The meat-to-cheese was on point and the onions were grilled to perfection! I travel for work, so I've been blessed to have had the chance to try iconic meals from all over the world. This sandwich was better than any other Philly I've ever had (even over the ones I've had from Philadelphia)! It was juicy, flavorful, and I didn't want it to end! If this place is far for you, just go. You will not regret making the trek.

We'll definitely be back to try dessert and grab one of their pre-prepared pastas for dinner. And on your way out, don't miss the little mint patty gumball-style machine by the door.

Pump Social is one of the more unique lunch spots in downtown Concord, located in a renovated old…read moregas/service station. The concept is really well done, with a fun atmosphere, a large outdoor patio with covered picnic tables, and a small indoor seating area. It was just too hot to enjoy the patio during our visit, so we opted to eat inside. The menu focuses on sandwiches, salads, and grain bowls. Our group tried three sandwiches: the La Familigia, the Big Schlepper, and the Hillcrest. The La Familigia was enjoyable. The combination of capicola, Genoa salami, mortadella, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and the spicy pickled pepper spread on ciabatta created a flavorful, well-balanced sandwich that I'd happily order again. The Big Schlepper was another winner. The corned beef paired perfectly with the Swiss cheese, spicy Dijon aioli, pickles, shaved cabbage, and caraway rye bread. Every bite had great texture and flavor. Unfortunately, the Hillcrest didn't meet expectations. When you think of chicken salad with apples and pecans, you expect that classic creamy chicken salad flavor. This version was much drier, with little to no mayonnaise, and the flavor was very different from a traditional chicken salad. In fact, someone at our table commented that it had an almost "fishy" taste, which was surprising. To be fair, taste is subjective, and I'm sure there are people who enjoy this style of chicken salad, so I'm only sharing the opinion of the person who ordered it. I mentioned the feedback to one of the employees, hoping they might appreciate hearing a customer's perspective, but the response felt indifferent, which was disappointing. Overall, Pump Social has a great concept, a fun atmosphere, and two of the three sandwiches were very good. I'd definitely return to explore more of the menu, but I'd skip the Hillcrest next time.

Customer service was amazing and the food was top tier! I tried their veggie wrap option this trip, called the Adriaddict. It's hard to say but easy to eat!!! LOL, soooo good. The lemon hummus wa the star of the wrap my gaaaash. Idk how they make it but it's really great. I loved the pickled beets and all the fresh ingredients on it. Each sandwich comes with a side included in the price and that makes decision making easier. We love that. I love how they have bottomless coffee for $3 and the funky and eclectic mugs you can choose from. This is a cool spot. We really enjoyed it and will absolutely be back to try more sandwiches. All of the options sounded so good, it was really hard to pick one. Highly recommend!!

We loved the name, and it's easy to see why it's a local favorite. The place has a lot of charm, and everyone was welcoming, cheerful, and accommodating. We liked the casual setup - you can grab a local beer from the fridge, order at the counter, find a spot on the covered patio, and they'll bring your smoothies and food to you. Everything was fresh and delicious, and our kids enjoyed their meals too. The salads were a little different from what was listed on the menu because they use what's fresh that day, but they were still really good, and the dressing was amazing. Before heading home, we picked up a crumble, a snickerdoodle, and a dried cherry chocolate chunk cookie. So glad we did, they were all delicious!

Wow! The reviews…read moremade me do it and I'm so glad I did! We stopped in during the FIFA championship game and had the most delicious Smashburger and fries while watching Spain win! Inside the building you order at the counter for any of the restaurants advertised on the exterior of the building which includes this one. In contrast to other reviews, yes, there are drinks on site available. It's just a separate order. Beers, sodas, water, etc., all available. The burger? We both got the Slowpoke smashee. Double burger with cheese and the slightly perfectly crunchy edges of beef, pickles that zing, a sauce that just makes it all MELT in your mouth, and the fries which are literally the PERFECT crisp! On man! They are seasoned well, and fried perfectly. The burger was a bit greasy as expected and the perfect blend of seasoned beef, toasted brioche bun, sautéed onions that are delicious and perfectly sautéed, and that melted real cheese and sauce. It was so good my boyfriend ate his and ordered another one of course he had a stomach ache after, but yes, he devoured two doubles. It was that tasty. My pictures do it absolutely no justice because we dove in before I took them so they look a mess. It came looking much better than these photos of burgers we had already tore into from the excitement from reading the reviews. Service was great at the counter. Friendly. Your food gets brought out to you. The seating area is comfortable and casual and even includes some couches and several TVs. Perfect place to watch the game.

It was too hot to sit outside so we got it to go. We ordered online so all I had to do as pick it up. I ordered the single smash burger on a buttery brioche bun ($7.00), and it was a solid burger--simple, flavorful, and satisfying. The fries were definitely a highlight! They were crispy, well-seasoned, and very good. Other burgers were 2 times the single smash burger. If you're in the Concord area and looking for a casual spot for a smash burger and fries, For Crying Out Loud is worth checking out.
