| - This place is everything I've ever wanted in a sandwich shop and more. Let me just start off by saying that I'm not a huge fan of delis and sandwich shops in general... They usually have that weird smell and they either half ass everything (cheap ingredients thrown together) or overdo it with what I consider unnecessary ingredients. I'm a traditionalist; give me sandwich with just a handful of good quality ingredients, and I'm a happy camper. This place does exactly that. No frills sandwiches, generous portions and carefully crafted.
The space is beautiful, light and full of open space inside with plenty of seating and a nice big chalkboard menu so you don't have to lean over the guy in front of you to see what they have. Service was good, I didn't feel rushed and they were helpful in answering questions and making recommendations. They will also bring your sandwich out to you if you order in.
The price cannot be beat, around $10 but this sandwich is enormous, not quite up to the size of Slyman's, but pretty close. What I especially appreciate is that their sandwiches are carefully stacked in nicely packed layers so you get a perfect bite every time. For myself, I could only finish half of the sandwich... And I consider myself to have a pretty good appetite if that helps give you perspective.
What really sets this place apart is the ingredients. Everything from the high quality meat and cheese, to the fresh veggies, to the bread... Oh the bread! It's all just perfection. They also have some nice sides to choose from, Old City Sodas and homemade potato salad and pasta salad. White people salads aren't really my thing, but from what I can tell they switch up the different kinds of salads which is a nice touch.
This place definitely exceeded my expectations and can't wait to try more.
I'll be back Gabe's Deli... Soon.
