My husband was scheduled to have an outpatient procedure at St. Joseph's across the street, so I scouted out places for a quick, healthy lunch. Sacks fit the bill nicely. It was a quick walk over. The dining room was full--all tables were claimed, though there were empty seats--but there was no line ahead. I ordered a Symphony and bought a bad of Fritos for my son. The cashier immediately told me there were cups for water over to one side; I really appreciated that she brought that up before I could ask!\n\nI stood off to one side to wait. A huge mass of people came in. I was impressed with how quickly the cashier took orders and how fast the kitchen was completing them. My sandwich was done in five minutes!\n\nWe went out to the patio, which was almost totally empty. It was a hot day, about 108 forecast for the high, but the patio was completely shaded and quite comfortable. I felt like I'd found a top secret hidey hole. \n\nThe Symphony sandwich was good. It reminded me of the kinds of sandwiches I used to make when I was a kid! It wasn't gourmet or fancy, but it didn't need to be, and it sure was a lot fresher, better, and healthier than what it offered by fast food places. \n\nI wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Sacks, but the menu is diverse, the food is good, and it's always nice to know of reliable places like this. Plus, you get a chocolate chip cookie with your meal. That's always a nice touch.
