I've made multiple stops here and have tried a few different sandwiches, but the BLT is a favorite. Not sure if potato salad is still on the menu but remember it being yummy as well. Bonus points for outdoor seating!
I had the buffalo chicken sandwich here. I like buffalo chicken, so I figured it had to be at least ok. It was awful. Overcooked, dry, low quality chicken tenders smothered in not-quite-typical buffalo sauce and blue cheese. The whole thing tasted weird and made me cough. Furthermore, the whole sandwich was a mess to eat. It's as if no thought at all was given to the design of this sandwich.
Maybe their other sandwiches are better, but I'm not going to find out.

I love truffle flavor anything so had to try their truffle BLT and fries.
The fries were ok, the truffle flavor came from the aioli that was drizzled on top. It was really creamy but I'm not a fan, got flavor fatigue after awhile.
The truffle BLT had the same sauce slathered between two white bread. The bacon was too thick and chewy instead of thin and crispy like how I would have preferred. I don't know if any sandwich made with two white bread can go any farther than just being mid

Got the turkey sandwich which was good! Not the best sandwich ever but I do like that it comes on a pretzel bun. This is a nice casual lunch spot if you're in the Lincoln park area.
The fries have kept us coming back for years, but the service is going to keep us away. Staff have been rude and dismissive, so that makes a dine-in experience icky. This location is small, parking is often impossible and the sandwiches are forgettable, so if you need fries, grab them to go.
Oh. My. God. This was the best blt I've ever had in my life. I didn't know that a blt needed truffle until now. Best part? The also have a vegetarian option. We got the dill potato salad (yum) and the spicy sesame fries (double yum) on the side. We went during an off time so it wasn't too busy. They also have alcoholic beverages and slushie cocktails do not a bad place to grab a drink and a sandwich before hitting the town.
