Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Delicious food, a fun and relaxed atmosphere."
  • "From the delicious, freshly baked bread to the diverse and quality selection of meats and cheeses, I was blown away and quite filled."
  • "Best sandwiches in the city. Sandwich was fresh, bread was one of a kind, the meat was perfectly cut and seasoned."
  • "The sandwiches are great and super cheap."
  • "The bread has good crunch but a pillowy interior, the meats are old school classics, and all the accompanying cheeses and veggies take these eats well over the finish line."
  • "The sandwiches at the shop are like none other they'll change your life."
  • "The sandwiches were fresh and filling."

Cons:

  • "The bread is a big part of the problem. They need new bread."
  • "Idk what the reviews are about, the sandwich was rather bland and had no depth in flavor."
  • "Ordered two sandwiches... both sandwiches were exactly the same and poor quality."
  • "Beyond that, it was pretty poorly made — bad portioning of ingredients, sloppy, cheap meat."

Service

Pros:

  • "Bartenders are very friendly and easy to talk to."
  • "The owner is extremely warm and welcoming even though he’s extremely busy and doesn’t have to be there he cares that much folks."
  • "The bartender and chef were amazing. Great conversation with everyone and old movies playing in background."
  • "Staff is friendly, made quality checks."
  • "Great bartender as well - keeps you company while you wait for your great sandwich."
  • "The bartenders and kitchen staff were excellent."
  • "Bartender was attentive and very nice, bubbly girl that could tell a good story."

Cons:

  • "On 4-5 different occasions with different bartenders, I’ve been overcharged because they failed to ring up the happy hour deal correctly."
  • "The bartender was rude and should not work in hospitality."
  • "Meanwhile, person behind the bar was distracted by his phone, had to ask for my name multiple times."
  • "The male bartender on Saturday afternoon sucked. No acknowledgment for the sandwich taking forever nor was he nice and welcoming."
  • "Then there was the rude bartender. She wasn't rude to me, but she said some nasty things about one of the customers."
  • "I’ve been in there on one other occasion late night where the bartender was a bit of an a-hole."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "A uniquely fun and vintage atmosphere all shared by some really great people."
  • "Native New Yorker, this place reminds me of old school Lower East side places."
  • "If you like the lower east side you will fall in love with this bar."
  • "The styling inside as a 1970s watering hole was perfectly done."

Cons:

  • "The shop is kinda cringey."
  • "Vibe is great, but the bar area had an unfortunate piss smell."
