Shockingly Good
Oh that Roasted Pork sandwich!!!! This is a very small 10 seater narrow eatery serving all scratch made, locally sourced food items (mainly sandwiches).
This is simple review where we ordered one amazing item. The Capicola Roast Pork. A crafted sandwich on a wonderful crusted fresh artisan ciabatta roll with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe.
Absolutely delicious. Now the place does make other great sandwiches, but this is the one to order.
One drawback is the sandwich is a bit small and will run you about 13 bucks, but it's worth it.
Next time I visit Brooklyn, I'm going back. So good.
Thanks
The pork sammie with provolone is out of sight! I wanted to try the other sandwiches as well as a couple of salads. Great menu! The atmosphere is kind of like a coffee café, with a funky kick to it.
Great community cafe restaurant owned by a wonderful family who has generously opened their doors to everyone-mommies, students, professionals. Food is awesome! Coffee delicious. Service wonderful. It's the perfect morning afternoon spot to relax or work:) Fir the vegetarians reading this-I love the veggie burger (get it on a roll) and the scones. The eggplant sandwich rocks. Enjoy!
Nice lil spot – a family vibe in here, lots of little babies! Wasn't my first choice as there aren't as many vegetarian options in the menu, but the cauliflower steak sandwich was delish. Cauliflower hot off the grill with hard boiled egg and watercress, yes please. Nice combination of flavors on grill-toasted grain wheat bread (didn't seem like focaccia to me, which was what the menu indicated, but it's all good).
I like the guys who work here, they were sweet and considerate. The only complaint I have is that the food took a pretty long time, and we were in a bit of a hurry, so be prepared to wait. Fairly expensive: $12 for the cauliflower steak sandwich with no sides. Recommended for its uniqueness.
Tony and I took a Zip car to Home Depot this weekend and got to explore areas of Brooklyn we don't get to very often. So, when it was time for lunch, we pulled out Yelp! and saw that Stocked had some good reviews. The rest of the story appears below…
People on Yelp! have raved over the Stocked Capicola pork sandwich, which I ordered… and, sure, it was OKAY. However, it did not change my life. In fact, it was super oily and bland-ish. I wish I had thought to add deli mustard to the sandwich because it seriously needed some flavor help. Tony tried the fried chicken sandwich, which featured a fried patty made of ground chicken (like a crab cake but made with chicken instead of crab). He described it as tasty enough but complained of the small portion size.
A few other disappointments to note:
1) Don't order diet coke is you're thirsty. It's one of those super small 8oz bottles.
2) The sandwich prices are expensive for the portion size
3) Although the restaurant is cute and modern looking inside, there is this giant kids' toy oven and kitchen set in the main dining area. What an eye sore! Oh, don't get me wrong because I love kids…. but this is the first time I've ever seen something like this in NYC.
The best menu item we tried was the Tater Tots. However, these weren't that hot, which was, of course, another disappointment.
Overall, I give his place 2 stars because I feel there are probably some good things about this place… and possibly I missed them. Also, the interior is inviting (except the tony kitchen set), and the staff was nice. Unfortunately, the rest just didn't add up for me.
One dish that tops them all, their tater tots! Okay, maybe you shouldn't just eat tater tots as a meal, but if you so decide to or decide to get them as a side, they're definitely a treat. They are a crisp and garlic-y perfection.
Aside from the delicious tater tots, their menu is generally healthy, home-y food. I've gotten their steel cut oats and eggs with kale/quinoa – these dishes definitely have more subtle flavours but I enjoyed them and leave Stocked feeling good and not regretting what I've eaten.
I came to Stocked looking for a good, above average sandwich for lunch the other day. Their menu is relatively small, offering a number of classics with a bougey twist, as well as a few vegetarian options including a cauliflower steak sandwich and an eggplant sandwich. I went for the house-made roast turkey w/ bacon aioli, tomato jam, and arugula, on a grilled baguette.
Holy. Jeebus. It was AMAZING. I was not expecting, nor prepared to eat one of the best sandwiches of my LIFE. It was a perfect marriage of ingredients; all complimenting one another and none of them out-shining the others. Kind of like the cast of Friends!
It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The roast turkey was $11 and I'm pretty sure the baguette it came on was at least 12-inches long. If you're small like me, you can save half of it for dinner 🙂
I did some quick reading on Stocked before coming and it looks to be family owned. The service is friendly, casual, and quick. They had some children's toys in the back, so they must be catering to the family crowd. Oh and there's free wifi.
In addition to sandwiches, they offer a few salads, a full coffee/espresso menu, and a number of breakfast items including homemade muffins, scones, and sandwiches that I must come back to try ASAP.
Really good sandwiches for lunch! It has a very local feel to it, which was great, and all the staff was very friendly. The type of place where i felt comfortable leaving my cell phone plugged in halfway across the store. There is outdoor seating in the back and ample seating inside.
Note that it's not great if you are in a rush, as you can tell that everything is made with care. Try the grilled chicken sandwich.
