Uncle Cheetah's

So here is a quick little update about trying Uncle Cheetah's a couple of weekends back with Mel. My youngest brother Taylor suggested we try it after we told him we had gone to Electric Cheetah.


This is our lunch. Mel got the Havarti Dill soup and I got the brisket chili.  Our sandwich was the Lunchbox sandwich. Mel's soup was really good. The cheese and dill pairing was good and the soup was the perfect temperature to start eating right away. It was cheesy without being too thick and the dill was front and center without being overbearing. She got the pretzel roll to go with her soup. It was great choice. It had a great pretzel flavor and was soft and "moist", as opposed to hard and dry. It soaked up the soup nicely, yet held its integrity.
The chili was scorching hot. As in a temperature high enough to turn solid rock to liquid, not chili pepper hot. The flavor was good though, with little pieces of brisket through out. It wasn't the best chili ever but it was good. It was just a shame it was so hot. I mean, we were eating for like 45 minutes and the little bit left in the bottom was still steaming hot when I finished. I got the challah bread. It was also just ok. It was kind of dry and didn't really have a ton of flavor to it.
The sandwich was loaded with pulled pork. It was bookended by cheese bread and then pressed in a panini.  inside, along with the pork, was cheddar, onions, and pickles. Everything was classic pairings that work. The bread was a little greasy from the press, but the fact it was overflowing with meat is what sets this apart from many other similar sandwiches. Was it the best sandwich ever? No. But it has great value for what you pay.
Was this the best eatery I have ever been to? No not really. It probably isn't close either. But what it does it does well. And that would be soup and sandwiches. For a quick-stop, soup and sandwich spot in East Town it is really good. I recommend it for quick stops or lunch, but I don't know if I would make plans for dinner there.
