Sandwich Inn (a quick, cheap, decent eat on the east side of town)


110 NE 16th Ave

1.5 Thumbs Up

Price Range: CHEAP!

I've driven past this place countless times and often wondered if it was any good. Could the unassuming little drive thru shack be an easily overlooked hidden gem of goodness? Finally, I managed to stop by for a quick eat.

Their menu is SUPER cheap, which is good for your wallet, but probably not so much for the quality of ingredients.Obviously, it's largely meat based, but they did have a few veg items (grilled cheese and egg and cheese). I was very tempted to try the fried catfish sandwich, but was headed to the gym later and couldn't justify it.I settled on the grilled cheese and small fries. It was pretty decent, and mostly what I was expecting/hoping for. The fries were pretty good, and the sandwich couldn't be simpler. The whole thing cost $2.83.

There is a certain charm to an old school drive thru burger joint, and Sandwich Inn has some of it. I've seen places that are more charming, but when it comes down to it, it's really all about the food. In our case in point, the food wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. It's essentially a quick eat, and I'm sure you could have some fun with their menu.

Give it a shot if you're bored, but it probably won't become a regular in the lunchtime repertoire.
