Monday Munchies: “Bat Out of Hell” Meatloaf Sandwich at Bumsted’s

Nov 10, 20251 min read

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

If your munchies are calling for something rebellious yet comforting, meet the Bat Out of Hell meatloaf sandwich at Bumsted’s at 1003 N. Stone Ave.

A Rock-and-Roll Comfort Staple

Since reopening in 2020, Bumsted’s has carved out a niche for fun, creative comfort food plus late-night karaoke and mimosas.The Bat Out of Hell sandwich leads the menu: a jalapeño-cream-cheese-infused meatloaf piled thick between toasted bread. They don’t just do meatloaf like your grandma; they smash it into rock-and-roll territory.

Why It Works for the Munchies

The sandwich hits all the right notes when the cravings strike. The meatloaf stays juicy thanks to cream cheese and jalapeño action. The heat from the jalapeños thrills without shutting everything down. The bread provides satisfying chew. Every bite delivers something warm, soft, slightly spicy and deeply comforting. If you’re planning to devour it on the couch or in the parking lot after karaoke, you’ve scored.

More Than Just a Sandwich Spot

Bumsted’s leans into the entertainment vibe; think karaoke nights, open-mic Wednesdays and a brunch scene with big cinnamon rolls. But when you zero-in on the Bat Out of Hell, you’re getting a superstar sandwich that defines their menu and their spirit. The kitchen cures its own meats, makes its own sauces, and takes comfort food seriously.
