Solid spot. The Pulled Pork is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Great sandwiches option for the area. The Caprese Panini 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.
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.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Caprese Panini hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
