2ND BEST REUBEN IN PITTSBURGH…read more My buddy Hunter has told me about this spot for at least half a year now and I finally made it Inside is like the most basic small town deli you'd expect with 2 tables and two small ones by the windows. Insane amount of chip options and for whatever reason Pepperidge Farms cookies. Wish they had homemade ones or local bakery because one with this meal would be perfect Macaroni Salad. I was a huge fan of this because it was SUPER light in mayo and not overpowering in the slightest. It could use a little more salt though. 7/10 Potato Leek. Fucking awesome but needed pepper. 8/10 Spicy Italian. Just boar's head meat, a SOLID house Italian on BreadWorks. 6.5/10 Reuben. LETS GO. BreadWorks marble rye, solid corned beef/thousand island and sauerkraut. The bread was cooked with the perfect amount of butter that when you press in you get the flood gates. I will always complain about not enough meat on a Reuben. Same thing here. 9/10 Absolutely worth the try if you are within 15min of this spot or passing through for the Reuben and quick lunch sandwiches I don't think I'll ever go back because Marshall's Reuben still shits on this

One more try next time I am in the area and that will be the tell. I feel like everyone raises their prices because of the economy, when it's really not, but I actually want what I am paying for. If that is how much you need, to cover the cost of my food, okay. But I am not pay more and getting much, much less. And that's what it seems. If you need to add ~double meat Additional $2 then do it. Don't skimp on toppings. That is why we are here!

Stopped into Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville expecting just to grab some meat for the week, and ended…read moreup walking out with lunch too because everything looked too good to pass up! It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

I'm probably never going to review anything as perfect, but this was as close as I could expect…read more The people there were very friendly and eager to help. Doors were opened for me, minor points discussed and service was fast. I was at an event down the street and stopped here to check it out. I saw an interesting selection of soups available and decided to try the stuffed cabbage soup. I ate it at a bistro table on the sidewalk. I thought the soup was great. It could have used a bit of salt, but the flavor was exceptional even without it. I ordered fries and was cautioned that they do not salt their fries. I was offered salt, pepper and ketchup packets to add myself. The fries were obviously fresh cut and double fried, being a perfect golden brown. The hit of the day was the pastrami. I ordered the standard sandwich, with cheese and deli mustard on good rye bread. I could have had my choices of cheese and condiments, but ordering the standard menu item gives me a better idea of what a place is all about. It is obvious that they take their food seriously. The pastrami was lean with great flavor. My sandwich came with a pickle that added to my enjoyment. The inside and outside were clean and well maintained. The people there were nice, the food good and the prices reasonable. You can't ask for more than that.

I ordered to go and was very disappointed when I got home to see how thin my sandwich was for $17! I come from a city that's known for their cornbeef, they stack the sandwich so thick you have more meat than you know what to do with. Maybe my expectations were too high but I think this is a kind shady and I feel a bit cheated. I don't think I will be returning anytime soon

But he did bring desserts home for me to eat. :) My husband said that the employees were "very nice," and they efficiently served him. The bakery has a deli that serves sandwiches and breakfast foods. Here are my reviews for our desserts: Apple fritter - 3 stars - I did not enjoy the taste of this dessert, but my husband described it as "fine." I could see but not taste the apple. Apple dumpling - 4 stars - Some dough was crispy, and other dough was soggy. I enjoyed the apple filling. Bow ties - 4.5 stars - These cookies are also known by other names such as kolache cookies. They came in assorted flavors such as raspberry, apricot, nut, and cream cheese. I liked the raspberry and apricot flavors the best. Elephant ear - 4 stars - This cookie was a huge size and had a pleasant sugary flavor. Apricot danish - 4 stars - This pastry was sweet and had a delicious center of apricot jelly.

We got the crab cake sandwich and the feast Rachel. Crab cake sandwich was meaty and a great value. The Rachel sandwich came loaded with turkey! The service was fast and friendly.

We waited about an hour for our food which was kind of frustrating but they were absolutely slammed.

The mascarpone was dense and I believe they used cake instead of the ladyfingers. It genuinely pretty bad and I wouldn't get it again which sucked because tiramisu is my go to dessert (also pretty pricey for the portion we got). At that said, I will be back to try other dishes!
