Look, c'mere lemmie tell you something .... The way I ate that sandwich was OBSCENE . The next time…read moreI get one I'm gonna have to eat it under a sheet to hide my shame. It was a weekday after work. I went to my homegirl's house because I missed her birthday I offered to take her out someplace nice. She said no way man and immediately said we were going to this sandwich shop. This was the only thing she wanted. So we were gonna veg out on her couch. Have a couple cocktails and whatever else and watch something on TV. And her new couch is the bees knees. For me, the sandwich was perfect. The bread was beautiful and crusty. I was afraid it was going to be toasted and too crusty, and I'd be fighting to bite it and my sandwich guts spilling out while cutting up my gums and the roof of my mouth like it's Captain crunch or something.. BUT NO! It was PERFECT to bite through. They load you up with the meat they're not stingy. And the sauces... BABY! The aïoli was fantastic. My only beef is that horseradish aioli needed a little bit more of a kick, but that's a personal problem. My friend got the chicken Caesar and I see why it's popular. It is so garlicky and delicious. I already have plans on what I'm gonna get next time I go and I don't live close so it's gonna take a special trip and I intend to make it.

Hands down, the best Italian sandwich I've had in Richmond and in years…read more I don't eat much bread these days for obvious reasons, and I've pretty much cut way back on processed meats too. But every once in a while, you have to throw the diet out the window and let the sandwich win. And this sandwich won. I'd post a picture, but apparently my wife and I decided photography was less important than eating it. We absolutely demolished it before either of us thought, "Hey, we should take a picture." Even better, one sandwich was plenty for both of us. Generous portion, incredible flavor, and every bite was worth whatever guilt I was supposed to feel afterward. Next visit, I'm going after the steak sandwich. If it's even half as good as this one, I may have just found my new favorite sandwich spot. 10/10 -- would happily skip the diet again.

Tl;dr: mandatory 15% "tip" *for takeout* with no warning until the post-order payment iPad…read more The food wasn't good or bad enough to leave a review but to have no mention of a bogus 15% mandatory fee is shady business. No signage, not detailed on the menu, just an ambush once you've placed your order. It's a bs fee to begin with, but concealing it until the last minute is unethical. I'm guessing it will catch up with y'all as these sorts of sketchy business practices often do.

We arrived here about 45 minutes before close on a Thursday night, and parking was slim pickings,…read morebut we managed to snag a reasonably close spot. We were surprised by the size of the restaurant when we walked in. It seems smaller from the outside; not that it was huge, just deceiving. It reminded me of a homey Jason's Deli (IYKYK). The woman at the counter was helpful and kind. We had a few questions about some items on the menu, and she asked the kitchen staff anything that she didn't know offhand. We decided on the fried cauliflower for an appetizer; it was monstrously huge, and much more flavorful than I expected. The spices and textures on the plate added a lot to the dish's overall essence. I ordered the Rachel for an entree, and my partner ordered the Sharona. I subbed the chips for a side salad. The salad was tangy or tart, almost bitter. I didn't mind; I thought it was quite good. It is a lot of acidity if you are not expecting it. The Rachel was fantastic, except that the coleslaw had some onion bits mixed in. We are not onion fans in this household. Ha The Sharona would have been a better choice, as I much prefer pickles to oniony coleslaw. My partner said she really liked hers. We had half a sandwich each for leftovers the next day, and shared the leftover chips, since I finished off my salad the night before. The sandwiches heated up exquisitely in the oven at 325°F for 15 minutes. I felt that Susie's is a definite hidden gem, and I can recommend it to anyone who likes a well-made sandwich. I will be back to sample more of the menu and report back my findings at a future date.

This is everything you could hope for from an old-school deli. It was great to see a place like…read morethis, with so much old-world charm, thriving in a trendy, gentrified neighborhood. We split an industrial sub with a side of potato salad and tiramisu. The sandwiches are served hot, which was a fun surprise. I appreciated how they plated and delivered our meals separately.

Overall a positive experience, although the subs didn't quite hit as much as we were hoping for. We…read moregot the Industrial and Smoked Turkey. Both good, although I wish there was a little more meat on each (especially the turkey one). Sometimes I'm sketched out with mayo on a sandwich but it turned out really good on the smoked turkey because it's a hot sub so the mayo melted a little bit. Staff was super friendly, especially Jeff, and there was way more seating than we expected. Love the outside tables too so pups can join. Jeff did say that we could modify any sub or build our own - I think I'll do that next time to customize to my specific taste interests.

This place was pretty hyped up and I was not impressed. Their food was alright. Nothing bad per se. But could definitely be better for the price of $15 each. The 'fresh' food in the fridge and baked goods in the cabinet definitely did not look fresh by any means. There were flies on the baked goods; the veggies looked very dark in the fridge. I understand that they can be busy- but i wouldn't pay $4+ for any sort of food with bad veggies or flies on it.

In particular, the fries and the homemade pickles were not my favorite. The drinks, Aku Aku, & Rise n Shine, were tasty! The hot chicken wings with the spicy Korean sauce was a great opener - should've order 2 plates.

The menu was historically themed but the place overall gave a welcoming vibe!

My daughter's friend, who is Jewish, had recommended it. We were told there was a 25 minute wait, and we were told we could hang out at the store next door.

My wife had the chopped chicken liver appetizer and the potato latke appetizer. The food was very good and the service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely go again. They close at 3 pm and are NOT open for dinner.

We also got cinnamon bagel with cream cheese, eggs and Reuben (I think). Fresh and good portion. Staff were friendly. She answered our questions patiently and she was very nice.

I can never eat more than half of my sub at a time because they are SO BIG. Some might complain in the price, but you are getting what you ask for at Sandanos! This place is a staple in our house. Highly recommend this small family run business. Deff call ahead and pick up when you get there! They're a small operation, with great customer service. Always very clean. They have some board games on the tables while you wait for food!!

There's a bunch of chains and food places around so it can be easily overlooked. If you want a hefty solid classic sub sandwich...this is THE PLACE to order from. It's literally the definition of a "hole in the wall" place. It's only April and my husband and I have gone at least 4 times already this year. Highly suggest calling in to put in your order. The times we've come to pick up our order has only been one man. I don't know if he's the owner but he's been the only guy I've ever seen. Anyways, his sandwiches is like damn gold. I LOVE the Italian sub, my husband loves the roast beef, and the recent order of cheesesteak was...*chefs kiss*. It hit the spot for me and has bern done perfectly. The interior is simple and straight to the point. I love how small it is and it screams "get your sandwich, enjoy your sandwich, now get out" Lolol Seriously, this is prob the best sandwich shop we've found in short pump/henrico/inns brook. My in-laws came into town...we ordered 3 sandwiches and still had so much left over. I'll need to take pictures next time but seriously, this is a great sandwich stop you have to try!

They also offer the option of taking your meal in a borrowed picnic basket so you can have a picnic in the park across the street on nice days.

We were surprised there was a line out the door and a 30-45 minute wait. After waiting 45 minutes, and 15 minutes prior to their morning closing time, we went to check with the waiter to make sure our sandwiches were still coming out. Not sure if he was having a bad day, but he was a bit rude/annoyed about it and not reassuring/apologetic as I would expect from better service. If you're doing the picnic option, would definitely advise ordering in advance!

First...bread soft but "sturdy" enough to handle the other half being wrapped up and eaten the next day! It's a lot of food!

Wedge salad and Side salad option-MUCH better than expected for a "hole in the wall" kinda place but big serving with fresh ingredients (radishes, sliced and chunks, with pea pods and a lemony vinaigrette was super tasty. Will come back here again!

The servers were also tending the bar which was getting decent traffic even at lunchtime. My dining partner says there is a pool table in a back room, and that could be fun to fold into a longer visit. The piped in music was light jazz. The menu is oriented around philly cheesesteaks and variations. I ordered the chicken philly, which was large enough to make two lunches (I brought half home.) The flavor was decent, with seasoned or marinated chicken chunks and veggies & cheese on a sturdy roll. It came with a decent serving of chips. We were served a juice glass of room temp water on arrival and no drink order was taken. Negatives were related to pacing. It took a lot of time for the food to come out. We were pushed to eat even half of our sandwiches within the hour my dining partner had for lunch. The server did not check back after dropping the plates, which could have been an issue if we needed more water. And getting the check was a challenge that took way too long considering how small the place is. This is a decent place to grab a sandwich or a drink if you have the time or live in the neighborhood.

Amazing, we loved our vegan sandwiches at Union Market!…read more It's a groovy spot with outdoor seating on a patio (mostly/partially shaded) and indoor bar/eating area. They also have a little grocery section with a good selection of wine, beer, chocolates, and other basics. They also have a good variety of menu of options that can cater to plant-based folks like us - we opted for the vegan TLT and vegan mushroom philly and both delicious! The flavor profiles were pretty on point, but the sandwich bread really stood out - they had just the right crunch-to-soft ratio The staff are also lovely - they helped me pick from the options and were very knowledgeable about the menu - good vibes all around and definitely worth stopping by if you want to enjoy a casual meal with great food and drinks. Pro-tip: you can also order to-go and walk over to the Jefferson park to enjoy an easy picnic with a stunning view of the city
