Three people in our group, each ordered a different sandwich and everyone was delighted ! Long lines, moved pretty fast, but well worth the wait.

the sandwiches were great, the location was convenient, however they were expensive ($50 for lunch for 3) and you are expected to know what you want to order immediately. They are so busy that you have literally seconds to decide.

This place seems to be a Boston icon. The sandwich was a little pricey but delicious. I had pastrami with honey mustard. It's more of a take away place so there are few tables and it is quite casual.

Found this out of the way gem thru Trip Advisor. Was not disappointed. Wife had the corned beef and pastrami and I had the roast beef on asiago roll. Place was busy but the service is great and the line moves fast. Highly recommend!

I never thought a sandwich could taste this amazing. I had the pastrami cornbread combo. Very busy place.... Be sure to know what you want when they ask you. This is a must try.

Be prepared to wait in line for a little, but the line moves fast. We visited here this past weekend and were not disappointed. You have got to go the corned beef or pastrami route. I went with the combo of both. I would definately recommend this gem to anyone visiting Boston.

Best sandwich I've ever had! Hands down! How this little shop produces such GREAT food is a mystery. I did something I NEVER do while travelling: I went back. It was THAT good!

This may sound a little strong for a sandwich shop, but this place is incredible. Well worth the wait. Portions are large. Service was good. And food....... you cant go wrong!

I ordered the grilled chipotle pastrami sandwich and was absolutely blown away by the riot of flavors in my mouth. It is by far the best sandwich I have ever tasted. Since my wife ordered the pastrami sandwich, I was fortunate enough to try that one too. Flavorful and well-made, but not as tasty or enjoyable as the chipotle pastrami.... More

My wife and I stopped in and were very pleased with our selections. I got a special they were offering which was a type of a philly - It was high quality. My wife had a great turkey club. Overall pleased with the environment and the quality of the food.
