Reviews

We had a party of 10 on August 24, and we also took sandwiches home.
One the sandwiches once opened at home only had grilled onions and cheese no meat.
When I called and spoke to a manager he was only willing to give me a sandwich for the inconvenience.
He also said if I didn't except just that he wouldn’t provide anything.
We spent over $400 that night and had plenty of events there.
I will no longer be patronizing this business due to poor customer service and the very bad attitude of the manager.


Merichka's is one of those places locals have a special place in their heart for; they grew up with it and love it.
The atmosphere is 50's kitch.
There are several dining rooms and a circa 1940s bar.
Other patrons heard we were new to the restaurant and told us we had to get the Poorboy "...it's what Merichka's is known for." It turns out their Poorboy Steak is ground beef plank (a long rectangular patty) on garlic bread served with pickles and lettuce for $14.
We also got their Icelandic Cod sandwich (we chose baked over fried) for $15.
We also had the Combo Appetizer- onion ring and fried mushrooms for $13.
Both sandwiches are available on a plate (choice of potato or steamed vegetables and a salad) for $23 and $26, respectively.
That is $10 for a vegetable and salad, if found that high.
Dinners are also available for an additional $4 to the plate price (dinners add a relish tray).
I decided to get the sandwich a la carte, so maybe it's a lot of food.
The Icelandic Cod was prepared perfectly.
Fish can be rubbery if overcooked, but this was tender and delicate.
I was disappointed the bun was straight out of the bag, not toasted or grilled.
The Poorboy was an unseasoned ground beef on garlic bread; it is definitely a skip for me next time.
Their menu is extensive with chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, ribeye steak sandwich, and pork chop sandwich.
Full meals include lobster, salmon, and steaks.


My place to go to if I want a "PoorBoy sandwich".
I have tried other spots and nothing comes close to this place.
I usually get their Steak Poorboy and their spicy chicken poorboy.
Both are so good! I usually get them with American cheese and their garlic butter.
Definitely a must try if you like Poorboy sandwiches.
I usually call ahead and place an order for pick up since it usually takes about 30min.
For them to be ready.
Always fresh too!
