I used to work in the area and I ate here a lot. I agree that they are not the best, although some days are better than others. I think they're pretty good when you compare them to their competiton in the area, but that's an awfully big qualifier. There just aren't that many good places for take out lunch downtown and one can only eat at Greek Deli so many times.

It may be a big qualifier, but you also need to play the hand your dealt. When I was working in the area recently I found myself coming here about once a week and always being satisfied. The employees are friendly, attentive and know how to put together a sandwich. They have an unusual and welcome variety of meats, toppings and condiments. This is a consistently above-average lunch spot that warrants a detour of up to 2-3 blocks if you're in the area and looking for a quick, moderately-priced lunch. As noted, for $1 you get chips and a can beverage to round out your meal with some salt and sugar.

Blue Duck has still got it, been there for dinner and brunch-with-the-in-laws in the past 3 months. Still making delicious, seasonal, rustic dishes that are extremely rich and somewhat pricey--with occasionally spotty service.

Howdy,

I've been a lurker for a good while and figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself after another friendly reminder email.

My wife and I live in the culinary sinkhole of Georgetown and are trying to explore as many of the eateries in less barren neighborhoods as possible--while spending well beyond our means. We also love to cook and we make dinner at home many nights but with our schedules and small kitchen generally keep things relatively simple.

I'm also a retired bartender (Rulloff's in Ithaca, NY) and novice homebrewer. Currently have an Imperial IPA bottled and another, slightly different Imperial IPA in primary--yes, I do love me some hops. Looking to expand our capacity so if anyone has any used brewing equipment for sale send me a PM.

Cheers,
