The food is top-quality, made with best ingredients and freshly prepared. All the deli staples are here, with large portions and friendly service. Sandwiches (hot and cold) are their specialty, with a good selection of traditional salads and sides, and some soups. The dining area is busy but friendly, perfect for an active, chatty lunch or brunch.

The Jewish Sliders are the best thing on the menu... Between the tender brisket, the potato pancake, and the brown gravy... Lord help me. Service was quick and everybody is friendly. Can't get enough of this place. Ruebens are ridiculous too.

Quick place to grab a sandwich or breakfast. Meat is fresh, great potato salad. Frozen tatter tots instead of home fries on the weekdays. Bummer. I love the guy who makes sandwiches and rings me up. Such a great attitude. Makes you stop in the middle of your day and think the world just might be an ok place.
