CrysDApril 9, 2014Leave where ever you are now!!! Alert this place is Redics! Hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, and salads. Avocado highway add smoked salmon! Save room for a specialty pop and dessert!
John DiazAugust 6, 2012Tremendous place, from the very tasty & BIG sandwiches to the very attentive & helpful staff (but not overly so). The bread's great, desserts are great, the drinks are great...everything's great here.
Lee MovicApril 17, 2015Wide variety of sandwiches with store-roasted/cured meats, plus cool chips from STL. But a little pricey and our sandwich was kind of hard to eat. Sandwich is 90% construction.
Everything is good here! So many great choices! They are also set up to perfect your picnic with the variety of sides, desserts, wine and beer! Gr8 svc too!- The 5 spice pulled pork was too sweet & potent, and the bread was soaked on the bottom, but we all shared our sandwiches and the Loins on Fire and roast beef seasonal sandwich were both delicious.
They overload the sandwiches! They do not disappoint. Tones of avocados and veggies! They also have a great selection of old fashioned sodas!
You'll need to try every sandwich and every soda here. You can also get cuts of meat and wines to go here too.- The guys here are really awesome. Came 5 min after closing and they still let me order. They were out of chicken but suggested pork on my sesame chicken salad instead. Love the great service & food!!
Their Fog Salad is amazing and their seasonal specials are always unusual and unexpected.
Julio VillarespeJanuary 18, 2018You must try the Cali-Cubano! But the others sandwiches are delicious too.
Finally! A good place for amazing salads. Southwest chicken salad and turkey Cobb-ler. Yum!
Josh NolanNovember 4, 2017Definitely quality ingredients. Sandwiches are on average about $11. Perhaps a bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for here.
Break the bank and get one of their cookies!!! They are delicious!
- Hmmm are the basil center pieces for seasoning? Love it

"Excellent park for families to enjoy. The animals healthy and well fed. Recommendation for the bus ride sitting on the right side as the animals look better. Recommended"
