Favorite Turkey Sandwich Spot
I've been coming here since I was a little kid and hands down, this is my favorite turkey sandwich. The turkey to bread ratio is just right, and I love the oven toasted taste. The food and service are both excellent, earning a perfect 5/5. While the atmosphere also received a 5/5, finding parking can be somewhat difficult.

A Must-Try Deli with Great Subs
My experience at this deli was a must-try! The sub was excellent, coming nicely toasted with a flaky crush. The setting is small and it gets crowded during lunch rush hour, which is something to be aware of.

Exceptional Sandwich Shop Experience
As someone raised on the East Coast, I consider myself a decent critic of what makes a sandwich shop better than what you can make at home. This place checks the first box: bread that isn’t something you can buy at your local grocery store. I don’t know exactly how to categorize their sub roll, but it’s crusty, chewy, and all the things that mass-produced bread can’t be. The second key is the prep of the ingredients. At home, we can all put a lettuce leaf on a sandwich, but that just creates a barrier between bread, sauce, and meat. Here, the ingredients are thinly sliced and perfectly married to the importance of sauce, which they also nail. All I can say is WELL DONE!

Good Pastrami, Questionable Price
I was craving a pastrami and found this place was within biking distance, so I went out and ordered ahead on DoorDash for pickup. It was ready by the time I got there. The pastrami sandwich was good and juicy, though it's not the traditional pastrami I had in mind. I'd still come back for this. But is a sandwich really $17 these days?

Expensive and Dry Sub
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. They forgot to toast my sub, which resulted in the bread being super dry and falling apart. I found it to be very expensive for what it is.

Amazing Subs, Great Fix!
My boyfriend was craving a sandwich, so I looked up a few spots and decided to give this place a try — and I’m so glad we did! It’s a small space but super efficient and well-run. We ordered two subs, and they were absolutely amazing. I had the avocado with turkey, and my boyfriend went with the pastrami. Both were fresh, flavorful, and packed just right. We devoured our subs — definitely hit the spot! Great little gem for a satisfying sandwich fix.

Allergy Mistake, Disappointing Experience
I cannot recommend this restaurant if you have food allergies. I visited just a few hours ago and ordered sandwiches specifically without mayo and sauce due to a severe allergy. We clearly communicated this to the staff taking our order and even repeated it. To our shock, the order arrived with mayo! I have been a loyal customer for years, but this potentially life-threatening mistake means I can no longer advocate for them.

Amazing Meatball Sub & Mac Salad!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, particularly with their meatball sub. It was so good I almost cried – and I'm not joking! I highly recommend getting extra meat on it. I've ordered from here at least 15 times, and every single time the food has been amazing. The macaroni salad is also "BOMB".
