For those in the know for Dallas
sandwich shops, I may be a bit late to the game but I finally tried out East Hampton Sandwich Co.
in Snider Plaza. A friend had the day
off, so we ventured there for a sandwich and some beer to celebrate the holiday. Touted as offering excellent gourmet
sandwiches, locally grown greens and a lively bar, East Hampton has become a
new local hanging. And now that I’ve been there I agree that the sandwiches,
salads and suds are all outstanding.
After sidling up to the bar and
ordering some Fireman’s 4 Blonde Ale, we decided to check out the menu. While not a large menu, everything at East Hampton sounded fantastic. They are
known for the lobster roll, but I wasn’t feeling something that rich in the
afternoon so I checked out some of the lighter options.
After some contemplation between
the lemon or honey chicken sandwich, I went with the Honey Grilled Chicken
Sandwich. Two perfectly grilled chicken
breasts were topped with fresh, locally-grown yellow tomatoes, grilled lettuce
and a honey bourbon mustard sauce. The
chicken itself was so fresh that it didn’t even need seasoning to cook. I was nervous about the idea of two chicken
breasts but none of the flavors overpowered each other. Grilled lettuce seemed like a weird idea but
rather than being wilted it still had a nice, crisp taste.

Thank goodness that no matter what
sandwich you order you still get the side of homemade potato chips. Thinly sliced, perfectly crisped and lightly
seasoned, I could have made an entire meal of those. I even dipped them in the side of honey
bourbon mustard for an awesome sweet and salty combination.
Overall, East Hampton is a great
place for a good sandwich, great chips and a chance to chill out with
friends. I can’t wait for next time to
try out the famous lobster roll and get some more of those amazing chips. A
