In a word, overpriced. I hadn’t stopped by in at least a couple of years; the food was memorably tasty at the time, so naturally I was excited to try it again. I also recalled that they were active in hosting community outreach events, which was another draw. I ordered a panzanella salad and a couple of other items to go. When they handed me two small boxes, I wondered how it could be worth nearly $50. I did notice at the register that a 18% gratuity was automatically included (yes, even on to-go orders). Say what you will about tipping culture, but I find this absurd - especially since the food is expensive to begin with! The panzanella salad, while flavorful with a nice punch of spice, did not meet expectations. I have included a picture of the salad; that is all they gave me for my $16, I had yet to take a bite when I took the picture. Not only did the amount of food not meet expectations, but the substance of the salad did not either. Forgive me for my naivety, however I thought a panzanella salad included bread - there was nothing on the menu to suggest otherwise. While the panzanella salad was obviously a disappointment for me, my experience is probably best highlighted by the PB+J cookie. Interestingly, the cookie tasted very close to the sandwich of the same name. Quinnies achieved something, but was it a good thing? I love PB+J sandwiches, but is it good that my cookie tasted like the sandwich? That is the crux of the issue - Quinnie’s sets expectations and then goes on to fulfill its own priorities: small portions, hefty prices, forced gratuity (as that point just a surcharge), confused food. Ultimately it all undermines any hope for a positive dining experience. For an establishment that supposes to support its community, it serves food that most of it probably couldn’t afford (and probably wouldn’t like). Quinnies has A LOT of work to do, and would be well served to re-examine their many flaws: their food, their business plans, and even their sense of morality. Just a heads up - in case you’ve cared to read this far and notice the 5 star review and are confused: I generally only ever score 5 stars to any restaurant. As unpleasant an experience I may have had, I don’t think one bad one should work to tank a rating. Cya bye, Quinnies. ✌️

We love this place and visit often. The food is incredible (I dream about the smashburger and the boo boo biscuit), cocktails and coffees are perfection, and vibes are immaculate. It is very kid friendly and fun for everyone !

A great place for a sandwich and beverage. I had chicken salad sandwich and an ice tea. The sandwich was so delicious and tasty. They added dill to it. The bread was amazing. The dressing on the sandwich was great,too. Lots of places to sit outside or inside. There's beer on tap, too. Brought home two homemade cookies. Both delicious. The girls behind the counter are very nice. Clean restroom.

Perfect place to catch a drink and fresh sandwiches with outdoor seating
I love Quinnie’s!!! Their sandwiches are SO good, and unique! It can be tough to find a sandwich around here that doesn’t feel like it weighs you down after lunch. But somehow even the fried chicken salad sandwich is refreshing! I love that they have rotating season specials, and keep some classics on the menu year round (I’m a huge fan of the mortadella sandwich). The non sandwich specials are always amazing too. Don’t forget to ask about them when you order! I lived off the roasted pepper coconut soup all winter long.
Everyone who works there is an actual earth angel! They are kind, helpful and patient even when it gets super busy on the weekends, and that’s no small feat!
Do yourself a favor, and keep your eye on what they’ve got goin on at Quinnie’s!

A favorite spot for years. Not your simple grab and go lunch spot. This place has epic flavor combinations, including the Not a Banh Mi (recommended by Anna, great service!) which quite literally knocked my socks off with delicious picked everything and slightly spicy mayo on a worth-its -weight-in-gold focaccia. Pair it with the picked egg (smack-your-mama level of delicious) and the full bodied white wine that tops the menu and is made by a member of the staff. Great outdoor seating area. Not to be missed if you value joy in life.

Can’t wait to try more of this menu! Had the kimchi sandwich (so good, just the right amount of kick), and bahn mi (as a sweet potato and pickle lover, the dream). Their side of pickles was also delightful. Fantastic Negroni. Love all the spaces for seating particularly outside. Great for being outside with our dog. Will be back!!!
