I honestly don’t get it. Was the pastrami and corned beef sandwich good? Absolutely! Was it $30 good? Hell no. They didn’t even offer to toast the bread and I didn’t know that was an option until hearing someone else ask for it. The teeny tiny pickle was a joke. It was a good sandwich, but I would never visit again.

The Chipotle Pastrami is the best sandwich I’ve ever had. $30 for a sandwich is hefty but I treat myself to one about once a month

It’s worth going. Prices are on the higher end but the quality and freshness of the meat makes up for it.

What a tasty hot sandwich! It's a bit higher in price point but totally worth it with the amount of filling is loaded into this sandwich. Cant wait to come try more

Probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. I thought it was going to overhyped but it was amazing. (Chipotle pastrami)
Pastrami sandwich (we got the Chipotle Pastrami) was absolutely delicious! Texture, flavors (esp the mustard-like sauce inside), and quality were great. The $30 price point per sandwich seemed a little too high, though, for the quality - and esp for a typical lunch. With this in mind, it’s still a great stop for a tasty bite if you are prepared for the prices. We also got the half sour pickles as a side, which are a good pick if you like pickles that are mild & not sour - but not as much so if you like traditional pickles like we do. Good service overall!

I started going here when I was a co op student at Northeastern and working as a Messenger for the Hale and Dorr law firm in the Winter of 1986. I grew up in the Bronx but spent my Summers in the North End and it was about as close to Arthur Ave as I could find and was generally Boston's Best Sandwich then, as it is now. There is some competition on the cold cut sandwiches in the North End but those shops don't offer the variety or any seating. Take out only. This place is constantly good and has the best service 5 decades running. Was two sandwiches with $60 bucks? hard to know or justify but I have no idea on his overhead. I will say this I was making $8 an hour in 1986 and ate here 2x a week for 3 years. It offered value for $. Today while still the best sandwich and service I am not sure of the value proposition. I still recommend it but it's simply beyond the reach of the average worker in Boston as a daily lunch spot you would be at $250 a week easy if this was your go too. This is kind of sad. I still drive in a few times a year from Metro West for a sandwich. It seems more now filled with tourists than the daily Boston workers, but I suppose post COVID this new model of pricing is the only way to offset the fact that there are far less workers in Boston.

Hands down, these are some of the absolute best sandwiches in Boston! I've never once walked away disappointed—this place consistently delivers top-tier quality, flavor, and satisfaction every single time.

Hands-down the best sandwich in Boston. Expensive, but worth the price.

Got the gluten free pastrami diablo and potatoe salad 🤤🤤. If you are in Boston definitely come and try Sam LaGrassa's
