The cheesesteak sandwich was awful! Lol. It wasn’t seasoned at all and I tasted clove?! I felt as though I wasted my money! I love the inside of the place. The menu was confusing. A mixture of Mediterranean and American. I wish I would have gotten something else. Don’t get the cheese steak sandwich!

The Chicago Dog was very good!! A must try! We also had the special, the Reuben Chicago Style. Good deal, but not a lot of meat on it. The sandwich was just ok. Loved the shop, customer service was good.

A Killer Pastrami Reubin!! One of the best I've ever had in my life. I must edit my stars ordered a Reubin and it was the worst one I've ever had. They used the hard drierend of the marble rye and flipped it over to make the sandwich. Portion was smaller than usual. I have a pic. Couldn't eat the bread so chewy.

Fun little spot in historic Issaquah. Atmosphere is decorated with fun signs. The look is like a garage with a clear door. We had the Rueben Chicago Style and the Classic Chicago Pastrami. I'm not a huge pastrami eater but I thought the sandwiches were very flavorful. Hubby prefers more peppery. We did take a taste of the cold Armenian Pastrami. It had a different taste that we liked a lot. We finished off lunch with a traditional Armenian coffee that was hot and flavorful with cardamon. It was served in lovely cups. We will pop by again to try other things. Will definitely have the coffee again.

Chicago Pastrami is a phenomenal restaurant! When in the area, this is the best place to go to. The garlic aioli fries are out of this world, and the house burger is packed with beef and pastrami at levels which you don't see nowadays. Great place to try out if you're in the area!
This restaurant has the best sandwiches ever. Highly

First of all, the place gives good, funky old school vibes, service is super nice,The main positions in menu are awesome, pastrami had rich taste, it's juicy, Ruben sandwich has that nice kick from sauerkraut, philly was also great, 5 stars for that,Only things I'd recommend to improve are fries (I got curly?) they are OK, can be better, and maybe toast your buns to give them extra crunch, or maybe I didn't notice it as sandwiches were super warm, I don't recall if you have classic roast/Italian beef on the menu, that'd be another Chicago classic.I'll come back for sure and i recommend everyone to try it - you'll love it, real stuff!

I’m from Chicago. Not Authentic. Was hoping for a taste of home and this IS NOT it. They need to just not serve the vegetable mix and order an authentic Giardiniera from Vienna Beef.

The best part of the whole meal was the Coca-Cola that came with it.. Very bland was almost no taste. The Onion rings were okay.

WOW. I can not believe this is what real pastrami is like. I've wasted my life eating things pretending to be pastrami. The MOST delicious thick cuts of pastrami with the right amount of fattiness. I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu.
