"This trendy shop slings generous sandwiches from inside Olde Kensington’s Human Robot. While its standard menu features an Italian-style pulled pork sandwich made with broccoli rabe and roasted long hots, it also offers a stellar barbecue roasted pork sandwich topped with dill pickles and served on a Sarcone’s roll, which makes the occasional appearance as a special." - George Banks-Weston
"Occasionally, we get sick of spending time at restaurants with trendy ingredients we’ve never heard of. During those times, we welcome the simplicity of knowing where to get a simple, delicious sandwich. One of those places is Poe’s Sandwich Joint in Kensington, and we have a love affair brewing with their Uncle Tony. It combines hand-trimmed ribeye, sautéed onions, spicy pepperoncini relish, and an orange American whiz sauce sweet enough to perfectly balance the salty ribeye. Although some elements remind us of a traditional cheesesteak, the relish and cheese sauce make it a tangy, citrusy feast. From the ingredients alone, we knew this would be a great sandwich. And after one bite, the hefty combo proved us right. " - candis mclean
"Poe’s Sandwich Joint in Kensington is the kind of place where you’ll struggle to walk away with less than four sandwiches per person. Located inside Human Robot, they have lots of ingredients for their crispy cutlet sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and inventive vegetarian options, and they somehow all work beautifully. Plus, each one has quality individual elements, like citrusy whiz sauce, hand-pulled mozzarella, and juicy, thinly shaved oven-roasted chicken. Along with some of the neighborhood’s best sandwiches, you can also get loaded fries topped with roast pork, scallions, or crumbled bits of salty bacon to pair them with.

"This brewery and sandwich shop partnership is a match made in heaven, where Human Robot’s award-winning lagers (like the Czech 10, a Czech-style pale lager) and IPAs (like the hoppy Single Axis: Mosaic) can be enjoyed alongside Poe’s Sandwich Joint’s larger-than-life sandwiches (try the Birdman made with chicken cutlet, sharp provolone, parmesan, and broccoli rabe)." - George Banks-Weston
