Taste of the Town

Fast and nice service. First time there and was happy with my lunch. My colleague raves about this place…“Consistent, fresh, tasty, friendly… etc.”

Meeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr.
Thats how I feel about this place.
Nothing special but nothing I hate either. Across the board everything I’ve had is pretty average. Pretty much the only reason I would ever go here is because I am walking by it or the other places in the area are packed. The staff is nice and attentive but overall the food is somewhat lacking

I used to go here a lot when I worked right across the street. There’s a good selection of sandwiches and soups. The meats are usually pretty good. They tend to throw their signature salad mix into a lot the wraps and sandwiches. I personally don’t like this, so I usually ask not to have it.
They’re good about any changes you want to make. The sandwiches are a little small for the price, but overall if you want to grab and go, it’s not a bad place.

Sandwich Commandments.
Be critical. Ask questions of the sandwich. Raise the bar. Settle for nothing less than perfect because it’s within your grasp, you fucking asshole! It’s there for you to touch, for you to feel with your own two hands! What is wrong with this sandwich? Does it need more mustard? Start there. Start at the top and work your way down, because your sandwich is your life. Don’t throw it away, don’t sell it short, don’t fucking one slice of cheese, fucking one slice of bologna, wham bam thank you maam, suck it fuck it, no! This is your life we’re talking about, you only live once friend, so find the missing link!
Hm, I’d have to say the taste of the town is sort of reminiscent of tarragon chicken salad for me. Came here with some fellow working Unilocalers in the neighborhood for lunch, and was not disappointed. Tarragon chicken salad & LTO on an onion roll with a drink for a stiff $ 7, can’t complain. Really decent, not overdone and loaded with ridiculousness like roasted red peppers, garlic aioli, and olive tapanade. Simple. Perfect. Doable. We spent our time wisely debating the most overrated places to make whoopie and various other heinous topics that I will choose to leave out of this review for the sake of TMI. Our table neighbors didn’t seem to mind or pay much attention, although, maybe they just enjoyed our witty banter. ON THE TILT-​A-​WHIRL?! REALLY?!

I like sandwiches with names. Even if I hate 90 percent of the ingredients involved in making the sandwich, if you call it something catchy — I’m totally contemplating retraining my taste buds.
I had serious ordering anxiety while waiting in line. New Yorker? West Ender? No — Rancher? I ended up freaking and blurting out Chicken Parm at the last second.
Despite my inability to function when faced with more than two options, the chicken parm was good. It was hot, with a perfect cheese to sauce ratio, big enough to have fed two for lunch, and I scored the last sub of the day.

How did i not review Taste of Town? Its on 60 state street. Usual lunch joint. Great salads, sandwiches, there are tables inside, and there is some seating outside too. Not very crowded. Usually work people. They have good selection of breads and soup as well.

My office is in Faneuil Hall and thanks to my co-​workers, I found a great little place to get lunch when I’m too lazy to bring my own to work. And on top of that, it’s not inside Quincy Market, which for me is a wonderful thing. As most Bostonians already know, Faneuil Hall is filled with annoying tourists who not only take up space, but also refuse to move out of your way when you’re hungry and trying to get back to the office before your break is over. Nothing makes my blood pressure rise as high or as fast as when I used to walk through Quincy Market to get food and I would literally trip over a clueless woman from Omaha who can’t seem to look at menus and walk at the same time. I thought it was an unwritten rule that everyone walks to the right side of corridors, and if you choose to stop and look, you should move off to the side. However, Quincy Market seems to be a place where the tourists feel rules can be broken… and for that, I feel their faces should be broken.
ANYWAY…enough of my rant. So, TASTE OF THE TOWN. Apparently there are two other locations in addition to the one at 60 State (which is in the lobby of the tower)…they are 10 Post Office Sq & 125 Summer St. in Boston.
This little place is open for breakfast and lunch and according to their website, they also have catering. I think they have really great sandwiches which are all made fresh to order. They also have salads and other varieties of pasta available for customers, but I always stick with a nice, big, scrumptious sandwich.
They offer the usual sandwich options (with your choice of bread) like chicken salad, turkey, ham, etc… but I would trust this restaurant and order one of their «specialty» sandwiches because THEY KNOW HOW TO INVENT STUFF! My favorite so far has been the «Madison» which consists of turkey, ham, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, coleslaw, Russian dressing on light or dark rye… I get dark rye. There is a large list of specialty sandwiches to order from, so why not just rotate through until you find a favorite… ya know… like us fat kids do.
My Madison costs $ 6.25 which is well worth the price. I give this place 5 stars for several reasons… their sandwiches are delicious, their prices are fair for the area of the city it is in, they’re quick to make your food, and it saves me the burden of having to kill a tourist who probably deserved it anyway.
