I have to hand it to the owner because every customer that came in he let them know right up front while looking at the menu board that they were out of chili and soups. He said at the moment they are just a sandwich shop. He was so sweet and personable. My husband had the grinder and I had the toastie. We would both order the exact same thing again. My pulled pork was so tasty and I enjoyed the poblano avocado ranch on it. We will definitely be back as they have started soup flights. Can't wait to stop in this winter for that. It reminds me of eating in a deli shop nothing over the top but lots of seating.

But if you were open to just having a nice casual dinner in a retro easy place, this is it. My fiance and I went to meet up with some friends from out of town and from a list of places I wanted to try, they chose this one. Between the two of us, we spent about $60 for this meal, which I suppose now adays is on par with what you can get away with. We also left with half a sandwich because honestly, these guys are huge! -Hot Beef Sando with Cheese (extra): this was a massive sandwich, packed with flavor. The ah jus was on the side and needed for dunking. It hit the spot, was a messy affair, but was very good. The meat wasn't melt in your mouth, it was actually quite dry, but the mix of everything together and the dip made it good overall. - Chili Cup: well spiced, super small cup and charging a dollar for each addition of onion, cheese, and sour cream is murder. Pass on the fixings, the soup doesn't need it, but it's not something i'd get again as it wasn't knock out of the park good. -Homemade Orange Soda: this was great. I love the nostalgia of using Tang and it was more earthy because they put some spices in it. Overall, would get again. -Coleslaw was asian inspired and made well, especially with the mint on top. Be warned though, its the same slaw on the pulled chicken...which speaking of: -Pulled chicken sandwich: It's their meat americanized fusion version of a banh mi. I know they have a vegan one on their menu, but this one felt less like a sandwich. The spices weren't quite asian tho and was interesting with the slaw. I wouldn't say it was my favorite but I did eat a whole half. Happy nomming!

The turkey was a hot sandwich while the classic was a cold. The location itself is small, feels like a hole in the wall bar with great cozy vibes. We were lucky enough to bike over on a nice day and so we sat in the outdoor space which is also small but got the job done before we were back on our bikes with happy bellies. We will definitely be revisiting so we can try more of the menu!

This was the perfect place for supper on the way to Friday evening play at American Players Theater. We were greeted by friendly staff and by lively piano music! The homemade pizza with grilled onions, pesto, squash and walnuts was delicious. Nice to know we could have had wine and the dessert menu was very appealing. We will be back. read more

The Chilaquiles was $22 and it wasn't good, stale chips hardly any chicken & what was there was chewy. We have had this dish many places including in Mexico. We asked if the pancakes had any nuts due to an allergy and the waiter couldn't confirm, said maybe a little bit. The sausage links were weird & the hash browns were sweet. We asked for salsa and were given Chalula sauce. Staff was stand-offish, no one wanted to be bothered they were more active with call ins and delivery. Way too expensive & it wasn't good.

Another person started putting chairs up on tables. I'm thinking "wait, we're still eating. I don't want dust in my food." 2 tables left. Then the scrub bucket comes out. I felt we were rushed out. Your hours indicate you close at two. Most restaurants will still take orders up until 2 PM and allow customers time to eat comfortably. I have never been rushed out of a restaurant like this . You should advertise "we start cleaning at two so you better be out of here". We were disappointed.

I saw ductwork in the rafters; maybe the AC was not working? We went for Mother's Day brunch. It was probably not their best culinary showing, buffets usually aren't. I was not a fan of the Cheesy Hash Brown and Egg Casserole. It was the texture, not so much the taste. The French toast was a good mixture of cinnamon and sugar, but only if you could find the pieces that weren't dried out. I liked the bacon: salty, well cooked and crunchy. The flank steak was tender and tasty. Prepared to a perfect medium and marinaded in a nice meaty broth. The chicken in the Lemon Chicken Piccata was overcooked, dry, resulting in a tough chew. I did enjoy the Mushroom Strudel. A moist dish with a tasty gravy drizzle. I would've liked to try the bread pudding with caramel sauce, but they apparently ran out. The other desserts were ok. They looked like they were hastily cut into slices and served on the thinnest of paper plates. I could tell those running the place were also a bit frustrated; they made their feelings rather vocal, easy for all seated to hear (that's like a major rule of restauranting: the issues in the back should never be exposed in the front, where the customers can hear.) All in all, not a good first impression. But, I am willing to return and have a normal sit-down meal. Then I can see how they do. I have been told that their service and food is usually pretty solid. We shall see.....
