THE DISH
Don't let the name fool you. There's much more than coffee served here, including 70 different sandwiches. Think grilled chicken breast, fried clam strips, hot dogs, Philly cheese steaks, wraps, subs, triple decker clubs, grilled melts, 1–pound Angus steak burgers, Boca burgers or one of their specialty BLTs.

The regular BLT ($4.75) has five bacon strips; then there's one with nine bacon strips ($6.25); or go for the ultimate in BLT with 18 strips of bacon ($9.25).

Sounds good, and it is, but when a light satisfying lunch is on my agenda, I get the grilled veggie salad ($5.95), that's a nice portion. Come early enough and you can watch the cook grill fresh zucchini, yellow squash, portabellos and bell peppers to top a fluffy pile of fresh mixed greens and tomatoes. The dressing choices include a thick balsamic with balanced vinegar and oil for rewarding flavor.

Grilled veggie fans can enjoy them in other ways, too: in a three–egg omelet (with home fries or tomatoes, $4.25), on an Angus burger ($6.25) or on a grilled chicken breast sandwich ($5.25).
