    Godfather warm sandwich and chips.
    Sam N.

    This is an underrated small sandwich place. Delicious sammys with cold and hot options. I got the Godfather which is one of their hot sandwich specials with roast beef on garlic bread with tomato, lettuce, cheese, and aioli. It was the bomb. Free chips with your sandwich is the cherry on top. Their staff were very nice and friendly. The whole place was small but had an eclectic feel. The bathroom kept this theme with punny signs hung all over. We got some free stickers on our way out. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back.

    Special Sandwich of the Week . . . The Judy.   Ham, Roast Beef, Turkey, Bacon, Cheddar, Onion, Aioli, on Marble Rye

    Five Stars as a a great option for a sandwich/salad/soup if you're in this neck of the woods. They always have a Soup and Sandwich of the Week, and if it's a type of soup you like, you'll like their homemade version. If it's a type of sandwich or wrap that you like, you'll like their version. So by extensions, you absolutely can't go wrong with their combo. Soup, half of any sandwich, and a bag of chips for only $10.50? You'll be hard pressed to find a better bargain

    Very cute family owned (I assumed) sandwich shop. The menu is not very large which makes selection easy. All the food items are commonly known so it is good for non-adventure eater. We ordered soup and wraps combo, and my partner ordered Ruben sandwich. the wrap I ordered is chicken bacon avocado wrap - but I can't say that I tasted avocado. Maybe it was lightly put on the wrap. The store is cute and highlight of the meal is I have a tree frog friend on the bottom of our table.

    Go for the Cubano!!! Best one I've had in the Cities! Perfectly toasted bun filled with ham, mustard, Swiss, pickles, pulled pork and a tasty aioli sauce. The pulled pork and sauce made the sandwich spectacular. It makes me want to try their BBQ pulled pork sandwich! We also tried the NY Pastrami. Perfect ratio of meat! They offer cold and hot sandwiches, wraps, salads and a soup of the day! They even will do a customize sandwich if you can't decide what you want. Super reasonably priced! $8.50 for sandwiches and comes with chips as well! Staff is super friendly. Definitely, had a lot of regulars coming in! Small inside sweating along with some tables and picnic table outside.

    It seems very, very likely that you will enjoy what you order here. Based on other Yelp reviews I…read morewas persuaded to get the Mac & Cheese Chicken Shawarma Wrap. The bad news is that it was too much filling for me to wrangle without rendering me unpresentable, but the good news is that it tasted GREAT. Super flavorful! Would definitely recommend. Came with fries and a drink for a very reasonable price, and those fries were delicious also; super crispy and flavorful with no need for dip. Lots of napkins needed for that wrap though. Looking around at what other people were eating has me convinced that they have a lot of good food. I saw someone eating one of the rice dishes that looked amazing, and the employee was excited to tell me all the other specialties that they are very proud of. They source a lot of their ingredients from Egypt, and they credit themselves with the creation of the Dubai Chocolate Milkshake which I regret not trying this time. You should come hungry because the portion sizes are ample and you'll want to consume them in their entirety.

    All of gotta say is I can't wait to go back and try their mac and cheese chicken shawarma wrap!!!…read moreIt seemed to be a top order from every other customers who came into the restaurant. I had the Monster sandwich combo which was filled with chopped gyro meat, grilled onions, lettuce and cucumber sauce. Very good sandwich but it was messy! It helped to cut it in half before trying to grab it and devour it. Fries were delicious. They're the coated crispy fries which in my book are the best kind. Also got talked into getting their mango juice and no regret there! It's not so much a juice but more like a smoothie. It was pretty thick but my taste buds and stomach loved it. I also had to get a few of their tres Leche cakes to go. Everyone there were getting some! And I find out why. They were bomb! Overall, if you haven't checked out Sandwich King, you should make it a definite stop.

I highly recommend the Original Bagel Sandwich--an everything bagel with bacon, American cheese, and a fried egg--paired with Oliver's hash. The hash has outstanding flavor and is truly a standout. Another favorite is the Scrambler (scrambled eggs with bacon, scallions, mushrooms, peppers, aged cheddar, and Oliver's hash underneath). Again, the flavor is excellent. If you enjoy a little kick, be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce--it's terrific. I believe the ketchup is made in-house as well, although it's not quite to my taste. My one consistent disappointment with breakfast is that the menu never changes. They don't seem to offer specials, and I would really love to see new items introduced--whether occasionally or seasonally. Adding some variety would make an already great experience even better. I've considered going for lunch, but the current menu doesn't quite draw me in. I tend to go to specialty places for pizza or tacos, and while I'm sure the soup is very good, I can't justify $17 for a bowl. There are burgers and sandwiches as well, but nothing that really stands out to me. Again, introducing lunch specials or rotating items would make a big difference and likely bring me in more often. The atmosphere is excellent--comfortable, inviting, and full of charming little nooks and crannies, along with bar seating. If having a booth is important to you, I recommend making a reservation.

    ‼New restaurant try that should go on your list!‼…read more I've wanted to try @churchillstmn in Shoreview for a few years now and just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Finally went and had an awesome lunch that I'll definitely need to go back for again. Everything we ordered was really really good. The menu had so many contenders so I'll need to come back and try other things. We noticed a pancake go by our table and that kinda did it for me. I love me a savory and sweet situation so I went with the following and fell in love with my choices and my Auntie's sandwich too....sorry, not sorry. The Breakfast Sandwich (so much flavor going on in this sandwich and when I ordered the response was ooo good choice, which is a deal maker for me) Kid's Pancake on the side (Uffdah this was yummy) Crispy Chicken Sandwich (not my order today but tried a bite and my goodness was it good. The looks of the breading put me off a bit to start but it was deceiving. It wasn't heavy and thick but it was thin crisp tasty breading to complement the sandwich I was impressed with how flavorful the chicken was and balanced with everything.) Monster Cookie was a delicious treat later too So basically everything we got was great and when I go back I'll maybe get something new and let you know thoughts then. Safe to say you should check it out sometime. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!
