1/2 of the fig and pig
Amanda E.

My husband and I split two 8" subs - the chicken Caesar and fig and pig. The chicken Caesar was delicious. From the garlic crust on the chicken, to the large cut of chicken breast, to the Caesar dressing, everything just went together. Our only complaint is the bread was a little tough/almost too thick. But it was still delicious and we gave it a 8/10 and 7.8/10, respectively. I personally was not a fan of the fig and pig because of the Gorgonzola cheese sauce - it's very strong and I didn't realize Gorgonzola is reminiscent of blue cheese. But my husband liked this one and gave it a 7/10. We also felt everything was reasonably priced, it came to about $37 for two subs and two bags of chips. We'll definitely be back to try more subs!

TLDR; sandwiches are HUGE and delicious! Great place for takeout. Vibes: the restaurant is small and quaint. You can order ahead or at the counter and there are several barstools along the window for sitting. Food: If you're worried about the portion or price of the sandwich - DONT BE! They're MUCH bigger than you're probably imagining! The half sandwich is $14-$16 and comes with a bag of chips. The portion is so generous, I think it's well worth the price. My husband and I ordered two half sandwiches to share. We had enough for lunch and dinner. Here's what we got: The Ceasar: crispy chicken + all of the makings and flavor you'd expect from a Ceasar salad. DELICIOUS! Next time I'll ask for a little more Ceasar dressing. The Tuscan: very saucy and flavorful! We both enjoyed the sandwich but felt it was missing something. We'll definitely get it again but will add a cheese next time! I didn't see this online but in store there's an option to build your own. Looking forward to trying that!

I didn't think sandwiches could be SO good. We ate them 2 days ago and I'm still drooling. They weren't kidding - these sandwiches are absolutely massive and overflowing. They're meant to be shared or eaten over multiple meals so they are priced accordingly. I appreciate that they listened to customer feedback and added half sizes (8 inches). I can't imagine how large the whole 15 inch sandwich is. We tried the Tuscan and classic Italian with a side of lemon aioli. The Tuscan was very saucy and flavorful. The Italian felt like it had 3 lbs of deli meats and we had meat sweats after only eating half of the half size. The lemon aioli was a nice addition and they provide a reasonable amount for 75 cents. I'm usually cautious about toasted baguettes because they can cut the roof of your mouth but these were actually quite fluffy. All sandwiches come with chips, which were a small 1 oz bags of Utz chips. Kettle chips would match the quality of their food more. This is mainly a take-out spot. They have a handful of bar seating facing the windows but it can easily be crowded inside. There is very limited waiting space so I'd recommend calling your order in ahead of time. They don't seem to have a website yet. I found their menu on their social media. They also have pasta salad and some desserts.

If this place has one fan, it's me. If this place has no fans, I'm dead. Legitimately one of the most delicious sandwiches I have ever had in my life - not trying to be dramatic or hyperbolic either. It is amazing what these guys have put together. Every single sandwich recipe is unique - something you quite literally cannot find anywhere else. They put their own unique spin on most everything - and then blow it up into a generously sized hoagie that's enough for like four meals! Seriously - you get your money's worth here and then some. It's hard to say which is our favorite - but if I had to choose one, the chicken caesar is TO DIE FOR. Or the Fried Chokes. Both just incredible bursts of flavor with just the right amount of veggie to balance out the fried goodness alongside it. Awesome ambiance when you walk in - gives off the vibe of a neighborhood sandwich shop. When you walk in, it feels like they know you - or at least care about you. Super approachable staff, detailed menu, and some cool colorful merch too. Plus its walkable to our new place in Church Hill so what is there not to love?!?! Legitimately so impressed with everything here - opened right on time with us moving to the neighborhood, it's almost as if they knew we were coming!

Let's talk about these sandwiches. I'm almost positive one bite and all your sins will be forgiven. I've tried their subs 3 times now and they do NOT disappoint. It's a fully packed toasted baguette with fresh ingredients. The marinated sliced pork loin, banana peppers relish and the horseradish aioli , that flavor is delicious. There are no grocery store deli meats here, it's chicken cutlets, marinated pork and flank steak, ham, pepperoni, prosciutto - high quality meats. You get what you PAY for people - $15-16 for a half sub, little pricey but one bite and you will be so happy with your purchase. Each time I have visited, there has been a 20-30 minute wait so please do not get restless , waiting for your delicious sub. The flavors of the meats topped with the dressings are absolutely fantastic. Well done Chimbo! Welcome to the neighborhood & make yourself at home.

Huge sandwich!

I love this place! The service is excellent and this sandwich has become my favorite.

Great place! Staff is great and cute. Service was fast, even when busy. Small space inside, so not a ton of seating (few stools at the window counter, cute vibe!) but great to take out. The sandwiches are fantastic!!!!!! No matter what you get it's delicious. Will definitely be back.

Fig and Pig

Excellent sandwiches! We stopped in here in a food tour and sampled the Tuscan chicken sandwich. It was so good that we came back the next day and got the full sandwich along with the fig and pig. Yummy! Great service and vibes!

Grabbed sandwiches from here after a long day of travel. They were delicious. The secret star of the show was the banana pudding!

I had been wanting to try Fat Kid Sandwiches for a long while -- from back when they would do…read morepop-ups at Veil -- but the timing had never worked out. Earlier in the month, I was finally able to check them out for the first time. I had my eye on their Italian hoagie, which is listed under the Cold section, but I know better at this point in time of living in the South and the many Italian hoagies that I have had to refrigerate. So I ordered it without the tomato or peppers and served cold. I ordered it through the bartender, who told me that they do serve them cold and that they were out of peppers that day. Turns out they were not out of peppers and they did not serve it cold. I can't eat peppers due to food sensitivities, so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-made. This was the bartender's mistake, from the receipt I could see that he didn't send those notes to Fat Kid, to be clear. The second rendition was made correctly, and it was definitely tasty, but they are overpriced. It's pretty obvious from my picture that this wasn't some hefty, super stuffed and loaded with meats/cheese hoagie. It looks like a normal 6" hoagie. Not worth $11 for it, in my opinion. I'd rather spend $16 at Stanley's or $10 for a full-size at Mr. Submarine.

The BEST Italian in RVA hands down. I'm so sad that Hatch has now closed but I'm so excited to see…read morewhat fat kid sandwiches does next!!

The best part is they cater to the lactose…read moreintolerant folks and vegans too with really delicious ingredients that don't feel like lame substitutes. My fiancé and I live nearby and love coming here for a unique grilled cheese. They have everything from a classic sandwich to a decadent magical sandwich. The sandwiches here are made with love. I adore the woman who we usually run into when we come. She usually is the one who makes our sandwiches and I love how she writes something sweet on the box. These are delicious and big sandwiches. I always leave feeling full and sometimes even have leftovers. I love that the sandwiches come with a mini tomato basil soup for dipping. I highly recommend getting a sandwich with the focaccia, it's beyond delicious. My recent favorite is the Duval Sisters with plant based cheese and rosemary focaccia. Billie's Holiday is another favorite. It is more of a takeout vibe, but they do have two tables outside in front with four chairs if you want to eat there. You're also not too far from Clay Park or a picnic bench parklet in front of Art 180 (about 8 minute walk away). This local gem has soups, breakfast biscuits, grilled cheeses, plant-based options, dessert, and more. I highly recommend getting a sandwich from here ASAP.

Awesomeness totally ..!!!…read more People have good service grapefruit a great Keylime pie I give this whole menu 100% thank you for your time and availability and your service

Celiac- Gluten-free Review…read more I was hype to try Oak & Apple because they have wings, howeverrrr they do not have a dedicated fryer- the wings are smoked and then typically deep fried. I was told that they could grill them for me. I was set to order 10 wings, but was wary of how the texture would be if they were grilled so scaled down to 5. The texture of the skin on the outside was rubbery as I anticipated, but, if this makes sense, I could tell that if they had been fried they would have been A1. The overall flavor and the texture beyond the skin was so good. Wouldn't order them again, but if you can have the wings fried, I say that's a solid choice. Thanks for accommodating me anyhow, I do appreciate the effort. I also got a side of the tea braised collards, which surprised me. Have never had collards prepared that way and I did enjoy the flavor. They were also very clean, and if you've ever had collards that haven't been washed properly, you know how off-putting it is to catch stray pieces of dirt in your teeth. What really fell flat for me were the BBQ nachos. Queso, pulled pork, burnt end beans...couldn't tell where one flavor started and the next one ended. Overall very bland, which was disappointing because it just felt so uninspired. Was expecting more smoke, especially from the burnt end baked beans. And if I'm not getting excited about flavor from your pulled pork or burnt end beans, I'm going to assume that it's going to be the same for the brisket, chicken, and ribs. What stands out for me here- if you're into cider, they've got really good choices on tap, and rotate about ten different types. That's unheard of just about anywhere. I also experienced nothing short of top-tier service, and the people who work the bar are friendly and personable. It's really easy to chat with other patrons seated at the bar as well, I felt like a regular and could have sat there for hours. Even the regulars coming in to grab to-go orders struck up conversations while they were waiting. It feels like a third place with its chill atmosphere and easy vibes. Even with the food not being my favorite, I could easily see myself sliding into a spot at the bar regularly just to hang out and have a few drinks. Also do appreciate the inclusion of gluten-free/gluten-free options, even if I'm not a huge fan. So this is a solid 3.5 stars for me- rounded down since Yelp won't let us do half stars.
