One of my favorite fast-casual spots in Columbus for a quick, consistently delicious meal and I've…read morealready been three times in the past few months. My usual order is the Reuben on rye with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and Russian dressing. It's always my go-to and never disappoints. I also recently tried the State & Main on rye with corned beef, pastrami, and coleslaw, which was another solid choice. I've heard great things about the Paesano on an Italian sub bun with ham, hot capicola, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and Italian dressing (can be served hot or cold). A friend's favorite is the Figaboudit on grilled ciabatta with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese, and arugula. If you go, don't skip the homemade chips with the house-made sour cream and onion dip--it's easily my favorite thing on the menu and worth ordering as a side or appetizer.

As a sandwich lover, I had seen Uptown Deli & Brew pop up as a suggestion so many times, so we…read morefinally decided to give it a try! Parking was super easy, with free parking lots around the area. I honestly expected this to be a small deli, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a full restaurant as you walk further inside. It was packed for a Saturday lunch, which was a good sign! Since it was just the two of us, we sat at a communal high-top. Service was a little slow to start. We waited around 10 minutes before a server came over, but once we got going, things were fine. We started with the cheese curds, and these were delicious! They tasted fresh and homemade and were definitely one of our favorites. For sandwiches, I ordered the Italian beef and my partner got a turkey sandwich with some type of pesto on it. Both sandwiches were great! The Italian beef was more similar to a French dip, but it was still really tasty. My partner loved his turkey sandwich as well. The chips, however, were disappointing. They were extremely bland and definitely needed some salt or seasoning. We also tried the French onion dip, which was fine, but the chips really took away from it. The beer cheese was a total no for us. It was VERY liquidy and grainy, almost more like beer cheese soup than a dip. We were especially disappointed because it was an upcharge. Overall, we really enjoyed the sandwiches and cheese curds, and I would definitely come back to try another sandwich. I just wish the chips had more flavor and the beer cheese was thicker and more dip-like!

There is a fish option too that alot of people came in and ordered. I wish I tried the fish because that's what seemed to be the most popular but the chicken was a grand slam. The noodles are home made and have the texture of a wide Thai noodle but is the size of a lasagna noodle. These noodles hold a ton of the spices and compliment the dish very well. I did not see anything related to a deli other than two empty deli cases. I'm not sure if it use to be a deli or is only a deli at certain times of the day.

The service made this experience memorable. The gentleman working asked me if it was my first time. He made some recommendations. They were out of corned beef for the #3 The Eiffel Tower so he substituted bacon for me instead. I liked that the buns are smooshed flat, the meat and cheese heated and melted, and then the additional toppings diced up into smaller pieces. I had about a 20 minute drive that could have made the difference, but once I started eating the sandwich it was good but aa bit chewy. It might have been less chewy if I would have ate it right away. I also ordered the specialty croissant. The staff person asked me if I was okay with the price, it was $8. I appreciated he let me know the price and made sure I still wanted it as it was a bit pricey. The croissant was amazing! This was also a food that was better ate day of. I had it the next morning for breakfast and although it was delicious you could tell it was getting stale already. It was beautifully made. Frenchi's was good, just eat it right away for optimal freshness!

I didn't come to a deli looking for a salad so I can't say anything other than it really LOOKED GOOD. The dining area is somewhat reminiscent of a NYC deli - open, loud and lively. I had the Spicy Sicilian Sub and my wife had the Smokey Jack Panini. Both came with some really good chips. Both sandwiches were excellent and are something we'd order again. BONUS - the man who took our order explained that our orders also included FREE ICE CREAM. They have a self-service, soft ice cream machine near the salad bar with vanilla, chocolate and swirl ice cream - available in a dish or a cone. Nice bonus.

To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap.
