A reader sent me a tip about Elwood’s Shack, a new restaurant in the old Pizza Shack next to the Lowe’s at Perkins and Summer.
Elwood’s Shack — named for the Blues Brother character and opened 15 days ago by restaurant vets and fishing buddies Scott Scheno and Tim Bednarski — serves breakfast and lunch, and while the menu is still in flux, as it stands now, it’s quite extensive, serving everything from sandwiches (meatball subs, reubens, the vegetarian Going Back to Cali), barbecue (barbecue nachos, beef brisket, etc.), and pizza (traditional pepperoni, Elwood’s Meat with country ham, bacon, sausage, and meatballs …).
I ordered a grilled cheese, a classic made with American cheese, with a side of potato salad (very good). Hannah opted for a roast beef sandwich (above), which came stacked with house-made roast beef.
The two sandwiches with drinks and a side came to about $14. Can’t beat that.
Elwood’s shack is open Monday-Friday, 6 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday, 7 a.m.-2 p.m.
