I got a traditional everything bagel w cream cheese to start the day, which had the RIGHT amt of cream cheese. Sometimes places give wayy too much, ruining the exp. I also ordered their popular Sumac Chicken sandwich on their Dutch Crunch bread, which was really good!! The bread had a slight sweetness to it that was satisfying and the flavors altogether were soo yummy. I waited ~12 min for my order, since they were rightfully packed. No outside food/drinks allowed if you're grabbing a table to eat. There's WiFi and a restroom in the back. Lots of neighborhood regulars.

Decided on the TikTok sandwich which is turkey and corned beef with all the condiments and fries with Hennessey sauce. The sandwich was ok and with all the stuff that comes on the sandwich you can barely taste the meat. The fries was just fries Customer service was excellent.

We tried the small Italian Sausage/Beef combo sandwich prepared on Turano French bread and dipped in a homemade Italian gravy and are topped with giardiniera peppers or sweet peppers, and Super Gyros Plate with 2pcs. of Pita bread, topped with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onion and Greek Tzatziki sauce. Both were delicious. Next time I'm gonna try their famous "Jim Shoe Sandwich:" Roast Beef, Corned Beef, Gyros Meat, Cheese prepared on the grill with iceberg lettuce, tomatoe and grilled onions, topped with Swiss cheese, mustard, mayonnaise and Tzatziki sauce on toasted Turano bread.
