Burger was delicious and the fries were unique and tasty! My girlfriend and I enjoyed a casual date night at the high top table by the windows. Staff was friendly and the food didn't take long in spite of being very busy.
Only disappointment was they were out of prime rib for the sandwich but we the short rip sandwich instead and it did not disappoint!
My brother said the chicken thighs were the best fried chicken he'd had in a long time. I was happy to see plenty of options to change meat-based sandwiches to vegetarian or vegan meals. The dragon fries are bomb !!! Incredibly reasonable prices to boot.
This is a great place to eat sandwiches and the like. Quality food, not a lot of food for what you pay but prepared well. Presentation is very simple and cheap, however it fits well with the atmosphere. More of a self serve, friendly gathering sort of feel to it with a modern hipster kind of menu.
I eat food, ive eaten food all over the world, Michelin star to seedy street vendors that only the brave dare try. One star is earned for each of the following: service, quality of food, cost vs quantity ratio, presentation, ambiance. Trying to simplify ratings, the rating is relative to the area, not compared to the world.
Be prepared though- they are generally packed open to close, and rightfully so. So get there early so as to not get beat out by the crowd!
If you only have the opportunity to eat at one restaurant in the area- make it this one. Everything you can order is the best thing you could order, so just pick out an sandwich and enjoy. However, the *must* try is the dragon fries- I'm not sure what is in them, but it may as well be crack because they are that addicting!
I have not had a single item from the menu that I wouldn't eat again. The daily specials are amazing! I have followed them on Facebook to keep an eye on the daily specials and the new menu items that they are creating! It is a great atmosphere that gets really busy for lunch and supper! So be prepared to wait a little bit to get your food but it is well worth the wait!
I would recommend trying it to see if it is your sort of thing. Personally I wouldn't intentionally frequent it but its worth a shot to see if you would.
*EDIT* Been back a couple times since our first visit and Block 16 has easily become one of our favorite spots for a casual bite to eat. The food is excellent.
