Small business charm and service to match. Deli with a bar flair. Olympics on the 3 tvs, plenty of staff. Sit where you like when you come in. Table service will begin with menus. Large menu of choices. Petite, 1/2 lb, 1lb, and 1.5 lb options for your classic deli sandwiches. All served with more hand cut fries than I could eat. And I wanted to finish them. My brisket, apple cheese melt was fantastic. Filling and left me day dreaming of coming back. My friend's French dip, perfection. Fresh bread, well seasoned as jus. Just passing through, but will compare other small delis to this gem of a location.

Where has this place been?! We just searched Yelp for a sandwich shop in Cary and Yelp recommended this absolute GEM!! My yankee husband and I were very excited to check it out and we were not disappointed! My husband absolutely loved the Rueben! Our server said the Rueben's are their signature dish. I'm a midwesterner so I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and it was really good too. Their hand cut fried were bangin! We have a full box of leftovers and we are looking forward to going back again and again to try everything! The server was super nice. I was surprised that they have table service and a full bar. Red Oak on draft for the win!

The upper westside egg rolls are delicious, and the sauce it comes with is the BEST! We always order extra of it for our fries. Speaking of the fries, the portions are huge and come with the sandwiches and most dishes. The fries are excellent and crispy! I've been here three or four times and the service is always great. The servers are nice and the food comes out fast. Based on most reviews, I need to try the matzo ball soup and the latkes next! The turkey club was a bit dry but I wasn't expecting oven roasted thick cut turkey. The bacon on the sandwich though was super crispy. This is a great deli with huge portions, expect leftovers!

Ended up here due to the long wait of a neighboring restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. Greeted and seated immediately after walking in. We opted to sit at the bar and had a lovely server assist us. He was friendly, efficient, and proactive which we adored. Place is a cute little restaurant and bar playing sports with a fun outdoor seating area too. Saturdays they offer $7 lemon gin basil sours which were stellar! Other drink/food specials throughout the week! The bartender picked basil directly from their garden outside and used it as toppings in the drink. Definitely recommend trying this drink if you venture here. The hot honey chicken sandwich was mid. The chicken is very processed and I didn't get really any hot honey flavoring. The bread was toasty and very tasty, however, I feel this sandwich is overpowered by the pimento cheese. Just a heads up the pimento cheese made with a heavy mayo base. The fries though were fantastic! The typical bar, crispy and soft fries complimenting the sandwich very well. Also tried the seared tuna caesar salad which had great tuna, but salad was mid (just lettuce, croutons, and cheese and dressing served on the side). I will say they do give you enough salad for two meals which is a plus. I would recommend trying out this place if you are in the Cary area, but maybe try something other than the hot honey sandwich or caesar salad.

Came here to celebrate my birthday, but this year alone. I was seated quickly and Robbie came over right away. Wow what a great waiter !! Even before he knew I was celebrating my birthday he was so kind. I chose the French Dip sandwich with waffle sweet potato fries. The food came out quick and the sandwich was hot and overflowing with meat and cheese. The fries were just average and not hot. I only ate a few and I liked them better than regular fries. I asked Robbie for a dessert suggestion and he said the carrot cake or the black and white cookie. I chose the cookie to go because I couldn't even finish the whole sandwich. When I got home I was shocked at ghe size of the cookie!!! Huge!! Robbie was right, it was great. I ate half that night and saved the other half for the next day. This is the closest I have found in the area to a real New York deli. Thank you for making my birthday special. I will be back!

I was the first client when they opened. The place was spotless. Temp was nice a cool. The server was friendly and courteous. Sandwich was OUTSTANDING! Fries were definitely cut fresh. Really good too. I was here about three years ago. I have no idea what took me so long to go back.

Oh gosh, as a native Jersey guy, I want to love this place but I can't do it. I had a full roast beef and turkey combo sandwich. The portion was quite big, about 3/4 pound of meat, just as it should be. The meat was pretty thick cut as well. But the roast beef disappointed me. I expected roast beef around medium rare, but it would up being served hot and cooked all the way through. Just not what I had in mind. Turkey was fine, poppy kaiser roll was nice and fresh. Megan was a really sweet server, a little shy, but I can tell she cares that the customers are happy. Ron, the owner, interacted with some of the regular customers at the bar, which is a sign of a good owner. The staff is why I'll go to the 4th star. I like that you can grab a bag of Deep River chips and a cold Dr Browns soda right off the shelf. Also, they have a nice bar with a reasonably good selection of drafts. I'm sure I'll come back and try the pastrami or corned beef, but the roast beef will be a pass.

Super friendly place! All the staff looked out for us and were just as nice as they could be.They were doing quite the business for a Sunday lunch time. Small restaurant with a bar. We were able to find parking on the side, cause the front and back were totally full. We started by ordering the Upper West Side Egg Rolls with Pastrami, Cole Slaw and Honey Sriracha which were fantastic! The Lower Side ones sound great too, will have to do those next time. I ordered their special which was stuffed cabbage, and sadly they were out of it. Went with a turkey reuben while Husband had the open faced brisket sandwich with fries. For a slight upcharge I got the cucumber salad instead of fries. Do know that the "petite" sandwich is far from petite. Thickly sliced turkey, melted cheese, small amount of sauerkraut and a very small amount of Thousand Island. I asked for more and my granted wish really added to the sandwich which was otherwise a little dry and could use the extra taste to it. Husband's brisket was nice and lean but he did need to add salt to it (which he almost never does). Fries were a real highlight. Husband was at first taken a bit aback by the gravy being cold, but he said when mixed with the hot meat it worked. Even though my sandwich was "petite", I brought home half of it and a lot of cucumber salad. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. If you're wondering where in Cary this is, it's in the Crossroads area.
