⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 stars I waltzed in here about 10 minutes before closing without even realizing it. Didn’t check Google—was driving and not about to multitask. I walk in thinking, why is this place so empty? Turns out… yeah, they were about to close. Ordered a #15 on rye with regular mayo, regular mustard, chipotle mayo, tons of jalapeños and pickles, plus lettuce, tomato, and onion. Grabbed a small water too. I’m the type of guy who still asks, “Hey, is it cool if I eat here?” even when I don’t need to. They told me, very chill, “We’re closing in five minutes.” I immediately apologized and let them know I used to work in a kitchen—I get it. No drama at all. Took the sandwich to my car and ate it there. And man… I don’t throw this around lightly. I’m not saying it’s the best sandwich I

My go to is #9! I don't have pictures because I ate my sandwich!. This is a great place for the fresh cut meats and the family-owned service. No one on their phone acting like your bothering them. They offer 3 lengths of sandwich and seemingly endless variety. Loyalty cards are no longer issued but I have a few more punches to go on mine which they still honor. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSSINESS, ESPECIALLY THIS ONE!!!

2/5/2026 Been going here for years and We go out of our way all the time to go to this location because it is good. Hours say they are open at 10am. We were there and the open sign turned on. Opened door, locked, looked in and employees made eye contact. Waited until almost 10:30 for the door to open and nothing, just left. It is fine if short staffed or arrived late, however put a note on the door or at least acknowledge the customer outside. Bad taste in our mouth now and won’t be back.

This is one of the best sandwich shops that offers 35+ different sandwiches and combos on their menu board. They have a variety of different breads, including squaw which is harder to find. They have standard vegetable selection but also have sprouts which are not usually offered! They slice their meat and cheese fresh from the case when you order. They offer a limited selection of drinks, but lots of chips, and the good Dirty Chips brand too! Wonderful place, go and support a family owned business!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Messing · Oct 2025

Went here to get my go to Albacore tuna, they don't have Albacore, just tuna or Chicken salad. I ordered a #20 Roast beef & Turkey w/ med. fountain drink, $20. French bread, yep everything is expensive. This shouldn't be. They put my mayo & mustard only on top and very sparingly. Teaspoon of each maybe little more on a 9". Ate some of my dry sandwich, ask for mayo and mustard got cheap First street packets from Smart & Final. Mayo was almost as yellow as mustard. Bottom line you want to support/ make wealthy, a Mom & Pop shop? It is... not a franchise. They don't adhere to what a franchise is known for, consistency!! They can buy pretty much whatever they want to use and sell. I won't ever go back. Just me support and reward what you want.
