It is always worth the long wait when they have limited space. The bread they use is usually of a thick sourdough variety - and never greasy.

So we went a couple of months ago with high expectations. We ordered 3 sandwiches and split them: the crabby melt, the blue ox, and one other. The sandwiches weren't bad, but nor did they meet expectations.<br /><br />However, at least two sets of our friends love the place.

We went once, during lunch on a VERY busy Saturday. We waited forever and it turned out that our order was misplaced. The owner was very apologetic and gave us a coupon for 1/2 off a menu item for our next visit. But, honestly I don't think I'll go out of my way again. I agree with you - it's much too greasy.Spedrsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-19462699187552905102010-09-13T16:10:51.373-04:002010-09-13T16:10:51.373-04:00My DW had a crab melt, right after they opened.

We both ordered the cheese, bacon and tomato. We could have split it, as it was really big and really greasy. You are right about too much butter being used. It was sitting in a pool of it. Lets be honest, you need to use butter when making grilled cheese, but I think they could cut back a bit considering that the sandwhich is then loaded Barbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-72639008585639043102010-09-13T09:14:41.624-04:002010-09-13T09:14:41.624-04:00I think you nailed it.

And butter just does NOT fit in with some of those. I understand that the rich, over-the-top nature of butter makes a great "Cassic" grilled cheese, but that's only because your classic grilled cheese isn't a balance of flavor, Adamhttp://grubgrade.comnoreply@blogger.com
