Located on State Street where BW3s used to be, and close to competitors Potbelly, Erbert &amp; Gerbert&#8217;s, Jimmy John&#8217;s and Full of Bull (now closed), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/details.php?b=1177\" target=\"_self\">Roast Public House<\/a> stands out for its unique sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Cajun BBQ Brisket ($9), for example. The Bell&#8217;s Two Hearted-braised brisket was tender and oozing with flavor, and the meat is topped with cole slaw, something I always like to have on that type of sandwich. Meanwhile, the Turkey Spinach Dip Panini ($8) was as-a-whole awesome; however, I should note the turkey was super dry but saved by the homemade spinach dip and melted cheese.<\/p>\n<p>On my next visit, I&#8217;ll probably get the Giambotta ($8), made of pork shoulder, cherry pepper pork gravy and vinegar peppers. All sandwiches come with kettle chips, though you can add fries or cole slaw ($1) or soup or salad ($1.50).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1163\" style=\"margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px;\" title=\"2013-02-24 12.55.15\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-02-24-12.55.15-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-02-24-12.55.15-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-02-24-12.55.15-1024x760.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Even common appetizers have a delicious twist. The Signature Fries ($5) can be made one of three ways, including with gravy. I ordered them with nacho cheese, olives and tomatoes, and it was a hearty way to start the meal, although I wish the dish had more cheese on it.<\/p>\n<p>As for the chicken tenders ($7.50), they are encrusted with sweet potato and served with a Sriracha lime aioli and chipotle sauce&#8211;both are fantastic (I was dipping other foods in that sauce).<\/p>\n<p>Roast Public House serves lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday. It can get crowded quickly, and the downstairs&#8211;which has just a few tables&#8211;is really meant for private parties.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/214\/1711005\/restaurant\/Madison-Downtown-Isthmus\/Roast-Public-House-Madison\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Roast Public House on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1711005\/minilink.gif\" style=\"border:none;padding:0px;width:130px;height:36px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea of a sandwich shop serving roasted meats certainly got my attention.
