Meat & Co

I was driving from NY to Boston Logan, and was in desperate need of a deli sandwich. I checked Unilocal and figured if a sandwich shop is named «Meat & Co» it must be good. I ordered the Reuben and it was so good I started to worry that I might die before I finished the last bite. Thankfully I lived to spread the word.

The idea of this place is to have a no frills but unique sandwich experience. It is an offshoot of 116 Crown. This was my second visit. I brought along a couple of friends. Two of us shared a couple of sandwiches;
The Revenge of Mr. Jeremy Fisher
smoked trout, pea tendrils, pickled radish, ladybird dressing
Uncle Orie (cubano)
#hotfire walden hill ham, brie, tomato, garlic bread
The sandwiches tastes pretty good but for $ 10 they need to be much better. In today’s market you need to have a whole grain bread. We have great bakeries in New Haven so there’s no excuse. The garlic bread with the Uncle Orie wasn’t very garlicky. Additionally, we wanted the special on the board which was a smoked whitefish but upon ordering were told it was last week’s special and they were out. This was on a Tuesday and they said the specials go Wednesday to Wednesday. Lastly, no diet soda and out of chips. The person making my the sandwiches was the manager. She didn’t seem to care that much about the shortfalls making it seem like the norm. Not a good thing for long term survival. Just not a very comfortable experience.

Some of the best sandwiches in New Haven, and some of the best food you can possibly get after midnight (on weekends). The tots are a bit of a gimmick as they aren’t [consistently] made to order, but other than that you can’t really go wrong.
This place can be a little addictive… especially if you’re prone to getting the drunchies. I think they have beer and wine available now and you can bring drinks from 116 Crown (sister business next door) out to the patio when it’s open. Good times!

Gourmet sandwiches that are pretty good but nothing overly exciting. Rudy’s has similar sandwiches but they also add on fries to their order.
