This place is so rad it’s hard to describe. Tons of awesome 80-90’s memorabilia to really bring back some memories. Service is fantastic, and the sandwiches are phenomenal. Really fresh ingredients with the perfect fresh firm bread. Will be back 1000% to crush the other menu items. 10/10

Stopped in for some sandwiches on a day trip from Milwaukee and wow I wish we had this place at home. Got some traditional (hot beef w/ giardiniara) and some not-so-traditional (turkey w/ citrus slaw and thousand island) and they were both knock out good. Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere on top.
We will be back!

My first time in, definitely will be back, Tito had great music and vibes about him! The hot beef sandwich was no joke, great time all around!

Fun spot with delicious sandwiches and equally fantastic cocktails on draft as well as house made soda.
The atmosphere is 90s themed dive bar. It was comfortable and the staff was very nice!
We had the turkey sandwich; pulled chicken sandwich and the Classic. The bread is absolutely amazing (local bakery Stalzy’s) and the flavors of each sandwich were great.
Must visit!

I felt exceptionally welcomed here when I came for my first time in. I was coming for a vegetarian meal but what I got was so much more! The bartender aka guru is P-squared=pleasant and personable. The energy here is fun and contagious. It’s nostalgic and unique. You can tell it’s more than a bar/restaurant. It’s a passion project and it’s so fun! Thank you for bringing your awesome ideas to the world. We need more of them… “I’ll be bach (back)!” (Distill America ) Thank you again!

Visited a rainy weekday for lunch as we were passing through town. Had the highest ratings and wanted to try.
The service was a bit confusing at first, but you order at the bar and seat yourself without much direction to where.
I can’t remember the sandwich I ordered in the picture provided, but the specific cheese overpowered everything and made it bitter but wasn’t bad enough to not eat. The potatoe salad was good. Lastly, my girlfriend pork belly sandwich was wonderful but was slightly burnt and kinda had that aftertaste, but it was seasoned well from the initial taste, but that slight burnt flavor lingered with it.
The atmosphere was fun and engaging.
Overall, I’d come back and try something else or get the pork belly. 8/10 would recommend.

Came here for dinner with friends and really liked the vibes! The sandwiches taste good and are reasonably priced for the portion size. The vegan banh mi was pretty decent. Overall, good service, decent food, and cool atmosphere!

Welp, can’t have meatball subs anywhere else now, Hot Lunch has ruined all others for me, haha! SO delicious!! Fresh basil on top is the chef’s kiss. Such a cool vibe, too. As a former “hot school lunch” kid I really loved the vibe in the local gem. Great people making amazing food.

Neat nostalgic place – they were playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure on the big screen TV when I was there. The menu isn’t huge by any stretch of the imagination, but it is inventive. I got the pulled chicken sandwich, and it was massive. Very good, and plenty to take home. Served on a classic lunch tray (hence the name of the place, I’d have to assume).
