Fun hole-in-the-wall, located in industrial/business complex. Had great reviews on Google so tried it with my mother in tow. We split The Missile pressed sandwich, like a Cuban, on French roll. Fresh, moist, messy, and delish! They were great about Mom & I splitting, providing 2 cups of their bbq drizzle and two forks for the yummy homemade potato salad. The place was clean & cheery, and they seemed to know their regulars on a first name basis. Prices were right for fresh sammys, sides, and salads. Well be back!

Great place to get a tasty sandwich, I enjoy the pastrami on rye with a bag of chips and Dr Pepper. The breakfast burritos are also delicious. Kari makes her sandwiches magically delicious and always has a smile to go with it.

Yummy sandwiches and very good salads. Nice little place! Fresh and good. Nice people. The giant hot dog is giant, and the Cesar salad rocks. Super fresh.

First visit. 4 stars. Im coming back again tomorrow to try something new.I ordered the Missile today; Bread was fantastic, combination of flavors from pickles, mustard and cheese was good. The bbq was really tangy rather than sweet which is what this needed. Ill edit this with additional information after my next sandwich.Okay, next sandwich was not on the menu and damn good. The Alpha Omega which consisted of a PB&J on a steamed then lightly toasted sour dough with ultra crispy bacon and jalapeno. The sandwich was created by a local contractor company group which is awesome to know. The combination of flavors on this is amazing and an absolute must try! If I could change anything it would be a little but thinner bread but they did make up for that with a very generous portion of bacon! More to come as I continue to eat at this little gem of a place

The sandwich was perfect. Soft bread, fresh veggies, and they didnt skimp on the ingredients. I had clam chowder and it was just right, hot, creamy, and clammy. It is a small venue, but if you are looking for a nice lunch, this is it.

Everything is literally fantastic. I cant believe I just found this gem a few months ago. Now it is my go to spot for lunch when I am in the area. I have been eating through the menu and havent had anything that I didnt love. The thing that separates these sandwiches from the others is that they steam their bread, and it make the sandwiches phenomenal. If you havent been here, you need to get in and check it out ASAP. You will not be disappointed!

Service was great! Staff are very friendly and after we finished they asked how everything was. Ordered the Classic BLT and was out in a couple minutes and brought to our table. They have seating indoor and outdoor. Great little place for a quick grab and go or sit down lunch!

The food is great, but I have to mention that the man working there is so RUDE. He makes me not want to buy their food. The woman, on the other hand, is always very sweet. She deserves for her restaraunt to prosper. Unfortunately, she needs to find a new partner.

Damn good food and atmosphereI like the location very secluded from where normal people roam, the missile sandwich is a must if you like pulled pork, haven’t had any bbq that wet in a good minute. Highly recommend!

I love it here. Im glad that 2 of the electrical wholesale houses are by this place because when Im in this area, this is my favorite place to go eat. I always get the California split, and its always delicious. I also like the potatoe salad. For those with a sweet tooth, you might not be able to leave without having a Twinkie, since they will be hanging right in your face, along with some chips. You might want to call in your order, if youy dont want to be waiting in line. It does get pretty busy, and for good reason. They are I uber eats, which Ive never tried before, but since Im in cathedral city and they deliver for 5 bucks, Ill have to try it one of these days. Keep up the great work, and keep rthday delicious food coming.

My husband and I went yesterday as it was our first time in the area. We see the guy, probably the owner, as soon as we walk in, nope not one hello or welcome!!! Its like, sorry for buying food from your place. Seems like he doesnt like life at all...thoughts and prayers for him..the lady doing the sandwiches with purple hair kept cussing like a sailor as she was making the food...maybe theyre born with it, maybe theyre racist,,.
