About Hi Fi By Terror Twilight

Hi Fi dishes out hefty, hot rolls and griddled toasties from a lively Smith Street walk-up hatch soundtracked by spinning vinyl. Regulars line the sidewalk for morning egg rolls stacked with folded omelette, melted cheese, and a crisp hash brown on a toasted brioche bun. At lunch, the counter shifts to rich tuna melts laced with salsa verde and dill pickle, alongside hot honey fried chicken and curly fries dusted in Old Bay. Perch under the outdoor pergola with a quick flat white or take it down the block.

  • Morning Egg Rolls: Folded omelette, cheese, and crunchy hash on toasted brioche served hot for morning recovery.
  • Vinyl & Street Hatch: Walk-up sidewalk ordering with outdoor pergola seating under the hum of an active turntable.
  • Hefty Lunch Rolls: Griddled tuna melts with salsa verde alongside hot honey fried chicken rolls and seasoned curly fries.
