Stopped in yesterday for a late? lunch. I have been wanting to try for long time, but just always end up down here on their closed days. Oh my goodness! As soon as I walked in the door I knew it was going to be all over awesome AND fun, besides my favorite type of place! I loved the cool loud music , the entire atmosphere is energizing & happy People were coming in after a full day of rafting & such but it's great for anyone who enjoys themself in a fun atmosphere. They Do have outdoor patio (fur babies anyone?, very per friendly). Service was fast & friendly!
Sandwiches are made fresh whether hot or cold! All ingredients are prepared while you wait a short time. It's busy during the spring and summer rafting season but worth any wait! You'll be glad you stopped in this unique Mom and Pop sandwich shop! Friday is taco night and Monday night is homemade meatloaf dinner! The help is gracious and friendly- a fun place to get a yummy meal! Also, if you want a beer with your meal they have choices to go with the games on big screen. Try them out! You will be glad you did.
Stopped by for a quick bite after a beach day. I was pleased to see multiple options for vegetarians, which isn't common at sandwich places in my experience! The menu for meat-eaters is extensive as well. I ordered one of the large veggie sandwiches (I'm blanking on the name) on Dutch crunch bread. It was a big and tasty sandwich, with plenty of cheese and veggie toppings. The Dutch crunch was excellent even though it wasn't made in house. My parents got small meat sandwiches, which still were a decent size and apparently tasty as well.
This is a neighborhood gem. I just ordered a pastrami yummy sandwich - Excellent pastrami - very good quality as well as the condiments, and fresh bread! They have an outside seating if you have dogs and bunch of fresh beer on draft. Great place for kids and food.
This is an excellent sandwich shop. I would only suggest to them to chop up the sun dried tomatoes.
Perfect spot to stop by after white water rafting nearby. Great sandwiches at a super reasonable price and the staff could not be nicer. I got a half hot beef sandwich and it was packed with beef smothered generously with tangy BBQ sauce. The potato salad here is pretty solid as well - grab a large portion to share with friends. There's a foosball table in the back you can play for for free too if you want to kill some time. Overall, good lunch spot!
