Eating that sandwich was like time travel! To a time where quality, customer service and passion for your craftstill exists. I would add a photo, but I ate it way too fast.

It seemed a little pricey but, the quality and portions really made up for that!

Me and my family has gone there for years and the sandwichs is amazing. Everyone that works there is very nice.
I don't know where they source their deli meats; I just know that the taste is significantly better than anything I've gotten from the local grocery store. The roast beef is awesome. My wife loved her tuna salad sandwich. Even the deviled eggs are awesome.
I moved away from Houston about 25 years ago but always remembered this place. I finally found myself back here and it's exactly the same and delicious. Sandwiches seem bigger. Roast beef on rye with Danish Havarti is signature. Not sure why they haven't been granted some landmark status by the city. Please Nielsen's, never change.

Great finger food! and the people are really nice recommended for u to try it I got the chicken salad sandwich.
First, let's start with the positives. The counter clerk that took my order was very friendly and knowledgeable. The person that made my sandwich seemed a little unapproachable but speaking to him he was cordial enough. The can of Mr. Pibb was good.
And that's all for the positives.
The food was absolutely terrible. The pickle that came with the sandwich was soggy and dull in flavor. But it was an absolute delight compared to the sandwich. This sandwich was awful. It was the worst sandwich I've had in my entire life, possibly one of the worst foods period I've ever had, and that includes my dad's cooking.
You know how some foods you can describe solely based on the color they evoke? Like, if I say blue Gatorade you know exactly the flavor even though it's not anything resembling nature. Well, imagine what white tastes like. That's this sandwich. The most bland thing on the planet. The bread was flavorless. The cheese had no salt. The roast beef didn't taste like beef. The clerk said their sandwich sauce was mustard based; I don't think they know what mustard is because this was more like wallpaper paste. Both in flavor and texture. It was more like glue that held this amalgamation together than it was a condiment.
Speaking of texture, that was perhaps the most interesting thing about the sandwich. Not because it was good, but because I'm impressed with how much it managed to alter my preconceived notions of what a sandwich can feel like. The bread, while bland, had the right texture. That's where the sandwich resemblance ended. I've already covered the glue sauce and limp pickle. If I hadn't seen the lettuce myself I'd have assumed I was chewing on limp celery based on the texture. Though weirdly the texture of the celery was less vegetal than the roast beef. I can't even properly describe that texture but the closest I can think of is this. Imagine you mow your lawn while it's overgrown and it's raining, and all that grass is long and clogging up your lawnmower. Grass = beef, lawnmower = mouth.
I cannot comprehend how this place is still in business. There were other people there ordering and ripping open their sandwiches on the way out the door, munching away happily. I can only presume they all have a brain injury or are secretly cattle in disguise, because I cannot fathom being happy while within a hundred feet of one of these sandwiches. I spoke to numerous people who live and work in the area and as soon as I told them where I went they visibly shuddered.
Tl;dr: staff friendly, food awful.
Parking: Parking is there but no lines for spaces so good luck

Very overdue review here- eaten here my entire life and it has always been outstanding. The Turkey and Havarti cheese on wheat is my staple but the Roast Beef and the Chicken Salad are fantastic. The deviled eggs are excellent. My mother would be writing one as well if she did reviews- she eats here on a weekly basis. This place has been around forever and there is a reason why- it's just that good!
Awesome spot! Great food.
