Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

I stopped in with coworkers today and it was wonderful. I sat and tried to pick the perfect sandwich, but when I got up to order, I couldn't make up my mind. Well, they were kind enough to "surprise me." Yes, that's an option! My sandwich was spicy, sweet, saucy and delicious. My four "must haves" when it comes to a sandwich. I love to overindulge on a good sub. The people that worked here were awesome and super friendly! The customers were even kind and friendly to one another. I highly suggest trying this place SOON! **my one caveat is that it is a bit pricey, but my coworkers and I all agreed, it's well worth the money!!**

I found some spicy truffle chips I hadn't tried before. Ordered my usual, the hot pastrami on rye with deli mustard. Yum! The wait is never very long with 3 people or 20 people in line; they have lots of people behind the counter. Once your order is ready, you step to the register to pay and you on your way.

After we ordered coffee, they looked at us and told us it would be 5-10 minutes. They had no milk and were out of creamer. Again, authentic to the community - you should order black coffee here & not past 8:30z As we sat & I realized, I leaned in and said, did you realize it's almost 11:00? Honestly, neither of us realized until after we sat down that the breakfast rush was long over and they were essentially brewing a pot just for us. They were very nice & accommodated but, boy did I feel bad once it dawned on me. Enjoyed both our bagel & knish.

SOLID spot to grab some lunch in Clayton. I've been here twice now since my initial visit, and it…read morewas delicious both times. It's counter service, you order, and they bring your items out to you. It has a cozy, provision vibe and it's definitely high on quality. I ordered a salad my first visit, and it was great! I got the chopped, which is mt favorite when I'm dining in at Pastaria. I added chicken for protein and it hit the spot. My second visit I got the viral kale chicken Caesar and it was so good! I understand the hype. They're only open lunch hours so check em out.

The bottom line: Nothing special for the price…read more * Food: Sandwiches are overloaded with spices that overpower the ingredients. * Drinks: Canned soda feels underwhelming at these prices. * Value: Outrageous pricing without a memorable experience. Verdict: Clayton prices without the Clayton-level experience. Not worth the hype.

Everything I ate was wonderful! Dare I say it's the best chicken sandwich in STL…read more... The hot chicken sandwich was not only incredibly thick and juicy, but the crust was crispy without being overwhelming or too much breading. I loved the spicy sauce that was used to make it hot chicken and somehow it didn't make the sandwich soggy at all. The slaw was more of a vinegar base, so it didn't weight it down with a heavy creamy flavor. Also the pickles were heavenly and I want to eat them on EVERYTHING. Moving onto the handcut, double fried fries. They were crispy and such a delight to see on a food truck, as far too often you get sad, pre-frozen fries. These were phenomenal and we ate every single one of them! You can practically taste the quality through the photos, they're everything and more than you'd imagine. I can't wait to try more things ASAP!

Red Dirt came out to our subdivision a few weeks ago which was a nice treat for a Sunday afternoon…read more The girls working the truck were really friendly and after we placed our order it took less than 10 minutes for us to receive it. The fries are what I would go back for since they were really the best part of the meal. The chicken sandwich was just okay for me. I think the flavor was lacking, but the chicken was moist and the breading was crunchy; I just wish it had a little more flavor. My husband had the Nashville hot chicken and said that it was just not as hot as he had hoped. This is a good option for a food truck and I would go back to order again in hopes that the flavor would be better next time!

Freshly prepared, perfect balance of spices, etc and I always feel welcomed to the clean dining room though they seem to do a lot of take out too. The kabob as a sandwich said it came with fries and I cannot skip these fries when I come here. They are so good! The kabob was the perfect portion, wrapped with some onions and maybe other things in a pita. I enjoy the middle eastern music that typically plays in the restaurant. Because the place is rarely crowded it never feels loud. The folks who work here are friendly and genuinely want to know how the meal is, if you need anything. You see/hear this more when you are there between the busiest hours.... Today lunch for me was 2 pm so you get what I mean. Try it out and if you aren't sure what to try, ask the people working the counter. I already have suggestions for my next visit!

The pros: -The variety of sauces were delicious -The brisket was moist and had food flavor -The Mac and cheese had fantastic flavor -The plate was served with pickles and onions, which I haven't seen since I left the south -Great value! The cons: -the pulled pork was dry -The Mac and cheese was super saucy -not a big variety What I sampled was delicious, and I'll keep up with the Southerner to try more food (I have my eye on the chicken and waffles on a stick).

Walking through the office today I caught the smell of delicious smoked goodness and instantly wanted some for myself. I can't tell you how happy I was to find that the aroma that caused me to lose track of my engineering responsibilities was located directly outside the front door to the building. This was my 2nd time to get a mouth watering BBQ sandwich from The Southerner. The folks running the truck are always more than helpful and provide a meal that's a good value proposition. Quality, quantity and price seem to be well balanced. Albeit a tad bit on the expensive side. Look to spend about $12 for a sandwich and side. The turkey, brisket and sausage are all great. The brisket is pulled not sliced or chopped. It makes for a great tasting sandwich that doesn't need much sauce at all. Although the sauce is pretty darn good they get 5 stars for not needing it.
