“Excellent”

Excellent deli with fresh baked breads and delicious soups. You have to wait in line for the fresh made sandwiches, but the hot food is good and there is rarely much of a wait for it. The prices are good for the breads and soups too. The store is interesting and you can find many hard to find items there. more

Be careful what you say at this establishment. If you don't know how to order they will be rude to you. Then if you stand up for yourself and ask them not to be so rude, they kick you out and ask you never to return. We will never return. more

Amazing, fantastic sandwiches. Pastrami to die for. Begin planning for lunch around 10am and get your order in fast so you can get your food in time for lunch. Completely worth it. more
