Spicy Green Gourmet

I stumbled across this hole in the wall thru Yelp of all places. A highly reviewed sandwich shop with really interesting sounding sandwiches that also offers a free cookie with your meal on Fridays?! I knew had to check them out (on a Friday of course). They had several sandwiches that sounded good but I narrowed it down to two: their fiesta turkey with pepper jack cheese and lime basil mayo and their fried brie with bacon, basil pesto and fig jam.I eventually settled on the fiesta turkey so you can imagine my disappointment when I got home and discovered they gave me the wrong sandwich. It was a rookie mistake not to check before leaving but still. I immediately called them and explained what happened and the woman I spoke to apologized profusely (especially after realizing this was my first time visiting). Since it was Friday and they had just closed (they close at 2pm), and weren't open on the weekends, she told me to come in on Monday and I'd get the right sandwich on the house.That was all well and good but I was hungry now and I had a sandwich, albeit the wrong one, staring me in my face. Not wanting it to go waste, I gave it a try. As luck would have it, after a couple bites I quickly realized it was the fried brie sandwich (the other one I wanted to try) and it was delicious! Very happy accident. The following week I went back and got the fiesta turkey. I enjoyed it, but the fried brie was the clear winner out of the two. The sandwiches are generously sized so you could definitely split it into two meals. All their sandwiches come with a side and I tried their pasta and potato salads. Admittedly I'm not a big pasta or potato salad person so it's hard for me to judge, but if you are I think you'd like them. Based on the way they handled the mix up, the quality of their sandwiches, and Free Cookie Friday, I'd definitely recommend this place.Pro tip: Get any sandwich on their signature focaccia. When it comes to sandwiches, the bread makes all the difference and their focaccia is really good.

Located in a shopping complex at the corner of Miami Blvd and TW Alexander is Spicy Green Gourmet. Initially, it's the restaurant name that peaked my interest. This is a typical RTP lunch spot that will be super busy during prime lunch hours. Luckily parking is plentiful in this complex. You walk in and find bright green walls and the line to order is to your left. The menu is just a paper menu and it is a sandwiches, wraps and salads type of fare.I went for the Chicken Philly Sub with a soda of chips and a drink, which comes out close to $12. The sub itself failed to impress as it just had strips of grilled chicken on it and it lacked flavor. Moreover, it was really just a half sub so the size given the price was disappointing. They do have a hot sauce station like Firehouse Subs, so I used that to jazz up my meal.The restaurant was clean, but the staff didn't really speak much when interacting at the register or when bringing the food to your table. In fact when ordering I was the only person in line and waited a few mins for someone to take my order. When I asked to add jalapenos, still no words uttered, just a push of a button and a blank look on the employee's face. Regardless, I will give this place another chance as other menu items did look appealing. Perhaps just an off day...I hope.

Great RTP lunch spot! A little out of the way but well worth the hunt. Amazing menu, daily specials, and a free cookie on Fridays!! Tip: Like most RTP places, this place gets very busy at the lunchtime. It's not a big place so get there early... no later than 11:45am if you want to be sure to get a table.OMG! I didn't even realize they were only open for three hours weekdays around lunch time! I wish they were open on the weekends.

Free cookie Fridays? It's true! This place has great sandwiches and beyond. Highly recommend the fried brie sandwich or grilled cheese. There are plenty of options for carnivores and vegetarians, plus it's centrally located in RTP.Sides are kind of meh, so I'd suggest just grabbing some chips.

This place is located in the stip mall behind the sheetz on tw alexander and miami blvd. Kind of tucked away with probably 8-10 other restaurants, so pretty good bet you will find something that you can gnaw on back there. This place had good reviews, so, what the heck, gotta do new to keep it fresh. Walking in however was annoying, just because there was a menu at the front railing that I was trying to read as to not hold up the line for regulars.... A freaking pair of suicide flies kept smacking me in the face. Was going to leave, but my wife wanted to check it out. The flies stayed by the door, thank god and didn't follow me to the table with my food. :). I had the pasta salad and spicy Mediterranean sandwich... IDK. Pasta salad was super bland, and mediterranean sandwich just didn't have that much flavor. The menu had a lot of options, though, and was relatively fast, so maybe just something else, if I'm in the area again. Not much, unfortunately for me to say positive, about this particular meal.

Thanks to the trusty search feature on yelp, I stumbled across Spicy Green Gourmet. I was very happy to see such an extensive menu, although with so many choices, it was hard for me to choose.I love a good bahn mi, so I decided on that sandwich. And just like the true southerner I am, I chose the potato salad as my side. I work close by, so I called ahead & was told 20 minutes. When I arrived in 10 minutes, my order was waiting on me. However, because it was lunch time, there was a line, sadly one I had to wait it. Thankfully, I only waited about five minutes & was able to pay & be on my way. The restaurant is cheery & employees seemed happy to be there. The place was hopping, so that was a good sign this place serves up tasty goodness. I returned to work & ate my sandwich & potato salad. The potato salad had red potatoes in it, with the skin still on - not what I'm used to, but still ok. It tasted mustard & mayo based, which I love those two together. The bahn mi was quite delicious with a simple slaw, pork, cucumbers, & Asian dressing. The pork was tender & spicy. The baguette was decent.For the portion size, the price of $8.61 was fine with me. With such variety on the menu, I'll definitely be back. Parking wasn't much of an issue, even though there are many businesses/restaurants in this area.

Nom nom nom... oh sorry... just stuffing my face with goodness! Came here with co-workers for the first time and wasn't expecting much so I was pretty floored. My new favorite work lunch spot. Buffalo chicken cheese something sandwich with hot sauce, pasta salad and cookie (Free cookie Friday, its really a thing! and they don't side stare at you when you might take two cookies, you know, for you AND your healthy co-worker who walked off without one :)

I ordered the special which was the grilled chicken wrap with avocado, ranch dressing, provolone cheese and mango habanero. I had potato salad for my side and the kids ordered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with fresh fruit. Prices are decent and the portion sizes are decent also. I probably should've went with another menu item.

Very fresh and delicious. Once again, one of those great RTP restaurants that closes early, so no dinner options :-( Next time I am back on Miami Blvd., will definitely be there again!

Tried to go here today (June 4 2019). Currently closed for renovations so unable to review. Just letting others know since yelp says it is opened Rating means nothing here since I was unable to try it
