    Close up of the ole Smokey Joe Sandwich
    Bailey B.

    Well, I've been to this location twice now and it seems I really do just feel "meh" about it. I wanted to try it again after the first mediocre experience since the reviews were so great, but I think I stand by my opinion. This deli is in downtown Decatur. Despite being downtown, I think parking is fairly plentiful and accessible, though ymmv. It's a fairly large restaurant with a pretty heavy bar/tavern feel. Menu items are mostly soups and sandwiches, with a few exceptions. The decorations are kind of cute, with some Decatur-themed things (like a poster-sized Monopoly space advertising the deli itself). I've found the clean level acceptable but not astonishing on my visits. Service is okay. Despite a fairly long delay between my visits, I think I had the same waitress twice. She was nicer the second time -- first time I felt sort of like I was burdening her. You seat yourself and it can take several minutes before someone comes by to check on you, even when not terribly busy. Once you're noticed, I felt both times a little rushed to place my order and pay, though that could be because I arrived around 1:45 and they close at 3. Still plenty of time to eat and scoot imo but I get it. Both times, I got the half sandwich and soup option because I like that portion size for lunch. I also got the chicken "la la" (enchilada) soup as my soup, and I will say this is the best thing I've tried there. A little spicy, a little creamy, lots of beans and corn. It's solid! The soup comes with a square of jalapeño cornbread, which on both visits was quite cold and very dry. Crumbling it on the soup helps if you're into that but I kind of like the soup on its own. For sandwiches, I've tried their take on a grilled cheese as well as the "Smokey Joe," which has smoked turkey, cheese, thousand island, lettuce, and bacon. No tomatoes for me. Both sandwiches were FINE, but not any better than what you could make at home quite comfortably. I get that sometimes you want something simple fairly quickly, but I was just a little disappointed. The turkey sandwich in particular had decent flavor but was constructed such that the sourdough bread was sopping wet and disintegrating by about bite two, which made it very hard to eat. The bacon was also very disappointing, thin and not very crispy. Again, nothing particularly bad here, but not a place I'd really go out of my way to return to. If I come back, I'll continue trying different sandwiches to find one that suits me.

    Very good food and very good service. The beef and cheddar was very good . Highly recommend if you are in the area. Also a great beer selection

    First visit, came here for lunch and the place was packed. Had to grab an open seat at the bar. It is a full bar with several draft offerings and a couple TVs for your viewing enjoyment. Bartender was busy, but ultimately, service ended up being adequate. I ordered the Thompson turkey Reuben with a side of potato salad. Solid sandwich with good flavors, potato salad was excellent. The Brick offers several food options in a local tavern atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

    Downtown hoagie w chicken la la soup
    Cheryl M.

    Came here for lunch. Everything was fantastic! My friend got a spicy bloody Mary and she said it was really good. For lunch, I ordered the downtown hoagie and my friend ordered rob's rib eye sandwich. We then gave each other half. Both sandwiches were delicious! I would order either one again. For an upcharge you can get a cup of soup. I got the chicken la la. It was delicious! My friend got the cheese soup and she really liked it. If I lived here, I would come here all the time. The food was fantastic, service was great, and just a nice atmosphere.

    All they offer are split sandwiches and fry baskets. What a shame if they had a larger food offering one could actually take and utilize the outdoor patios and enjoy an evening out. Puny food puny service heavy prices. Too bad. Beware though competition is coming this place not be around long. .. zzz xxx. Bcc can. Be. He was

    Luv sandwich with loaded potato soup
    Laurie M.

    There were so many sandwiches to choose from and all looked delicious! I ordered the club which had the perfect ratio of meat to bread to cheese. It was excellent. The potato soup was good but a little on the bland side. A sharper cheese & a little more bacon could kick it up a notch. I wish wish wish this place had some fries or onion rings for a side and maybe a few appetizers. The beer selection was a combination of some local drafts and some staple brews from the larger breweries. Excellent service and atmosphere.

    This place constantly is terrible. Can't ever get a single order right. I'm finally done trying…read morewith them. Tonight I ordered a classic chicken, got a Philly. Asked for no onions on the classic chicken, got plenty of onions. I also order the Italian with mayo and onions. Got it with no mayo nor onions. The bread was very hard and somewhat stale. The fries were either very overcooked or they were very old. Ordered the kids meatball sandwich. Literally 3 little tomatoes were the sauce. Forgot the chips with the kids meal. Tried to call them but they close at 7. Just done with the place. Back to Jersey Mikes I go!

We arrived after 1 and the restaurant had 2 customers. We were warmly greeted and placed a to go order. The restaurant is very clean. The footlong Authentic Italian hits all flavor profiles for an Italian sub. Both of us cannot eat enough of the Authentic Italian. The combination of meats complement each other very well. Our favorite sub here. 5/5 We tried a footlong Chicken Bomb this time. I loved it. To me, the chicken tasted so much better. Both of us were surprised at how delicious the chicken was since the Steak is the most popular sub. 5/5 I signed up my first visit to be a rewards member. I was able to get $5 off my order yesterday. I earned points and my next visit I will get another $5 off. What a deal. If you like subs, grinders or hoagies, please stop by and give this locally owned restaurant a try. The Authentic Italian is the bomb to us!!! 5/5
