This place is probably one of the only spots in santa monica you can get a great sandwich for less than $20. They have been around for over 100 years. Defiantly a must if you visit santa monica. order online about 20 minutes before you go to get your sandwich faster.

MAXX Love

I ordered two Sandwiches with everything plus extra Mayonnaise. The Lady put Very little Tomatoes 🍅, pickles, Cheese Mayo. I ask for Mesquite Turkey. She gave me regular Turkey. I was very Disappointed with the amount of Turkey she put on my Sandwiches. The Sandwiches were so dry I had to look and see if she put Mayonnaise. She put very very little. I would of returned the Sandwiches but I was on the Freeway when I started eating. Be ware of who makes your Sandwiche. I wasted over $35.
