I finally got around to visiting SOKO Butcher Shop & man was it worth it! WOW!…read more I got the Philly, and it was worth the hype. A top tier cheesesteak that rivals anything I've had in the area, Baltimore & Philadelphia. 10/10 The wife got The Butcher on Ciabatta w/ chimichurri, horseradish aioli, arugula roasted tomato. She devoured that thing --(not AI, I've always written like this lol) well, what she could bc our sandwiches were massive. 8/10 My daughter, Paris got the wings with fries and she loved her meal as well. All in all, this was a great experience. The lady at the cash register was very friendly and helpful when I purchased my cuts of meat to make burgers later at home, the space was clean, and food came out within 15 minutes. Funny story, it was my bday so I knew my Dad was coming by my house later in the evening so I saved him half of my cheesesteak bc I couldn't eat it all, and I really wanted him to try it. After initially refusing, he finally tasted it and said it was the best he's ever had, and this was hours later, after warming it up in the microwave. He asked me to send the address, and that this would be his new go to spot. Lol Definite 5 stars.

I ordered a sandwich with bacon on it but they didn't add the bacon. It's an up charge so if they…read moredidn't have it the charge should have been refunded. The service is always bad and the food is expensive so the least they can do is get the order right. When you walk in no one acknowledges you even if you're the only customer there. When they finally do they act as if they're doing you a favor by taking your order...no smile, no welcome in...nothing. One time I was there, several people were in the store and the workers were laughing and talking behind the counter. About three minutes went by before I asked if someone could hand me my order. Right after that a customer who had been there before me asked if they could order, so there's no telling how long they had been waiting before I spoke up. It's never a pleasant experience. It's a local neighborhood spot so I try to support but at this point they're playing in my face.

Santucci's is definitely a neighborhood staple. I grew up eating from Santucci's since my mom and…read moredad always ordered from them. Their grilled chicken breast sub has remained one of my favorites, and the taste has consistently stayed great throughout the years. My most recent visits take me back to my childhood, and this might sound like an exaggeration, but every bite is nostalgic. Another one of my favs is their chicken Caesar salad. I generally love Caesar dressing, but theirs is top tier. I don't think I've ordered it in years, but hopefully the taste has also remained the same. I'll probably order during my next visit!

Unfortunately, I didn't catch the woman's name at the counter, but she was incredibly helpful in guiding me through what would work best for the party. The Italian cookies were a huge hit!

The former was generously filled and absolute mushroom deliciousness. The latter was buttery and made tender by the raspberry! Their chai was also delicious. I will definitely be back for more of their cheesy savory pastries (and that turnover again!). Fast service, reasonable prices, and great portions across the board! There's some seating inside and outside, but it can get a bit busy during prime hours.

It was really good! The service was good, the girl at the front was really nice and helped my friend make substitutions to her order. My only con is the food isn't really filling so I think the sandwich should be $5-6. I think people with a bigger appetite would need to order more for but that's it. It's a cute and small cafe. You really could sit and enjoy your meal while people watching. I would definitely come back for sure and try other items.

I'll definitely be back for a steak & cheese, my hot sub benchmark. My rating will go to 5 stars if that goes well.

I'm a red wine kinda girl so I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and committed to the Bonavita Tinto Wine. I could taste the mixed berries in every sip. It was only $7 for a glass - what a steal! My friends ordered the bruschetta and jerkalaya as entrees. For dessert, we went with the mousse and the banana bread pudding. Everything was SO good, no complaints. We enjoyed the cozy, classy atmosphere so much we stayed for 3 hours chatting. It's a hidden gem in DTSS, and we will be back!
