  1. Having conversations with mama, cause shes the dearest.

    Drive In is conveniently located close to the Graham train stop. Walked in was greeted right away by the owner. Super friendly guy, was flexible to make any sandwiches to my preference.

    Though they are a sandwich shop, I'm really glad they offer two options of vegan sandiwches. Ordered the Mommy dearest. Bread was super toasty and crunchy. Cucumbers were seasoned but the gauc!! There's a lingering taste of the gauc after every bite. Really enjoyed the sandwich, cost around $9.

    Definitely stopping by this place again to try the other sandwiches.

  2. I had the down by law (which is a movie i've never heard of, wikipedia describes it as a "film centers on the arrest, incarceration, and escape from jail of three men. It discards jailbreak film conventions by focusing on the interaction between the convicts rather than on the mechanics of the escape") which was a solid sandwich. It's a mix of turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, and cheese on fluffy sourdough. Bread makes a sandwich and this bread is good.

    I'd definitely go back to try some of their other fairly creative choices.

  3. You will not leave this place unsatisfied. The owner, chef, maitre d', and cashier was the same guy. Have a problem? He'll take care of you.
    Good service, friendly staff, tasty and unique sandwiches, good chip selection too. They could use a diet soda selection, but I'm not complaining 🙂

  4. I Had the Buena Vista social club which is an incredible turkey ham Cuban sandwich. This sandwich was sinfully packed with authentic Cuban flavor. I can only imagine how the other sandwiches in the menu taste. I need to come back next week.

  5. Greasy sandwiches and movies are two of my favorite things ever, so I was excited to try this new little spot with a movie-inspired menu of sandwiches and sides.

    All of the sandwiches (Feature Presentations), sides (Shorts) and desserts (Credits) are named after movies or related terminology.

    We went with The Natural ($6), which is their version of a grilled cheese, and the Back To The Future ($12).

    The grilled cheese was pretty delicious, the super gooey, melty kind, on a fluffy, crispy sourdough bread. The Back To The Future on the other hand was not great. Consisting of roasted turkey, turkey bacon, cheddar, an over easy egg and "srirachup" (?), the baguette it was all placed on was the major problem. The bread felt like it was straight from the supermarket, with no real taste or texture that was enjoyable. Also, everything here seem to have turkey bacon on it. It's not like the stuff is healthy or meat-free, so they should really just do the right thing and use real bacon to vastly improve these sandwiches.

    We also got The Usual Suspects ($4.25), which are their fries. We got them Cajun style, and they are served in a Chinese takeout container, which might actually have made them worse, as the first few were decent and crispy, but they quickly became super soggy and unpleasant. I kinda wanted to get The Ghostbusters, because I like that movie, but I didn't want to get it because it was mashed potatoes.

    Lastly, we tried one of the desserts, which was extra disappointing given how good it sounded: The Peanut Butter Solution ($7), consisting of peanut butter, chocolate, bananas and that damn turkey bacon again, on french toast. There wasn't enough peanut butter and the bread was really weak again, and the turkey bacon of course wasn't doing anybody any favors.

    This was a real missed opportunity, as the possibilities are endless with cool things to do with sandwiches and junk food related to movies, and the food here just misses the mark.
