I ordered The Brando (their Italian sandwich) and it was fantastic. The Calabrian chili aioli completely made the sandwich, I'd never had it before and now I'm officially a fan. The place itself has a cool old school Italian deli feel with plaid tablecloths, and the staff told me they just opened in June 2025. I grabbed mine to go since I was working the convention center, but it looked like a cozy spot to sit down too. It's a little hidden, but totally worth seeking out. Definitely one of those spots I'll stop at again when I'm in the area.

Inside you order at the counter and they bring out your food. It was pretty empty when we got there and there is plenty of seating space. The staff were very helpful with ordering and offered suggestions when asked. I got the soup of the day and the Scorsese, Jeremy C got the Brando. These sandwiches were HUGE. I had a regular and I still had enough to save a little for later. Sandwich was hefty had a good chunk of meat and toppings and the flavors! *Chef's kiss*. Loved the food! Definitely worth it!

I went here for lunch and had a nice experience, overall. I have had bb.q Chicken food at a different location before but this was my first time at this location. It wasn't busy when we got here. We were seated promptly. We took our time in deciding a I could not decide between getting wings or 1/2 fried chicken. Finally, I decided to go with 1/2 fried chicken (8 pieces) since I hadn't had it before. The small order of wings also comes with eight pieces and is a couple of dollars less than the 1/2 fried chicken. The food was freshly prepared. The chicken was hot when it came out. My wife got a lunch special of 8 pieces boneless wings in honey garlic sauce which came with fries and a soft drink. I got my 1/2 fried chicken in Spicy Galbi sauce. My chicken was very flavorful. The sauce had a nice taste. It was a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a light kick of heat. One thing different with having this 1/2 fried chicken from the wings I had at a different bb.q Chicken was that the 1/2 fried chicken pieces were not as meaty as the wings. The boneless wings flavor was good as well. The food hit the spot. The service was satisfactory. Next time, I'll go back to having wings.

There is not any seating here. This is a spot where you grab your items and go. There are many returning customers here, staff members remembered names and orders. I was impressed and happy to see it! The gentleman that helped me was very kind. I had an egg bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese and OMGGGGGGGGGGGG. THIS PLACE SLAPSSSSSSS! The bagel was of perfect texture and portion. It was everything a bagel needs to be. The cream cheese was rich, flavorful and I was given a very generous portion.

The menu featured Korean and American food. I wanted wings but I had chicken twice the day before so I went with the Kicken Burger with bacon instead. It was $16 for a combo, which seems a little high but the time I spend in the area the more I learn it's about average. I got to watch them cook the burger patties on the flat top and then give them a nice char grill. It was huge, almost overpowered by all of the toppings. A big slice of grilled onion, a hunk of tomato, lettuce, bacon... I had to remove some of it to enjoy the burger. The burger itself was well seasoned and tasty with a grilled bun and good sauce. Yes, the sauce was kickin' it a little bit. It came with standard crinkle fries but they were crisp and there were lots of them. More than I could finish.

Food brought out on a timely fashion. I must have been the only one there for perhaps 20 minutes. No one ever came out and checked on me or offered a refill on my drink.

She usually orders something simple. I try to select different things on the menu when I'm there, but if I get anything more regularly, it would be their taco dinner. But I've had breakfasts and various lunches there. We've never been there for dinner. If you have not tried the Greenwood Grill, give it a try!
