Editorial Review for Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop – by Allison Austin
The Scene
During the lunch rush, two cooks and one counter guy scramble to put orders together while the phone rings off the hook. Most of those calls are delivery or takeout orders. The restaurant, which moved from a smaller space next door, now seats small groups comfortably, but it's still a mostly takeout affair.
The Food
Almost every sandwich has a vegetarian counterpart, and often it's as good or better than the meaty original. In fact, the Big Mack Daddy--a veggie burger topped with tofu bacon and all the fixings on a brioche bun--is probably the best veggie burger in the city. Meat eaters should grab a grilled chicken po' boy, all warm and cheesy, or the Spicy Rizzak--turkey, bacon, cheese and spicy mayo on a hefty hero, served hot or cold. Soups are homemade daily and rely heavily on seasonal inspiration.

Their food is good, the prices are pretty decent. The Big Mack Daddy is good and seems healthy! In the past few months they've gotten better at not being rude, and actually answering the phone, so now I go there more. They must have gotten rid of those stupid hipsters!
Pros: Tasty, easy, options
Cons: Sometimes rude but not recently

I've been living on the LES for 9 years, and have always loved Tiny's. Decent sandwiches and salads, cheap and convenient. In a neighborhood full of jam packed restaurants, Tiny's was the quick, painless and satisfying antidote. But I think little Tiny has gotten too big for its own britches. I agree with some of the other reviewers...business ethic/service has sort of slipped recently. Since they moved, nobody ever answers the phone--they used to be to the go-to delivery place in the hood...not any more. Wish we could have the old Tiny's back! Perhaps it's just a sign of the times in the LES.
