A small spot with enough room for an ordering area, deli/salad case and a couple of beverage coolers. We wanted to try some of the sandwiches so their sub specials (Large Sub and 2 small subs) were perfect. Ordered a Large (huge and enough for two) Cheesesteak-stuffed with shaved steak and tasty-would recommend extra cheese to balance out. A small Hot Corned Beef with added Swiss cheese. We liked it -again stuffed with tasty/salty Corned Beef. Small Italian Cold Cut Sub included Mortadella and was very good. For sides, the fries were good but we enjoyed the potato salad the most. Super friendly service at the counter as well upbeat vibe in the kitchen. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads and soups. A hidden gem and local favorite that lives up to the hype!

Great options for an authentic Italian market!

I love all of their holiday foods as well. We picked up a bunch of chocolate eggs and ingredients to make tiramisu for Easter. They even offer wine tastings on Saturdays! The people who work here are so kind and helpful!

I ordered a BALT (bacon, avocado, lettuce, and tomato on white bread) and a bag of chips; my husband ordered a cup of Maryland crab soup, a pastrami on marble rye, and a bag of chips.

After we finished our lunch, we couldn't resist ordering some ice cream, too (strawberry chip for me and oreo cheesecake for him). The service is great - fast, friendly.

Parking is ample in the rear, with a couple of spots out front. They have a limited menu, but when you do something so well, that doesn't even matter! The chicken salad sandwich was the best I have ever had. Not overly creamy, just the right amount with plenty of flavor. The fresh greens and tomato in top was super fresh. The seeded buns were also top notch! I purchased two small steaks and cooked them up in the cast iron. It was undoubtedly the best steak I have ever had at home; it melted in my mouth! Just look at the marbling in the pictures. The meat at the store is some of the best quality I have seen and tasted.

Unfortunately, our experience didn't quite match up to the hype. She picked up the spaghetti and meatballs from the table, but there was no way to reheat it at the store. Not a big deal since they gave us extra sauce which was warm. As for me, I went with the chicken Caesar wrap and asked for the dressing on the side. The wrap was seriously lacking in flavor and contents, which was a real disappointment. On the plus side, the staff was very nice and friendly, but sadly, that wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster food. We won't be back.

The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is for 2 reasons . The fries are always little itty bitty broken greesy bits . Like they are giving you the bottom of the fryer - but they are always like this . The flavor would be good if it was a full fry and larger cut , but they use skinny fries that absorb too much grease and fall apart in the fryer . The 2nd reason for 4 stars is they do not know how to cook a soft shell crab. These people know Italian and how to put seafood in pasta , but they don't know Baltimore style seafood at all . I ordered a soft shell sandwich as a special and it was the worst soft shell I have ever attempted to eat. The saddest thing is I could tell they started with a good size heavy soft shell crab. But then they proceeded to ruin it by dipping it in some horrible thick doughy hush puppy batter and flash deep frying it ! Absolute crying shame what they did to that poor crab . I couldn't even eat it - it was this gargantuan hush puppy of fried batter dough on a little flimsy hamburger bun . It was such a mess and falling apart , I abandoned trying to eat it as a sandwich and went in with knife and fork . . When I peeled away the disgusting peppery batter so I could hopefully find the soft crab down in there somewhere - I still. couldn't eat it because the shell was so tough I couldn't even chew and swallow it . This is because it is deep fried at too high a temp and too fast for the poor crab buried in the huge dough ball to have time to cook properly. When a soft shell isn't cooked at low heat for a long time , it doesnt develop its flavor , the shell doesn't get crisp and papery . You might as well eat it raw .. to rub salt in the wound , they put it on a bun instead of just white bread and slathered it in aioli !! Gah ! Don't go trying to put an Italian sauce on a Baltimore dish !! Stay in your lane with the Italian food .. it doesn't belong on a soft shell crab. Neither does any kind of batter ! The ONLY way to cook a soft shell crab is sautéed LOW and SLOW naked in just butter on a cast iron until the shell is flakey crisp . Maybe just a light toss in plain flour if you have to cuz that's the way your momma did it , but no flour is better . Flour holds the grease flavor and takes away from the delicate flavor of the crab . It should only be served on plain untoasted white bread . White bread is best because it is flavorless - you don't want Italian bread or a roll or bun , because they have some flavor and you don't want anything , even the flavor of bread competing with the delicate crab flavor . Tomato and lettuce and mayo or tartar should be served on the side because again , not everyone wants those competing with the crab flavor. Honestly , what was done to this crab should be illegal in Maryland . The dough coating was inedible because the flavor of it was so bad and so full of greese . . So disappointing. If you need an example of a decent soft crab , order one at Pappas. Even though they toss in a little flour , they still sautee it correctly . And serve it correctly . I hope the Brookside owners read this and learn from it , because I do like the rest of their menu . From now on , I will remember where I am and stick to the caprese sub and prisciutto and mozzarella sub and save the Baltimore delicacies for places where I know it will be done right .
