Old Fogies is the answer to all my woes, or at least my lunch woes. I am in the Burlington area on business working near downtown and have found myself in this weird alternate restaurant universe. A chili dog doesn't include the weiner, come on, how does that make any sense? Plus it is almost impossible to find the quintessential turkey sandwich. We can all rest assured, Old Fogies is the answer to this weird alternate restaurant universe and they have a really good turkey sandwich too.
It is the perfect little lunch place with friendly and very quick service. I felt a need to bask in this respite of lunch normalcy and ordered a little bit of everything. I had you can probably guess, a turkey sandwich, with a side of pasta salad. I had heard their chicken salad was really good, so I ordered a scoop of that too, it is really good and I strongly recommend it. I am also a sucker for a good sweet/quick bread and with banana nut available I had to get that also. Then if that wasn't enough I went for a piece of their cake, a nice piece of moist strawberry with a vanilla icing. It is definitely home made and like everything else very good.
I will be back at least once a week when in town. It is one of those restaurants that doesn't do anything fancy or complicated, but what it does it does very well. Oh Old Fogies, thank you for being exactly what you should be. -

This is a great LITTLE mostly sandwich place. Family run & fast service! Food is homemade and very reasonably priced!

Interesting little place with a very limited menu - Soup (only during cold months, so no soup for you today - no bread either, I would guess, come back 6 months); Salads, and Hot & Cold Sandwiches - but NO Burger or Hot Dog.; and a variety of side dishes.
Salads run the usual gamuet: House, Chef, Chicken, Grilled, Egg, Tuna, etc , runing $4.25 to $6. The sandwiches run hot and cold: BLT, Grilled Cheese, Turkey, Ham, Egg Salad, Tuna Salad, Subs, Chicken Club, and others - pricing in the $6 - $7 range, with a side.
I tried the Chicken Salad becauce Chuch S. at Old Sharkey's recommended it, and it was a very nice sandwich. Got mine on white, untoasted, with pasta salad, also nice. The Chicken Salad is almost a curried Chicken Salad, in tatste and color. The taste is nice, if just a tad on the sweet side, due to the kind of pickle used. Cost was $5.50.
This place is quick, efficient, and friendly. This is the essence of a low tech operation - pepsi comes in a can with a cup of ice. -

Total hole in the wall kind of place. Great food, good prices, friendly service. It can get busy around lunch time and there isn't much room for waiting on a table. There chicken salad is especially delicious!

Only open for lunch. If you're gonna do this, you better know what you are doing. They do. Fantastic Chicken Salad, Almost as good as The Old Sharkey's. Great service, phenomenal sandwiches. This is a great place to eat lunch. Desserts are killer as well.
