    2025 - I forgot which one this was, sorry! But it was the best!
    Shelly S.

    OMG this lady pours so much love into her food. It's like having your aunt fix you a healthy hearty meal to fill you up! The sandwiches are not cheap but they are HUGE. We got four and each of us had food for the next day. The sandwiches are shareable for sure - the issue is will you agree to the same sandwich or just get your own!? That's why we got four - but it was worth it. Plenty of free parking (pretty much a residential area) Plenty of space to eat inside if you want. Can't wait to go back and try that Apple & fruit infused drinks she makes.

    First let me say this place is heaven sent and the customer service is beautiful the owner (I forgot her name) is the sweetest soul and her energy radiates I love this place and will definitely return I got a veggie sandwich and my daughter got a turkey sandwich the sandwich was big enough to share and taste amazing I love this place while I was there I spoke to the owner and she was saying she will be relocating soon ( I was like girl wherever you go I'm gonna be right there ) lol and I wish her all the prosperity she deserves

    Upon my arrival, I noticed that the staff was quite busy preparing sandwiches for other patrons, which may explain why I wasn't greeted right away. However, I appreciated that when they did approach me, it was with kindness. I informed them that I was waiting for a friend to join me for lunch. After about twenty minutes, the staff followed up, possibly to check if they could take my order or if they were closing soon. I felt a bit hurried but also unsure if I was being encouraged to place my order. I asked if I could take a moment to browse the menu and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the sandwiches were generously sized and filled with fresh ingredients. I requested my sandwich without spicy Cajun mayo and no tomatoes. While it arrived as ordered--without tomatoes--it unfortunately still had the spicy mayo. Fortunately, they allowed me to keep that sandwich, which was a nice gesture, and promptly remade my order without the spicy mayo. I was grateful for their attentiveness. My friend chose the tuna melt and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, indulging in half of her sandwich. Each sandwich came with chips and a delightful mini dessert, a whoopie pie. I must say, one sandwich is more than enough to satisfy two, if not three, people. I'll definitely be returning, but I think I'll share a sandwich next time! I took just a couple of bites and already felt full. Thank you again, Wanda; I truly appreciate the wonderful experience you and your team provided. You made our afternoon exceptional! The total for both sandwiches plus a soda into chips we're about $57 with tip $64 And let's not forget the free one that I was able to take home that they allowed me to keep that is exceptional customer service

    This deli restaurant is a MUST TRY! Run don't walk, and make sure to double check their hours to ensure they are open when you go. This is a black woman owned business and I was happy to support! The sandwiches are humongous, definitely shareable or can be split into two or three meals. Your sandwich also comes with a large pickle, bag of kettle chips, and a moon pie. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Salad sandwich and it did not disappoint. The chicken tasted extremely fresh and the flavor was absolutely delicious. The bread was also fresh. This sandwich did have more of a kick than I thought it would, so be prepared for that. I also tried the Jerk Turkey Sandwich and that was also amazing. It comes with fresh cut turkey and the mango habanero sauce set it off! This is also pretty spicy as it also comes with jalapeños and pepperoncinis. This is absolutely a place you should visit for lunch or an early dinner. They have seating inside that offers a quick dining experience. I will be back. Highly recommend!

    So good! The sandwiches are so much, could be shared. It's 2 1/2 pounds of meat. Additionally, we got complimentary drinks. I recommend this place all day long!! Service was so good and owner was so kind and sweet!!

    DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER ! This place was amazing Wanda (the owner) was nothing but helpful and kind! Love her and her ability to communicate everything on the menu ! I would eat at a restaurant like this any day because of the hospitality. I got there after the lunch rush. The inside was quiet but I hear it gets busy. The sandwich was nothing less than amazing. I loved every bite. Wanda gave me a drink on the house since it was my first time trying and I got chips with my sandwich. Like I said I would definitely eat here again it was perfectly crafted and nothing short of amazing. Such a pleasant experience! Take a look at the beauty, a Dretta Cajun sandwich. Chef's kiss

    Turkey Pastrami
    Jay B.

    My wife was with her friends that boot scoot dance at a church function and she was introduced to the owner of this establishment and she came home with a Turkey pastrami sandwich that to this day I HAVE NOT had another sandwich since. Dying for a sandwich on Monday, my wife said they were closed. Damn. So finally got a day off and hungry was gonna go to my usual wing spot (no not Wingstop) she busts in the room talking bout, "Do you want yo sammich fix?" I said, "hells yes- call it in I will be there to pick up." I use to drive pass here when I stayed in area but never stopped. I walked in an felt a warmth over the place. Worker gave a great greeting and great customer service. The place is very nice and a nice setup. I picked up my food boxes and the heaviness made me walk out with a smile. Got home and I was happy as a fat kid that got that nice cut piece of cake and nice cold glass of milk. Thank you Thank you for this delicious meal and great service. Ohyea, I'm dying to try that Thanksgiving sammich.

    Lots an ingredients, quality, and care go into these sandwiches. I always champion local businesses and the story of this one makes it more compelling. As BEHEMOTH as these sandwiches are the only roadblock that I hit when I review this lovely establishment is the price point. At $30 (you heard right) a sandwich I would've probably been a little more choosy with my lunch. If you're treating yourself and supporting a local business, perfect. If you're hungry but on a budget, sorry Charlie.

    Spicy chicken salad sandwich
    Dolce S.

    I have been wanting to try 2nd Healthy eatery for a while now. I'm so glad I did :) Mrs. Kendrick was so welcoming so I'll definitely be back! I got the spicy chicken salad sandwich! It was delicious, spicy and huge! Definitely for two people. It came with a bag of chips. The place is pretty spacious, nice and clean :)

    Messy soggy thick low quality meat
    Joe T.

    They have thick fake meat. It's hard stiff and extremely low quality. Stale bread and this is not cool.

    Jason H.

    Ms. Wanda is a jewel. Such a sweet and welcoming person. She immediately made me feel like a friend when she noticed I worked for the same company her husband retired from. I was undecided on what to order and Wanda patiently answered all my questions. Her and her staff provided first class customer service. Shout out to Alexis too! I ordered the salad and my son ordered the pastrami sandwich. Both of which were very good and the portion sizes are made to satisfy your hunger!! The restaurant was very clean and cool, which was a plus because it was an extremely hot day. I definitely will be going back and if you're reading this, I strongly suggest you do the same.

    This is the chicken salad salad. It's huge.
    Janea A.

    The sandwiches are made with quality fresh ingredients. Boars Head, fresh cut veggies, wide variety of breads and condiments. The sandwiches are too big to fit your mouth around. They're definitely made for sharing. And the price reflects that. When I get the chicken salad salad, I put in my good salad bowl, toss it with cracked black pepper and sea salt. I put the dressings one the side but most people don't use it, I toast a baguette, and put out some fresh fruit, cookies and white wine. Voila! Sophisticated delicious lunch that takes 15 minutes to prepare and serves 4-6 people for about $60. The salad is $26. People are taken aback by the price until they get their food and then they're flabbergasted. Wanda is sweet lady and the sandwiches are named after her family. I like the Sherron.

    Philly cheese stake and kale and avocado salad

    The food is great! And the hospitality is tip top! The lady of the shop is so sweet and made sure to check that we enjoyed the food and had what we needed

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art.

So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy.

She's always welcoming, personable, and makes the whole experience feel friendly and easy.

There's also a good amount of parking right up front, so whether you're walking over like me or driving in, it's convenient either way. If you're ever craving a smoothie or a quick fresh bite, this is definitely a solid stop. Happy eats!
