I stopped into The Little Village Grill as it was conveniently located across the street from my hotel, and I was NOT disappointed! As soon as I got in line, which stretched out the door, I was immersed in the fantastic smells that come from fantastic deli food and grilled onions. Everything about this restaurant is fantastic. The industrial decor is accented with bright, fresh, local art, giving it an ambience of relaxed happiness. All of the staff was smiling ear to ear and made pleasant conversation. I ended up sitting with one on his break and we chatted about how well decorated the restaurant is and other current events. The music playing was up beat and happy and not too loud.
I ordered The Little Village sub on wheat, a large Greek Salad, and a side of Greek potato salad which I'd never heard of. The sub struck me as a lighter, updated version of a Philly Cheesesteak. The lettuce and tomatoes cut the heaviness of the perfectly seasoned and cooked beef. It had an unidentifiable sauce that added the perfect hint of sweetness and complimented the provolone cheese very well. I'm not sure if it was a sauce or just the juices from the meat and cheese flowing together with the grilled onions, but it was divine. The bread was toasted to perfection and didn't get soggy in the slightest.
The Greek salad was a perfectly quintessential Greek salad with plenty of red onion and kalamata olives. The acidity and freshness of the salad was a fantastic way to cut through the savoryness of the sandwich.
The Greek potato salad was perfectly textured, with hearty chunks of potatoes cooked to perfection and layered with feta cheese and red wine vinegar, to make a sour potato salad that had a serious zing to it.
And the prices were unbeatable. My sandwich was under 7 dollars, and it almost certainly earns its new place as the best sandwich that I have ever had for the money.
If you want a fantastic meal with fast, friendly service, at a fantastic price, The Little Village Grill is a must try!
