Wow everything about this restaurant is great, nice employees and the atmosphere and food is killer. The Meatball sub was awesome and the addition of the cream cheese takes these sandos to the next level. Clean and presentable inside as well.

Pleasantly surprised by the amazing sandwiches and soups! I had a pastrami Malibu half with broccoli cheddar side with bacon topping. Stellar! Nice surf vibes too, table tops are gorgeous surfboard shaped, seating is in booths, love it. All that at nice prices, this won't kill your food budget. The beer selection looked very good, both tap and can. Recommend!
