While the sandwich was delicious, the wait time was unreasonable. We waited 45 minutes for two sandwiches and they are absolutely not cheap.
Also, you aren’t warned about how long the wait will be until after the order is placed (via the website).
The staff had zero urgency. Pretty disappointing.

They've lost their charm. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I walked up for 2 sandwiches with no line. 30 minute wait that turns out to be nearly an hour.. They don't have hot sauce for people eating at the establishment anymore, but they'll sell you a bottle for $8. As far as I know, it's always been a popular spot. They certainly haven't been blindsided by demand. I've lived in the neighborhood for 10 years. Consider the place online only for ordering. Not a place you can walk up and grab a sandwich with a friend anymore.

Got the Terry Gross, which was a pretty good sandwich, but the service is so bad I probably won’t come back.

The system for this place makes no sense. One window and line handles both new orders and pick ups. Staff seem at best uninterested in making things run smoothly and at worst straight up rude.

There’s no reason a sandwich should take 30 minutes to make. Do they not have the ingredients ready to go back there?

Might as well go to a different sandwhich shop like ggiata and save yourself a couple a dollars and an hour of waiting. Can easily find better service attitude and general vibes elsewhere. Never have I ever been so disappointed that it compelled me to leave this bad review.

Slow (and a little rude) service and long waits aren’t worth the pretty tasty sandwiches. The sandwiches feel inventive and delicious. But there’s really no reason they should take so long to make.

Also, please work on this service model. People waiting 20min in the sun at the window, after they got a text, just to pick up a cold sandwich that took 40min to make is unnecessary.

price is a bit high for slightly above average food - at least it’s healthy and the people are nice! food wait time is about 20-30min if you don’t call in before - there’s no bathroom though and not many seats, more of a carry out sandwich spot for frogtowners 🐸

This is a really sweet sandwich shop! Outside seating only and a walk up counter. Really love their website and branding. We ordered the Larry Mantle sandwich which was delicious. Really generous portion, loved the extra cheese on top and the pickle spear. They also give you an extra side of dressing in case you need it. My only note would be that the bottoms were a bit soggy because of the dressing that was pre-added. This didn’t ruin the sandwich by any means, but if we were taking them away and not eating there, it might have. Their seating area is really cute and gives you a nice view of the little street. Great sandwich shop, would recommend!

They only have one line for pick up and ordering so if it’s busy that means waiting in line twice… not cool

Bomb food. Terrible system. 1 window handling all pickup and regular orders, they don’t call your name when an order is ready. You stand in line forever. The line is 20 minutes deep, no way to figure out if your order is one of the boxes sitting inside or not, so you just wait forever clueless.

I went to pick up an order from the Über app, but the store employee finally came to me that the ingredients of the order were missing, even though I was waiting under the sun, and I had to cancel the order and leave here.

First visit, had the Audie Cornish which is the best ham sandwich I've ever had.

7/31/25: Second visit had the Steve Julian which was good but didn't love.

Delicious. Parking can be tricky though so you may have to trek a bit.
