We went there in the evening and I got the feeling they do a lot more business during the day. Lots of seating and few people on a Wednesday night around 7 pm. Very reasonable and low prices, for the amount and quality of food you receive. Counter service rather than sit down and be waited on. I got a soup and 1/2 sandwich combo. The 1/2 sandwich was more like a full sandwich, with thick slices of homemade bread, though it was a little light on the meat. The bread was toasted/grilled, which gave it a little bit of a crunch factor. Overall, it was filling and tasty, good but not great. The soup came in a bread bowl with the extra in a cup on the side. Unlike other places that offer soup in a bread bowl, you got a full serving of soup. The soup was cheddar broccoli, warm and filling, though I would have liked a bit more broccoli in the soup. As much as I liked the bread bowl, I would have liked the option of just having the soup in a bowl to cut down on the number of carbs in the soup and 1/2 sandwich combo. It was good soup, had a nice taste and flavor, but it didn't make a great impression on me. The best features are the quality and amount of food for the cost.

OK Deli-style food, fairly limited menu I thought. Not a very large place, limited seating. I think they do most of their business early in the day, we got there around 5:30 pm. Unfortunately, they were out of hero/sub buns for the sandwiches. My Miracle Mets sandwich was tasty, but a bit sloppy. I had asked for mayo and it seemed a bit runny. However, the amount of meat was definitely on the thick side. Two sandwiches, some Tortellini and Macaroni salads, two slices of cheesecake (had to try cheesecake from a NY-style Deli!) and a couple of drinks cost us just over $30. I thought both the salads were good but not great. The cheesecake was also ok, but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed the food, but it wasn't anything that I thought was outstanding.
