The meat to cheese to topping ratio is perfect, keeping the sandwich moist and complex while still letting you experience everything you're eating.

The Gandalfini was also perfectly balanced with roast beef, caramelized onions, and fontina. This is my new favorite place to pick up lunch. Be aware that this is strictly a take out place.

Not only is the…read morecustomer service fantastic (very attentive, willing to check in on you, knowledgeable staff, etc), they have a nice variety of liquor and wines that are easy to find in the shop based on region. Additionally, they sell limes and lemons at the register which if you've ever had a few friends over for drinks, you tend to prioritize the alcohol and forget the limes/lemons. It's always a duh moment for me but because they have them right at the register, it's easy to remember. What I think I like most about The Wine Source is how honest staff are about their thoughts on different wines. If they don't like it, they'll tell you and have enough knowledge to even recommend something based on your tastes. Lot parking can be a little scarce sometimes but that's really out of their control and usually street parking is easy to find in the area. In short, would highly recommend! My friend (who's the wine guy for sure) loves it here and says it's one of the best wine spots in Baltimore to him. P.S. They also sell some food in the shop which I haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's good!

The place is basically an institution at Hopkins, and you come here for one thing and one thing only: a little hoagie called the steak egg and cheese with 2 hashbrowns inside. Maybe I'm a little biased, but I have yet to find a hoagie anywhere that is as satisfying whether I'm sober or drunk. No joke, one of the main reasons that I'm tempted to attend the annual JHU Alumni Weekend is the prospect of being able to go to to Uni Mini for some steak egg and cheese, and there are seriously some days that I fantasize about hopping on a plane to Baltimore just to get myself one.

I was a bit confused with how to order the first time I went since it was my first time at a Potbelly and I felt like the staff were a little rude and annoyed.

My go-to is the Veggie Melt with added lettuce, onion, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and garlic aioli.

Kimchi-brined fried catfish, remoulade, capers, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a sub roll -- it immediately reminded me of Mandina's on Canal Street in NOLA.

Fresh heirloom tomatoes, arugula, sprouts, herbed avocado mayo on wheat -- simple and done right. Chuck's has that perfect Hampden energy: unpretentious, a little quirky, genuinely good food. The counter seating where you watch everything made to order is a nice touch. Grab something from the bodega side on your way out. Show up Tuesday for the po'boy lunch special. You won't regret it.

Let me start this off by saying that I am an avid meat eater. Burgers and fries are always gold in my book. There's a Subway right up the street, so for the first couple months that I was in the area, I'd get a five dollar footlong for lunch. My goodness, was I settling. Tomato Basil Mozarella. You would not even believe how that sandwich can pleasure your taste buds. It's really the only sandwich I get (although I don't hesitate to steal bites of other people's). While the place is called "Soup's On", I do find some of their varieties of soup to be a bit meh. "Low sodium" is more like a euphemism for "You might have to salt and pepper the sh*t out of some of these flavors". The consistency can be a little thin for my liking... but on the other hand for $6 a pint and the guarantee that you're not putting any artificial grossness into your tummy, can you really complain? I think not. Now, let's move onto the desserts. As I'm typing this, I'm devouring a generously sized portion of rice pudding with apricot. It's wonderful, it tastes so fresh, and it's not overly sweetened or spiced. I really could eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A few weeks ago I got the chocolate mousse, and I could only finish a few bites in one sitting because it was THAT chocolatey. It was really good though, if you're an avid chocolate lover. The atmosphere's relaxed, the guy behind the counter is always upbeat and swift, and I rarely go anywhere else for lunch if I'm eating out in the neighborhood. read more

The portions were very small, the food was overcooked, and the fish sandwich barely had what I would consider a full piece of fish on it. The seafood salad was also disappointing because it tasted like imitation seafood rather than the quality I expected. I have eaten at many soul food restaurants and have had much better food, larger portions, and better value elsewhere. For the amount customers are paying, the quality and quantity should be much better. I would not order from here again or recommend it based on this experience. I hope the owners and staff take reviews like this seriously and make improvements, because customers are spending their money and trusting the restaurant to provide food that is satisfying and worth the price.

I really appreciated her vibe, and I noticed that when food is ready, she actually comes out from behind the counter to hand-deliver it to customers. That kind of small gesture goes a long way. The place is mostly carry-out, but there are a few bar-style seats if you want to eat there. The menu isn't your typical fast food lineup either, they've got some creative, non-traditional options that definitely stand out. We tried the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak, Fried Chicken Sandwich, 1908 Chicken Cheesesteak, and Fish Tacos, and they were all delicious. Seriously, everything was seasoned well and packed with flavor, with the exception of our fries, which isn't the end of the world. The jerk cheesesteak had a nice kick without being too spicy, and the fried chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch. For drinks, we had the Strawberry Lemonade and the Peach Half & Half, both were refreshing and hit that perfect sweet spot without being too sugary. Overall, Café 1908 has a cool vibe, great food, and friendly service. It's one of those hidden gems you're glad you stumbled across.
