Great sandwiches and a classic deli atmosphere! We took ours to go and had a picnic. This is not a sit down restaurant. It also looked like they sold awesome cakes!

Good sandwiches on real soft Italian style bread. Filling and tasty. The place hasn't been redone ever I don't think - been going there off & on since 1980's

Great little hide away. Rustic and military scenery. Very busy with everyone wanting one of these fantastic sandwiches. Talked to the owner while we paid for our order. Wish he wasn't so busy because I just know he has some fantastic stories. We will be back.
