We're in town for the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk - raising funds for suicide prevention and education. The next day we're of course exhausted, having been up all night, napping during the day. We're tired, we're hungry, we're in an AirBnB and we don't want to go anywhere. What do we do? We turn to our handy Yelp app and search for well rated places that deliver to us in Brookline. Once again, fellow Yelpers, you come through for the community.
We ordered on the app, which was pretty darn easy to do. Both of us get different kinds of hot hoagies, er, subs, er, whatever you call them up in Beantown. Lion ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich and I go for the meatball. We get an order of fries. Done. This is delivery via a 3rd party service so we figure that it will take a little longer than usual, and it does, probably about 45-50 minutes later our driver arrives with food. Yay!
Now, given the amount of time it took, and likely we weren't the only driver's stop, the food was in reasonable shape. The fries were on the cold side but the sandwiches were still quite warm and, being well packaged, not leaking gravy, er, sauce all over the bag.
We dig in, both are quite satisfying and a generous portion to boot. Rolls hold up well under the meat and gravy. The fries are typical foodservice, and being on the cold side are just 'meh'. I understand economics, really I do, and I have a choice when I order from a restaurant that uses a 3rd party delivery service. I think they would serve themselves well to have their own, rapid delivery, particularly for locations extremely close by as we were (3 - 4blocks away). Caveat emptor.
Overall it was a very good experience, and we would order from them again the next time we're in Boston. Next time though we will likely muster the energy to pick up.
