    A well made, delicious tasting sandwich for a reasonable price in this expensive economy. A small out of the way shop that all the locals seem to know about the pastrami sandwich was fantastic. I would definitely go again!!!

    Ham and beef double decker.  I like the way they put both meats on top and bottom portions. The meat was tender and juicy. Very favorable.
    Windy M.

    Easily the best ham and beef double decker in the tri-state. Not only are they huge ,they taste great. Extremely reasonable prices.

    Half of a half Italian sub!
    Julie T.

    Don't judge a book by its cover. The outside and even inside of this restaurant is suspect but the food is not. My friend and I SPLIT the Italian sub and we both had 1/2 of sub to eat later. Delicious fresh bun, plenty of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and banana peppers with Italian dressing. Came with Chips, I bought a bottle of water the entire lunch was $10. We took it to a nearby nature preserve and enjoyed this wonderful inexpensive lunch. Made to order so be patient!

    Turkey Sandwich
    Anna Y.

    Picked up J & W sandwich shoppe to try for the first time on my work lunch break- as it was only 5 minutes away from me. The menu & prices are so affordable! Our sandwiches were sooo good and so filling. The fries and seasoning were so on point & cooked perfectly. This will definitely be top of my list for the future for work lunch!

    The New Yorker . Pastrami, swiss( I subbed provolone) mustard, lettuce tomato, on rye.

    I've driven by here often, and finally stopped in. I'm almost hesitant to write a review as it's a true hidden gem in Norwood. I want them to succeed, and they will. The phone was ringing off the hook. . Don't let the exterior sway you. This is LEGIT. And economical. A true mom n pop. I just don't want this place to get so popular it loses its charm. That being said, run, don't walk

    Turkey and BLT
    Kyle B.

    This place slaps. Got a Turkey and BLT (pictured) sandwich. Look at her, she's beautiful. They pile on the crispy bacon. It's a mountain of crunch. My bet is that the turkey is freshly sliced on location. The white bread is perfectly toasted so the sandwich maintains its integrity and holds together while you eat it. We got fries too which took awhile but were worth it. The seasoning on them is a nice touch. The prices can't be beat. The service was exactly what you want. The decor is cool sports memorabilia with a newspaper on the table while you wait for your order.

    This place f#cks. The sandwiches are enormous. Half is all you need, but you'll eat the whole thing. I love everything about this place. They don't give a sh!t about ambiance; they make damn good and obscenely huge sandwiches.

    Double BLT
    Dave S.

    Huge sandwiches. Got the Double BLT and the New Yorker. Great service. Friendly down to earth folks.

    Yelp says J & W is open at 9. Do they make breakfast grub too?

    They have one breakfast sandwich; it consists of 3 eggs, bacon, cheese, and mayo on toast. It’s great!!!

I stopped by for a quick lunch during the week and wanted an easy to-go sandwich. They have a medium sized menu but a lot of different options which makes it a bit hard to pick haha! I decided on a reuben sandwich with all of the fixens inside. I was surprised that I was the only one in there because of the amount of rave reviews. It was a small quaint little place. The employees were suppperrrr nice and gave me a lot of time to think about my order. The vibes in there were very cool with fun music and just overall a good time. Now onto the Reuben. Holy cow! It was juicy and very flavorful, with the perfect amount of sauerkraut. The bread was toasty and the sandwich was nice and warm but not too hot. I think this will be a new spot for me for lunch!

Essentially for me I had waited too long to eat and the idea of waiting longer was a non starter for me. Sandwiches are not my go to food outside the house, it seems silly on some level. However, the sandwich I had was fantastic and well balanced. There was a good amount of everything without it being too much. Sometimes it's too much. This was great. They also had good, homemade or freshly made sides like potato salad and other salads you could get. It was great.

    People are always surprised when they hear that we often drive the almost hour trip from Dayton to…read moreCincinnati for dinner but it's worth it for the treasure trove of independent establishments like The Wheel Oakley! I had heard that their pop-up dinners sell out very quickly so I was ready the day they were posted and grabbed a few spots for one of their February dates. We arrived and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and then we found a seat at the long community table set for 20; it was so much fun getting to know the people seated next to us! Dinner was delicious! Four courses-the gnocchi with sausage was our favorite dish of the night.

    So this is not a review of a normal restaurant. The Wheel does carry-out only on the weekends, and…read morepop-up dinners on the days of their choice. If you follow them on socials, you can score a seat at the pop-ups. The place is an old house with a lot of character. The food for carryout is fantastic and their bread is fantastic. We live in West Chester and have driven down to there a few times just to pick up delicious dinners. We just attended our first dinner there last Tuesday. Oh My Goodness! What a treat. Jordan greeted us with a glass of Prosecco and directed us where to sit a long table that seats 20. We introduced ourselves to our seatmates and then our first dish arrived. Chef does explain the food before we had each dish, however we wished there was more background and history as to how this place came into being. So expect fantastic food without a lot of details. The first dish was a salad made with all local ingredients. It was so fresh and the dressing made with fresh dill was fantastic. The second dish was a ravioli with northern Italian cheese on a bed of butternut squash puree and brown butter. The pasta was SO delicate and the flavors complimented each other so well. The third dish was a 6 hour braised pork shoulder with ricotta gnocchi in a sauce with Calabrian chilis and I don't know what else. We have been to Italy and all the Italian restaurants in Cincinnati and never had anything like this. It was truly phenomenal. Dessert was a apple upside down cake served warm with whipped cream...fantastic. You bring your own wine, and Jordan is on it by never letting your glass get empty, pouring water, and clearing dishes. Service was so great and she is so friendly and accommodating. The cost was a very reasonable $100/pp and SO worth it. There is no menu, so you go in just devouring what Chef has prepared.

    Basically the most basic word I can use to describe what I ate here was just so delicious! I've…read morenever heard of this place and didn't know any history about it but my husband wanted me to try it. So we made our way there on a Sunday evening. It was pretty busy with lots of DoorDash and other delivery people hanging out waiting. We ordered at the counter and I got the number two which is basically two sliders as well as fries. It's a bit pricey but the sliders were really big! I got mild even though I love spicy because my husband says that even though he ordered just medium hot, he said it was pretty spicy. Took about 15 minutes to get our food but was completely worth it! We sat down in the area in the back which was weird because it used to be a mod pizza and I just remember being there and before but different ambience and environment. So for the food, amazing! The chicken was so tender and crispy and the sauce was so good! I wish I would have got more than mild though. It definitely needed a bit more spice! Besides the chicken though and the sliders with the pickles and slaw that just made it so amazing, the fries were also spectacular! I've never had crinkle cut fries that were so well seasoned and so delicious! So yeah, I'm a big fan of this place! Besides the amazing chicken, the fries are like the best I've ever had it any restaurant! I don't know how they do it but they've done it. A whole number two with the sliders and fries is going to put you back at least 1600 calories before the sauce just FYI. But if you're counting your calories, it can be a meal for a whole day or take one of the sliders home for later. Definitely looking forward to going back!

For a fast-food restaurant, it met my expectations in that regard. The atmosphere was also enjoyable. I really liked the artwork and overall vibe of the restaurant. The space felt clean and inviting. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The chicken bites were not fully cooked, and the fries were only warm. By the time I got to my destination just six minutes away the entire meal was barely warm. I believe the food could have been much better if it had been served fresh and cooked properly, but that's just my impression based on this visit. Overall, the service and ambiance were solid, but the quality and temperature of the food left a lot to be desired. 2 stars
