Tilman's - Charlottesville

I crushed this place today. I stumbled in and realized it just opened. I wanted to order their Cuban, which looked delicious, but their 'sandwich of the day ' was staring me in the face, so I went for it. Soppressata on baguette with some fancy cheese, mustard greens, cippolini onions, and stone ground mustard. Came with carrot salad, which was chopped with green onion and parsley and lightly dressed. All of it was fantastic. Great size portion, without making you feel like you need a nap. The service was quick, but the atmosphere still felt warm. You could grab to-go, stay and have a quick lunch, or hang out and read while having a beer. Fills a huge gap on the downtown mall.

Uhhh. I’ve been here twice a week since they’ve opened. I love it. $5 cheese and fruit plate for kids! My toddler loves it, and I get to keep the fancy stuff all to myself. Happy hour is great. Salads are amazing! Dried olives are insanely good and strange. The downtown mall has needed a place like this since enoteca closed. Casual and classy at the same time.

So happy Tilman's opened up on the mall! Courtenay is an incredible hostess, and all the staff have been wonderful every visit. Love their sandwiches and cheeses and wines. Delicious menu. And that atmosphere. SO CUTE! Can't wait for many more hangs at Tilman's!

Already the best sandwiches downtown! And everything is priced EXACTLY how it should be. None of that $20-glass-of-wine stuff!

My favorite place! The food is delicious, high quality, thoughtfully selected, and so affordable. The service is excellent, and the ambience is so warm, bright, and cozy. Destined to become your new go-to lunch and dinner spot!
