Forget "sandwiches", this place makes sandwizes because the guy that runs this place is a wizard!…read moreHe knows his flavours, he knows his breads (which he collects at 4AM every morning), and him and his staff go above and beyond to look after the customer. We drove past this place one afternoon and the wife and I knew we had to eat here. We found street parking and made our way over. From the outside the red neon sign gave a very strong impression. Inside it was a little bit dull but that doesn't matter when you start to read the menu board. All the menu items suggest bold American flavours. Choose your filling, bread (sourdough or rye) and whether you want it fresh or toasted. I was worried about my sandwich being toast until I was told that they'd add the lettuce afterwards to prevent it from wilting. The food came out quick. My wife asked for soy milk in her coffee which they had run out of. However one of the staff went to the corner store, JUST FOR US, to buy a new carton. I was amazed by this. This truly was a selfless act and to me it defined what great customer service is. Our food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I ordered the hoagie sandwich. I know in The States a hoagie is this massive bread roll sandwich thing, but this being Australia they brought out a toasted sandwich which tasted just like a hoagie. Perfect down to the last bite. The staff are great company and extremely friendly. I want... nay, NEED to come back here to try some of the other sandwiches. A great place for a meal which isn't too heavy but will leave you thoroughly satisfied.

I love this place! Okay so it's not gonna be the best Reuben you've ever tasted, but it's so so so…read moreclose. Everything here is like 95% as good as you would find it back in the states. So if you're like me and have lived in Sydney for a while, this place is a godsend. They have both east coast and west coast reubens, onion rings, buffalo wings, thick shakes, actual delicious bbq sauce, just about everything you miss. And on top of it all, the staff/owner here is so nice! They served me my hot chocolate and accidentally spilt a bit onto the saucer, and they quickly apologized and replaced the saucer, before my brain even registered what happened. Love! Anyways, this is a great place for any American cafe nostalgia.

I can tell this place is inspired by Katz's deli in NYC since the Massive Reuben they serve comes…read moreclose to the same size. It's seriously hard to find a good Reuben in Sydney. Like, really hard...for some reason, there's been an uptick of Reuben sandwiches being offered in Sydney that aren't Reuben sandwiches at all. Just because you use corned beef on a sandwich, it doesn't make it a Reuben. If you use beef brisket and sauerkraut on a sandwich and call it a Reuben, you're full of crap...looking at you Copper Mill. A classic Reuben is a hot sandwich composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread. It originated in, you guessed it, America... Anyway, Reuben Republic started off as a food stall and then morphed into this brick and mortar shop. It's good too, as the sandwich is pretty legit. You can order an east coast or west coast Reuben (get the east) and you can get pastrami or corned beef. I personally prefer pastrami so I went with that. If you're hungry get the Massive Reuben (off the not-so-secret-menu) which is double portions of meat...my only gripe with this is there should be more sauce on it, but if you just ask for it they'll provide you some on the side. Service is top notch, and they have other offerings like shakes and salads. I would definitely come back, as it's been the most legit Reuben I've had in Sydney since Ruby & Rach is no longer around.

I happened to see somewhat of a long line outside Marrickville Pork Roll and decided to give it a try. I love that the sandwich is made right in front of you. It's not something you typically see in the States, but it's similar to how they do it in Vietnam. I also love how they include shredded pork skin in the sandwiches, another thing I don't see in the states. Overall, pretty quick service and it's a great meal on the go. Next time I'll check out the one in the CBD to see if the quality and service is the same.

The pork rolls here were okay, but they are not any better than other places near by like Illawara Pork Rolls, so I was surprised by its popularity. The crispy pork fillings were pretty average, and same with the pork fillings. Nothing really stood out. Since this place is not available on Uber Eats, I will probably order delivery from Illawara Pork Rolls next time instead of making the trip to Marrickville.

Ordered duck pancakes. Very generous serve of duck. Pancakes were good. Probably could have benefitted with some eschalotts and a little more sauce.

This is an awesome little bar in Sydney, to pop in for a quick cocktail (in a can!)…read more The style is a delicatessen with a bar back full of liquor bottles and letter signs (like a deli would have). They have some food but from what we saw it was more charcuterie platters (cheese and meats) and finger foods, with a few sandwich options. We were there for a quick drink and rest while we escaped the rain, so we didn't try any of the snacks, but they looked amazing. What we did try were the previously mentioned CANNED cocktails! Now these aren't just bought at the store canned cocktails, they are created and canned by The Continental Deli themselves! Now they are stored in a can, but don't worry, they do transport them to a glass for you, so no cutting your lips on a jagged can here. We had the Can-Hattan and the Mar-tinny. The martini was delicious and had the perfect amount of olive flavor. My husband had the Can-Hattan and he loved the sweet vermouth they used. I had a sip of his and YUM! If you're looking for a neat little spot to grab some interesting drinks, definitely give The Continental a try.
