Love this place for lunch! Everyone in our office has a favorite item for take out. Their sandwiches are great! Their chicken salad is amazing!! Don’t leave without trying their strawberry cake!!! My new favorite item. I was going to take a photo but I ate it too fast.

A nice hidden gem, the staff were polite and attentive, and the club sandwich was delicious! You won’t leave hungry and all at a great price. You will have to bring cash because they do not accept debit or credit, it adds to the atmosphere, a good ol classic diner. Old Fogies, get it? Haha

You know you are in a rough part of town when you walk into a convenience store and there is a bulletproof glass-encased Western Union check cashing booth, a large array of malt liquor selections but only one kind of White Claw, and an employee and customer are having an open conversation about crystal meth and how it alters your appearance.

But tucked away inside this dilapidated part of east Burlington is a true diamond in the rough: Old Fogies. OF is very cute, is run by a very cheerful and helpful staff, and serves up a fine lunch.

I ordered a Reuben with potato salad and a sweet tea.

The Reuben was beautiful, with a flat and crispy exterior and a warm and tasty interior. Either they have a sandwich maker appliance or the sandwich maker person is a sandwich grilling master. It was delicious. Note: they put dijon mustard on it instead of the traditional thousand island.

The potato salad was very good. A bit mild (nothing Texas Pete couldn’t fix), though, but it had a delightful texture. The potatoes (red skin) were perfect—not too hard and not too soft—and very tasty.

The sweet tea was excellent—a perfect amount of both tea and sugar. Just a fine sweet tea.

I asked for a sample of the chicken salad, and it was EXCELLENT. A chicken salad melt from OF would surely be award winning. Maybe next time…

OF is a really neat place. And from my experience, it lives up to its name. I am 50 and was easily the youngest customer in the place. I think that the pace, atmosphere, items on their somewhat limited menu appeal to members of the Silent Generation, the Baby Boomers, and perhaps some of Generation X. I do NOT see this place having a huge appeal to hipsters or millennials, or, thankfully, to hipster millennials, the most obnoxiously pretentious humans ever described in the annals of anthropology.

Worth noting: I actually found this place by typing “hot dogs” in the Yelp search. They don’t have hot dogs. They have mostly sandwiches. And no fries. Fortunately I knew this ahead of time because I looked at the menu.

This is one of those places that charmed me so much that I can’t stop thinking about it. Definitely worth a visit…if you’re old enough.

I’m giving this 5 stars because I had to walk to get my cash around the corner and back. I then proceeded to have the absolute most delicious chicken noodle soup in the whole country. Holy smokes was it homemade and delicious. Loved this place and coming back everytime I come to Burlington!
