Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.

Elaine's is the kind of sandwich shop that makes you question every sad lunch you've ever had. Why…read moredid I ever trust that gas station wrap? Why did I think I could make a sandwich at home like a fool? This place is a glorious tribute to what a sandwich should be--stacked, saucy, unapologetically messy, and made with love (and probably a little witchcraft). The bread alone deserves its own standing ovation. The vibe? Retro-diner-meets-your-cool-aunt's-kitchen. The kind of spot where you half expect someone to slide into the booth next to you and spill small-town secrets over a pickle spear. Elaine's isn't just a sandwich shop. It's a portal to happiness, tucked between antique stores and dreams. Go hungry, leave full, and don't wear white--these sandwiches come with personality and sauce.

Plus, farm-to-table produce means you can safely get a salad here even when regular lettuce is apparently giving everyone diarrhea.

I had already decided on going with Turkey, again but when I went to the counter to order they were out of the turkey. The staff manning the counter suggested the Roast Beef. I was skeptical as I have my favorite roast beef sandwiches, but I went with it. They are super friendly here and everything is so fresh! I had to go with their suggestion. I added on a peach scone. Took a seat at the counter by the window, grabbed a glass of water from the dispenser and read me book and watched the people till my sandwich was ready. All the sandwiches come on their house made focaccia and it is very good! Roast beef, romesco, pickled radish, aioli, and greens. It was a delicious sandwich, I loved the pickled radish and the whole sandwich had great flavor and freshness that you could taste - just like everything I have had here. I ate half and saved half for lunch the next day. I like scones as they are a nice dough but not overly sweet. This one had great texture and crumb.

You can tell they genuinely care about the food they serve and the experience they provide. The sandwiches are incredible, the service is excellent, and the quality never changes. If you're looking for a great sandwich in St. Louis, Mom's Deli should be at the top of your list. I've eaten a lot of sandwiches over the years, and Mom's Deli is still my favorite.
