Great little spot for a lox bialy and a latte…read more We got: -Potato blintz (not very flavorful but it went okay) -lox bialy (dill and scallion schmear, goood nova lox, red onion, cucumber, capers, tomato, sweet pepper relish and dill. served on an everything bialy.

As a Michelin guide restaurant, Potchke has earned the right to "mess around in the kitchen", as…read morethey say. However, I wonder about the hype. Haven't had pastrami in a while so I had to order the Pastrami Reuben and the presentation was great with how it was stacked! Between the sauce and the sauerkraut the flavors were all good and I enjoyed the taste of the pastrami when I found it, but the bread to meat ratio was so high I mostly tasted the burned crust of the bread and very few bites of pastrami. It was one slice of pastrami, not a thin slice but not what you hope for when you bite into true Jewish deli pastrami, which are normally bursting at the seems with meat. Marble rye is hard not to burn and they did a good job for the most part, but I tasted more crust than I did pastrami, and for $18 I wonder if this sandwich was more a charge for the hype. The blintzes were also smaller than one would expect of a blintz but I absolutely loved the compote on top.

I got a super large salad that left me full by the end of it that came with a small crostini (not much bread, but it got the job done). It's definitely not a discount spot, but it was a good mid priced quicker dinner! The ambiance was a little funky-- it was basically empty, but that also is likely because we ate an earlier dinner. Our server was attentive (a little new, but attentive) and we couldn't really have asked for better service. Decent is the experience.

However, the bagel itself was really nice and fluffy. My mom got the everything bagel with a cream cheese smear and that was 10x better, I definitely recommend the bagel with a smear over the sandwich. Outside there's nothing much as it's just a window but that adds to the charm, also remedy coffee is next door so a nice little place for a coffee/bagel duo.

Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!

I built my own pizza, she was a bit confused on what I wanted when I ordered it, but she understood completely! I can't be more happy with the perfect heaping amount of pesto and tomato sauce on top! They surely didn't skimp out and I loved it!! My partner says it's the best crust he's ever had! I personally enjoy the dough a lot but prefer a bit more of firmness and crisp to the dough while the tomato heads is a bit more on the soft side. Still amazing nonetheless Highly recommend and will be back soon!!
