Your Only Friend was recommended to me by an Albany friend who had visited several cocktail bars in…read moreDC, and this was his most recent add to his favorites list. I enjoyed the vibe here. For some places, a casual, informal, atmosphere works best, and this would be one of those places. When we arrived, there were no available tables or seats at the bar, but within a minute of arriving, someone came over to us and said a few customers at the bar would be leaving in about a minute. Since we wanted to sit at the bar, that was fine, and we were in fact seated a minute later. The cocktails were indeed interesting and tasty and lived up to expectations. We enjoyed conversing with several of the staff, especially our bartender, Walter. The food looked good too, though we had eaten earlier and ordered no food here. We would have ordered another round, but we had driven in. But if you prefer, it's very convenient to a nearby Metro stop.

After thoroughly enjoying the Stachowski's legendary grinder sub a few times, I took a chance on…read moretheir so-called pastrami sandwich yesterday. As a lifelong fan of classic NY deli (ie Katz's) I had long heard of Stachowski's facsimile. In short, it was a thorough disappointment. Taste-wise, the sandwich tasted as if someone had made corned beef in error, then, realized their mistake and threw pastrami seasoning on it and threw it in a smoker at the last minute. It was tough, chewy, and basically inedible. If you've got a hankering for NYC pastrami, you're better served heading up to Katz's. It's worth the trip.

I have been here over 3 dozen times atleast. I always grab a sandwich and have venture into their homemade pizza dough, pasta sauces, baked goods and more. I've never had anything bad here over several years. They have an online ordering service which makes pick up a lot more easier. Sometimes when it's busy you can expect to wait 20-30 mins on your sandwich, so i usually order in advance. Parking can be touch and go sometimes but there's a free parking garage (up to 3 hours) around the corner.

A little disappointing when the bread is a 5$ up charge and I didn't want chips. So I paid $20 for a salad. Ended up good I accepted the chips because they forgot them as a topping. In the future I will ask them to check for gluten free bread before paying. I appreciate their attention to gluten allergies generally and hope this is an abnormal experience.

All these flavors combined work so perfectly to make such a heavenly sub that's perfect for eating while watching a sports game! Don't like turkey? Not a problem they have It's a BOI which is basically a Crunchy Boi but you pick your meat if choice.

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.

I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!

I think what has discouraged me from visiting is the overall lack of cleanliness that I've noticed recently. It just seems like the tables and booths haven't been cleaned, there's trash in some places. The food is still good for the most part but the ambiance doesn't match what's going on food-wise. It's kind of a turn off and makes me want to solely take my food to go from now on. I feel like this is a busy location and wish they'd put a little more TLC into it.

If you are a truffle lover, this one is for you! The truffle honey hits you on your first bite with a burst of flavor, then it is balanced out by the remainder of the sandwich (and continued love affair with the foccacia).

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!
