The Electric 2146 Tyler Road, Hoover, AL 35226

"I was on my way to be a guest on the Blerd Survival Guide podcast and I had a little time to kill so I popped up over to The Electric after being told many times to try it. So what are the odds that this place was only 3 minutes from my destination! Anyways I popped in and checked out the inside and it was a very cool, comfortable, and hype like establishment. I put my order in online and didn't go in until it was the said time they gave me on the order. When I went in my food wasn't ready and so I had to wait probably another 30 minutes. Staff was working hard though so I wasn't stressing about it to hard. Staff was nice and offered me water while I waited. I finally get my food head back to the car and proceeded to unbox everything. I gotta admit that visually the food looked very good. First up I had the Classic which is a Flatbread that consists of pepperoni, conecuh sausage, mozzarella, provolone cheese, and basil. This ended up being very good. Nothing crazy to wow about but it definitely got the job done. Flavors were decently balanced I think my only grip with this is the pizza sauce could use a bit more work. I still would other this again anyways so don't let that stop you. 7.5/10 Lastly I got The Ballpark which consisted of country sausage, chili, cheddar cheese, yellow mustard, scallions, and hugged tight in a toasted bun. This was probably my favorite thing. The chili was so hot and tasted as if it was homemade. If it's not homemade I want to known where they buy it because it was pretty darn good. I'd eat it on its own! The sausage was very flavorful as well. The only issue with this was the bun it's definitely well toasted it was way to hard for me and shredded the roof of my mouth I would personally change the bun to something else but that'd just me. Either way this bad boy is a will order again and I give it a 8.5/10. Definitely go try this place when you get the chance it was really good and I hope I can come back soon!"

"Good food, cool atmosphere, and friendly staff. Menu was not as similar to paramount as I was lead to believe from a friend. But still a solid sandwich shoppe, haven't gotten to try the pizza yet."

"I have to recommend The Electric's take on the Reuben and chili (add the sausage for the whole, wow, experience). Nice beer selection too."

"It’s more of a bar with a small restaurant area attached. Staff were relatively friendly but seemed a bit aloof or uninterested. It took a long time to get our food despite not being busy. The loaded grilled cheese had a sadly unripened slice of tomato, and the cheese was not completely melted. The chili should be advertised as vegetarian. Chili would have been good if it had not been overly sweet, the recipe needs to be adjusted. Overall, nice concept but the delivery needs improvement."

"Fun local place to grab soup and sandwich. I enjoyed the pimento, bacon sandwich and the tomato soup was creamy and very flavorful."
