This was our first time at first and last, but it will definitely not be our last. Staff was amazing. The food was great. You were able to hang out and linger a little bit without feeling pressured to leave a beautiful ambience. It was a great experience for all of us. read more

Came here to celebrate my 22nd birthday with a group of friends and had a great experience overall. We were able to make a reservation easily, and the space itself was beautiful--clean, well-designed, and had a great music vibe. The service really stood out. While the gluten-free options were a bit limited for one of my friends, the staff went above and beyond by offering an extra glass of wine when they ran out of the orzo she planned to order. They also surprised our table with champagne and gave me a personalized birthday card, which made the night feel extra special. The food was excellent with generous portions. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for celebrations. read more

Went here for lunch for the first time. The mango lemonade was delicious and the sandwiches were large! We enjoyed the little Jerry a lot. My partner didn't love the maestro - he didn't realize it was a cold sandwich and thought it'd be hot. I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was the best sandwich I've ever had. We also tried to pizza slice of the day which was a unique one - we liked that too. We got there at 11 when they opened and there was already a line! But it moved quickly. Overall definitely worth trying out read more

My friend and I loveeee First & Last! It is our go to spot when we are downtown and it never disappoints. The vibe inside is always amazing and they play the best music. Our server was great - she kept my diet cokes full and was very kind! To eat we started with the oysters which came with a little hot sauce dropper (amazing). I ordered the cast iron baked focaccia which was to die for!! I also got the seasonal burrata which was delicious. My friend ordered the pork loin which was soooo tasty as well. Perfectly cooked! This place never lets us down and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Walked in from the back of the restaurant and saw the restroom first. The communal sink area at least got me thinking wow this is different. It's a cool ambiance with a boho style interior with seating areas downstairs and a small upstairs area. The Little Jerry is as good as it looks if you love cheese. There are quite a few interesting cocktails here as well if I recall, but it was too early for that when I went. read more

I came on a Sunday morning and waited about 15 minutes. There was a constant line, which made me excited to try it as I was visiting from out of town. I ordered the Little Jerry, and I can see why it's so popular on social media. As a Parmesan lover, it was perfect. The sandwich was packed with sauce and flavor. It's basically a pizza in sandwich form, with a pesto like green sauce and a delicious chicken cutlet. My boyfriend ordered the Jack Klompus, but compared to the Little Jerry, it lacked flavor. Overall, I'd still recommend it! The setup is mostly self serve, with food brought out to your table. Also, music was great! read more

We were a group of 4 that came in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly busy. Three of us ordered sandwiches and one friend ordered a chicken Caesar salad. I ordered the the following sandwich: ROCHELLE, ROCHELLE / $21 copper ranch grilled steak, crispy onions, caramelized onions, smoked gouda cheese wiz + soda The sandwich was really good and one of a kind. It was flavorful, full of meat, and the bread was fresh. The sandwich was very juicy, therefore it got to be a little messy after a few bites so be preparedddd. Service was good as the interaction with the employees was small. Our table was dirty when we sat down. The inside is welcoming! read more

We went here for lunch on Saturday and per usual, were thrilled with our sandwiches. The little Jerry sandwich was super cheesy and delicious, I loved it. The Rochelle Rochelle was so filling, I had to take half home! I love the bread that first & last serves their sandwiches on. The focaccia is always so amazing. Our service was speedy. We sat inside and took in the pretty views but it was nice outside and they have table top fans in case you want to sit outside. I always love sitting upstairs but we sat downstairs this time so switch it up and still had plenty of room. It's never too loud here that you can't catch up with whoever you go with. read more

Food was ok and the cashier was friendly. It was Sunday around lunch time and it was busy. At one point the line was out the door. I ordered the Bosco Sandwich and it was not really my favorite. It lacked flavor as the inside did not taste like anything. It needed some pepper or salt tbh... the fresh made bread was my favorite though, delicious.. I tried my friends jerry sandwich and omg it was really good. The Rochelle Rochelle is also another good one. read more

SOOOO BUSSSS. we went here for lunch on a sunday and there was plenty of seating and the vibes were so good bc it was so sunny and they were playing sunny summer music and i genuinely peaked. for drinks, the apple cider seasonal lemonade was so good and spiced, just sweet and sour enough. the sandwiches are phenomenal! top of the list is the little jerry, which had a lovely mix of textures with the fried chicken with a great acidity from the vodka sauce. the apple sandwich, art vandalay was also good, very fresh and classic. the bosco was a bit disappointing though - the mortadella wasn't very flavorful and we didnt get much output from the pistachio very much. additionally the antipasto salad was pretty mid bc it didnt seem very fresh but not much to expect from antipasto salad anyways. service was great and fast, and the checkout first is always an efficient process that i enjoy. read more

This is a great spot in the Roosevelt Row area and believe the hype when people tell you this place is good. A friend came into town (he knows his food) and I decided to take him here for lunch and we both enjoyed the experience. The place is gorgeous, well decorated, has a mature and elegant vibe that is inviting. Funny enough both my friend and I ordered the exact same items which included the Little Jerry sandwich and Maiden Voyage (mezcal based) drink. For lunch, there isn't full sit down service, you order at the register, take a number and then food is brought out to you. Service is great here! I can say both the sandwich and cocktail were amazing! The Maiden Voyage cocktail also has a special in that $2 of the proceeds go to St Mary's Food Bank. I appreciate that this business cares about the community. The few gripes are that parking is a situation around here. There is a covered lot right behind the restaurant but spaces can be limited there. My friend and I both also felt the prices were a bit high and can't seem to justify $19 for a sandwich. My total with tax and tip for lunch came to almost $50! And, the bathroom seemed to always be occupied, so that was a bit of an annoyance. So, I deducted one star for those concerns. I'd come back again but honestly this is one of those places that would be a once or twice a year kind of place for me. But, it's lovely! Perfect place to impress and out of towner too! Give it a try! read more

Worth checking out! The place can get packed but for all the right reasons. Amazing service and 100% amazing food. For everything we got, the value was spot on.

We had been waiting to go here for a long while since we saw this restaurant on a TikTok. The first time we came too late and were standing in line when the sandwiches ran out for the day. So we came super early and were first in line when they opened at 11am. We ordered the Little Jerry and the Bosco sandwiches and both were divine!!! The little Jerry was sooo saucy and delicious. The Bosco was a refreshing take on mortadella and pesto sandwich and was so yummy. 10/10 will be back to try more. We also got the passonfruit margarita and nectarine spritz, both of which were very good. The restaurant is super cute vibes and bright and airy during the day. Definitely will be back to try the delicious looking pastas for dinner! read more

*Experience based on Takeout Get their sandwiches! I have basically made my way through all their sandwiches and each are unique and full of fresh, quality, and flavorful ingredients. Their homemade focaccia makes the perfect sandwich. My personal favorites are any of their hot ones (Rochelle Rochelle, Little Jerry, and Hello Porchetta). Their Art Vandelay is everything I want in a chicken salad without being overly "mayo-y". Since this is solely on all takeout, I don't know about their service. Ambiance is casual but has a romantic vibe with the dark colors. read more

Words can't even begin to express how highly I recommend this place. The service, the food, and the atmosphere. Everything was absolutely perfect. I first discovered this spot through TikTok and knew I had to try it during my trip. They close on weekdays at 3 p.m. and don't reopen for dinner, which I didn't realize at first. I was running late from the airport, and to make matters worse, my Uber kept canceling. Despite that, the staff kindly stayed open a bit later so I could pick up my order. That level of kindness honestly meant so much. I tried to leave a tip through Toast afterward, but it wouldn't let me, and I wish I could go back and add one, because they truly deserve it. Now, about the food...the Caesar salad was hands-down the best I've ever had, and the Jerry sandwich? Impeccable. I even had it cold later, and it was still the best sandwich I've ever eaten. If you're in the area and looking for a great lunch spot, do yourself a favor and stop by. You absolutely won't regret it. read more

Stopped by for lunch. You stand in line and order. The line wasn't too bad, it moved fast. Their sandwiches are really good. Tried their little Jerry, it was quite a large sandwich and definitely was worth it. The basil pesto flavor went really well with the chicken cutlet. It was not too breaded but perfectly cooked. They also have take out boxes which you can grab yourself, it's quite easy and fast turn around if you are in a rush during lunch. There's a parking lot right opposite we didn't know about. Definitely need to come back to try more. The place itself has a nice casual modern vibe. Well maintained and decorated. The staff were very friendly. read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful and I enjoy the warm lightning a lot. The server was nice, but kept trying to have me order one of the drinks, which I repeatedly said I was not interested in. I found that a bit strange. For our appetizer, we ordered the Antipasto salad, which was excellent. It was very refreshing and well executed. My main was not as good, and I had a lemon mushroom pasta which I tasted no lemon in. It just tasted like Alfredo sauce... maybe I ordered wrong. I would try other menu items, but would skip that pasta. read more

Came here for brunch, and I had a good experience. There is indoor and outside seating. Since it was a little too hot, which is to eat inside. There's plenty of seating, and there is like an upstairs area too. You order your sandwich, and they bring it up over to you. You can order one and share it. Because they are pretty big We had two different types of sandwiches. One was a cold one. I believe it's called the little Jerry. It was enormous, and filled with flavor. I really enjoyed it, but I think if it was warm, it would taste a lot better. The other one we tried, was called Rochelle Rochelle that was a little messy, but it was very tasteful. The crispy onions hit the spot. Now, when you would have to eat it right away, so it doesn't get soggy. Definitely was my favorite. I will definitely come back and try a different one. Service was great, very helpful and attentive. They made sure we were doing OK. read more

The sandwich has been all over TikTok, so I have been tempted to try it. The Jerry was a hit. It was the perfect blend of pesto with spicy vodka sauce and a crispy piece of chicken. We took our sandwiches to go and they were packaged with care. Portions were huge, allowing you to enjoy your sandwich for days. The restaurant was busy and the staff could have been friendlier. The inside restaurant was super cute and had good vibes. Pro tip: if you take your sandwich to go, make sure to warm it up in the air fryer when you get home if you like your focaccia bread to have a little crunch. read more

Saw this on TikTok and knew I had to try it. First go I ordered a Little Jerry for takeout. It was amazing! The portion was huge and I had enough leftover to feed a hungry belly when I got home. The sandwich held up and was just as good that night. The second go, I tried the Rochelle Rochelle. It was delicious as well but I feel like it's better suited for in-person dining. It was hard to judge service as the takeout order is just placed on a stand, but it was convenient not to have to wait on someone to give it to me. Love the location, but parking is hit or miss. Thankfully I work close by so I know how to navigate my way around, but could see how it could be troublesome for others. I will be back and look forward to trying some other items. read more

I have been wanting to try First & Last since I came to visit in February. I made it there this past weekend and I was highly impressed. The little Jerry was a 10/10 sandwich. The pesto. The sauce. The bread. The bread was so soft. We had a short wait in line and were able to sit down right after ordering. The tables were clean, the staff was friendly and the ambiance was nice. I did have a green apple spritz that I was not a fan of. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've been wanting to try First and Last for months since seeing it promoted all over social media, and while I enjoyed my meal and am glad I tried it, it kind of missed the mark for me. I ordered the Pink Pony Club cocktail and later the 'Wolf Trap' white blend wine. For food, we ordered the whipped goat cheese, Sicilian swordfish belly, the puttanesca alla bucatini, porchetta style rabbit and creme caramel for dessert. The Pink Pony Club drink was definitely heavier on the raspberry and aperol flavors in my opinion, so as someone that likes mezcal, ginger and lime, this was kind of disappointing. The Wolf Trap wine was refreshing when it came out cold, but quickly got more acidic / bitter as it warmed up. The whipped goat cheese was delicious, and the focaccia was perfect -- it was dense yet fluffy and had a good oily / herby flavor. I was expecting the swordfish belly to be a little more tender / fatty like most belly cuts, but it was still pretty dense (this is my fault for not knowing any better). I liked the sauce, but the meat wasn't what I was going for. The entrees were an opportunity to try something new but they were not my favorite. I love olives and anchovies but the puttanesca was still a little too briny for me. The rabbit was cool to try, but the texture reminded me of a take & bake pork loin, and the guanciale didn't have the strong, salty flavor I was expecting. Overall, I think the food options were unique, but didn't quite elicit a mind blowing response. Lastly, I like the modern / rustic / Bohemian interior but we were seated upstairs, which just felt kind of dark and uninviting -- I wouldn't call it an attic, but it felt like a storage area. The service was good, and the wait staff was nice about holding our orders / pacing dishes more slowly since we were just enjoying sitting and chatting for a while. read more

I went to first and last after seeing this Littlw Jerry sandwich all over, and tbh I tried to go a couple times before but the line was always so long! I ended up messaging them asking for the best time of day to come and they were sooo friendly and helpful, and then months later we happened to walk by on a Saturday right when they were opening! There were a couple people waiting in line but there's a lot of seating. The sandwiches are huge! The service is amazing too, very attentive. The ceasar salad looked sooo good..I know a good ceasar by looking- the baby gem, the brown butter croutons, all the makings for greatness. My ONLY complaint, is that I was so excited for all this freshly grated parm like I saw in the photos (any Parmesan connoisseur knows what I mean) and it was the ground kind.. Oh, and the French apple cider is 10/10! read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and had a lovely, relaxed time--perfect spot for a lazy weekend morning. The outdoor seating has sprinklers, which was a lifesaver under the Arizona sun. The sandwiches are huge, so definitely consider sharing if you're not super hungry or want to save some for later. We tried the Bob Sacamano (turkey + brie + all the good stuff)--light but full of flavor, easily our fave. The Little Jerry was also tasty, with chicken in vodka sauce topped with generous amount of cheese, though a bit too rich for a hot day. I asked for my sandwich to be warmed up and they were happy to do it--super accommodating. Not the cheapest sandwiches, but well worth it for the portion, service, and chill atmosphere. Would definitely come back! read more

We came on a Sunday and the like wasnt that long, got there around 11sh which is around the time they open. We had the Little Jerry which we loved. It was so flavorful and just heavy haha nut chef's kiss 100%. Then we also shared the Rochelle, Rochelle which wasn't that much flavorful, idk but we felt the meat needed something else. Didn't enjoy that one that much. They have several drinks but for coffee options there was a Nitro that wasn't available and there was espresso I believe but no cream on the side. The place is pretty and has a very cool ambience. You order a the counter and they do take it to your table. Only gave 4 stars bc had so many expectations about the Rochelle one but it wasn't a hit. Will come back to try other options in the menu. Btw we only had another meal but very late during the day haha it is a lot of food read more

First & Last is known for its sandwiches that are only available during lunchtime, 11:00am-3:00pm (until 2:30pm on Sunday). My friend and I listened to reviewers and got there early, about half an hour, since they don't do reservations for lunch. We parked by the back entrance and thought that was the main door, so it seemed like we were the first ones in line. About 15-20 minutes later, still no one else showed up. So we walked around to the other side of the building and saw a long line already formed at the main door, whoops! They opened at 11:00am, and we waited about 20 minutes to get to the counter to order. You order and pay at the counter, get a number, and seat yourself. There are several tables inside and just a few outside. There is also seating upstairs, but we didn't go up there. My friend put in an order separately right after me. My sandwich came out after maybe 10 minutes, which was not too bad. However, my friend waited for like half an hour or more for hers! I think maybe there was a mix-up in the kitchen with two orders being on the same table number. One of the waitresses noticed the number on our table had been there for a while, so she went to check and got the order going. I got the "Little Jerry" and a bag of the truffle flavored chips. The sandwich came out topped with a lot of parmesan reggiano, which paired perfectly with the truffle chips. The chicken cutlet was covered in a spicy vodka sauce, which was very flavorful, not too spicy. Maybe the basil pesto helped tone it down. I'm not sure as I quickly devoured it! But note that it does get quite messy! When my friend finally got her "Bob Sacamano" sandwich, she enjoyed it so much! Thank goodness after that long wait. It contained turkey, orange calabrian mostarda, brie, and arugula. She also got the herb-flavored chips, and the taste reminded me of Thanksgiving! I docked one star just for the wait on my friend's food, but we really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend others to give it a try. Remember the main entrance has a yellow wall! Also, lunch is available for online ordering - for that you can enter from the back door, and there's a table set up for pick-up orders. read more

The Bosco sandwich was incredible! Reminded me of the infamous sandwich shop in Florence; mortadella, straciatella (a creamy cheese similar to burrata), pesto and arugula. I came for lunch a little before 2 and there was still a line out the door but it moved pretty quickly. Snagged a table outside and enjoyed their cozy patio with my sandwich and a nectarine spritz.

we came on a Thursday for lunch. Arrived around 12p and only waited about 25 minutes in line and about 20 minutes after ordering our lunch! Vibes were chill and space was clean and modern. For a Thursday-this place was poppin' and I was really hoping that would be indicate we chose right for lunch! Lemonade 2/5: it was expensive for a really mid drink. :( tasted really watered down. Rochelle Rochelle 4/5: was the standout of the two sandwiches we ordered! The flavors were so intense in a good way! A decadent balance of meat and cheese. My only gripe was even with the thick focaccia bread; it became soggy AND ZERO crunchy/friend onions. lol I wasn't sure if it was because they forgot them OR because it was too juicy/saucy lol. Little Jerry 2.5/5 - it was okay nothing special at all in my book except for presentation! It was a massive; thick piece of breaded chicken breast but it lacked flavor? Maybe it needed more sauce and cheese or something to make it pop. The bread again was excellent. We wondered if they sell just the bread to take home?! Overall 3/5. Maybe caught it on an off day or maybe just not our jam. I don't think we would come back unless we hear that we can purchase the bread to go or come to try one of their focaccia pizzas! read more

You don't have to be a fan of Seinfeld to make this a must stop location, but it doesn't hurt either. I couldn't decide if I was picking my sandwich for the name or for what was in it. We settled on 3, "Crazy Joe Davola", think meatball sub gourmet, "Little Jerry" chicken parm gourmet, and the "Maestro" spicy, which honestly transported us back to Rome. All three were incredible.
