My go to sandwich shop/deli in the city. I have never had a bad sammy or bad service here. There will be a line but it moves fairly quickly. Grab a cookie and thank me later. The selection of drinks is top notch because they carry excel brands. Looking for a great sammy in the city this is your place.
This is a must stop location if traveling through St Louis. No one puts more meat on their sandwiches, than BCD. No regrets, hands down greatest sandwiches. I love the Veno roast beef sandwich. Be prepared, the line starts coming out the door and down the block as soon as it opens. Get there early or enjoy standing in line. It's worth the wait though. Military discount, in uniform. Recently tried the salad and it was excellent.
One of the best sandwich spots in St. Louis.
