Nut allergy friendly - I put a note on GrubHub and everything turned out fine. Review is for take-out via GrubHub, which estimated a 30 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. It seemed accurate and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered "The Bay" as it was highlighted as a popular option. It is exactly as described with turkey, roast beef, yellow cheddar, and vegetables in a sesame roll. The meat was sliced thin and it was a pretty hefty sandwich. I'd say it's more expensive than I would normally pay for a sandwich and as a deli the portions are interestingly right between "not enough" and "too much." I split the sandwich with a friend for lunch and I could've eaten more afterwards, but I don't think I could've finished another half of a sandwich. Maybe with some chips or a drink it would have been perfect. Anyway, don't be afraid of the price tag as the sandwich could easily be two portions!

Sandwich savants. Sandwich engineers. Sandwich Saints. Today I ordered the special, so I am deeply sorry if you do not get a chance to experience this flavor due to rotational specials, but, it is an inspirational sando which deserves to be talked about. You deserve to know. Credit is due here. The special: Pork butt, thick melted cheddar, Acme focaccia, arugula, some kind of tangy, sweet BBQ sauce coating slices of pickled, spicy pepper. Good lord. My spouse and I split this in silence, uttering the occasional "oh my god", and "wow". The pork was sliced so thin, like sheets of tender smoky deliciousness. The bread was slightly toasted to melt the thick slices of cheddar to it, so there was a delightful crispy cronch of light, well oiled focaccia. Here's the engineering: the bottom layer of bread was just slightly wider than the top, which meant biting into the sando didn't result in sando insides falling out, spilling everywhere, requiring cleanup with your phalanges at the end of your experience-- it STAYS ON. THE FILLING STAYS IN. True sub engineering, absolutely inspirational. My only question is: is there a listserv? Will this special be back?! Thank you, Sandwich Saints.

Ordered a BLT with cheddar. Gave me two pieces of bacon and four slices of cheddar. Mostly cheddar and lettuce. First time trying a cheddar lettuce tomato sandwich. For almost $20, wow.

Service. Don't order online for pick up. Showed up said it would be 34 more minutes. Watched a dozen people come in and order, get their food, eat and leave all before I received my order (1 sandwich). Should have just canceled my order and ordered when I walked in. No real problem solving behind the counter, which was unfortunate to experience.

Amazing sandwiches with excellent baked bread and ingredients. Great Deli with a nice atmosphere and a few tables to eat.

The best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever had. Get the beast and add hot peppers.

This is very good food. Only issue I would say is you wait a long time for your food. So if in a hurry, try something else maybe. Otherwise, great spot. And they have an old Pac-Man game cocktail table!!!

Was expensive. Ordered the vegan St Francis. Nearly all bread with no fillings, ate it anyway. A poor value.

So glad this place popped up not long after I moved into the area. Having a good deli near by is a treat, and I'm a sucker for an Italian combo, which they do very well. Their weekly specials are usually on point, and service is always very friendly. If you dine in, you can even pair your sandwich with a local beer or glass of wine. I might even have to stop by today!

Easy menue selection. The staff are very nice. The sandwiches taste fresh. Some are big, so you may have some left over. The price is fair for what you get. They have canned beer too.

The Beast was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, fresh and very filling. 10/10 would return.
