Herb ‘n Twine

This is a great place to eat i found out about this place on Unilocal actually under the category of hot new businesses. Because of my job i travel alot and Unilocal always guides me to great places to eat i must say this sandwich shop is defiantly a place you have to try i went with my wife yesterday and i ordered the Korean sub and my wife had the turkey club and we both really enjoyed our sandwiches whenever im in town i defiantly will be stopping by.

Great experience and great sandwiches.
A bit out of the way from downtown for lunch, but definitely worth the trip. Speedy service, definitely can fit it in during a lunch break.

My sister and I came in yesterday for lunch and had a great time. The menu had lots of exciting items, but I was with my sister who is a vegetarian so we got got the vegetable pot pie soup and the veggie sandwich to split. Both were tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed the veggie sandwich which showcased the lowly beet– the underdog of the vegetable world in my opinion. I am also an avid diet pop drinker, yes, I know, terrible, so I appreciated that diet coke was available for die hards like myself that can bring themselves to class up their beverage game to something like iced coffee or sparkling water.
The best part of the meal though was the staff. From start to finish they were warm and generous and had a good sense of humor. It also didn’t hurt that they got our meal out to us in about five minutes!
We will be back!

Stopped by today for the first time at lunch. I had never heard of the place although it has been open a few months. I got the smoked turkey club, it was good! Not a huge sandwich but with a bag of chips was enough to be satisfying for lunch. The turkey didn’t taste very smokey but was still good. They need to replace their window signage to get noticed. It is black lettering on glass storefront with dark backdrop which disappears and is easily missed. I drive by 44^th and Lorain daily headed to 90 and have never even noticed the place. They need white lettering or a fascia sign. My only gripe is I feel the sandwiches are $ 1-​$ 2 too expensive. If they were $ 8 I’d be more likely to be a regular. When you start talking $ 12 for an average sized sandwich and bag of chips it is borderline pricey.

Great spot. Quality ingredients. Everything I have tried has been well thought out and prepared. Really good size sandwiches. Not cheap, but I usually get soup and then save half the sandwich for the next day.

Delicious sandwiches– and it’s in my neighborhood.
A new addition to the Ohio City growing restaurant scene, I was pretty happy to see a sandwich place open up. Sometimes I just really want a hot solid fresh sandwich– and lo and behold, Herb n Twine appeared!
It’s a cute space– maybe 4 – 5 tables, and it was completely full when we went for a late lunch around 2pm on Saturday. I ordered the Korean fried chicken sandwich, he got the meatball sandwich, and we got a cup of tomato bisque to top it off (hey, why not).
First of all– the BREAD. They use delicious, thick, crunchy bread– none of that soft, soggy, falling apart bread– the bread they use is good quality. It almost reminded me of banh mi bread– but slightly different. Nonetheless, the bread was delicious.
Second– the ingredients are fresh. Delicious and fresh!
We were actually surprised how big our sandwiches were too. They were both very flavorful– I had kind of wanted my Korean fried chicken to be spicy (bc, well, most Korean anything is), which it was not, but it was still good. His meatball sandwich was really good meat as well.
The tomato bisque was delcious too– not too salty (which, being more of a broth soup kind of person, I personally dislikes super salty soups, so theirs was GREAT), which even came with almost garlic like type of bread croutons. I’m not sure what they were, but they sure were delicious in our soup!
Overall, I really liked this place for a solid sandwich– if you’re looking for a quick and solid sandwich shop– deflinitely stop by Herb n Twine.

Stopped in for lunch with my roommate. I got the grilled cheese and he got the veggie sandwich, and we both are half of each. It’s super refreshing for a veggie sandwich to have what seems like really well thought out flavor combinations, which doesn’t usually happen. The grilled cheese was to die for. I am going to go here instead of Melt from now on.

Hellz to the yeah! Such great flavors! I know people have been raving about the Porchetta ($ 9.50), but I thought the Smoked Turkey Club ($ 10) was better. Each sandwich comes with half a pickle, and these babies are done just right with a crisp crunch and a slight dill flavor. I personally believe you should alternate bites of sandwich with bites of pickle mmm. I’d say the sandwiches are about 6 – 7 inches in length with a decent amount of fillings, but I’d probably recommend rounding out the meal with a side of soup or one of their salads. The Tomato Bisque ($ 4) with blue cheese croutons was smooth and tasty. The Kale Caesar ($ 5.50) is simple and satisfying especially if you get it with the buttermilk parmesan dressing. They also sell Graham Pretzel Fudge Bars ($ 3) if you’re craving a dessert.
There was ample free street parking when I went, and once inside you’re greeted by a friendly lady working the counter. Here she’ll tell you how they try to get as many ingredients locally as they can, and they make as much as they can in-​house. I’m talking the bread, dressings, soups, etc. Always love to hear/​see/​taste that!
I’d definitely try this place out again. My only slight issue is that $ 15 for a sandwich and side seems a little pricey. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tasty good meal, but no large portions nor super exceptional ingredients to warrant the price in my opinion. For $ 10 you can get 3 tacos and a side at Bomba, or a fried chicken dinner at Chow Chow, and for $ 12 you can get a burger and fries at Jammy Buggars. I think to make Herb n’ Twine more of a regular stop than a once in a while treat, they’d need to throw in some meal deal specials or buy one get one half off coupons. (Don’t roll your eyes at me, I’m a financial analyst by trade, I can’t help it!)
Overall, happy with my experience and I hope to see some homemade pasta or potato salad sides on the menu in the future.

Sandwiches were designed for people on the run eating like N.O.R.E of Capone N Noreaga. Herb ‘n Twine is in part of the old Speak In Tongues building on Lorain. I have weird memories of Speak in Tongues and it is odd to step back into that building. I don’t need to be eating bread much because my gut will be doughy like the bread. You are what you eat. The salads look good and next time I will order that. I had two sandwiches for New Years Eve. I anticipated a rough night and needed to soak up the alcohol. The porchetta served cold while eating it drunk was one of the best sandwiches that I have had in recent memory.

Yum! Stopped in kind of at the end of the day and they were very gracious about making my sandwich. I had the house salad— loved the green olive tapenade and the house dressing. I also had the grilled cheese with fig spread and smoked bacon. Delicious! I’ll be back.

I went in for lunch today and was excited to try the porchetta after my friend raved about it. They were out (this was post-​lunch rush); I was disappointed but there were plenty of other options that I also wanted to try. I ended up with the Italian and a chop salad and very much enjoyed both!
They felt bad for running out of porchetta (probably because I looked like a sad puppy dog when they told me), so they sent me off with a sample of what they had left over (the butt-​end, as I think he described it) with all of the fixings. It was a very kind, thoughtful gesture that I will not soon forget. I can’t wait to come back to try the rest of the menu!

My family and I stopped in for lunch. Everyone devoured their sandwiches and I loved my chop salad and tomato bisque soup (with blue cheese croutons — yum!) The service was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. Love this new spot in Ohio City.
