Black Box Fix

This almost food coma is brought to me by Black Box Fix. I got the win win, chicken and corned beef. Besides the meat, the bread is so fresh and I love the use of mushrooms. I waited at Kazstylins secret closet and had time to shop while the food was prepared. That and the 30 minute free parking made this a wonderful treat. If only I didn’t have two more hours of driving left… but I’ll make it!
The handcut fries should be eaten hot.

Mmmmm… tasty, seasoned well and the sandwiches are overstuffed. I ate half one-​day and took the rest for lunch

The Railroader was phenomenal. I thought I got mayo on my face as I was eating it, but when I went to wipe it away and saw my napkin mayo-​less I realized it was actually tears of joy rolling down my cheeks.

Look, it’s a $ 13 sandwich at a carry out joint! For this I expected something amazing or at least delicious. What I got was just average in every way.
I got the OMG Philly and was not impressed. The attempt at seasonings in the sauce still left it bland, and the bun was way too small. Fries were soft and greasy. Wha?
Add this place to the Heights trend of overpricing and under-​delivering while everyone raves. I’m baffled.
Next time I’ll just go to the Colony or even Best Gyros for better food at appropriate prices.

SO GOOD! I met my very picky boyfriend here for lunch last week and even he loved it. The prices may seem a little high until you get your food and see how great it looks and the amount of food you get. We will certainly be back in the future.
The only thing I can think to warn people of is that the wait is a little longer than you’d expect. I would almost consider ordering it on the way if you’re in any kind of hurry.
The staff was great and I’m so glad to have seen this place completely packed!

Clevelanders! I say, Clevelanders, bring your appetite with you! I had the OMG Philly and it truly was OMG! The perfect blend of chicken and shrimp on a wonderfully soft bun.

I got there at 9:27 pm and ordered a «Mr Martin». Even though they close they door by 9:45,they let me stay and finish my food. Very nice and polite. Good service. Food? Excellent. Must try. The only thing missing was some hot sauce. Good price for wonderful meal.

Don’t try to place an order by phone 20 minutes before they close. They don’t even pick up the phone. I called 5 times and each time rang for few minutes, but no answer. I guess business must be so go, they don’t bother answering the phone.

— Lovely place! Black owned and operated, which makes me proud. The décor is simple, modern, clean and easy to navigate. Most people get their food to go, but we sat down at one of the several seats they had. The staff is friendly and you can damn-​near see right into the kitchen to watch the chefs work. I ordered the «OMG Philly», which is chicken, cheese, shrimp, some amazing sauce and several other amazing ingredients. It comes with parmesan fries, which weren’t very parmesan-​y in my opinion, but that sandwich… it was freaking awesome, filling as well. There are no plates, everything was served in a black takeout box even while eating in. I loved this place and will surely be here again.

I ordered the OMG Philly and boy is it appropriately named! Everything was delicious about this sandwich! The roll was soft, the veggies tender and the chicken and shrimp were cooked to perfection! Whatever mayo/​cheese a sauce they put on it was also divine!
I will definitely be returning soon to try more things!

Pretty good stuff! I had the OMG sandwich and it was very good! It had a perfect amount of cheese, the chicken was very tender and the shrimp was delicious!
I will say that the garlic fries didn’t taste like they had garlic, but that could be because I am immune to garlic at this point in life if it’s not drowning my food! *slight garlic addict here*
My husband got the hibachi burger and it was surprisingly bland. We were pretty disappointed in the burger, but the OMG sandwich was flavorful and delicious!
Fries aren’t crispy, they’re more lightly firm/​soft. So if you want really crispy fries, they won’t be for you.

Solid lunch spot! I came here with my mentor on a Friday for lunch. We both ordered the Heights Fish and the portions are very, very plentiful!
The sandwiches come with fries that are so delicious and they come with a sprinkling of toppings. It’s definitely comfort food — lots of calories and plentiful and enjoyable.
It’s more of a fast casual place where you can order at the bar and sit and eat if you’d like.
The only puzzling thing is that I wanted to come here for lunch with some friends on a Saturday… But they don’t open until 2pm! I found that to be interesting. Be sure to check the hours to make sure they’re open.

Their sandwiches are pretty friggin’ awesome. Same with the soul rolls.
Unfortunately, the fries are consistently under-​cooked and raw tasting. I usually end up throwing most of them out (which really sucks since the seasoning is great).
I’m still wondering what’s going on with their Online Ordering… The web site reads «SOON online ordering…» for almost a year now.

Woah, what happened here? With all of the good Unilocal reviews, i expected these sandwiches to blow me out of the water. Instead, while they were decent as I was eating them, they left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Here’s the thing. If you like Melt, you will like this place. Bread soaked most of the way through with butter then slathered with yum yum mayo, and paired with fries that are covered with cheese. Might be your thing, but not for me.

This place was pretty good, a bit pricy for what you get. The OMG Philly was great clocked to perfection with gooey goodness.
The fries we’re hot and crispy, with a little bit of shredded parmesan cheese.
The only thing that I did not care for was the soul roll. It was 3 or 4 dollars and was just a fried egg roll wanton shell filled with dirty rice and to dip in an Asian spring roll sauce you can get at any Asian market. I had higher expectations for it.

Seems like Lee Road is akin to rotating new establishments, but I vote to keep this gem alive! Modestly trendy cute on the inside. Kind of a small joint, only has about 4 tables to seat the posse. While sitting, the counter had a lot of to-​go order traffic.
Though all the Sandwich items here had something unique to offer, I ordered the OMG chicken philly with jumbo shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, onions, peppers, melted swiss on toasted brioche bun with yum yum mayo. Usually not a fan of yum yum, but had to give it up to Black Box Fix for finding the balance between sweet and savory. All sandwiches come with a side, more like a very healthy portion of garlic parmesan fries. I couldn’t taste the cheese or seasoning, they fell off, but for being those size cut, I was impressed by how crispy they were.
Splurged on a Soul roll as well, seeing that it was only offered on certain days of the week. Looked like an eggroll, the wrapper wasn’t soggy. Inside was Cajun rice. It was carb on carb. For $ 4, I advise skipping the creole roll and putting that money on a down payment for your next sandwich.
Expect to fall into food coma afterwards.

This place was really good! We had the soul roll, which lets be honest I could have just made a meal out of that, the Ruben Gobble and the OMG Philly. All of them had a lot of flavor and were very good. One of my biggest pet peeves with ordering sandwiches to go is that the bread tends to get soggy. NOT THE CASE HERE! The bread still had a crispy texture from the grill and the sandwich still had a lot of flavor and was not dry at all. The boyfriend loves the OMG Philly and appreciated the touch of seafood in the shrimp. Overall we were very happy with our first Black Box Fix and we will be back to try more of the menu!

My first experience I got the LBJ special. Ya’ll really should bring it back! The steak was delicious and, although I didn’t get shrimp added, I know it would’ve made it that much more delicious. The yum yum sauce is a great balance of slightly sweet and savory.
Next I got the Railroader because, bacon jam. I still dream about that stuff. The shrimp is so plump, juicy and well-​seasoned. Same goes with the burger patty.
The only complaint I would have is the garlic parmesan fries are soggy and not crisp. Thats a personal preference. Either way I hope the place is here to stay and I will definitely be back to try more of their many delicious looking burgers and sandwiches.

Good Lord, this food tastes like Heaven in a Black Box!!!
I found this Cleveland gem through a coworker. The pics of the food on Unilocal,says it all. Everything looks delicious and full of mouth watering flavor! I got the BBF Sampler. I never knew a burger could taste so good without condiments. The sweet caramelized bacon & onions on top was the kick in the tastebuds. And the chicken sandwich is the best chicken sandwich that I have ever tasted-​literally. The soul roll was really good. It was a nice spin on the well known egg roll. The sweet sauce served with it set off the flavor a of the roll nicely. The fries (served with garlic butter and cheese on top) are good all by themselves.
Anyone from Cleveland and visitors from out of town need to do their tastebuds a favor. You know this place must be good if Guy Fieri visits! The Black Box Fix is top notch!

Located in the former Sweetie Fry spot, my old favorite joint for gourmet ice cream and fries, I wasn’t in a particular hurry to go back and find the the new Black Box Fix. When I first saw the sign go up before they opened, I had no idea what it was. Then I discovered that they’d be a sandwich shop… «oh, another sandwich shop.» Then I discovered that it’s run by Eric Rogers of Nevaeh catering and contestant on Food Network’s «Guy’s Grocery Games». Then I discovered their menu. With items like…
Hibachi Burger — hibachi seasoned beef topped with mozarella/​provolone, sauteed mushrooms, onions, peppers & JUMBO grilled shrimp on a toasted kaiser bun with yum yum mayo.
OMG Philly — Grilled chicken and JUMBO shrimp with sauteed mushrooms, onions, peppers and melted swiss on a toasted kaiser bun with yum yum mayo.
I finally decided to go. If you’ve seen my previous reviews, I appreciate good food, but what I do not appreciate is overpaying for subpar quality or less than tasty food. The two sandwiches above are no bargain at $ 13 each, but boy… two of the better and tastiest sandwiches I’ve ever had, period! AND… they come with hand cut garlic parm fries, yo! The care and attention to detail and taste that Eric and his kitchen crew puts in their craft shows in the two sandwiches I tried. By the way, there were two of us and split each sandwich — although I could have eaten both myself… they were THAT good!
I’ve paid around $ 13 for a sandwich recently (and that just the sandwich) at a joint where they claim to serve «the most satisfying burger on earth» and came away very disappointed. The quality of BBF’s sandwiches, plus the fact that they combo it with their deliciously satisfying garlic parm fries, made it worth every penny! Also, I asked for medium and they executed it perfectly, unlike other places who can’t get the temperature right. Will definitely be back!
My only criticism, which has nothing to do with this rating is: my request for a cup of ice water was declined. They offered soda or a bottled water for purchase. I don’t drink soda, nor do I believe that one should have to pay for water when dining in a restaurant.

Visiting from Atlanta and was told this was a new spot to try in the neighborhood. Called in my order after looking at some reviews on Unilocal.My order was ready when i got there around fifteen minutes after I placed it. I ordered the black box sampler. Which was very good. Only part I didn’t like was the mayo on my burger. Had I known I would have asked them to leave that off. But everything else was good. The soul roll was interesting. Had good flavor a little spice to it didn’t get to try the dipping sauce.
Overall it was a good experience, good food, and a black owned biz makes it even better!
