What a great find! Really pleasant crowd, great service from the bartender, and the food was really good as well. Especially the beef stew side that I got with my sandwich. Highly recommended!

I'm not really sure why our experience was so bad compared to other reviews, but it probably had a lot to do with the entire staff being obviously sick.

It took a little over 45 minutes to get our food, so when when our hot sandwich orders came back cold, we weren't about to ask them to warm it up and wait again. The 2nd beer we ordered was forgotten about - after it had been poured.

They were out of the potato salad, and wouldn't have soup until another date, so got the chips as the side. The chips ended up being just Ruffles and stale. Our side orders got mixed up on our plates when it came out.

We would have had a better time walking to the grocery store and making our own sandwiches, and it would have been twice as fast and cost less. We just wanted a quick meal (why we chose a sandwich place) and leave before the storm, which we ended up having to drive through. Very disappointing experience.

AMAZING place to eat!!! The atmosphere was fun but not crazy loud. The waitress switched at the last minute because our assigned waitress had family come in. I’m glad … the first waitress was RUDE!! The one that switched with her was amazingly kind and sweet. Later as we ate we noticed our original waitress was rude not only to us but other wait staff and cooks. Not acceptable and made many of the customers uncomfortable.

On a good note— Our food was AMAZING!! The sandwiches were huge and made to order and our sides tasted homemade. Our waitress kept our drinks filled can came back often to see if we needed anything!!

Excellent sandwich. Great service. Cozy atmosphere. Generous portions of meat on the sandwich. Very filling. I’ll be going back soon.

Cute little stop on your aybtheu Colorado. Nice portions for the food and wait staff was friendly. Patio is nice if weather is good and you don’t mind the road noise. I didn’t have one but the Loaded Bloody Mary looks awesome. My chicken pesto Panini was fantastic.

Made a pick up order while the restaurant was almost completely empty. Half an hour later, literally minutes before my order was supposed to be ready, they called to tell me they were completely out of the meat one sandwich was supposed to come with. We ended up waiting 45 min for our sandwiches. The bread was borderline burnt and tore up the tops of our mouths it was so dry and crispy. The meat inside was almost non existent. We paid $75 for four sandwiches that barely had any filling. Super disappointed. Also, what kind of restaurant doesn’t serve pickles on the side of their sandwiches!? Crazy talk.

WAY DRY AND SO SPICY! We ordered a couple of the Bootleggers Italian beef with au jus for pick up. Not going to lie, when we got to the house and opened them up they looked AMAZING... 1 bite in and we are all sucking down water. The meat was so dry it was almost cooked to jerky. Thankfully the Au Jus brought it back enough to eat but unfortunately the meal was so spicy non of us even finished our sandwiches. A handful of locals left Seriously disappointed.
