Last Friday my boyfriend and I went to The Meatball Shop after hearing raves about it from everyone. Everyone I know was so surprised I hadn't been yet, so I had to change that status quickly.
Upon hearing that the wait was at least 1 hour and 45 minutes - we proceeded to head straight to the take out counter and get our sandwiches to go. Note - no sliders to go, you an only do the hero sandwiches.
No problem as I had already heard the spicy pork really was the must have meatball of choice. We went with one spicy pork and tomato sauce and one with parmesan cream sauce. I was partial to the parm cream sauce, but the tomato sauce is a pretty good classic choice as well. The meatballs were made to order - perfectly juicy and seasoned nicely. Not really spicy, just packed more of a punch than your usual ground meat.
Surprisingly the sandwiches weren't even that messy! Paired with the salad garnished with crisp sliced apples - for 9 bucks, this was a pretty good deal.
And definitely don't forget dessert - the ice cream sandwiches are amazing. Mix and match your favorite freshly baked cookie with your ice cream of choice. I went with espresso and chocolate chip cookies, while my boyfriend did the blackberry/raspberry with brownie cookie! Yum!!! And since the cookies are soft and fresh - the sandwich is pretty manageable to eat without it totally falling apart.
The worst thing about most ice cream sandwiches is a stale cookie. No chance of that here!
