Stopped in here before Science After Hours at the Franklin Institute (a monthly 21+ gathering mixing science and alcohol...check it out). Cherry Street Tavern is only a couple blocks from the museum, and my boyfriend and I were looking for a quick bite before heading to the event.
The menu is very limited, but I don't hold that against a place as long as the few items they do offer are very good. After being greeted by our friendly server, we each got a beer and a hot Roast Pork Sandwich with provolone and long hots added. Overall I liked the sandwich and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The bread was phenomenal! So fresh and soft with a crisp exterior. However, by the time it got to me, one side of the roll was completely soaked through. I realize some people may like this but I have a strong aversion to soggy bread. If you're like me, I would recommend asking for the sandwich dry. I'll try this next time to see if it cuts down on the soggy factor.
Also on the sandwich were roast pork and provolone, which were both good, but I think I'd upgrade to the sharp provolone next time for more flavor. The long hots didn't do anything for me so I'd skip those in the future. When you get your sandwich, you'll be served horseradish on the side which I thought added a great boost of flavor.
Overall, this is a place I'd visit again for a quick beer or bite of food, especially if I had something planned at the Franklin Institute. Next time I may try their Hot Roast Beef, which everyone seems to rave about!
