I visited this place a few weeks after my friend notified me they were voted the top restaurant in the US (according to Yelp). After reading the reviews and seeing there may be a long line, I had prepared myself. Luckily, I was able to come at an off hour, on a Saturday and I pretty much walked right up to the counter.

I ordered the Lucky Luciano, which is the only sandwich that has italian sausage in it on the menu. I added a bag of chips and a can of coke. The sandwich was huge, cheesy and delicious. The sausage was loose and not in casing, so that was a little different, but overall, a great tasting sandwich. The bread got a little soggy after about 5 minutes, otherwise I would have tried to take the 2nd half of it home.

Different than any other sandwich you will find in the Houston area, and that's part of why it's so great.

Yelp's number 1 place in the country! Was it worth it?! Absolutely!

I had to come here with my family after learning that this was the number 1 place and especially since the drive would not of been that far anyway. We arrived at a good time, after lunch time so around 2pm-ish. The signs on the outside of the door had me concerned when it said that the wait times would be around 1hr and 30 minutes, surely left for those that had been there during busy lunch times.

The place itself is small but clean and with some outdoor seating. The food though! So this definitely stands out from most other deli shops you will find in the area...well in fact any place really comparatively. The quality and freshness of the sandwiches is what really makes this place stand out. I ended up getting the Sinatra which was a good regular cold cut, my dad though got one of the hot sandwiches...oh so good and for a good price.

My husband continue to talk (and drool) over our visit here. All I can say is that our food was just RIDICULOUSLY good! I mean just De-LISH-ous! Mary and Hootie are just wonderful, down-to-earth people who just "visit" with you while they prepare your meal. Hootie has every detail of the menu memorized as well as any modifications he would suggest after finding out the flavor combos you prefer. It really is mind-blowing how passionate they are about what they do. It's a little bit of a drive for us but I have been SO ready to go back! I may end up going by myself but will suffer the wrath from my husband. That's a chance I'm willing to take SOON! Haha!
