This was my first time coming here, though my wife has been a couple of times for work events and orders from them for lunch occasionally.
I was not sure what to expect. The cutesy name had me a little worried. It turns out my fears were completely unfounded.
We went early on a weeknight so we had the place all to ourselves, to start. The waitress/bartender was friendly and attentive, and made some great recommendations.
Our food was excellent. Very well prepared with great flavor and texture combinations. The bread was freshly made and really well executed.
I felt like the prices for everything were very reasonable, especially for the quality and service we received. I would definitely come again and try more of the menu!

Have been coming to this place for years. Used to get the biasi breakfast sandwich before they removed it from the menu. The green goblin has been my go to after that. It used to come on a full sized roll. Now they cut it into a tiny square and charge the same amount. Absolutely ridiculous. The shop has gone way downhill.

This is a clear case of a restaurant that was hoping for viral business but was not prepared for the business load that comes from being viral. I understand creating boundaries around your viral food challenge, but the lack of transparency is astounding. Last weekend we came in to do the challenge after looking at the website and on social media. They told us they didn't have the buns and all that is needed is calling at least 6 hours ahead. We tried to call on Saturday and they told us to call back on Sunday. Today we did exactly that. We called 8 hours ahead of the challenge...10 minutes after they opened. They told me they just gave away their last slot of the day. We were there last week and there was no mention of this "list". Staff keeps telling people to check the website.... I have checked the website, FB, and IG. No mention of a list of any kind. Staff was not prepared for this, and management needs to do something about it. Honestly, it feels like this was a poor attempt to get people to come into the restaurant and get them to order something else since they're already there. We won't be back. Shadiness should not be rewarded.

Excellent sandwich. Nothing close to their pictures but very good. Fries suck. 10-ish% will be good. They don't seem to know about par-frying and it shows. Soft lumpy trash. My order was to go and it seems none of my requests were honored. No dip. If you want a LOT of roasted garlic in your sandwich they GOT you.

So, I absolutely adore this place. The sandwiches are top notch. I got the Hot Not Hot and it was pretty amazing. They have fries and beer on tap. You really can’t do much better.

The server was friendly and polite, but also knew when to leave me alone, which I appreciate!
I had the French Dip which was very tasty, I especially like the horseradish sauce.
I also had an order of fries which were doctored up with truffle oil, cheese, etc. and those were amazing.
I definitely recommend this place.

I cannot overestimate how good the sandwiches are here. I have never had a miss; everything I've ever ordered has always wildly surpassed my expectations. And despite not having a bar-like vibe, I just had one of the best cocktails of my life there: a house-made chai infused vodka with an orange liquer, vanilla, and some other stuff, up with a sugar rim and it blew my goddamn mind. Do not sleep on this place, go get you the most delicious sandwich you've ever had in your life and watch some Bob's burgers playing on their TVs while you do. A+ dining experience.

I would’ve taken a photo of the food, but I ate it FAST! This restaurant is the most delicious place I have ever eaten. I had their special which was a chicken sandwich and my husband had the Farley. Both were amazing sandwiches. We also shared their Hot Mess Fries and those were absolutely heavenly!! This was our first time in and we will definitely be back!!
