Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

The Cajun salmon melt was delicious, a lot of good flavors and textures in the sandwich. However, I was hoping for a little bigger sandwich given the price ($13). Service was a little slow, but it’s understandable given it was football day and there were a lot of customers.

No matter what you order it will be tasty! Love that you can order half and half on the sweet potato and traditional french fries. They have seating upstairs and downstairs. Prices are reasonable. Its always busy but they get food out fast! Dont forget to grab a sweet treat when you are there!

If you are looking for a delicious sandwich, look no further than Nodo. Both the downtown and the North Side location are 20/10 🤌🏻 I've been enjoying this establishment since I moved here (2015) and it's excellent. Every. Single. Time. Ham and Mango is a fan favorite. I literally crave this sandwich. It's buttery, chewy, perfectly crisp on the edges sourdough bread with juicy, sweet and salty ham, mango, and gooey cheese. Do I have photo evidence? Probably not because I can't wait that long to dive in. My husband enjoys the burger, and the bacon. My parents love the C&P. During the 2020/2021 closures, this was regular lunch takeout and I tried almost everything on the menu. It's all very good but the ham and mango will always be my default. We always order one regular and one sweet potato fry. The aioli is perfection. The cookies are huge and sweet. Big enough to split but no obligation to do so ;) I don't have anything negative to say about this place. The building is a bit eclectic, but that's part of the charm. The downtown location does have the trouble of parking. It's worth it.
