    Turkey on jalapeño bread
    Landon P.

    Great little sandwich shop. Fast, fresh, helpful employees. Highly recommend any weekday!

    Jimmy's Turkey club

    Probably the best sandwich I've ever had! Wifey sent me pictures of her sandwich while I was at work! Luckily wifey went back and brought 2 more sandwiches. Wifey said the service was amazing quick and reliable. The ambiance was perfect a good little quiet deli if you ever need to go to one.

    Amazing sandwiches, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and the little sheet to build your sandwich was super cute (I'm picky so I love being able to customize my sandwich). You can also watch them make your sandwich which is nice bc everything is clean and fresh. 10/10

    The secret to their sandwhiches are in the bread!! They get the break from Sheila Parton/mesquite bakery here in Houston. Walk in and grab a paper to write your order on the paper. If there is a line, it goes pretty fast. Grab a potato salad cup or chips and check out. They have fresh iced tea and fresh lemonade along with coke fountain machine. All the locals go here, especially for work lunch crowd. Limited seating inside. Plenty of seating outside.

    You can really tell the culinary attention that goes into Little Jimmy's sandwiches. The bread is soft and sweet, and the combination of ingredients/sauces is well thought out. I recently had the Hot Pastrami sandwich, and it was unlike one I had ever had. It was like Absolutely Excellent. (1) The Gyro Sandwich - Absolutely great gyro, love that this is an option here... honestly you would think you had ordered from a Greek restaurant (2) The Hot Pastrami Sandwich - It was like if a philly cheesesteak and a pastrami sandwich mixed into one... but even better. (3) The Turkey Sandwich - Love the apples with the sweet/tart finish (4) The Chicken Salad Sandwich - Solid (5) The BLT - which was on the heavy side, but a solid BLT nonetheless

    Bland, dry, overall feels like old people food at a nursing home. Could've made a turkey sandwich like this at home and it would've been a lot better. Even the PICKLE was sub par. Don't drink the iced tea, found some strange bits in my drink, I doubt they clean the container.

    There's only one thing I like more than a sandwich shop and that's a sandwich shop within walking distance of me. With all the different foods out there I still get drawn back to simplicity. My favorite is the jimmy's hot pastrami. Line was out the door during lunch on a Monday. But it moved quick. You can fill out a list too if you're picky about what you want on your sandwich. Actually almost everyone was going this route. Soda fountain is self serve on the side.

    The Hubs had lunch there while at work and taunted me with pictures. OMGOODNESS that's a meaty sandwich. The Hubs said it was soooo good. My Hubs is so nice, he went back twice to get us a sandwich. We both ordered a turkey and chicken sandwich with Muenster cheese. Delicious is an understatement. The first bite is gonna make you hum and do a lil happy dance. Get on and go for a thickolicious sandwich!

    Best sandwich in town, friendly staff. Quick service. My favorite ham sandwich!!!! Only open during the week, soooo good!

    Veggie sandwich on multigrain bread.
    Michel O.

    Just grabbed a couple of sandwiches - 1st time here. A small deli counter and a couple of indoor tables. Simple ordering at the counter or grab your own brown paper bag and fill in your order. Serving Breakfast all day, sandwiches, and salads. It looks like there is an outside patio that is undergoing renovations. First, my veggie sandwich on multigrain bread was probably the best veggie sandwich I've had. Who would think to put apples and walnuts on a veggie sandwich? They do and it is delicious. Their veggie (I got it wo/onions), was made of high-quality ingredients with a texture that was a delightful mix of crunchy and creamy. The taste was more complex than your typical veggie due to the variety of ingredients from hummus and avocado to radish, apple, and horseradish cheddar cheese (my choice), with no one flavor overpowering another. My spouse ordered a Jimmy's turkey sandwich which he said was equally satisfying. We will definitely be back.

    1/2 gyro (less meat) & 1/2 soup $9.50- gyro pretty good (not the best) & prefer the potato soup over the chicken tortilla soup (still good)
    Diana N.

    3.5 stars GYRO $8.50- (or half sandwich, half soup for $9.50) it was pretty good and stuffed! I've had more flavorful gyro meat, but it was tender. The pita bread was really soft and fresh, but I'm so mad I forgot to sub it w/ the Jalapeño bread people rave about! POTATO SOUP- yummy! had chunks of potato. Preferred this over the CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP (creamy, not a clear broth), which was still good though. Pretty busy during weekday lunch but doesn't take long to get your food.

    Never again. I have been to this place many times. Today, the owner was beyond rude. I ordered a salad with meat. The owner asked, "Salad Only"? Thinking he was asking salad... "veg" only... I said no... with meat... He stared at me and asked again "Salad only..." Again, I said no... with meat... He then snarled at me and said, "am I speaking Chinese here!" I was stunned and beyond surprised... I am just here to get lunch... I love to support businesses that have good service and product, however, with an ugly, angry attitude like this, this business is not one I can support. And I got a "lovely" message with profanity attacking me from the owner for my review...

It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place. In this review I want to give a special shout out to Beverly, our server, as she was amazing and whom I recommend. She practically read our minds and was an absolute star. Thank you, Beverly, for the fine service that was speedy with a smile!

    I went to Phoenicia Specialty foods for the first time ever and realized I have wasted the last 8…read moreyears since I moved to Houston having never been here before, because wow! I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good.

Tasty food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, what more can one ask for? We had two plates of brisket - half and half (lean and fatty) and chopped. Mac & cheese, potato salad, and creamed corn. And both types of puddings! The brisket was so tender and fell apart easily, which also went very well with the spicy bbq sauce. The chopped brisket was tasty too and went great with all the sides and the piece of bread. Everything was so good and to the point, which made it such a comfort food. If I really had to nitpick, I felt the potato in the potato salad was slightly underdone and crunchy, but not a big deal. Mac & cheese hit the spot and wow, the cream corn came out hot and was such a hit! The surprise standout for me was the banana pudding. It was perfectly sweet, delicious, and somehow didn't feel too heavy at all! I'm still craving it and wish I lived closer to this area just so I can swing by anytime. They also have a great assortment of beverages and a cute little souvenir stand. Definitely recommend!
