The sandwiches and subs? Fantastic! The selection of Italian market items? Great! But the real magic happens when you're treated like family (or a long-lost cousin) by the lovable, wisecracking team behind the counter. You'll feel like you're in Nonna's kitchen, minus the guilt trips and awkward family photos. Now, about that signature sub, the Thanos... chef's kiss It's a flavor bomb that'll make you say, "I am inevitable...ly going back for more!"

I had packed lunch, but it smelled so good in here I had to give it a try. They have salads, sandwiches on Pasta's fresh bread, and other sides. The shelves are stocked with all sorts of pasta, sauces, etc. I almost wanted to spend the rest of my day in here, even if it was just taking a seat and looking out the window. I decided to try the State St sandwich. It was so fresh and delicious. I can tell they put a lot of care into their preparation. You can call to order ahead if you're on a time crunch. I will definitely be back!

It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

This is the place you take people who think vegan food can't be good. It's one of my top 5 vegan restaurants in the US.

It's a great place to sit with friends or even to sit with your work computer. 100% recommend - once you go, you'll just keep going back. (Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite so far!)

I will preface this by saying I'm from Philadelphia and ordering something called a Philly steak and cheese outside of the city limits is akin to blasphemy. So don't tell anyone ;) But I won't judge that sandwich against the Philly examples. I'll judge it on individual merits. And on its own merit, it was a very tasty sandwich. On top of that my wife's grilled cheese absolutely looked legit. I appreciate the fact that a small place like this takes pride in the food they put out. And judging by how busy it was at 7:30 on a Thursday night, the locals know it too. If I'm ever back in Syracuse, I'll stop back.

This place definitely gives me bodega vibes, and overall, I had a good experience--but I've had two…read morevery different visits. The first time I went was during the lunch rush, and honestly, it was amazing. Before I was even fully inside, the staff greeted me, asked if it was my first time, offered me samples, walked me through the menu, and gave recommendations based on what they personally liked and what they thought I'd enjoy. They even explained which sauces paired best with different items. The energy in the restaurant was so upbeat and welcoming, even though they were incredibly busy. They treated every customer that way, and it really made me feel like they value both their employees and their customers. That positive atmosphere definitely stood out. On top of that, the food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I left thinking, "I'm definitely coming back." My second visit was around the start of the dinner rush, around 6:00-6:30 p.m., and it was a completely different experience. The staff was still kind and polite, but the energy just wasn't the same. It felt much quieter and less engaging than my first visit. I also paid for extra sauce because I remembered wanting more the first time and having to pay for it, but my meal came without any sauce on the food--it was only on the side. When I asked about it, they had no problem fixing it and were very friendly about it, which I appreciated but it just seemed odd that the first time my food was made with sauce included. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't taste quite as good as it did during my first visit. I haven't tried any of the desserts yet, but they looked incredible. The cake slices are HUGE--I honestly think one slice could easily be shared between two or even three people. At around $7.99, I think they're reasonably priced considering the portion size. Overall, I also found the menu prices to be fair, and there's a great variety of options to choose from. Because my experiences were so different, I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. If my second visit had matched my first, this easily would have been a five-star review. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll probably stick to going during lunch since that first experience was so memorable. For anyone wondering what I ordered, I got the chicken and lamb halal over rice. It came with onions, tomatoes, and a few other toppings (I don't eat onions, so I can't remember everything that was included), along with a piece of naan bread. During my first visit, I couldn't decide between breakfast and lunch, and the staff recommended I try the rice platter--and I'm so glad they did because it was delicious. I still couldn't resist ordering a side of French toast, though, and that was a great choice too! Everything was generously portioned, and I left full both times with left overs. I do believe they told me they serve breakfast all day as well.

The exterior and interior were both very beautiful and remind me shops that I've visited while in NYC. I ordered the #18 which was smoked turkey, cheddar, spinach, pears and garlic mayo. WOW! That's the first word that came to kind after my first bite. This was easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life!!! Everything was perfect right down to the freshly baked French bread, delicious! The staff were all so kind. Even during their rush hour they didn't skip a beat and handled every customer with kindness.

But it's just as good as it was back then. The sandwich I got was quite delicious. The pesto didn't overpower anything. And the bread had a nice crisp to it. Great flavor, chicken was tender. I would certainly get it again. The staff was friendly and the food came up quickly. The ambience is definitely casual, what you would expect for a small sandwich shop. It's too bad that I have not been here in quite some time. I will return again soon I hope. Prices a little high where is it not high anymore. Great place to stop if you're looking for lunch quick

Our second time here; almost a year after they opened. They've expanded their menu; which I think…read moreis great! Same great quality, wait time, dedication, and atmosphere as before. We started out both getting the Dutch Mules to drink; which was a nice crisp take on a classic Moscow Mule. I also got The Stapleton later; which consisted of a fine whiskey, triple sec, OJ, and some other additives which was like drinking a whiskey mimosa without the bubbles. Super delish! My wife got the Knickerbocker sandwich on the special list, and I got the Huckleberry panini. Both very satisfying and satiating in their own ways. Both came with homemade in house chips covered in light spices We loved it, and will be back! Reasonable prices without cutting costs; which is definitely appreciated these days.

Tried Crooked Cattle for takeout on a DoorDash happy hour promotion at 25% off (unclear if this was…read morea one time deal or a daily offering). I ordered the Beef of Weck and Potato Salad given past reviews seemed to deem these two items as menu staples. The potato salad was fine, in need of a big pinch of salt. The Beef on Weck was a hardy, and a big portion for a sandwich, the extra horseradish wasn't necessary unless you're really a fan. However, the sandwich should be eaten with the au jus, otherwise it borders on flavorless. I did find the bun overly salty. Filling but not fufillying. Additional note... When I went to pickup the staff member wanted me to sign off on a receipt of the full amount without the discount. When I stated I paid online, he responded it had to do with the fact DoorDash doesn't allow for a tip. When I asked for a new bill representative of what I paid, the manager came and said they ask for the signature to confirm it was picked up... Then I said, I can indicate that here on the app, and he agreed and let me go with my food. Overall the interaction made me uncomfortable as I've never experienced a similar situation with pickup. Perhaps just me, but something I feel someone should be made aware of if they're ordering to-go.

Perfectly stacked, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you order one. The in-house pickles were also excellent, with that fresh, crisp bite that makes a deli feel legit. Sides were good across the board. The mac salad and potato salad were both tasty -- not the best I've ever had, but definitely above average and enjoyable. The only miss for me was the mac & cheese. It had a bit of a strange aftertaste and was very bland -- I personally like a stronger cheese flavor, and this one just didn't deliver. On the service side, everything was great. Staff were friendly and quick, the order was packed well for takeout, and the place looked clean and well kept when I went in. Overall, I'd absolutely go back -- especially for that Reuben.
