Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.

That's Garden Variety Deli. Genuinely kind, cool people who are passionate about their food--and it shows! Every ingredient is perfection and it's a good thing I don't live closer or those cookies would become a daily ritual. Plus, farm-to-table produce means you can safely get a salad here even when regular lettuce is apparently giving everyone diarrhea. Stop in and get a killer sandwich and baked goods from these fine folks!

I had already decided on going with Turkey, again but when I went to the counter to order they were out of the turkey. The staff manning the counter suggested the Roast Beef. I was skeptical as I have my favorite roast beef sandwiches, but I went with it. They are super friendly here and everything is so fresh! I had to go with their suggestion. I added on a peach scone. Took a seat at the counter by the window, grabbed a glass of water from the dispenser and read me book and watched the people till my sandwich was ready. All the sandwiches come on their house made focaccia and it is very good! Roast beef, romesco, pickled radish, aioli, and greens. It was a delicious sandwich, I loved the pickled radish and the whole sandwich had great flavor and freshness that you could taste - just like everything I have had here. I ate half and saved half for lunch the next day. I like scones as they are a nice dough but not overly sweet. This one had great texture and crumb.

I has the wagyu Philly Cheesesteak with mushrooms, onions, sweet and hot peppers. The sandwich has a kick, but not too hot. It was very enjoyable. The fries were crispy.

They're truly such sweet people, and every time they checked on us it felt genuine and made our visit so welcoming. The owner even noticed we were a bit torn on what to order and pointed us toward some great options. Can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu!

The service was excellent, and the fact that they make their own bread is outstanding. Based on the food, location, and service alone, I would have gladly given them 5 stars. That changed when I saw the sign on the door stating that ICE officers would not be served. I respect the owners' right to have and express their personal opinions. But when you choose to publicly post those views at your business, you should also be willing to accept that customers may have a different opinion. My opinion is that I stand with law enforcement. The owners have every right in this great nation to take the position they have--and I have every right to decide that I won't return. I sincerely hope they never find themselves in a situation where they need the help of a law enforcement officer. But if they do, I believe those officers will still respond professionally and give them the respect and assistance that every person deserves. It's unfortunate, because without that issue, this would have been an easy 5-star review.

I stopped by on a Sunday just before a rush, so I was able to get my food ordered and made promptly. I just had the spicy chicken katsu sandwich and fries, which was very good.

I do want to eventually come by and try one of their desserts, but I was absolutely stuffed after my food, so I did not indulge this time. Considering the serving size, I think the price is very reasonable. It's not a huge menu, but sometimes that's just a sign that they only make what they know they can do well. Highly recommended

I was greeted promptly and then the cashier helped me select some items since it was my first time here. Went with the egg salad sando and togarashi fries and a pork tonkatsu sando with sweet curry fries. They both came with a curry dip. Togarashi is the clear winner, even for a curry fan like me. The decor is so cute, with murals and a variety of seating. There are cards and games in one corner. Note: this is NOT fast food. Ingredients are prepped, but the time it takes to fry a pork tonkatsu is the time it takes. There were only half a dozen people in front of me, but there was a bit of a wait. I'd love to come back and try the taiyaki and fruit sandos. I'll be enjoying my leftovers for the next couple of days. The egg salad sando seems very pricy, volume-wise compared to the pork.
