Fun local deli right next to a fire station, so you know the food is legit.Staffs were friendly. Portions were large.Grown-up Grilled Cheese was delicious. The BBQ brisket were tender and melts in my mouth.Steaktip sub was huge, my friend couldn't even finish. Can't go wrong with steak tips plus peppers and onions.

The first time that I tried this place, I ordered a Cuban sandwich and I really really loved it. It was very delicious.Today, me and my boyfriend decided to order dinner from here, he ordered a burger and I ordered a capresse melt and I must say that I am very disappointed at it. It supposed to come with mayo and pesto and it tastes more like mayo and eggs. They put a lot of mayo and you can’t even taste the pesto. It’s supposed to be a “melt” but the cheese wasn’t melted at all. I thought that it was going to be sliced thing melted mozzarella. It was cold thick mozzarella.Next time I’ll just stick to the Cuban sandwich, I pretty much just ate half of the sandwich because it wasn’t good at all and to end, they put a lot of red onions. It would be better think sliced onions in a moderate amount.Would never order again this sandwich.

Underrated, great menu. Fast service and friendly staff. I usually sit by the window to people watch. Compared to the [grocery deli up the street], it's a good value.

What an unflavorful unsatisfying overpriced burger. How do you not season the patty? Two tiny pieces of brisket. Overcooked too. Only plus was xtra curly fries (they were soggy lol)

We had a great sandwich and cookies. They have a large menu that we are looking forward to sampling in the future. The owner supports local artists. November 2023 there is a photography show on one

Great food always friendly staff. It definitely needs a reno / paint and deep scrubbing. it's looking quite 'worse for the wear' It'd also be nice to see a wider range of art such as JPLicks has.
