Really nice cozy spot with really friendly staff. Had a satisfying vegetarian sandwich that I was surprised to see. Definitely will return.

the sandwiches here are absolutely phenomenal. bread is homemade, chips are homemade, pickles are homemade. unique bread for each sandwich. the italian was so good—i’ve been trying to find a the best italian sandos in chi and this is def a contender. saw others getting charcuterie boards and they look bomb. the sandwiches are certainly pricey — $17-20 per — but i would say that the quality does come through from it. but ordering 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees plus tip and tax was $60 bucks, so that’s a lot for lunch.

i would say that the service here is extremely slow and somewhat disorganized. took a long time to get seated, took even longer for a server to come out and take our order, we waited for our drinks for 15-20 minutes, waters were brought twice and then the extra waters were just left on the table. i noticed that there were multiple servers hitting the same table like they weren’t sure which tables they were supposed to be serving. not a huge deal, just disorganized. it wasn’t such a big deal for us today as we had the time to chill — just noting it for people who may be on their lunch break or otherwise need to be more efficient with their time — you can order to-go from the counter.

Ordered Hotel California and Rueben sandwiches for my wife and I. Bread was dried out on both sandwiches. The pastrami on the Rueben was over cooked leaving a dried and hard. Very disappointed. The sourdough did not have much flavor at all. Underwhelmed.

Delicious food, super customizable and so unique. We love coming here when we visit the city! If you get the pleasure of having Jordan serve you, you’ll have an unforgettable dining experience. The drinks and desserts are absolutely delish too!

Frenchie & Capicola were some of the best sandwiches I've had. Will be back.

Michelin Guide is right on. Too many things on the menu I want to try. Tip: if you've had a lot of Reubens in your life, don't let that stop you from ordering a Reuben here. You've not tasted one like this.

DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE. The best experience my partner and I have had in Chicago. Our server (Meg?) was phenomenal! Warm, welcoming, energetic, and most of all excited about what she was serving! The charcuterie is made in house and was delicious. Definitely get the spicy coppa! Overall, a fantastic experience. I'll be recommending this place to everyone I know!

Just ok.

The pluses: Restaurant and patio are very cute. The pickles with the sandwiches are excellent.

Needs Improvement: We asked our server for recos on some sandwiches we were thinking about and she responded a bit snippily that she was Vegan... Kinda an odd serving job at a literal MEAT PALACE. She wasn't very attentive or friendly. The Frenchie was a bit of a let down. The ham was more like a pork loin flavor and overall just kinda lacked. The baguette was very very toothsome, hard to eat. My friend got the Italian and that bread was also hard. She even commented it felt like day old bread.

I was excited for this place but it was a bit of a let down.

Cozy cafe with fantastic drinks and delicious food near the train stop. They also do to go orders!

Will be back.

Maybe my salt taste is diminishing, but I found the broccoli salad under seasoned. Frenchie sandwich was tasty however the construction seemed rough and uneven. These are just nitpicks though, on a place with superior, luxurious meat products they make in-house. Reasonably priced for this economy. I will definitely be coming back to try dinner, which I hope and anticipate will earn that 5th star.

Stopped in the other night for ~girl dinner~ and it was lovely. They were out of a few of the things we wanted to order, but everything we got was delicious! Typical Logan Square nonchalant service. Overall a nice spot, for a Michelin starred joint though I just expected a litttttle more.

Great spot. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is simply amazing. Best in town by far.

Unprofessional.. I asked for a shot of coffee and they gave me an once and a half of coffee. I guess they think people don’t know the difference.

I have had this place in my list to eat at since I read an article about Michelin quality charcuterie. We tried 7 different varieties of the charcuterie and I was very pleased with the great quality of them. I do recommend
