One of the most underrated sandwich spots in the city. The pastrami is tasty and never dry. The backyard outdoor space wouldn’t be known from the entrance. Place to chill, good music, or get ping pong in. It’s great for groups or solo. The staff always out their best effort forward every time I come here

We've only been here twice, but it's a new gem for me. I would eat this every other day, if I could. The service was great each time. I had more lettuce than meat on my second sandwich, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. They have a lot of delicious options. The onion rings were on point! I can't wait for round three xD
