i went at about 4pm, and it was not busy at all, scarily so. walking back to the subway i saw other "fast casual" "restaurants" busy so it wasnt just the time of day, maybe it was the location, which wasnt in the south street seaport, but off the beaten track.
but anywho, i got the sandwich, which came with slaw on top, on a whole wheat bun. i got a booth and felt like a food blogger. i found myself taking photos of the sandwich and analyzing everything, never done that before. so here are the photos!
looks pretty good right?
it was good. slightly dry, and not every bite was flavorful, but i liked it. i kept wishing i had some sauce to add to make it better, but ate the whole thing. i was hungry, but it was nice and for $4.95, not a bad price. the slaw was good, but i really couldnt get over the dryness.
the atmosphere was alright, a bit industrial. i didnt really sense "soul food," more chipolte with wooden booths. the staff was undertrained; the lady who rang me up didnt know what i had ordered, even though there are only about 6 items on the menu. i also noticed that a few other people who came in after me also thought they would get sides with the sandwich, which made me feel better. here is a view of the interior of the restaurant.
as i was leaving i sadly found a table of sauces hidden behind a corner, oh the sandwich would have been so much better had i only seen! overall ok, but not running back there, and even if i worked/lived in the area i couldnt see myself there more than once a season.
