I've never seen a business close early so often. I'm from Omaha, and whenever I come through town and try and stop, they close early. They closed two hours early again today. FRUSTRATED.

A wide variety of choices, any one of them are tasty. I particularly like the Pasta Primavera and the Wisconsin cheese soup. Seating is comfortable but when it is crowded voices echo and it gets noisy.

Wonderful deli, always fresh and consistent flavors. I love out of state now, but make sure to stop by whenever I’m in town. The #8 sandwich and garlic pasta are my go-to dishes!

Fabulous deli offering sandwiches, soup,salads, deli salads, cookies, and bars. With a wide variety of each, you can find something delicious for anyone.
They are located in a business center, and parking can be tight during busy hours. Try parking in the back lot. I learned this after the fact.

Food is great. The ordering process was confusing at first, but not bad once you get the hang of it. Atmosphere was not to my taste....crowded and very loud like a cafeteria. The food will keep me going back for more.

Great lunch spot with tons of options. Soups, salads and sandwiches are all top notch here. The Caesar salad is my favorite; salads are mixed and tossed and there is a good ratio of everything in each bite.

Place is filthy with dirt all over the paneling and baseboards, and dust covering the vent grills where you order sandwiches like they haven't been cleaned in years. One vent grill was even falling off.

Ordered a beefeater which had almost zero cream cheese and for some reason a pumpernickel bun instead of brioche. Even for pumpernickel the bun was remarkably dry, especially on a sandwich with no real condiments. Arguably the worst sandwich I ever ate. One wouldn't think it took a lot of love to make a sandwich with 4 ingredients but there was nothing good about it. Nothing.

This used to be a great deli. I hope they fix whatever is going on there to bring back it's original quality. For now, it's a hard pass on my list.
