I tried Bluegrass for the first time last night & ordered the Perfect Chicken and loved it, absolutely loved it. It was very tasty & I liked it much better than the chicken provolone panani I had at Soho's. I did end up getting the last of the chicken and it was only 8pm. My friends & I thought that was a little odd. I thought the price and portion sizes were great. I don't think we should complain too much about places like this or they will end up closing and we'll be stuck with Wendy's down the block!

Cleanliness is not in their vocabulary. The food is unmemorable - the hippie atmosphere a bit grating - and the staff is not very helpful. It will probably be open for years... If it was really good it would have already closed. We are so used to mediocrity we seek it out now. This place is brought to you by the same people who brought you the Empty Glass for years.

The portions are right on if you ask me and I've never had a sandwich that resembles anything Phyllis describes (thankfully). I agree the service is hit or miss, but it remains a local fave.

Perhaps they're taking the laid back hippie vibe a bit too far. I can't really complain about the portion sizes though. When I seek quantity over quality, I order Chinese.

I have to say that I have kind of a bad habit of not paying too much attention to prices, unless I don't like my meal. When I'm dissatisfied with my meal, I of course find myself saying "<I>How much</I> did I pay for that?" If the food is really good, don't generally care how much I paid, unless it's clearly overpriced. I went to Bluegrass Kitchen after a first-time mediocre experience, not really expecting too much, and I got a super delicious sandwich that filled me up for seven bucks, which seemed like a steal considering how much I liked it. It seems like the current verdict on this place is a solid hit-and-miss. I hope they can get their act more consistently together. The fact that they own the building rather than leasing it probably means they have a better chance of staying open. Of course, maybe they could use the extra motivation to be better.

The food isn't expensive, but nor is it reasonable, particulary for the small portions. The service is incredibly slow and the last time I was there with a group of mates, the waiter griped at us for not initially telling him we would all pay separately. We had told him twice, one of the times resulting in nearly the same arguement. As for quality, the chicken sandwhich is near perfect by my tastes and the meatball sub...drool...

The food is not very good, the service is terrible and I don't know what you all do for a living, but for the portion size I think the prices are too high. I gave the place 3 chances and every time the service was awful and the food was mediocre. I won't go back, which is too bad since it is in such a convenient location.

As far as 'not authentic Italian', it doesn't really matter to me, as long as its good. Now, if the place was called Mama Mascalzone's House of Traditional Italian Comestibles it might be a bit more important.
