It did not disappoint! The vibe is super casual and welcoming--perfect for a laid-back lunch or a quick takeout. They have a convenient parking lot right in front, which is a huge plus in this area. The shop is clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and upbeat. What we ordered: * ​Gyro Sandwich: The classic lamb and beef combo. The pita was warm and soft, and the tzatziki with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes made it so refreshing. * Arabic Lamb & Beef Shawarma: My husband went for this one. It's a massive 12" toasted tortilla wrap with garlic and tahini sauce. Hearty, flavorful, and hit the spot. * Greek Fries: YOU MUST ORDER THESE. They are topped with mixed spices, garlic sauce, and feta cheese. The garlic is bold and totally addictive. I couldn't stop eating them! Generous portions, amazing flavors, and great service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the neighborhood!

The decor is simple but charming, and since the weather was nice, we ended up seating outside. Parking is limited, so depending on the time of the day you may need to circle around a little, but it wasn't too bad. The sandwiches and drinks (beers!) were really solid, and I appreciated that they had vegetarian-friendly options too. Service was quick, friendly, and made the whole experience feel easy.

My order was ready at the time that was specified (also received a text when it was done) and according to what I read, they keep your food on a warmer while they wait for you to pick it up. How nice! $20 for a sandwich seems pricey, but let me tell you, they definitely make a MEAN sandwich! The Mean - THICK pieces of juicy corned beef with housemade mustard, pickled red cabbage and mint. The cross section of the sandwich looks insane! The combination of flavors is excellent. The Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy - Deep-fried Hama Hama yysters with housemade remoulade and lemon-pepper mayo. I loved this. The oysteres were nicely fried with not too much batter. You could really taste the oyster and appreciate the texture. The French roll was also very nice. It was similar to a Vietnamese Banh Mi roll. Soft, but with a light crispness on the outside. Fully Loaded Skins & Ins - Skins & Ins are basically a mixture of fried potato skins and potato chunks so you get a variety of texture: thin and crispy, or soft and meaty. The fully loaded option adds toppings similar to that of a loaded baked potato (white sauce, spices, scallions, and super crunchy bacon bits). This was a nice change from having the usual chips or fries with a sandwich. Parking can be somewhat of a challenge in this area, but if you're able to make it over then I think it's worth visiting.

This small shop in Ballard is somewhere you likely wouldn't stumble upon, but it is definitely worth seeking out. The shop itself is fairly small with a few booths, some window seating, and a few tables. We ordered our food to go, but there were a few spots open so we could have dined in had we preferred. The owner of the shop was there and help share about the menu. You can tell he is passionate about his restaurant and he answered all our questions. We even got to talking to him about some of his books he has in the shop that are different sandwich books and he was so knowledgeable on them, the chefs and more. We tried 3 different sandwiches - the steak tartar, the mean (corned beef) and the wtk (fried chicken). All three were a wonderful combinations of ingredients you would not see on an average sandwich shop menu and all three were delightful. In addition to the sandwiches, they come with potatoes which were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside (aka. cooked to perfection.) We upgraded one of our potatoes to the loaded version and to no surprise it was also amazing. It runs on the slightly more expensive side for sandwiches, but for the quantity and quality you get it is worth it!

A 10 top joint, this place is small, however there is a patio outside that also shares with another restaurant so that during the summer addition seating is available. We walked up to the counter and were pleasantly greeted by a young lady who took our order. My father ordered a bacon cheeseburger and I ordered the pastrami burger which was a cheeseburger with pastrami also on it. We also ordered onion rings and the Greek fries to share. We both had chocolate shakes. The food came out quickly, probably 10 mins or so. The shakes are hand done and mixed to order. DELICIOUS! Both of our burgers were juicy and delicious. All burgers have lettuce, onion, pickle and tomato. Several versions of burgers, sandwiches and salads available. The rings were to me perfect, well cooked and great breading. The Greek fries were also delicious, however, HEAVY GARLIC. Just be aware that your Vampire boyfriend will be repelled for hours!! I look forward to trying some of their other options the next time.

It was too bad the watery salsa was hard to dip or scoop onto the chips. For drinks, the margarita leaned much more on the sweet side and couldn't taste the tequila at all, which might be a plus for some, but not exactly what I was hoping for. The michelada, on the other hand, was good, but I added more spicy sauce to it for my own preference. As for entrees, the wire steak was delicious. It was flavorful and came with melted cheese on top and a side of tortillas. The beef was marinated in soy sauce, and the seasoning was spot on. The beef fajitas came in much bigger cuts of meat than the wire steak dish, and to me, they didn't have as much flavor so I added salt to it. Sides were rice, beans, a little shredded lettuce, and a bit of guac, which were overall less generous than other spots I've been to. Service was friendly and efficient, but we were seated next to a big family who was celebrating something over FaceTime with music blasting from their phone the entire time. It seemed like the staff was okay with it, and it made it hard to enjoy the meal.
