Fried chicken fried rice is pretty good.

Ordered through doordash for lunch cause I was feeling lazy. Got the Italian and it was great, as were the homemade bbq chips it came with. It held up well on the delivery trip too. Where I grew up in Boston a specific style of Italian sub was fairly popular and it's hard to get a good one out here, and this one reminded me of them and really hit the spot so I'm glad I found this place. I'm curious to try the pastrami and some of the other sandwiches next.

They only have four kinds of drinks, good coffee, good cold brew, but you cannot expect more than that. The place is clean and nice. I took out 2 stars because they closed the door connect to the library (maybe to limit students sitting here) and they also close the toilet, which I found very inconvenient as I need to walk outside, through another library door to get to the restroom inside the library. I understand they need to monetize all the sitting space, but this is aggressive and very unwelcoming.

I really enjoyed this place. I got the pastrami sandwich. It was really good, had a lot of meat, very flavorful. It was a bit heavy on the mustard and the chips on the side didn't have any salt but it was a good balance when eaten together. I'd eat here again.

The Shop by Chef Baca is truly a local gem! When I dropped in I was luckily enough to chat with one of the owners, Madelyn, and she was so nice and helpful in ordering. Their menu is long and all of their meats are done in-house, meaning I can’t wait to try everything!I got The Shop Pastrami which was different than most pastrami’s I’ve had; the flavors were well balanced, all of the fixings made for an amazing sandwich! And the homemade bbq chips that come with it are divine!I’m luckily enough to work in the same building as The Shop and can’t wait to try more items - more pictures to come!

They provide tasty food & good service???

I found our food excellent and highly recommend this place. If you are a vegetarian, just let them know and they can adapt their menu items!

Madelyn and Rodney do a fantastic job at what they do. Their food is to die for and they are so welcoming. Anything you order is going to taste amazing. I've had their Eastside burger and that was the best burger I've had in a very long time. They also cater as well and do an extraordinary job.

I first came here when they opened due to my work and I have really enjoyed the food. The Baca burger is so juicy to the point where it oozes goodness and the vegetables used tasted fresh. The truffle Mac is insanely good and the fries are chonky. If you have some room to spare get the creme brûlée it’s very delicious and made in house.

Amazing hamburgers - I highly recommend them. I'll be back for sure to try the other items off their menu.

Love this American spot. Their Southside Burger & Mary’s Organic Fried Chicken Cobb salad are both DAMN GOOD. I got takeout from them & everything went very smoothly. The staff working were easy going & friendly. They seemed happy to be working, which is always good to see! I’ll definitely be back soon to try more of their delicious food options.

This spot is worth a visit. They serve big portions for reasonable prices. Always neat and with excellent mood. Will come visit again.
