They sell wings, salads, and sandwiches. Popping in for lunch with a friend, I ordered the Parkers Fried Chicken sandwich, which is a chicken breast drizzled with mumbo sauce. It was big and tasty! For $2.50, I added a bag of chips and their house made strawberry lemonade. There's a single table inside and lots of tables and chairs outside along the side. Street parking is easy and service kind.

A young man took our order and it was ready in about 15 minutes. There is a lot of cute open airspace to enjoy while you wait. I had the chicken sandwich. There wasn't anything really wrong with it but I just felt like the sweet chili didn't really add anything to it. My sister had the veggie wrap and the fish sandwich and she definitely enjoyed. Other members of my family ordered I believe it was the salmon salad and enjoyed that, so all in all it seems like a great place to eat when you're looking to buy local and enjoy a fresh meal. I also believe it's black-owned which is a plus. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars.

The bread was super soft, and both the tomatoes and meat tasted really fresh but there was just something missing that kept it from having that "wow" factor for me. The service, though, was excellent! The owner was very friendly, and the place wasn't as busy as I've heard it can get during the day, which made for a nice, easy experience. If you're looking for an affordable, fresh sandwich in the DMV area, I'd definitely say give this place a try , it might just hit the spot for you.

I got the order to go and when I walked in I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot, when I told them my name they had my order right there. I don't know if they are affiliated with Denny's or just using their kitchen. The sand which was around $14, combo $18 which I think is a little high especially if your coming out of Denny's, but it's a decent size sand and I could easily just eat half with a side and drink and be full and save the other for dinner but I can't eat huge quantities usually. I think this place has a good shot but hopefully they can get somewhere on their own so they can attract more customers.

The bread was sesame crusted and didn't get soggy even with all the fillings. Again, wharf prices can get $$$ so this was $15 and will set you back $17+ with service fee and tax if ordering online. Overpriced but it was delicious and I'm willing to splurge on it as a treat.

The Crunchy Boi is served on a 10 inch roll with turkey, lettuce, onions, pickles, chips and garlic mayo. I thought the sandwich was pretty good. I would ask for light mayo if I got the sandwich again. The chips added the perfect crunch and texture to the sandwich.

This is a small, but efficient sandwich/sub shop on Barracks Row. I got the Crunchy Boi, which…read moreseems to be their most popular and is the sub I see most often on social media. In theory, the sub should be good. It has turkey, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and mayo. Unfortunately for me though, there was barely any mayo, so my sub was extremely dry. Especially because of the chips. I obviously didn't notice until I got home and unfortunately I didn't have any mayo at home at the time, so I was stuck eating a super dry sandwich. I imagine with a proper amount of mayo, this sub would taste much better. Two stars for the team. They were very friendly and helpful. I was confused about the ordering process and they happily helped me out.

The bread really is the difference maker and the fact they stuff the sub with quality ingredients. That's it. This review is about the cheesesteak.

It was a good cookie but not great (6/10). Those potato chips though? Highly recommend those (10/10)! I went at 3pm on a Saturday and it felt very devoid of energy. Ordering at a Kiosk was also not great because why am I being charged a service fee of 10% when no human is taking my order and security is delivering my food? This place made me feel like I wasn't welcome to eat inside. I much preferred the window service I got at the old location. At least I had a reason to go somewhere nice to eat my sandwich. While the food is still great, I absolutely dislike the lack of service and ambiance of the place. It's dark and moody, while making me feel uneasy.

On paper the sandwiches are packed with flavor and toppings, sadly both sandwiches I've tried here have had overcooked proteins and came off very bland.
