menu, all of which included meatballs. There was no going wrong here. I ordered the meatball on ciabatta sandwich with a side salad. Kent also ordered the sandwich and salad...but with the Italian Wedding soup to start. To be honest, I thought he was crazy...wasting stomach space on soup when we were about to be given what I assumed, correctly, would be the best meatball sandwich there ever was. Turns out...he made a good move...order the soup too, grab a handful of napkins and just stuff all of that delicious goodness in your mouth. Ciabatta bread was fresh, meatballs were juicy and perfectly spiced...and Rodney the owner made sure to add some love in the form of a personalized pouring of olive oil onto the bread. mmmmmmmm. salad was also great. light vinegarette. delightful. \n\nAll in all...my bill was around $16 which was a bit pricy for lunch but worth it for quality meatballs (three big ones) and a kick ass ginger soda. \n\nMoral of story. Check it out with some friends or go alone. Staff are friendly. Brown bag your lunch the day before to avoid the \"i just paid too much for lunch feeling\". HEYYYYYYY...meatball. I have a food crush."^^ .
