The bright neon lights flashing FAMOUS across the street beckoned for us to head over and try it out... so we did.\n\nI ordered the Sammy's Special, which is 5 ounces of corned beef topped with sauerkraut or cole slaw, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on your choice of rye. I went with sauerkraut and rye bread. I also got a side of potato salad b/c it costs a buck and I was kinda worried I'd still be a little hungry after the sandwich. The sandwich was alright; the corned beef wasn't as salty as I expected and sliced really thin. I would've liked my bread toasted, the heat of the meat and sauerkraut warmed up the bread from the inside. Toasted bread might have also held up to the wetness of the sauerkraut and Russian dressing; the bread was extremely soggy by my last bite.\n\nOne of my companions said their pastrami was underwhelming and to stick with corned beef (he had two sandwiches).\n\nThe potato salad was pretty standard with a dijon mustard base. \n\nThey also have a bar in the dining section of the place, but since it was around 2:30 PM in the afternoon I decided not to get a beer at that time.\n\nOverall I was satisfied with my meal and I'd probably drop by again if I was in the area, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get their sandwich."^^ . .
