    I had to add a new lense to my iPhone to get the entirety of how massive this Ruben is into the lense
    Andrew S.

    Describe what might be the most delicious sandwich you've ever had multiply that by three that still won't be as good as the Reuben sandwiches from Columbia food. It's run by a small family in the area and the service is quick. The portions are large and it's always clean late at night so when I'm working long hours, I can always stop in for a delicious sandwich. For all you kombucha drinking hipsters I think they have 23 kinds of kombucha and everything is all goofy hipster approved. Please be back the food and the service here are awesome

    Clam chowder and sourdough bread for nice light lunch
    Timothy H.

    Great spot in downtown Seattle for a quick and inexpensive lunch. The employees are all super friendly and they know the menu well. I had a small bowl of their clam chowder, which was decent, and it came with two slices of sourdough bread which they were nice enough to toast for me. It was the perfect lunch for someone like myself with a moderate appetite. All for under $10. I had my order in under 2 minutes. Everything was clean. I plan to go back and try their sandwiches and wraps. The person sitting next to me was eating one of their chicken wraps and it looked amazing. So that's next on the list. Please don't forget to clean up after yourself.

    #2 The Boardroom sandwich
    Jon O.

    Great place to grab a sandwich for lunch. I had The "Boardroom" which had generous portions of ham, turkey, and bacon, with warm cheese and buttery bread. I could only eat half, had to save the other half for dinner. There are 11 other sandwich options on the menu so guaranteed you'll find one you like. They also have soups, wraps, and a few salads, so something for everyone.

    This is a spotless quick-serve coffee shop/eatery located downtown. It is also a little food market/wine shop. You order from the counter (or a touchscreen) and pick it up when they call your name.

    Food & snacks shop. There are breakfast (served the whole day), salads, soups, all in grab&go format, but you can have a meal there as well - there are seating places. Portions are big. There are different coffees and teas, also matcha. Here you can buy some snacks, fruits, milkshakes and other drinks, wines are also available to buy. Big windows, so very bright inside.

The food was, as always, awesome. I had The Gooch (which I have been jonesing to have again for years!), my partner has Va Va Shroom, and our friend had Emilio Pestevez. We also shared some fries. My only disappointment was the ambiance. I remember it being packed with various Capital Hill denizens, sassy wait staff, and joyful exuberance. This time, it was a ghost town. No one greeted us, we ordered on their phone app, and then food just suddenly appeared. The waiter was friendly but promptly disappeared again. The only other humans we saw were occasional DoorDash drivers picking up their orders. We were perfectly capable of entertaining ourselves...but as a finally leaving the house to eat in a real sit down restaurant experience it left a resounding meh. I was reminded of an episode of the revived X-files, when Muldar and Scully were trapped in automated restaurant hell, although we did manage to produce our own good time. See attached photo which we decided should be our next album cover - Break thru in the Red Room.

Chicago Italian Hot Beef, Philly Cheesesteak, smash burger and a variety of other quick service beef meals with fries. The service was good and the food was served hot. Everything is packaged to go and there is a large communal seating area in the center of the building. When you order your meal, everything was entered onto a computer screen and paid before your get your food. The Italian Hot Beef didn't come with cheese so I had to add it as an upcharge where it then became more expensive than the Philly cheesesteak. That didn't make sense but it was a good portion size and the flavors were perfect. They have Pepsi products for beverages and although the only condiment they have is Ketchup the other food stall may have a better selection if you need.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

Their bagels are fabulous as is their lox. For those, like me, who can unhinge their jaw for an authentic pastrami or corned beef masterpiece. Go with the "Ding sized" sandwich. They'll make a smaller Seattle sized version as well for those who don't treat deli as an indulgence of rye and meat piled high. I wish they'd add kreplach to the menu (sorry Vance. I know my litany is old!) but I keep discovering new deliciousness here even after being a regular for nearly 4 years since my recovery from a life threatening illness, that I recovered from in part due to making regular stops here during my post surgical recovery. Just today I had the blintzes for the first time with their in house made cherry compote and sour cream. Amazing. Keep up the amazing work!!! My recommendation for newbies. Get the pastrami on marbled rye with gribenes and mustard. If you're feeling extra indulgent ask for a schmear of chopped liver, if you're keen on said. You won't regret it!

And pretty much no chicken in it. The "famous hash and eggs" equally underwhelmed. The "hash" mixture seemed to be from yesterday or older, mostly potato, with little corned beef. There was nothing "famous" about it. I tried the fresher corned beef sandwich my friend got and felt the fresh corned beef was quite good - hence the upgrade from 2 to 3 stars here. It's counter service, they bring the food (no numbers for tables makes this a bit of a trial and error) . Coffee is self serve and there is a sign saying refills are $2.75.... how un-American.
