Gift Tips
- Order the Hot Roast Pork sandwich with a side of au jus for dipping — it’s a signature item and a satisfying, savory choice.
- Share an order of the beer-battered onion rings with chipotle ranch; they’re thick, hand-breaded, and a great starter to split.
- Try the 109 Chestnut Chicken or the Hot Honey Chicken for well-balanced, flavorful sandwich options — ask for the bread fresh and warm.
- Explore the rotating local craft beer selection on draft or in cans to pair with sandwiches and burgers.
- If the place is busy, sit at the bar for quicker service and friendly recommendations from bartenders like Jennifer or Carrigan when they’re working.
