I had the buffalo chicken Ceasar wrap, phenomenal! Service was fast (1 min order to sevice time) and plenty of seats.

The food here is excellent. They have some of the best sandwiches and really good salad options, all fresh and well made. The quality of the food definitely stands out. However, the ordering process is confusing. There is no clear guide or signage explaining how to order, where to wait, or when to pay, so it’s hard to know what to do unless you’ve been here before. Many customers seem confused because of this. Overall, great food, but the process could be much better organized to improve the experience.

What a hidden gem in an oasis of overrated, overpriced lunch options! The customer service is top notch and they don't miss a beat. What a refreshing option for a quick and affordable bite in the vicinity. No lines, no gimmicks, just honest and impeccable high quality ingredients! Do you have an early or late morning or afternoon meeting? Well, here's your spot, folks! Skip all the super long lines and garbage food and hop on over. Some of the very best sandwich meal specials in town with some of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had - it'll literally knock your socks right off! I don't know what the average person thinks about sandwich accessibility in Washington, but it's always left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). I've quite literally had the most terrible sandwiches imaginable

★★★★★ 5.0 Jasper Nett · Dec 2025

The sandwiches were excellent, and the staff was friendly. We were looking for a light lunch and found it here. We enjoyed our meal outside, with a nice view of the park and buildings nearby. We tried the Pastrami Melt and the Pastrami & Corned Beef Melt, both of which were delicious. The place gets crowded, but the line moves quickly. Most customers order takeout, although there is some seating available inside and outside.

First review of my life. Bad enough experience to try and help out others. Born and raised here. Owner tried to steal my money today. He took my order (2 sandwiches) and I paid. Then after 20 minutes of waiting owner tried to force us out without getting the food. Blatant thievery. I know it’s rough in DC these days for restaurants. That said, stealing is probably not a business model that will work long term.
