Great sandwiches option for the area. The Italian Sub was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Pulled Pork was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Reuben hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Reuben and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Mixed feelings. The Reuben was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
