    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Kandis M.

    3.5 stars! This is a great location and they are super quick with making your food & checking you out! I came here after seeing a lot online about their Chicken Caesar Wrap. Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!

    Wow, the sandwiches were really good! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We're from out of town and wanted a light lunch, and these sandwiches were perfect. We got to enjoy them outside, with a beautiful park and surrounding buildings right across from us. We ordered the Pastrami Melt, the Pastrami & Corned Beef Melt, and one more (can't remember, but it was good too!). The pastrami sandwiches were delicious. The place can get pretty crowded, but the line moves quickly. Most people order takeout, though they do offer some seating both inside and outside.

    The name says it all!! This is the best sandwich place in dc. And I will rarely get anything other than the chicken Caesar salad wrap! It's hands down the best and biggest of its kind you'll ever have. They don't mess around in there and they crank out the sandwiches during lunch hour, but the staff has always been really friendly. It is always crowded, but that's when you know it's a go to weekday lunch spot. My only complaint is that they aren't open on weekends!!

    Italian Chicken and Cheese Steak Hot Sub
    Capri L.

    Hey friends! As everyone else says. This place lives up to the name! It really was the best sandwich! I ordered the Italian Cheesesteak with a bag of chips($16). First of all, I really do appreciate finding a quality meal under $20 in DC! The sandwich was amazing! The bread was perfectly toasted and all the flavors came together beautifully. The sandwich had the right amount of sauce to not compromise the toast of the bread. Will order it again! Customer service was good. Bathroom was clean. Paid street parking is available out front. I'm often in the area for work so I will be a repeat customer. Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

    We stopped here for lunch today and they had the best tuna sub sandwich I've ever had. A couple of my work colleagues had been here before, but today was my first time. I was amazed to see how extensive their menu is and so many of their sub sandwiches caught my attention. I couldn't find calorie listings but I'm sure that the tuna sandwich seemed to be the most healthiest by far. They also have some great juice and I purchased an orange mango fruit drink. The service was fast, but there was a wait to be seated, so we took our food to go. We all sat at a nearby park and had lunch there. I would love to try their grilled chicken sandwich the next I come here.

    Had a solo meal here recently, and needing a rather quick dash in and out this fast-casual style spot fir the bill perfectly. Longish line to order, but it moved fairly rapidly and efficiently. I ordered one of their more popular choices, the crispy chicken melt. As the weather was decent, I sat at one of the small streetside / outside tables to enjoy the hot sammie. It came served on a crispy sourdough roll filled with a baked chicken breast, topped with garlic sun-dried tomato pesto and melted provolone cheese. It was hearty and filling and did the trick. Would love to try other sandwich varieties on my next visit.

    The internet definitely hyped this wrap. I'm an avid Caesar Salad guy and this was pretty subpar. Nothing amazing. Not wrapped tight. Basic Caesar salad in a wrap. I at least expected a spinach wrap. The line was long. Took about 20 minutes. They actually forgot one of the sandwiches I ordered that was listed on the paper. I won't be back.

    Stopped in while visiting DC to get their famous chicken ceasar wrap. At least 3 people in line behind me did the same thing. It was tasty for sure and a lot of food but not life changing the way I would have hoped! Would come back to try other sandwiches though!

    Portobello Mushroom Melt
    Kikue H.

    This really is The Best Sandwich Place. If you're looking for lunch in DC, you've gotta stop by. The portobello melt comes with provolone and fig jam which go together so well with the nice smoky flavor of the mushrooms. Not to mention the freshly toasted sourdough bread it's packaged in. And the banh mi was quite possibly one of the best I've ever had -- definitely not traditional but definitely delicious. The sriracha mayo adds the spice, the daikon slaw is sweet and tangy and the pork meatballs are so juicy and add so much wonderful umami flavor. With how packed it was at lunch time, it seems like everything else on the menu is just as good. It's also pretty reasonably priced for DC which was a major plus!

    Ever since I started working in D.C. this is my place to go for lunch (yes i am poor now). It's ALWAYS busy and the owners are super adorable. It's so financial district coded as the food is done quickly and you get exactly what you ask for. I've tried their salads and sandwiches which are all great. Their buffalo chicken salad is my favorite but I have yet to venture out of the caesar world. It's a very clean environment and feels like any modern cafe. A place to be with the busy people of DC.

The space itself is bright and airy and a bit on the noisy side. But the service was very good, and the food was served quite quickly. I've been on a shakshuka kick lately, so I opted for the the Sweet Potato Shakshuka, which is described as: Sweet Potato Curry, with Chickpeas and Sunny Eggs with a the chicken add-on - gotta get that protein in, after all. This was one of the most unique shakshukas I'd ever had... It literally tasted like a curry dish you might get at your local Indian restaurant, with a bit of a brunch flair to it. The curry itself had a wee bit of spice and was a bit sweet - but that could have been from the sweet potatoes. The chicken was served in a bowl on the side, which felt a bit... odd... I would've expected it to be incorporated into the main dish. It was kind of bland and a bit lukewarm, so I don't know that I'd order that again... but I would definitely order this again!

I ordered the chimichurri steak plate and really enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the chimichurri itself was the least enjoyable item.

I also added chips, a lemon zest cookie, and a blueberry breeze handcrafted drink. The cookie is big and chewy, unlike others I have had. It's definitely not something to eat in one sitting.

Ordering online is relatively easy and every time I've done it my salad(s) have been ready when I arrive. I like the variety of toppings and options they offer. I do wish I could switch out one type of protein for another without being charged (for example, I'd rather have grilled chicken on the Asian chicken salad over the breaded chicken) and I wish the salad dressings were slightly bolder, but overall the salads are tasty and fresh. The service has also been fantastic every time I've gone. Most recently, the online ordering platform was glitching a bit and I accidentally ordered two of the same salad instead of two different ones. I went to pick it up, and the employee did ask to confirm I wanted 2 of the exact same things. When we realized what happened, he made my husbands salad and let me keep both of mine. I offered to pay for his salad since it was my error, but they were gracious and let me take all 3 salads for the price of 2. I really appreciated how well the employee handled the situation - he could told me "too bad so sad" or grumbled when I asked to fix it, but he didn't. He solved the problem with a smile on his face. I'll definitely keep coming here. I love a good salad and the service makes it even better.

When it was the extra roll (also more $$) that was never included, I also said nothing. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...I need to stop wasting my money at this place and make my own dang salads.
