Chicken Sandwich Girl aka Ingela had been trying to get me
to go to Sammy Green’s for weeks. Had I known Sammy Green’s was going to change
my life, I would have gone much sooner.

It was a sunny afternoon when I first laid eyes on Sammy
Green’s. The date was Friday May 11, 2012. I had been looking for love in all
the wrong food places, but May 11 was a day to remember.
(Side note, as of today, May 20, 2012, I have already been
back to eat here three more times. That’s right, four of my meals in the last nine
days have come from Sammy Green’s.)
Sammy Green’s might be my favorite restaurant since I
started this blog. The food always tastes good, there is always ample parking,
they serve food during the times that I want food, it is affordable and they
have a wide array of choices. It doesn’t get better than this.
The F2 Sandwich |
On my first trip, Chicken Sandwich Girl convinced me to get
the “F2.” According to their menu, the F2 is Falafel, spinach, lebnah and
eggplant mayo. And they serve it on a real New York hoagie roll. Their French
fries are also perfectly seasoned and fried. Seriously. It is hard to achieve
that balance between hard fry exterior and delicious fry interior, but they
managed to do it. And what the heck is lebnah? I don’t care and I don’t think
you will either.
Mike had the “Harry Nilsson” which is roasted eggplant,
fresh mozzarella, onion jam, lettuce, tomato, basil and mayo. If you remember
from earlier posts, Mike hates mayo. So, he got it without the mayo and he
loved this sandwich. He also advises that you get it with the couscous side or
the mac and cheese side.
Harry Nilsson with fries |
In one of my return visits since this first trip, I have
tried this sandwich and I think it is my favorite sandwich here. Mike is right,
it doesn’t need mayo.
Chicken Sandwich Girl had a chicken sandwich called the
“China Town” which is hoisin bbq sauce, pickled cucumber, mayo and sriracha.
You have a choice of fried fish or chicken with this sandwich. She also
recommends the mac and cheese. Chicken Sandwich Girl truly loves this chicken sandwich.
Ingela's China Town |
On a subsequent visit back to Sammy Green’s with Allison,
she had the “Valentina” which is fried or grilled chicken, guacamole, tomatillo
salsa, lettuce, cilantro and mayo. It was also very, very good.
In addition, Sammy Green’s does delicious brownies for a
dollar. You can make any of your $6 sandwiches into a combo with a side and a
drink for $2.50 more. They also have 12 dipping sauces for your French fries
for $.25 each. In addition, they make their own ginger ale, lemonade and grape
soda. I could keep going, but do
us both a favor and go eat here already.
