    One of the best sandwhich places I've been too! They have so many options and I haven't had a bad…read moresandwich. It is also nice they offer half's and full sandwiches so you can try multiple half sandwiches! I've tried the Mississippi River, Phil and cheds, and the Alcatraz. The Alcatraz was far my favorite one. The Mississippi River was good too. They also have a back patio that's dog friendly! I cant wait to come back and visit and try more!

    WOULD recommend (general). Stopped by late morning for a quick bite, I have been here a few times…read morebefore but never actually ordered anything but its location is pretty good, right in the heart of the grove. There wasn't that much line when I went, they take your other at the kiosk by the bar. They have a large assortment of sandwiches, comes in whole OR half (which is half the price of a whole). I ordered 2 half sandwiches, "The Meatball" and "The Steak Out". It didn't take long at all to make my sandwiches and they also have options to customize specialty sandwiches if specific toppings are wanted. The Steak Out was the 1st sandwich tried, and was the best one out of the two. The steak was cooked medium rare but isn't too rare at all or overcooked past that if you are worried about that either. Not only that, but the jalapenos and the pepper mayo are to die for, and they didn't completely soak it in sauce (which is a common concern as well). Everything tastes so freshly made, with half a sandwich honestly being more than enough for 1 sitting. Overall rating 8.9/10. The Meatball was very good as well, meatballs were cooked well throughout and tender to the bite. I am not completely mad at the Baguette being the bread of choice but they couldn't have went wrong with ciabatta neither. It was a very solid sandwich, nothing too extraordinary but nothing I can really complain about neither. Overall rating 8.3/10. In past visits, I have also tried the Enzo Gorlomi (basically a spicy italian) which I thought was better than both sandwiches I tried during that visit, but I may be biased because I love spicy italian sandwiches. Should still try though in my opinion. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area, pricing is pretty good for the food amount and quality you are getting. Vibes are cool in there, they seem like a business with a lot of experience doing what they do. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best in St. Louis... yet, but they are definitely up there for sure. They are also open until 1:30AM Tues - Sat so its a great late night option.

We had Roast Beef sandwiches want to try the Chicken Parm and Salcizzia. Right up there near the top of the St Louis Sandwich game, with Goia's, BCD, and Mom's. Definitely recommend.

Ordered the porchetta with his house made Schiacciata bread. The sandwich itself reminded me of a modern version of porchetta and a bit different than other places I've had it as a sandwich. I will say that it was delicious and a very good size for the price of the sandwich. I did like his house made bread and his Italian salsa verde was on point too. No ambiance to this place at all. Was a tiny lil corner store turned into this lil deli and judging by the foot traffic while I was waiting, most are stopping in to grab a sandwich to go. Only a few small bar seats in the place and a couple of picnic tables outside. Definitely worth the visit and I could see this place really doing great if managed properly. I would go back for that porchetta!

One of the only places open on a 10 degree snow day. #1 Joe Fassi Combo Sandwich brought a tear to my eye with the first bite. It was so fresh and delicious that I did not want to set the sandwich down between bites. My wife had the meatball sandwich, which was hot, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The owner Tom made it feel like we had our own personal chef taking care of us on our lunch date. The setting was a fun Classic St Louis Style Deli on The Hill. Feels like home and a visit to another country all in the same meal. Top 5 favorite Deli's on The Hill.

The staff were friendly and very accommodating to adding or removing ingredients from sandwiches. I had Joes Italian Kicker with the homemade artichoke salad. The artichoke salad was so good. The dressing was sweet but not overly so. I am not a fan of sweet Italian so for me to actually like this item kind of amazed me but it truly was good. I did not get the tomato sauce on my sandwich, and it was far from what I had convinced myself it was supposed to be lol. I am not a fan of brats and sausages and such but I do like salami. I convinced myself that it was going to be sliced garlic and red wine salami and well that wasn't what I got but I do like to try different things so I wasn't disappointed. The sausage was amazing. So flavorful and enjoyable... again a surprise because as I said, I am not a fan of this type of sausage. Now the giardeneria, it is delicious but it says hot for a reason. It was a little too hot for me but once I removed a bit I could grab little bites with my sandwich and it was less of a mouth burning experience. The cheese and cheese garlic bread the sandwich comes with is absolutely a flavor bonus. overall this was a great meal and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Now my dining partner got meatballs and pasta salad. While she wasn't a fan of the meatballs to the point where she raves, she did say they were good just not great! However she did very much like the pasta salad. She only wished there had been less black olives. Lastly, we did ask for to go boxes for our salad Because the portion was extremely generous and we couldn't eat all of either... we started to get up to go get the containers and a staff member saw us rising and took care of getting the containers for us which was very sweet. I would like to say that a lidded bowl would be better for salads because all the dressing leaked out of the styrofoam box but that was really the only disappointment.

The ingredients seemed good but my chicken thigh was cheap, the chicken was burned, the sauce was too salty, and the sandwich was half heartedly put together. The fries and sauce were very good -- and obviously required the least effort. That's what gives me hope. The restaurant itself has sticky floors (which I've tried to avoid after I turned 30) and is a bit of a mess. There's a towel sitting under the big jug of water. It's just not clean or easy to be in. I saw the pics when you guys were a food truck. I know you were making incredible stuff. The gal at the front was friendly enough, but all in all this was a bull*hit experience considering the potential. The restaurants that are consistently good have the owners/head chef watching, caring, and making sure their workers deliver the experience that was intended. I have no doubt if someone who really cared showed up this place would be all I was hoping.

Service (5/5): The waitress was super friendly and adept at working multiple tables and behind the bar. We had no issues with ordering or timing of our food. We were sad to hear when the St. Louis ribs were sold out already! Brisket (5/5): It was so so juicy!! The meat was delicious and went well with the hot and regular bbq sauce. Loaded Pork sandwich (5/5): The meat was tender and all the sauces blended beautifully. Mac & Cheese (4/5): The rotini pasta was on the bland side. Not much creaminess and skippable. Mustard Potato Salad (5/5): I liked the mustard forward flavoring I went to Sugarfire the next day, and Hogtown was so much better by comparison.

Maybe because I came at the end of the day and they were past the rush, but they seemed flustered and it was just me and the owner at the bar. In any case, the brisket is solid, certainly gets the job done. Good smoke flavor, salt content is great. No complaints. The beans are also good. Loaded with pulled pork? Interesting because it was almost like pulled pork with beans and not beans with pulled pork. Super smoky flavor as well. I think they either needed a bit more sweetness or a touch less smoke to make to the next level. Good, convenient option for bbq and to catch a game
