I have never been to this place, but I’m so happy. I finally tried it. The tuna melt was so delicious and I can’t get enough of it.
The sandwiches are mostly below $15 and my tuna melt was 1250
In this economy, the size of the sandwich is also a decent size
For someone who’s looking for a delicious and filling lunch I highly recommend this place.
Kind staff as well!

I ordered the chicken pesto, my boyfriend had the risky business, and his sister grabbed the bbq chicken. We all went silent while eating! THE BEST SANDWICHES I've HAD IN A REALLY LONG TIME! I was so full from the first half that I had to save it for the next day and I was so excited to eat it.

The sandwiches blew my mind, they were divine, they perfected it, every ingredient, every step, they did it perfectly. These sandwiches are extremely worth the price. I would recommend this to friends and family. This place is small and the staff are talkative and motivated. They know how to make a sandwich.
