    Tremendous place, from the very tasty & BIG sandwiches to the very attentive & helpful staff (but not overly so). The bread's great, desserts are great, the drinks are great...everything's great here.

    Wide variety of sandwiches with store-roasted/cured meats, plus cool chips from STL. But a little pricey and our sandwich was kind of hard to eat. Sandwich is 90% construction.

    The 5 spice pulled pork was too sweet & potent, and the bread was soaked on the bottom, but we all shared our sandwiches and the Loins on Fire and roast beef seasonal sandwich were both delicious.

    They overload the sandwiches! They do not disappoint. Tones of avocados and veggies! They also have a great selection of old fashioned sodas!

    You'll need to try every sandwich and every soda here. You can also get cuts of meat and wines to go here too.

    The guys here are really awesome. Came 5 min after closing and they still let me order. They were out of chicken but suggested pork on my sesame chicken salad instead. Love the great service & food!!

    Definitely quality ingredients. Sandwiches are on average about $11. Perhaps a bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for here.
