The Grateful Gnome Sandwich Shoppe and Brewery

Simply loved this place…Grateful Dead, Jam band kinda vibe…chill atmosphere, tasty in house beers, easy parking, lots of bands in the evenings, friendly staff, all sorts of sandwiches available, just pick all your own ingredients from the lengthy menu of choices, great variety of ingredients….

I enjoyed a real nice IPA, loved the music and really enjoyed the visit…I’d be a regular if local and that says something….go check it out if your are in the area.

First off this place is pretty dang cool. A cozy old-school industrial style interior with a deli bar and a beer bar? Sign me up! 14 taps and some out east bar culture with a shake-a-day bar game and a mug club.

Quality is good, but could be a bit cleaner. It seems lime they are working on honing things in based on past reviews here vs my experience now. Their sour came off as a bit watered down.

Service was very good. Bartemder seemed very experienced and knew the whole menu (which is impressive considering the number of sandwiches to choose from). Very patient and checked I on everyone regularly.

Selection for beer is decent with a few hoppy styles and malty styles as well as some traditional styles (hefe, esb) and a sour. Guest cider available.

Food was good. I had a chicken parm sandwich with hot peppers and it did the job. Fresh cutlet and big flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

been meaning to check this place out since they opened and finally made it in. holy cow was this ever a long time coming, so many setbacks it seemed like in the build out and stuff, glad to see them open and rolling. its a neat space, sort of a tree fort vibe, lots of reclaimed wood, open air too with garage doors all over the place, they have a front and side patio, tons of inside seating, mellow as can be, breezy in the summer and i suspect cozy in the winter all closed up. the brew house is in the back, there is a deli counter too, they are sandwich focused, and a long bar along the right hand side where you enter. i was surprised and delighted to see more than ten beers on tap, mostly basic styles, but pretty good diversity. i had a rye ipa and a belgian blonde, both of which were not tremendous but were technically solid and drinkable. i also had a meatball sandwich that was killer and affordable, highly recommended! the service was a little bland to me, easily distracted, not real attentive, and it wasnt super busy, but he was friendly enough when i did have his attention, cant complain. i like the set up in here a lot, with the food and the bar kind of separate, the space is really nice, and i could see them doing well with some live music in here when things get going. i will be back for another hot sandwich and a few more of their beers before long, good energy and something a little different from all the others with the space, i dug it!
