My friend and I were going out for lunch today. We usually go to the Dog house once a week. After getting out of the car, we noticed that Rascals had a few cars in their lot. So we decided to check it out. When we entered Rascals we couldn't help but notice the wonderful smell. Something like my mothers kitchen (she was a great cook). It made us both look at each other, and say "I want that for lunch!". We were told that they officially open for lunch in two weeks. They are still making adjustments to the menu. It was counter service. They call it fast casual. You go to the front counter, order, then pay. They give you a soda cup to fill yourself. Then they call your number, or in our case, an employee brought both our orders over to our table. I ordered the smoked turkey with chipotle mayo. My co-worker ordered the roast beef with pepper jack cheese. I must say, we were both very happy with our selections. I was even told they oven roast all meats here. The owner was in the kitchen, but found time to walk around the dinning room. I had asked how the show was? He said he is grateful for the fresh, clean start, and asked if I would like a mini tour? We had a few minutes, so we did. He took us thru the kitchen, which I must say was spotless. We then walked out to the patio. Wow, is all I could say. The outdoor patio is a hidden gem! I can definitely see it getting packed on the weekends with people eating crabs, and barbecue. We thanked him for the tour, and wished them tons of good will. I am planning to return for dinner (they add dinner shift in two weeks) with my Father. He loves crabs, and I know he will go head over hills when he cracks them on Rascals patio. He lives 5 minutes away. All in all, we loved their sandwiches. The place is super clean, and the help is very nice. We will return. Give them a try.
