Chris' NY Sandwich Shop

Chris' is a family-run operation, which cuts both ways: the food itself is good enough to ensure consistent crowds during their brief lunchtime opening hours, but it's hard to fire your own flesh and blood, which makes for inconsistent-at-best service: friendly and efficient if you luck out, but more often slow, indifferent, and downright surly. Sandwiches come on your choice of ten different breads with a variety of optional toppings, with chips on the side by default or sweet potato fries for $3 extra. Try the smoked turkey salad sandwich, blended with fresh dill for an incomparable flavor. Grilled fare such as burgers and steak sandwiches, specialty salads, and Friday fish fry round out the menu. Prices are on the high side, but — if you're willing to put up with the lousy service — you really do get what you pay for.
