The inside alone is worth the trip. Europa Food Market is the kind of place where the shelves are…read moreloaded with enough product to feel like a real store -- food from around the world, pristine and organized -- but not so much that you feel like you're navigating a Sam's Club. It's curated without being precious. I came for lunch and got a pastrami sandwich that I'm still thinking about. Thick like a textbook, moist, flavorful. I don't think I've ever actually had real pastrami until that sandwich. My only real critique is the location. It sits along Broad Street near Willow Lawn and it's one of those places you drive past a dozen times without ever stopping. Slightly hard to access, easy to overlook. That's a shame because this isn't a casual grab-and-go -- it's a destination, even if the vibe is completely unpretentious. A friend suggested it and it made my day. The Greek radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s covers of songs I grew up with didn't hurt either. Next time I'm not trying to make just one meal of it.

He had the lox on an egg everything bagel, and he was hyped about how good it was. We also tried the German imported coffee, and it was really lovely. At $3, it was a great complement too. We also both imbibed in mixed berry beignets and I needed to stop myself from buying more! The shop is small but has a great range of products to peruse at good prices.

Both good, although I wish there was a little more meat on each (especially the turkey one). Sometimes I'm sketched out with mayo on a sandwich but it turned out really good on the smoked turkey because it's a hot sub so the mayo melted a little bit. Staff was super friendly, especially Jeff, and there was way more seating than we expected. Love the outside tables too so pups can join.

This place was pretty hyped up and I was not impressed. Their food was alright. Nothing bad per se. But could definitely be better for the price of $15 each. The 'fresh' food in the fridge and baked goods in the cabinet definitely did not look fresh by any means. There were flies on the baked goods; the veggies looked very dark in the fridge. I understand that they can be busy- but i wouldn't pay $4+ for any sort of food with bad veggies or flies on it.

No signage, not detailed on the menu, just an ambush once you've placed your order. It's a bs fee to begin with, but concealing it until the last minute is unethical. I'm guessing it will catch up with y'all as these sorts of sketchy business practices often do.

We were surprised by the size of the restaurant when we walked in. It seems smaller from the outside; not that it was huge, just deceiving. It reminded me of a homey Jason's Deli (IYKYK). The woman at the counter was helpful and kind. We had a few questions about some items on the menu, and she asked the kitchen staff anything that she didn't know offhand. We decided on the fried cauliflower for an appetizer; it was monstrously huge, and much more flavorful than I expected. The spices and textures on the plate added a lot to the dish's overall essence. I ordered the Rachel for an entree, and my partner ordered the Sharona. I subbed the chips for a side salad. The salad was tangy or tart, almost bitter. I didn't mind; I thought it was quite good. It is a lot of acidity if you are not expecting it. The Rachel was fantastic, except that the coleslaw had some onion bits mixed in. We are not onion fans in this household. Ha The Sharona would have been a better choice, as I much prefer pickles to oniony coleslaw. My partner said she really liked hers. We had half a sandwich each for leftovers the next day, and shared the leftover chips, since I finished off my salad the night before. The sandwiches heated up exquisitely in the oven at 325°F for 15 minutes. I felt that Susie's is a definite hidden gem, and I can recommend it to anyone who likes a well-made sandwich. I will be back to sample more of the menu and report back my findings at a future date.
