Very East Coast-style sandwich shop. Not much seating but quick service for a busy Saturday afternoon.
The quality of sandwich ingredients were a bit of a letdown for the reputation of this place and the amount of meat for $10-11 average price was poorly adequate. A sample of the three-mustard egg salad was worth it because it was not good. A little similar to egg salad on a poor buffet with no hint of mustard, nevermind 3 mustard at all. Very dry in texture, if that makes sense.
Classic roast beef definitely used old/poor roast beef that was not rare and sported that iridescent sheen/fish scale-looking film. Maybe that's why there was a special offering a free iced latte with the classic roast beef? For a sandwich shop, this is kind of unacceptable to have crappy roast beef. Hot pastrami sandwich was good albeit a little fatty in quality. The breads they use are fresh and tasty but when a sandwich uses thick-sliced bread and only has a 1/2" layer of meat in between, you are eating mostly bread. The veggies on the sandwiches are fresh and good; tomatoes a bit cheap in quality. Another letdown when you have a few vegetarian sandwiches on your menu. Pickle spears are excellent! The best part of the lunch was the triple chocolate cookie.
Overall, I would give a second trip/chance to Tups and order other items.
