Met up after work with Kathryn, Terry and Casey to check out the Thick-fil-A sandwich at Northside Yacht Club. They do these pop-ups with regularity and elevate menu items from chain joints.

Previously posts: Nihilist Arby’s and Applebees. (Very sad that I missed their take on Frisch’s Big Boy.)

As for the chicken sandwich? It was good. I feel like I should have tried the vegan version. I love that they almost always make vegan versions of all their dishes.

The real stars of the evening were regular menu items including the fried broccoli, pulled pork sandwich, poutine fries and smoked wings.

Other good things: A cocktail menu where every drink could be made without alcohol (reasonably priced) and table service on the patio where they’ve built all these four top picnic tables with umbrellas.

As the pandemic was in full swing, Northside Yacht Club brought levity and deliciousness by transforming into Nihilist Arby’s for a spell. The Beast and Cheddar with curly fries was super tasty.

They have great photos and captured all the glory of the menu on their site.

It finally opened! And we were lucky to be sitting at the bar when a manager from an actual Applebee’s nearby came to drop off bags of food to the staff at Northside Yacht Club.

I don’t remember when they started doing these “takeovers,” but they lean into them with all their gusto, putting graphics up, creating new cocktail and food menus. Then they play it all up on social and here we are.

I am fairly certain this escapade resulted in a Cease & Desist letter which is now proudly framed in the bar area.

There’s better photos and a write up on Ronnie Salerno’s blog.
