    My half of a club sandwich
    Denise T.

    Found this sandwich shop in Seattle on Yelp. I was concerned when about 10 orders came in right before we got there with only lady making the sandwiches. I was pleasantly surprised to have ordered delivered in like 6- 7 minutes. Our club sandwich was made with a generous amount of turkey, crisp bacon and awesome sourdough bread. Friendly, efficient staff with great food. A great find near the Space Needle.

    Breakfast sandwich
    Josiah D.

    Stopped in for a breakfast bite and coffee. The atmosphere was pretty calm and the staff was nice. I ordered a small breakfast sandwich with ham and bacon and cheese/egg. The meat was sliced deli meat which was a bit disappointing for a $10 breakfast sandwich. The aioli was tasty. I also grabbed a caramel latte which was pretty standard. Overall a decent stop!

    Tastier with this view!

    Was craving pho or banh mi sandwich and the banh mi won out. This place delivered! I had their pork sandwich combo and it was delicious. The bread was so fresh! Highly recommend!

    Delicious sandwiches! We both had hot sandwich, the grilled cheese with ham (panini style) and the Reuben. Nice bread with a bit of crunch. Service was lovely,very friendly and helpful. We will be back for breakfast before the week is over!

    Grilled pork bahnmi & pistachio mocha latte
    Melody Y.

    Stepped inside this cozy little cafe for lunch. The pistachio mocha latte was comforting and delicious. The grilled pork bahnmi was perfect - the baguette was flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The grilled pork was tender and flavorful. The sandwich was a perfect balance of savory and refreshing.

    Tofu Banh Mi
    Huong L.

    This place have been on my list for a while now since it's not your typical place to get a banh mi in my opinion, so I was intrigued. Their hours are also very limited so I took a chance when I was running errands in the area :) It's only take out at the moment and they have a small window where they take your order and another small window next to it to grab your food I came during lunch time and they were pretty busy but it wasn't too bad. The people there are very nice. It seems like there are regulars that come by here as well. I ended up getting the tofu banh mi ($8.5). The banh mi was pretty good. The baguette was soft and fluffy, it would have been perfect if they toasted it more to give a small crunch. The tofu was delicious. Very well marinated and flavor was on point. My only critique is that they didn't have enough fillings to help Ballance the tofu, because after a while, tofu can seem too sweet. Overall, I'm glad to have given it a try :)

    Empty cafe, where chairs are the customers
    Andrew E.

    Takeout only. Was looking for something to eat. Walked over here becuase it was supposedly open only to see all their chairs stacked up inside. It's not a cafe, it's currently a food window. Food truck without wheels.

    Excellent pork Bánh mì sandwich! Note that only walk up window service is currently offered.

    I am a bit torn on Big Mike's. While they serve up a great sandwich, I don't know that it's a…read moremust-visit. Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too. My kids loved the MOD Pizza nearby. While there isn't anything wildly unique going on at Big Mike's, they are still pushing out great sandwiches at reasonable prices with a no-frills ordering process.

    We needed somewhere quickly and this place fit the bill. The Philly cheesesteak was very tasty and…read moreso were the steak fries. Both were piping hot. The workers looked mean, scary, and looked like they wanted to hurt us. Get someone friendly in there and you'll get higher stars in the review

    When I used to work within walking distance of Pike Place Market, this would be one of several…read moresandwich places my coworkers and I would hit up for their ready-to-go sandwiches. For this visit, i came here on a Saturday noon after finding literally everywhere else I wanted to eat at full or plagued by long lines. I mean here also has long lines but it goes by quick. Staff are proactive on grabbing your stuff, toasting them if you want them to, and bringing out your orders after paying. There's a ton of sandwich options, and all are on display along with their ingredients. You can either get half a sandwich for $7 or a whole one for $13, and there are other baked goods like baked potatoes, pasta bake and shepherd's pie. Seating consists of wall seating that you need to bus yourself. and water and napkins are self-serve. I got half of a roasted beef and gorgonzola sandwich, and my bestie got half of a crispy chicken sandwich. We also shared a chicken and parmesan pasta bake, all of which we asked to be toasted. - My bestie's crispy chicken sandwich's chicken could have been more crispy. There wasn't too much pepper seasoning on it either. - The chicken and parmesan pasta bake tasted more like mac and cheese, and wasn't the best. - The real winner for both of us was my roasted beef and gorgonzola. Normally I don't enjoy blue cheese because of how pungent it tastes, but this sandwich - along with the nicely caramelized onions - gave a fresh, savory taste and even enhanced the flavor profile of the roast beef for both of us. My bestie went back at a later time just to have their roasted beef and gorgonzola, so it's clear we have a favorite here! I'm down to find more favorites and go-tos in future visits.
