I'd somehow managed to make it this long without eating at Jersey Mike's--this despite my widely…read moreknown love of sandwiches. It used to be there weren't any Jersey Mike's around here. You probably had to go to New Jersey. When they began to appear, it was at a time when I wasn't eating at restaurants as often. (I was not in jail.) An opportunity presented itself when a location opened in a strip mall near where I live, along with the other four horsemen of the gentrification apocalypse: Raising Cane's, Panera and Five Guys. Plus a Chase Bank branch, which you're gonna have to visit if you plan to eat at any of these places. I stopped by at noon-ish to have a look, for the sake of citizen food journalism. There was a healthy, but not overwhelming, crowd. A lot more people than at the Five Guys next door. I suspect that people have begun to resent Five Guys because of their prices, even though you end up spending nearly as much, if not more, at Jersey Mike's. It can't be due to the quality of the food. I ate there and it was amazing. The inside of this Jersey Mike's is not very big. You can eat there if you want to (I did), but you might not want to take a date there. You're gonna be in there nuts-to-butts, and not intentionally so. It's set up like a Subway, or any number of other fast casual restaurants that were clearly inspired by Subway. You order at one end of the line, explain to a sandwich artist how you'd like your sandwich and then pay at the other end of the line. Options are a lot more limited--intentionally so, I'm assuming. None of this BS where there's, mathematically speaking, a million different permutations of a ham sandwich. As if. You can get a sandwich on white, wheat or rosemary parmesan. Or some gluten-free option, which, why would you even be at a Jersey Mike's? Sandwiches are served Mike's Way--lettuce, tomato, onion and an oil-and-vinegar blend--by default, to save people who can't read, and people with stuttering problems, from holding up the line. Is that the case even if you order a cheesesteak? Possibly. This is Missouri, after all. There's only a small handful of things you can get in addition to the standard dress: pickles, banana peppers, jalapenos and some sort of pepper relish. I was curious to know what that pepper relish, or whatever it was, tastes like, but it wasn't that serious. Would the sandwich artist have objected if I'd asked him to give me just a little bit, in my hand, to taste, as if I were at a 31 Flavors? I wasn't about to find out. Peace to Ani DiFranco. Before I left the house, I asked an AI what the ideal order at a Jersey Mike's was. It said to order a Club Sub, Mike's Way. A Club Sub is something along the lines of a club sandwich, minus the extra bread in the middle, the Ruffles potato chips and the dill spear. It has, as I recall, turkey, ham, bacon and provolone. For whatever reason, seemingly all the sandwiches here come with provolone as the default cheese selection. What, no love for Swiss? The Club Sub mostly just tastes like turkey. Turkey in general doesn't really taste like anything, but deli meat turkey has a very distinctive flavor. The bacon is precooked and nothing that would pass muster somewhere where it's the primary focus of your breakfast. The wheat bread was nice and robust, with a bit of chew to it, perhaps to withstand the deluge of oil-and-vinegar blend. It soaks into the bread and softens it up a bit, not unlike an Italian beef or a French dip. If you're opting out of the oil-and-vinegar blend (which they disgustingly refer to as "the Juice"), again, I'm not sure why you're eating here. In addition to the sandwich, which itself ran me upwards of $20, I got chips, a soda and a cookie. It cost me almost exactly the same amount I recently paid for a cheeseburger (i.e. a double cheeseburger), fries and a shake at the Five Guys next door. The jalapeno kettle chips were mediocre. They might need to consider another brand--unless the titular Mike owes someone there money. The cookie was amazing. It doesn't look like much, and it's packaged like it might have rolled off an assembly line in an industrial area over in Maryland Heights, but it's incredibly rich. I probably won't live as long as a result of having eaten it. Given how much I spent, that might be for the best anyway.

Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

Coming to St. Louis for work, the first day I was in the office my team went out to lunch and…read moretouted Pastaria Deli & Wine. This was so good; we came here the whole week we were in St. Louis for lunch! The office I was working in was on the same block as Pastaria Deli & Wine, so a less than five-minute walk from the office, so no driving or need to hail an Uber was awesome. Inside there are wine bottles all over the walls and it just has this cozy, Italian café/deli vibe. Depending on when you get there, the line to the cash register can snake out the door, but it moves pretty fast. There's a surprising number of tables inside and since the weather was nice, there were several tables out in front. Each day, we had the same cashier, Carly (I believe that's her name). Carly was incredibly bubbly, cute, fun! Once we placed our order, we received a metal tag with a number on it and found a table. I didn't order any sort of specialty drink; I took advantage of the free water located near the back of the restaurant. The time from when we placed our order to getting our lunch was pretty quick, even when the place was packed for lunch. So for the three days I was in St. Louis, I ordered these three sandwiches: 1. Il Capo Italiano: Lemon ricotta, mortadella, soppressata, mozzarella, giardiniera, salted potato chips (Miss Vickie's most likely), arugula, red wine vinegar, & extra virgin olive oil on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - A jam-packed sandwich! The lemon ricotta was amazing and the crunch from the salted potato chips was excellent. Beware that this sandwich is heavy on the oils, so be prepared to "wear" this sandwich the rest of the day unless you brought your toothbrush. haha This sandwich was plenty thick, the slices of mozzarella really helped to make this sandwich thick and filling. 2. Volpi Heritage Prosciutto: Volpi Heritage prosciutto, butter, lemon olive oil, & house-made giardiniera on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - The lemon olive oil was a very pleasant flavor, not too strong. Of the three sandwiches I ordered, this was the smallest in terms of fillings but it was still plenty filling for lunch with a bag of Miss Vicky's Spicy Dill Pickle chips! 3. Chicken Bacon Ranch: Thin sliced chicken breast, bacon, smoked cheddar cheese, tomato, arugula, banana peppers, & jalapeno-ricotta ranch on a 6.5" Union Loafers Hoagie - The sliced chicken breast was piled on thick and the bacon was a welcome addition. There was plenty arugula and banana peppers inside but the jalapeno-ricotta ranch elevated this! Creamy with a slight spicy kick to it. I didn't have one bad meal here and for the quality and quantity, I felt the prices were pretty reasonable, especially in the year 2026. Pastaria Deli & Wine is an awesome lunch spot! The friendly staff, cool, authentic Italian-vibes, fast service, and the quality food, it comes together here! I can't wait to come back through St. Louis for work and stop in here again for lunch, maybe I'll even treat myself to some of their gelato!

The hot chicken sandwich was not only incredibly thick and juicy, but the crust was crispy without being overwhelming or too much breading. I loved the spicy sauce that was used to make it hot chicken and somehow it didn't make the sandwich soggy at all. The slaw was more of a vinegar base, so it didn't weight it down with a heavy creamy flavor. Also the pickles were heavenly and I want to eat them on EVERYTHING. Moving onto the handcut, double fried fries. They were crispy and such a delight to see on a food truck, as far too often you get sad, pre-frozen fries. These were phenomenal and we ate every single one of them! You can practically taste the quality through the photos, they're everything and more than you'd imagine.

My husband had the Nashville hot chicken and said that it was just not as hot as he had hoped.

It was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon. There are long tables with many seats, so seating wasn't an issue. It is a first come first served dining situation. I ordered the 2-meat plate: brisket, ribs, baked beans, and potato salad. The brisket and the sides were definitely my favorite parts. The brisket was so tender, it basically fell apart in my hands! It was delicious! The baked beans were tangy and sweet, and the potato salad was creamy. I didn't like the ribs, they were very dry and definitely not worth the money. The barbecue sauces are in bottles on the table; my personal favorite was the Honey Badger, sweet with a little bit of heat. I found the Coffee BBQ sauce to be the most interesting; I have never had anything like it before. The coffee notes were subtle and helped balance out the smoky flavors. While I enjoyed the majority of my food, I am not sure if I will be returning. It was a nice experience, but the dry ribs left me feeling disappointed.
