Villains

UPDATE: it was soooooo bad they closed!

Thank goodness for Youtube videos. My husband and I found a video on Atlanta Eats, I believe, and they pointed us in the direction of this little burger joint in the heart of GT territory/​midtown. We spent the afternoon at the World of Coca Cola and didn’t eat anything before we went. We checked into our hotel, freshened up and went into the city for the World of Coca Cola.
We meant to go to the Vortex, which was right across the street, but I changed my mind, since I wasn’t in the mood for a smokey environment. Out of the Vortex locations, the midtown one does a good job at controlling the smoke. As soon as we saw Villians, we crossed the street and ended up grabbing some burgers from there. We were waited on by Steven, who was amazing. He got our orders in promptly and was very attentive to us. Then again, we were the only ones seated in the dining area, with a few patrons sitting at the bar.
We ordered 2 O-Ren’s and 1 Vincent. The O-​Ren is what I ordered and it hit the spot just right. I was craving for some Korean food and that definitely hit the spot. There was some bulgogi on top of a patty, which was genius, in my opinion. That sat atop a bed of cabbage with sriracha. The lotus looking things were amazing and had a little bit of a tang to them. My husband had fries with his order, which were not bad at all. We didn’t order any fancy drinks, since we still had to drive back to Peachtree City in the afternoon rush, no less.
The experience was great and we will be back for future visits. I’m a stickler for paying for parking, but for this, it was worth it. Plus the fact that Sweet Hut was just down the block that was the cherry on top.

Meh.
Came here for lunch on a quiet weekday. When we walked in, instead of getting seated we had to order and pay from the bar first. This was made extra awkward by the fact that we had never been there before and needed to take some time to look at the menu. The menu itself is fairly limited but has some unique sandwich options. My husband and I both ordered the same thing, but they did not come out the same. His was missing two things in fact. I don’t even know how that happened. The sandwich got really messy too and there was no silverware to be found. (World’s tiniest napkins here, btw). I also fetched my own bottle of ketchup. I had to grab a straw for my drink because the glass smelled so strongly of detergent. Good to know it was clean at least. The metal chairs were super cold and not very comfortable. Interesting concept, but too many other options in the area that I’ve had better experiences at.

Overall: Cheap, simple, and pretty frickin good. This place does sandwiches right.
The good: A great variety of sandwiches, and salads for those who don’t want heartburn later. Good beer list and cocktails, and tasty side options. The service was fast and friendly and the décor was cool.
The bad: I wasn’t blown away by the food. It was great, but nothing 5-​star.

I continued on my search for the best burgers and sandwiches in town at Villains. Bocado was closed on Sunday, General Muir didn’t serve the Burger Stack until dinner… Villains was a longstanding must try bookmark on our list. The restaurant was unique, with writing all over the walls (mathematical and scientific formulas) and drawings at every table. The furniture was all chrome and metal, with wooden tables. I ordered a «hero» sandwich, called the Big Enos Burdette, which was essentially a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, with a side of sweet and sour Brussels sprouts (when will I ever get over this Brussels sprouts addiction?!). Our server brought out our food after what felt like a miserably long wait. After all, we were starving after traipsing all over town looking for a burger joint left on our list to try.
Along with the sides we ordered, each order came with these gluten free sour chips of some sort. They were weirdly addicting but for some reason they were too sour so I couldn’t eat them all at once.
The general consensus of the table was that the sandwiches and burgers were definitely good, but nothing mind blowing. There was always a little something that was slightly off. However I wouldn’t mind coming back to try another of the different heroes available.

Went here for breakfast and had to ask for ICE in my water, & checks (twice).
Bloody Mary Special: $ 6.00. With a small High Life.
$ 5.00 Breakfast Burrito worth the wait? Quitepossiblymaybe.
Still the atmosphere is dynamic, I’m pretty sure I noticed Russian writing on the wall. They need to have How To Solve The World Nights and use the cool chalkboard.

Villains Wicked Heroes is a creative sandwich shop that opened in Midtown in April 2013. It’s in the space formerly occupied by Little Azio, next door to Noodle in a small, single-​story development at the corner of Peachtree St. and 8^th St. The three owners of Villains Wicked Heroes have worked at other popular Atlanta restaurants such as Grindhouse Killer Burgers, Flip Burger, and the now defunct HD1 (hot dogs). The restaurant’s name is a play on the word «hero» used is used to describe sandwiches in New York.
I love the theme of the business which was inspired by cartoon, comic book, and movie villains. The restaurant was designed to look sort of like an evil lair. Inside, one of the walls is a giant blackboard with chalk scribblings on world domination. There’s all sorts of cool and funny artwork and décor, such as the tabletops which have white silhouettes of famous villains. The sign for the men’s restroom is Superman picking his nose and the sign for the ladies’ restroom is Wonder Woman’s underwear around her ankles (yes, she’s on the commode).
There’s a full, oval-​shaped bar. One half of the bar is outside and one half is inside. It’s a nice transition between the outdoor and indoor areas and makes the entire restaurant feel open and airy. The patio has ample seating. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. The vibe is grungier and more alternative than a typical Midtown restaurant. You’d expect to see a place like this in/​around Little Five Points and Old Fourth Ward. I’m glad it opened in Midtown though.
Over a dozen sandwiches are available. Each is named after a villain. Examples: Odd Job from the James Bond movie Goldfinger, Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons, Clubber Lang from Rocky II, and Megatron from Transformers. The salads are also named after villains, such as the Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The sandwiches are filling. The rolls are about 8 inches and come from a local German baker. The bread is great. Slightly hard and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The sandwiches are packed with quality ingredients. Expect to spend about $ 8 – 11 per sandwich.
Two of the most popular sandwiches are the aforementioned Odd Job and the Mumm-​Ra (ThunderCats reference). One of the staff told me the Odd Job is popular because «Korean is in.» The Odd Job features Korean double-​fried chicken, gochujang sauce, and pear slaw. Korean double-​fried chicken is exceptionally crispy. The sauce is made from gochujang paste, a traditional Korean condiment which is both salty and spicy.
The Mumm-​Ra, often recommended, is Villains’ take on the gyro. It has crispy lamb belly, honey mint yogurt, and marinated tomato, bell pepper and onion.
I like the Bugsy Siegel (1930s American gangster reference). It’s kind of like the restaurant’s version of the Reuben. It’s got short rib pastrami, braised cabbage, Swiss cheese, and Russian caviar dressing. It’s a savory sandwich which packs quite a punch, flavor-​wise. The pastrami is mouth-​watering and tasty and the Swiss and Russian dressing meld together nicely.
I think these guys have done a great job tweaking the sandwiches from the bread to the quality and quantity of the ingredients. The sandwiches are filling, delicious, and aren’t messy to eat.
I’d stay away from the salads unless you’re really looking to get one. Any of the sandwiches are available without bread («Skeletor style») by request. If you do order a salad, the main portion is large enough to satisfy most people’s hunger. I’ve tried the Shredder which comes with Romaine lettuce, bok choi, avocado, tomato, garbanzo beans, radish, and a tahini-​soy dressing. It’s okay. The veggies are fresh and ripe and the kitchen is generous with each of the ingredients, particularly the garbanzo beans. However, the salads can’t hold a candle to the sandwiches.
The sides ($ 3) look very appealing, though I’ve yet to try any. They include soba noodle & kale salad and fried chicken liver & braised greens. Yum.
Sublime Doughnuts has supplied «bomb pops» frozen dessert treats which you can grab and purchase from the small freezer at the ordering counter. These are like ice cream and sorbets inside a plastic push-​pop mechanism. Good stuff. The flavors available last time I went included strawberry mango and chocolate peanut butter. Both flavors are enjoyable. Go with the strawberry mango if you like fruit sorbets and chocolate peanut butter if you like chocolate ice cream.
Service is terrific. All of the staff I’ve encountered here have been nothing but cool and friendly.
Free parking is available directly in front of the restaurant in their small parking lot. Most of the time, all of these spaces are taken. There’s also a lot in the back. Your can street park on Juniper or Piedmont (free). On Sundays and city holidays, all metered spots in Midtown are free.

Villains has always been a place I’ve been curious to try for a while now, and I recently had the opportunity to give it a whirl. I’d be lying if I wasn’t intrigued by the name alone, considering that I was pretty much raised on comic books, video games and any other form of nerdy media that pitted heroes versus villains.
Anyway, they’re located at the corner of 8^th and Peachtree, on the other side of the street basically facing the Midtown Vortex. I can’t speak for parking since I walked there, but I can’t imagine it’s great, considering the tiny strip including Villains has like literally five parking spaces, shared between three businesses. There are pay lots right next door, but people are inherently always pursuing free parking, so I’d say it’d be safe to assume to not bank on getting one of their spots.
There’s a good bit of outdoor seating, but in the middle of a Georgia sauna summer, I opted to sit indoors; despite the fact that the bar is of the double-​sided variety that keeps it wide open to the outdoors, the inside is still vastly cooler and drier than it would be sit outdoors in the summer. On a weekend morning, I tend to assume that any place advertising brunch options should have people already there when I arrive, but Villains was almost deserted. I hoped that this wasn’t a sign of things to come and/​or people, like always were instead crowding outside of Flying Biscuit, leaving the vast other breakfast/​brunch options open for people like me.
As for the interior itself, it’s dimly lit and decorated with lots of darks and metallics, since clearly villains in literature tend to like things of such variety, or lack thereof. Identity-​wise, there’s not a whole lot about the interior decoration that really goes with the name «Villains,» other than silhouettes of comic book characters on some tables, and a chalkboard wall with some scribbles of formulas and plots to take over the world or something. Needless to say, the identity of the place seemed a little lacking in relation to the name.
But none of the previously mentioned is why I rate Villains what I rate them, because when the day is over, the food is all that matters and should matter. And unfortunately, I have to say that I was widely unimpressed with my choice at Villains.
I ordered an El Macho, which is described as a pork belly torta. Admittedly, this was chosen because I was feeling adventurous and kind of forcing myself to stray from comfort picks like Cuban or bahn mi sandwiches, but the idea of pork belly in a sandwich sounded like a good idea too.
I’m not sure whether or not it was deliberate, or it was just not mentioned, but the pork belly had bones in it. Now I can’t tell if it were bone, soft bone, cartilage, or tidbits of pork so braised, they were hard as rock, but the bottom line is that I couldn’t chew it, and was forced to spit out pieces of protein that I couldn’t eat. This is a massive turnoff to discover from a sandwich, something I should be able to eat entirely without worrying about extracting anything from my mouth mid chew.
The chunks are also cut into these big cubes, rendering it kind of difficult to take a small bite and not pull an entire chunk out with it, resulting in a terrible disparity between bread and filler to succulent animal flesh.
Furthermore the radish-​onion salad within the sandwich was simply overpowering. This is made worse when you take a bite, pull out an entire chunk of pork belly with a bone in it, and then have the next bite be just avocado and a very powerful radish/​onion flavor.
Honestly, I think I just made a poor decision with the sandwich. I would highly discourage anyone from getting the El Macho, unless they really like radishes, and have teeth strong enough to devour bone.
The bacon potato salad I got on the side was pretty good. That, I’d consider getting again; because sure, I’d give Villains another shot. They have a Cuban sandwich, and I’m always on the prowl for a good Cuban sandwich, so it would be worth a second try. But as far as first impressions go, overall I was pretty disappointed with Villains.
On a scale of mutant-​hating bigot to Magneto, I’d have to rank Villians somewhere in between Toad or the Blob; interpret that however you wish, but I’m saying that that’s completely underwhelming.

I’ve been to Villains once before, when it first opened. I remember being impressed with the space and as equally impressed with the sammiches — but for some unknown reason it fell off my radar; At least until this past weekend’s UYsammiE (Lindy!!) — and I fell in deep like all over again.
Going back to Villains’ space/​set-​up, it’s pretty freaking cool; The outdoor seating area is great, ample tables, a bar, and a pretty water fountain to occupy those eyes. The inside though — if you can believe it — is even cooler as they definitely stick to their villains theme. The far right wall is one big world domination art type design, it’s so cool. I was charmed immediately. The bathrooms are a treat too (in terms of design of course).
The menu’s main feature are sandwiches, in addition there are bar snacks, salads, a few traditional sides, and cocktails — If you hadn’t guessed all of the menu items are named after a famous villain. We got a kick out of figuring out which villain came from what fandom!
For my entrée I went with the ‘Montgomery Burns’ — a short rib featured sandwich, with — wait for it — Cheese Whiz Brie — I had to have it, can you blame me? While the Whiz nor Brie aspect were big stand outs, I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless, and it seemed to be a pretty big hit at our table. I also had the kale salad, which again I thoroughly enjoyed — the kale was crisp and fresh, and the dressing was delicious! On the side of all sandwiches come a side of complimentary chicharones — Mexican style chips — which are tasty. They were on the menu for our initial visit and I was sad not to see them this visit until I noticed that they had become a complimentary staple. Points!
I was also fairly impressed with their cocktail menu — they all sounded so creative and well conceived, I got to try one featuring Mexican Coke, bourbon, and roasted peanuts — needless to say, it was awesome!
I really enjoyed both experiences at Villains — definitely come for the scenery and stay for the food!

«It will be nice to be working with proper villians again!» — Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
Bring on the nefarious bunch of sammies, please. If you know me, then you know sandwiches were a large part of my upbringing and I am always on the hunt for a great meal between two slices of bread. This time around we visited Villians — where every item on the menu is named for a famous bad guy and the restaurant’s décor is an evil lair. My kind of atmosphere.
12 of us descended upon the secret lab that is Villians and started the difficult task of deciding what to order. At first, I thought I might just pick based on the name — but then I saw an homage to my lineage and decided I had to go with the Aurric Goldfinger — a pseudo Kentucky Hot Brown. Piled with turkey, bacon, tomato jam (what?) and cheese sauce melted and pressed into a hoagie…
Okay, in my family we are strictly old school and insist a hot brown should have NO tomatoes. I was willing to overlook it for tomato jam. Delish! Now, this was no hot brown I ever grew up with, but I think Goldfinger would approve having this delectable hoagie named after him. Served with a side of lotus chips (chili-​lime lotus chips, no less) and then I ordered a side of potato-​bacon salad. The potato salad needed salt. Otherwise, I’m a fan.
I was disappointed to see the little freezer completely frozen over and the push-​pops in a freezer-​burned mess. Those things are amazing and, with it being summer, they are the perfect foil to any lunch in 90-​degree weather. Seeing that in the middle of the restaurant AND not being able to order one — huge disappointment.
Our server took excellent care of us considering the number at our table, separate checks AND 2 people showed up just moments after the rest of us had ordered — yet their food was barely late in comparison to the rest. Bravo Villians. If your evil plan was to bring us back for more — it worked.

The setting is modern. It is expansive and airy, and you can see out to the patio. There are seats outside as well, but the group chose the steel seats inside the cool facility.
There are a lot of interesting things on the menu with clever names like Colonel Kurtz, Aurric Goldfinger.
I tried the smoked chicken hash breakfast item. The chicken was dry. The potatoes and fried egg were decent but had to pour ketchup on it for more flavor.
The spicy fried chicken sandwich was more flavorful. I was impressed with the first bite. The chicken here was actually more tender than the one in the breakfast dish.
Fried chicken livers were just that. The liver did not have any unique taste to it. It didn’t taste very good (& I can eat livers). On top of that, the fried part must have attempted to mask the flavor… Poorly. It came with a spicy sauce and a mustard sauce but neither added positively to the flavor.
The pork rinds were an interesting twist, with some sort of lime seasoning.
Parking is limited in front but there is street parking.

Really like this place. I had heard about it through friends quite a while back before finally making a visit at some point last year, since then I’ve been back twice more times and would probably go more if I lived closer to downtown.
Besides the entertaining names of all their sandwiches and entrees, they are truly really good. My fav so far is still the El Guapo, with a side of the sweet and sour brussels sprouts. The beer selection is pretty decent and the bartenders have all been very friendly. Only drawback to this place is the lack of places to sit inside which could be a problem if the weather outside isn’t cooperative. Parking is also very limited but the complimentary valet is a nice touch at least.

I’m a fan of this place and have been multiple times.
The menu changes seasonally so not everything will be available year round.
I like the Megatron, Odd Job, and Montgomery Burns sandwiches.
There’s a good beer selection and they always have some house-​made special drinks as well.
Pros:
— Some great sandwiches
— Great atmosphere
— Friendly bar staff
Cons:
— Perhaps too many food options which makes it hard to execute all of them well.

This was an interesting restaurant! I came here for an Alumni meeting and the staff was very accommodating to our group considering we had a reservation for 20 people. We decided to sit outside since it was such a gorgeous day! They had free Valet parking which was nice as well. Our waiter was very attentive with filling drinks right away without asking and bringing out our food in a timely manner.
We ordered a number of appetizers for the table such as Hummus with pita bread and carrots and Wings. The wings had a slight kick but the sauce was excellent and I usually never eat wings! I also had a sandwich which included turkey, tomato jam, bacon, and cheese sauce. All of their sandwiches are named after famous Villains. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with the sandwich. I did substitute the Bacon for Avocado but the cheese sauce just didn’t taste very good. It kind of tasted like blue cheese maybe? I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what kind of cheese was used but it overwhelmed my sandwich. Besides that, the side of Mushroom soup was pretty good! Their drinks are not bad and average priced for the area.
This restaurant is just okay but it does have a cool concept and great outdoor seating.

The staff was so accommodating to our large party! We had a huge picnic style table reserved for us outside on a beautiful day. The server Jable took great care of us. We had the hummus and wings for appetizers which were both delicious. The pita bread that came with the hummus was the best I’ve ever had. Carrots were also included. I didn’t love my meal as much as the appetizers though. The pasta salad as my side was very dry. And the shrimp PO boy was just okay, too much sauce for my liking. But based on how much I liked the the good I’d defiantly go back and order something different!
Super cool atmosphere. Hip and trendy with a garage door that opens in the middle of the bar putting half the bar inside and half outside.

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. It was far from busy. As we perused the menu, we heard from those ordering in front of us that they were out of a number of items.
J got the Bill the butcher (Beef brisket po’ boy with lettuce, tomato, gravy, horseradish) with sweet and sour Brussels sprouts, while I got the Odd Job (Spicy fried chicken hero, Korean «buffalo» sauce, pear slaw) with «Hail Nero» salad (kale and ramen «croutons». We also got the grilled cheese for C, which comes with a Dole fruit cup and a Capri Sun.
My sandwich had it’s pros and cons. Pros: crispy chicken, spicy sauce, good mix of flavor with slaw and spicy sauce. Con: huge white hero roll was flavorless and seemed to overpower the ingredients, chicken tenders were huge and didn’t easily bite through, sauces made it messy.
The space is decorated with plans for all kinds of evil plots to take over the world, definitely a great interpretation of the theme. The whole space feels like a bunker or secret lair. Props for taking the theme to the max, but the sparse décor left the place feeling cold on a damp February day.
I wouldn’t make a special trip, but it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area and in the mood for something a little bit different.

First experience– a few of us dined here for lunch on a Friday. The weather was perfect so we sat outside. This place shares a great, comfortable outdoor dining area with Noodle.
The cashier was very nice in welcoming us and very helpful in answering questions. Under his suggestion, I tried the Vulture + Duck Debris Gravy on the side. Our food came out within moments after getting our drinks and sitting. For the first half of my sandwich, I spooned a conservative amount of duck gravy on it. As I feared, the duck gravy was entirely too salty and rather ruined the sandwich. For the second half, I skipped the duck gravy and was able to truly taste the great flavors the sandwich had – the spices in the Cajun turkey and the seasoned mayo. The lettuce, tomato, and pickle were very fresh and great in the sandwich. I especially loved the pickle because it had a very unique flavor. The bread was very toasted and fell apart easily. On the parts where the mayo touched, the bread was the perfect texture; on the dry parts the bread was almost inedible.
The Disco Volante (veggie chicharones) that comes with every sandwich was so salty I could not eat more than 2. One of my coworkers also gave up on eating her meal, also saying it was too salty.
Good sandwich concepts but execution could definitely be improved.

After a Tuesday matinée of Star Trek Into Darkness, I couldn’t think of a better place to have a post-​movie powwow. Late afternoon is an optimal time to visit Villains Wicked Heroes. Grab a seat at the bar, order up some specialty cocktails or a cold pint, sit back, chat with the excellent and accommodating staff, and enjoy the entertaining spectacle that is Peachtree Street in the heart of midtown Atlanta.
If you like a little kick in your drink, opt for the Summer of Sam, a boozy vodka and tequila punch with a dash of jalapeño. The bartenders know how to mix a good drink, expertly serving up my usual vodka soda after I finished the spicy libation. Tito’s is the current well vodka, a nice touch.
I had some concerns about the food, based on previous reviews and my gluten allergy. Am I crazy for thinking a sandwich place would have GF options? Turns out, no, I am not. All the heroes are offered «skeletor style» — no bread — and while not all the sandwich fillings are GF, there are plenty of tasty options. Just stay away from anything fried or panko-​crusted. Since I’m a sucker for a good tuna salad, I decided on the Natasha Fatale, made with house cured tuna, Swiss cheese, cucumber, sliced tomato and arugula. I added a side of avocado and finished every single bite. Tuna salad bliss! Next time, I’m going to try the El Guapo, recommended by Jimmy, who also informed us they recently changed their bread vendor, much to the delight of my two dining companions. They thoroughly enjoyed the Bugsy Siegel and the Montgomery Burns, with the latter taking the prize for best hero of the day.
Not in the mood for a hero sandwich? Patrons dining at the bar can enjoy a daily-​changing menu of snacks, small plates designed to be eaten with adult beverages. And rumor has it they’ll be opening for Sunday brunch very soon. I will most definitely be back.

As we were about to leave the Margaret Mitchell House, I told my friends I wanted to eat one last meal before I headed home. Thanks to Christin K’s suggestion, we came up with this place. None of us had been, so we were all excited. I mean, this helps us with our review counts, eh?
It was only a block walk, and when we got there, it wasn’t too crowded. The first thing I noticed was the patio area– looked awesome! Long metal benches, fountains, and an open bar as well.
It is a counter order then bring food to ya deal. So we all got menus and studied em. Drinks on one side, food on the other. As the name of the restaurant implies, everything is named after some sort of whateveryouwannacallit. The items looked spotty– with nothing really looking like it would hit out of the ballpark. No fries here or anything like that. Salads, noodles, and sandwiches. The sandwiches are served on 8 inch buns.
I ended up getting I think the Montgomery Burns, the most expensive food item at $ 15. I wanted to see what a sandwich of that price would do to my palette. I also ordered some kind of iron drink (forgot what the whole name was). I also ordered a fountain drink. I got a cone with a number, and my drink shortly came out, and so did my sandwich. The food does come out quickly here!
I tell you what, my palette was sure pissed off when I bit into that sandwich. It consisted of shaved ribeye, and a horseradish brie. I have not been a fan of horseradish, but I am trying to slowly eat more of it (hell, I finally started to enjoy mustard now!). The cheese was the best part about it. Unfortunately, the $ 15 sandwich literally tasted like meat, cheese with a kick, and bread. The meat was juicy, but it was bland– as it tasted like it was never seasoned. Bummer.
On the other hand, my drink (which was rimmed with a chili-​salt) was pretty damn tasty. I liked the rimjob (hehe) on it– complimented it well. Since I was driving back to Memphis that night, I only had one– easily could have downed 5 – 6 more.
At the counter, they had dessert pushpops made by Sublime Donuts (hell yea!). They had strawberry mango and chocolate peanut butter, @ 3 $ a pop (pun intended). I ended up buying them by the hordes. The cashier realized I never got my fountain drink from earlier, so she knocked the price off of one of the pops. Hell yea. The pops were yummy! I would say they were equally tasty– but the chocoPB tasted just like a reeses cup :)
It was time to then doll up and check out the restroom. I like how the walls were painted like green ooze is pouring out of them (something I really want to think about when I am in a bathroom). But they were clean. The light fixtures in there were industrial and cool– I had not seen lights like that before. Thankfully I didn’t get attacked by a villain when I was in the restroom.
In the end, I got to spend some time with 7 special people and I enjoyed their company. I think we all came upon the conclusion that this place is a great hang out spot for drinks, but do not get hung up on the food. Hell, at least they have popsicles– but they also usually have King of Pops out front too (earlier in the day, at least).

Being a long time geek, I love their theme. All of the menu items are based off of villains such as Mum Ra, Shredder, The Vulture, etc. As their awesome name suggests, they serve heros (sandwiches).
I tried the El Guapo sandwich. It tasted okay. It tasted like fish for some reason. I have no idea why. I had to check the menu multiple times to make sure they didn’t have sardines. They had chorizo and chicken, no fish to be found.
I tried their other stuff. I tried their shredder, which looked good. It had all the right ingredients I love: avocado, garbanzo, etc. But it tasted okay.
I also tried their Bugsy Siegel, which is their pastrami sandwich. I thought it tasted decent. But I’m a fan of pastrami sandwiches, so they had to screw it up pretty bad to make me not like it.
Despite their fun atmosphere, they only serve average food. They seem to use the right ingredients, but it seems their execution is lacking. I guess you can come here to get your geek on.
