The Crunchy Boi is served on a 10 inch roll with turkey, lettuce, onions, pickles, chips and garlic mayo. I thought the sandwich was pretty good. I would ask for light mayo if I got the sandwich again. The chips added the perfect crunch and texture to the sandwich.

This is a small, but efficient sandwich/sub shop on Barracks Row. I got the Crunchy Boi, which…read moreseems to be their most popular and is the sub I see most often on social media. In theory, the sub should be good. It has turkey, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and mayo. Unfortunately for me though, there was barely any mayo, so my sub was extremely dry. Especially because of the chips. I obviously didn't notice until I got home and unfortunately I didn't have any mayo at home at the time, so I was stuck eating a super dry sandwich. I imagine with a proper amount of mayo, this sub would taste much better. Two stars for the team. They were very friendly and helpful. I was confused about the ordering process and they happily helped me out.

Good: the vegan cupcakes are probably the best around…read more Bad: their prices are high in comparison with GF bakeries basically in any major city, and they have an illegal "No Cash" policy (illegal under DC law. The owner should look up the law because she's way out of compliance: https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/laws/23-187), but charge a 3% fee if you pay by credit card, which you are required to. They basically give you no option to avoid paying a fee. (In response to the owner's response below: They have a sign that says NO CASH, so is a customer supposed to believe they'll accept cash IF the customer has exact change, as the owner says they will? And if they do accept that cash, then they would, in fact, have cash on hand anyway, which undercuts her claim they have no cash on hand...but they don't because they have a sign that says NO CASH. Every other business in the community doesn't blame the city for their own non-compliant policies, as the owner does, and accepts cash in the same circumstances. Plenty of places are happy to take cash and prefer it, and it is required by DC law. I was surprised to see this NO CASH sign after emailing with the owner about it *a year and a half ago.* I walked right out when I saw the sign.) They also now have a self-serve bar which invites the spread of things like norovirus. There are no sneeze guards. They make it hard for me to support them even though I really have been trying to for years.

The beet salad was amazing although a little light on beets. The buffalo mozzarella on top was delicious and we spread it over the salad like a poached egg which had a nice contrast to the bitterness of the fresh arugula base. The pizza was our favorite dish. The crust was amazing and the fresh basil really put it over the top. The gnocchi pasta was great in itself), I would have liked something to cut the cheesy/pistachio sauce/flavor a bit. Maybe a touch of tomato sauce. The tiramisu was certainly made fresh in-house (as confirmed by the server) but we actually thought the pistachio gelato (also made in the house) was the better of the two desserts. Will definitely come back here to try more items on the menu.

Had a terrific traditional Italian sub here recently. Prego lists it as "famous Italian cold cut"…read more Okay, that's their prerogative. Prego also offers "jumbo famous Italian cold cut". Jumbo means more toppings come with it. Capisce?! I've also enjoyed their grilled pannini selections and can attest to the tastiness of the smoked turkey panini. Staff is responsive; sammies are made right in front of you. It's somewhat easy to miss this place. From the outside, the deli appears to be rather narrow, but it's pretty deep inside. Located right across the street from Eastern Market. A decent sandwich can be found here.

Now that I've returned here numerous times over the past year, I think it's worth updating my…read morereview. After ordering the Italian Cold Cut here numerous times, it's become perhaps my favorite sub in the city. Although I rarely crave it, when I do it hits the spot and is perfection. In terms of what really makes it stand out, I've come to the conclusion that it's really the fresh, soft sub rolls that they use that help to make their subs utterly delicious. Additionally, the meat to bread ratio is just the way I like it which has become more clear to me after ordering subs elsewhere with a ratio that can be sometimes out of control. Overall, Prego has really grown on me and will continue to visit whenever the craving hits!

I will say the focaccia bread was really good - it made the chicken parm itself not feel so heavy. However, I will say the sandwich itself to be underwhelming. The chicken wasn't memorable and it wasn't a good value spot compared to other options in the area. The service itself was pretty speedy considering no one else was ordering from here. The Union Market area is always bustling with folks, but the hype did not align with this spot. I am happy to try this place, and I will consider going back at a future time.

I have been here over 3 dozen times atleast. I always grab a sandwich and have venture into their homemade pizza dough, pasta sauces, baked goods and more. I've never had anything bad here over several years. They have an online ordering service which makes pick up a lot more easier. Sometimes when it's busy you can expect to wait 20-30 mins on your sandwich, so i usually order in advance. Parking can be touch and go sometimes but there's a free parking garage (up to 3 hours) around the corner.

However, this time I must've annoyed the worker cause I asked for extra toppings (please!!) and he put the most thinnest, singular topping i've seen in my life.

This place can get stressful and can rush you if there's a long line and/or you're not immediately sure of your order. I think also if you're hard of hearing and you ask for things to be repeated, u might irk the workers lol. Other than that, I really do enjoy my chicken salad sub, i'm just weary about the next time I visit, cause idk what I really did to annoy the worker to get such a passive aggressive sandwich.
