| - What does "Tups" mean? Is it a nickname, inside joke or the secret ingredient in their Giardiniera recipe?
Tups is located in a funky shopping center, which by the way Google maps will point you in the wrong direction if you're heading east on Windmill, just a heads up.
This small family owned deli only has only a few seats inside to sit and enjoy your lunch, so if you plan on dining-in watch out for those busy feasting hours. They offer the basic deli menu items; soups, salads, sandwiches, coffee and espresso. I ordered the half roast beef sandwich and The Greek Village salad. When I ordered my sandwich I was asked if I want everything on it, I said yes to this, just no onions and mayo. When posed with a question like that you assume your meal will be stacked with plenty of veggies, cheese and maybe an in-house tapenade, nope. I basically got two slices of roast beef, a tomato and some wilted lettuce, it' s like my 6-year-old niece made lunch for me. Believe it or not the Greek salad saved the day.
The Greek Village salad was about $10, but this thing could easily feed a small of Mediterranean food lovers. It comes filled to the brim with romaine, tomato, cucumber, red onion, green pepper, feta cheese & kalamata olives dressed with olive oil, oregano and parsley vinaigrette and served with three pieces of soft Pita bread. This alone was enough to feed me for lunch and as a side salad during dinner. Totally worth the price tag.
The customer service here is well above most snacking spots from beginning to end, which is more than I can say for most of the 5 star dining spots in the Valley. I'm not fully sold on this place as a solid go-to sandwich location, but that could change with my next visit.
