Cheeky Sandwiches is a New Orleans-styled sandwich joint that serves a variety of sandos. the interior is a welcoming, worn-in, and has a quirky charm to it. there's one small table toward the front and a bunch of seats along the lunch counter. the space works well for solos, couples, and small groups. need a larger space for a bigger group? there are plenty of public seating options within walking distance. the menu is mostly sandwiches (the are some vegetarian options) as well as a couple of desserts choices. just soft drinks, no adult beverages...it's all about comfort food calories! despite being somewhat of a 'hole-in-the wall"--don't judge this book by its cover bc you will miss out on that NOLA experience in NYC.
got the half and half po' boy--1/2 fried oysters + 1/2 fried shrimp, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo (maybe remoulade), and hot sauce. this seafood po' boy definitely has the crunch of the fried seafood and crispy veggies. it is a nice mice of flavors from the seafood to the kick of the hot sauce. the french roll is nice and airy on the inside, soaking up the other flavors (though it is missing that crispy outside that most po' boys traditionally have). the po' boy is really small. wish Cheeky's used a wide and bigger french roll (size does matter, sometimes! lol) and stuffed it accordingly with more shrimp and oysters as this sandwich is gone before you know it. i would definitely pay more if they made it much bigger as it is a tasty, flavorful rendition of a NOLA po' boy. it costs $8.50 + tax + tip.
the service is superfriendly and chill. the people who work here definitely have a nice vibe that resonates through this...
Read moreUsed to love this place but after the experience I just had I don't think we'll be going back. Ordered three sandwiches and waited thirty minutes only to watch everyone who had come in after us get their food and leave. When I finally brought it up to the guy, he got mad at me then gave me the wrong order. Threw together the right order and basically tossed the bag at me. My son wanted a ginger ale so I asked for one, only to have the guy keep getting that wrong too (in an angry way). My son had trouble opening the bottle (because he's a little guy), and asked him to open it, but he shoved it back at him and told him to twist it off. I pointed out we hadn't paid so he shoved the card thing without even turning it toward me and walked off. I should have not paid really because the food totally wasn't worth it. The oysters we're drenched in hot sauce (I guess Mr. Angry's revenge), cold and encased in a thick wall of overfried batter, while the pork chop was slathered in mustard and tasted basically of vinegar (my poor son hated it). Luckily, the sandwiches seem to have shrunk to the size of sliders. I guess they've stopped the nice little lagniappe of beignets with your order too Oh well, this was a nice little neighborhood place while it lasted. I just hope none of...
Read moreThis is where you can get some authentic New Orleans style sandwiches. The storefront was simple, but cozy and welcoming. The inside was narrow and small, with some counter seating and one table seating.
We were there for breakfast, pretty early, so it was not busy yet. I ordered their Chicken Sandwich, and was very happy to see the sandwich when it came out hot out the oven! Looked great! And it tasted even better than it looked. It had delicious gravy, perfectly fried chicken, and the biscuit…oh my, it was awesome!
My hubby ordered the Sea Sandwich. The great thing about this one is that you could also do 1/2 and 1/2! Of course, we picked that option and got 1/2 Shrimp po’boy and 1/2 oyster po’boy. Fried shrimp one was spicy! Had a really nice kick to it, which I enjoyed. The fried oyster was super crispy! I loved that, no soggy part, and really fresh too.
Another awesome thing about Cheeky Sandwich is that with the order of sandwiches, you get complimentary mini beignets!!! And even better, they understand some people might not know how to pronunciation it, so, they named it “Ben-Yay’s” on their menu!
The staffs were very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We had a really nice breakfast, we and our...
