Spicy Sandwiches in Niles: The Blazin Bird vs. The Smoke House
Both of our spicy subs are fan favorites, but they bring very different kinds of heat. Here’s the head-to-head.

The Blazin Bird
Sliced buffalo chicken and smoked turkey, provolone, arugula, onion, pesto, garlic aioli and chipotle sauce on tomato & cheese bread. The heat is smoky and builds slowly, and the pesto keeps it fresh. It’s one of our most-ordered sandwiches and the Monday $9.50 lunch special.
The Smoke House
Smoked turkey, beef salami, pepper jack, arugula, mayo, garlic aioli and jalapeño ranch on tomato & cheese bread. The heat is brighter and creamier, with salty salami and a cool ranch finish. It’s the Tuesday lunch special.
