Portions are good, sides are worth it, and it's just an easy, casual spot you can keep in your rotation Perfect for a quick lunch, casual date, or just when you want something that actually hits Raleigh Durham they did their thing with this one

We stopped in the day after Christmas, they were pretty busy but we didn't wait long for a table. I ordered the Reuben with pastrami. Hubby ordered the Italian submarine. We shared the burnt ends potato salad. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. My Reuben was meaty and cheesy served up on the delicious rye bread. Hubby's Italian submarine was huge - no shortage of deli meat, crisp veggies with a good amount of tangy Italian dressing. The burnt ends potato salad was very unique, flavorful and had a nice texture. Ish was a great lunch spot and we would definitely be back!

Looking forward to working through more of the menu, but this is already one of the best deli options in Raleigh.

I ordered a build your own bagel with egg whites, bacon, and American cheese. I also added a side of breakfast potatoes that was served with peppers and onions. The bagel was pretty good. It was definitely more of a New York style than Bruegger's. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and flavorful. The bagel was a little bit soft and could've been more toasted, but still very good. I would surely order from here again and glad I found it. Looking forward to trying some other menu options!

I've been hearing about this darn bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll for a while and been wondering how good could it be but after trying it here, I must try one in NY Reuben was sooooo good too! Sauerkraut + Russian dressing combo was insane. I loved this so much! I will most likely get this one 90% time that I go here! My husband looooves chicken parm and I'm usually not the biggest fan because of the way other places cook the chicken but I really liked it here! Chicken was suuuper crispy and didn't get soggy.
