    Smoked Pastrami Reuben
    Katie C.

    A sandwich sounded really good for lunch and this spot was it, it was packed and I understand why. Beware of street parking, we did have to circle around the block twice on a Friday afternoon but it was worth it. Pastrami Reuben -ratio of pastrami to sauerkraut was perfection. Pickled onions tied everything together, soo good! Only down side to my sandwich was the pastrami was pretty fibrous/stringy but it was only a couple of pieces which didn't upset me too much. Tom's Way -pretty wet sandwich but everything paired well. Flavorful and filling but doesn't leave you feeling heavy. Spicy Gabagool -the sauce they use is chef's kiss. Not so much spicy but more of a season spiced. Really wanted to try their Lemon Crumb Bars but the girl ahead of me grabbed the last one. Just an excuse to come back for more sandwiches hahhaha. Opted for a Pecan Pie Bar instead; a bit more elevated than a regular pecan bar, crispy pecan added just the right amount of texture. Loved the caramel flavor but slightly too sweet for my liking.

    Finally I came to Uptown Provisons!! Tiny hole in the wall sandwich spot. Parking may be a problem, I came on a Sunday, so we parked at the Bank of America parking lot and strolled on over. The line gets long but moves very quickly. Drinks are in a a fridge to your right with different sodas you can choose from while you wait to order. Theres also a little market in there. We decided to eat on the tables outside on the sidewalk and people watch. We did notice lots of either phone or online orders. People came and parked right on the street, put the emergency lights on and went right in and out with their bag of sandwiches. The Gabagool was the best from the sandwiches we ordered, then came the popular Egg Salad sandwich, finally my Meatball sandwich. This one is huge!! I ate 1/3 of this massive deliciousness and saved the rest for my hubby. Coffee lovers: There is cute coffee shop next door for dessert ;) They close early, at 1400! So you better show up on time for that sandwich! Thank you for reading!

    Turkey Sandwich Turkey Sandwich with avocado! Yummy. Had it a day old and still good
    Anna T.

    We've been having coworker lunch gatherings and I was able to try this turkey sandwich! Since I knew it was going to be a day old before I was able to eat this sandwich I picked a safe choice. Now I'm hooked! I tried their turkey sandwich with avocado and it was yummy. The bread was amazing I can't imagine when it's fresh! This is a loaded sandwich. I only finished half and the second half for later. The packaging is also so adorable! I definitely wanna come back to try their other sandwiches fresh! They're also known for their egg sandos??! I must try it all!

    .., before the unwrapping of my "Tom's Way".

    .., meet Whittier's Uptown hero! My experience here was from 6/26/26 & it did not disappoint. Though I've been to Uptown Provisions twice before to support my friend Andrew M, as well as my other friend Andrew P. with Satori Coffee Project, this was my actual visit where I finally ate! Third times the charm! Tucked nicely into a Penn St. neighborhood, Uptown Provisions can easily be spotted by the loyal patrons waiting/dining outside. May the street parking gods be kind to you as they always provide me with a spot nearby. Knowing what I already wanted from doing my menu homework the night prior, I was practically drooling on my way in. Greeted by a great staff & friendly fellow patrons, I felt right at home. I went with the "Tom's Way" sandwich. Dedicated to one of their favorite customers, it's a crossover between an egg sandwich & a pastrami. It was perfect! Chef Aaron describes his sandos as the perfect West Coast sandwich, & that I can totally agree with. Tom's Way provided me with a robust sandwich blend that never knew I needed until now. Each component's flavor profile blended together nicely. I'm usually hit or miss with rye bread, but this rye hit the mark & held the ship together. The eggs were made with care & prepared in a way I've never tasted before, very delicious. Pastrami was tender, pickled onions provided the bitter tangy component while the broccoli slaw became the soothing blanket that nestled every flavor together. I absolutely loved my sandwich. They post a 20 minute wait time but I got mine in 15. Great things come to those who wait. They do not have a public bathroom so plan your visit accordingly. They have a few counter seats inside with plenty more outdoor seating in front with friendly locals chatting it up. Don't be shy with the napkins. Thank you Uptown Provisions for a great experience, I shall return!

    Spicy Gabagool Sandwich
    Clarisse T.

    finally tried this place on the way down to OC! spicy garbagool left me longing for sure! egg sandwich was kinda mid tbh but also expected it - prolly should have tried the toms way version! prime rib and brisket was good also but not as good as left over. i would def come back and try other sandwiches thoooo!

    I'm not a sandwich person, but Uptown Provisions sandwiches are life changing! The Prime Rib and BBQ Brisket sandwich are amazing. The staff here are wonderful.

    Spicy Gabagool Sandwhich
    Ashley M.

    Let's just say I dream about this sandwhich place at least 1x a week, specifically the Spicy Gabagool! It's packed with so much juicy flavor from the cheese, pickled onion, and pepperoncin. It has the perfect kick (spice) to it, each bite you take is so mouthwatering! It goes perfectly paired with a bag of chips which they offer a good variety of. I like that they also offer a large variety of drinks, they carry Olipop sodas which are one of my favs. This place does get busy but none the less their service is expeditious! Parking can get a little tricky on a busy day but the times I've gone I've always seemed to be lucky enough to find parking right away (: I really enjoy that while you wait for your food there is this cute cafe right next door to the right where you can order yourself a pastry, latte or matcha(:

    Gabagool
    Kim R.

    We were very impressed with Uptown provisions. Ordering was simple and easy. We were overwhelmed walking in on a sunday with the amount of people waiting, mostly for to go orders. They had a board with an estimated wait time which was really helpful! Everyone was Running like a well oiled machine. We ordered some of the recommendations we saw on yelp and instagram. The prime rib brisket sandwich and the spicy gabagool. Both were delicious layered eith ingredients and made with care. The brisket was a bit onnthe dry side which was a bit disappointing but still very flavorful considering. The gabagool was my favorite. It was the right amount of heat, crunch and juiciness. We got a few sodas and tried the bacon grease potato chips. The chips were not worth the 8.50 but worth a try. They have a pretty good amount of seating on the sidewalk alwith umbrellas along with a few spots to sit inside. They called your number when your order was ready which was nice so you could sit outside and relax while you waited.

    turkey blt special
    Trung N.

    I love a good sandwich and the ones at Uptown Provisions are absolute fire. We ordered two: -egg salad ($16): egg salad with Japanese mayo, sambal chili aioli, tomato, avocado, pickled red onion, pepperoncinis, everything bagel seasoning, served on thick toasted brioche bun -turkey blt special I've never had a dressed up egg salad sandwich before, and to be honest, I don't think I'll never not want tomato, avocado and lettuce with my egg salad again - it kept the sandwich tasting fresh. The sambal chili aioli was a sleeper - it packed in a ton of unexpected spice. Deliciously unexpected. The thick toasted brioche bun also added a layer of sweetness. We ordered the turkey BLT because it was a special. It was, of course, delish, but I should have kept to the tried and trues. I'll definitely be back. Also PSA and order your sandwiches for pickup. We waited for quite a bit in the heat even though we visited at an off hour (on a Sunday). Also, there's a nearby park closer to Uptown you can enjoy your sandwiches.

    Neighborhood deli. The Italian-ish sandwich was off the hook. Delicious. Quick, deliberate, warm service. Plenty of choices and all that came out of the kitchen looked delectable. They sell olives, cheeses, local ice cream and plenty of other delightful items. Clean and organized. No public bathroom. Go here.

    Prime Rib and BBQ Brisket Sandwich
    Ivan Lawrence A.

    Food Been hearing about this place for a while and it's near my workplace, so I decided to finally give it a try and I gotta say, it was love at first bite. I got the prime rib and bbq brisket sandwich, and it was a really huge sandwich but I enjoyed every bite into it. The actual meat of the sandwich was tender and flavorful and was perfectly contrasted by the slaw so that you don't get tired of it after one bite. Each bite was a perfect contrast of the rich meats, with just the right amount of acidity coming from the slaw and a nice and sweet roasted onion jam, would definitely recommend this and would look forward to trying their other sandwiches. Service/Ambiance Thankfully, I heard how packed this place can get during lunch time, so I placed a pickup order ahead of time, so I just came in and got my sandwich. While I was there, I did see there was a lot of people waiting so prepare for that if you don't place a pickup order. There wasn't much seating inside the restaurant itself but there were a few tables outside the restaurant

    Chopped Cheese
    Dante Y.

    Been to Uptown provisions many time great sandwiches, the atmosphere and crew is always great and so welcoming. I stopped by earlier this week and had to get their seasonal special. They got going on right now. They're chopped cheese. It's just a phenomenal sandwich overall definitely will be back.

    My friends and I came on a Sunday for lunch and it was packed! We parked on the street around the corner. I highly recommend ordering online as the wait was 40-hour. There are a few tables outside but they were all taken. I got the Tom's way egg salad sandwich. I was so excited to try it since it looks so good online. When we got our order I was impressed. All our sandwiches were wrapped so nice and neatly with pretty wrapping. The sandwich itself was delicious and was enough for 2 meals. It is messy so grab a lot of napkins! I will definitely stop by again.

    I absolutely love this Vallarta Supermarket in Whittier!…read more Whenever I go, I find everything I need, and I always come across great deals, too. The produce is super fresh and has a huge variety, just like the meat, cheese, and chicken--all top quality. I love that they have a special section with a wide selection of Mexican sweets, and the bakery is amazing with a huge assortment of sweet bread, bolillos, and cakes for any event. Plus, they prepare ready-to-eat food like rice, carne con chili, various dishes, hot tamales, and a variety of aguas frescas. You can find most of the products you'd find in Mexico in the aisles, making it a great store if you're looking to feel at home. They even have a seating area with tables if you'd like to eat there. And best of all, the staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!" Thank you very much

Lunchtime is obviously one of their busiest times, so you would expect the food area to move much faster -- especially when most of the food already looks premade and ready to go. There was only one person helping customers while several other employees were standing behind the counter. Management really needs to improve efficiency and customer service during rush hours. People come here on limited lunch breaks expecting fast and convenient service, but unfortunately that wasn't the experience today. The food is good, but the long wait and lack of urgency made the visit frustrating.

Unfortunately, that experience has completely changed. Every single time I come in now, the only thing open is self-checkout. If I wanted to scan and bag all my own groceries, I could go to Food 4 Less or ALDI and save money while doing it myself. The whole reason many of us shop here is because we expect better service. It's incredibly frustrating to spend premium grocery prices and still have to do the work ourselves. On top of that, bagging groceries properly actually matters -- especially when buying produce, eggs, meat, or fragile items. Employees who are trained to bag groceries make a difference, and it's disappointing that customer service seems to be disappearing completely. I understand stores are trying to cut costs, but eliminating staffed checkout lanes is hurting the customer experience. Long-time customers notice the difference, and it honestly makes me question why I should continue shopping here instead of going somewhere cheaper. I really hope management starts valuing customer service again and keeps actual checkout lanes open consistently.

I'm always shopping for cheese, so it's hard not to notice that the deli is a hit-or-miss depending on what time of day you're shopping. In the morning, there seems to be a few employees with good hustle -- and still manage to stay perky and pleasant. They really take "whistle while you work" quite literally. One young man really shows off his vast knowledge of meat and additives when he's available, and he never fails to asks if I need help finding anything. I see him doing the same for others as well, and I appreciate his good energy. In the afternoon, some days are better than others, but the employees are more often a sad sight, and management is clearly lacking. I usually come in the afternoon, and there's often this unkempt Latina lady at the counter who's pretty rude to waiting customers, throws objects, and picks up items she drops onto the floor before touching the food she's preparing. I sometimes like a sandwich because the $4.99 price is a steal in this day and age -- but never when she's working. Her supervisor seems more concerned with talking trash about her coworkers while giving customers the evil eye, and less concerned with running her team. That said, I assume with this management, little is bound to change. If you're not going to fire these people, then maybe consider making them shopping cart attendants or something instead? This company seems to have peaked during the first 2 quarters of 2025, and I don't think it's going to be synonymous with quality. Sad sight... but good cheese! For your next charcuterie board, I recommend getting the rolled LaClare blueberry vanilla goat cheese and topping it with some blueberry preserves and any of the sweetest blueberries they have in stock. The produce is wonderful as well.

The next day I returned to the store, and to their credit, they were kind and replaced it without any issues. However, when I opened the replacement container the following day, it also tasted expired. What concerns me the most is that neither container had an expiration date or any "best by" date. For a fresh, prepared food like guacamole, that's a serious food safety concern. There's no way for customers to know how long it has been sitting or whether it's still safe to eat. I appreciate that the employees replaced the product, but receiving a second spoiled container makes me worry that this may be a larger issue. I would strongly recommend avoiding the prepared guacamole and salsas until proper date labeling and quality control are in place. Food safety should always come first.

My review is mainly for the deli counter, as well as the main check out in front. They have one or two strong cashiers, otherwise always expect a long line. For the deli, you'd be lucky to be acknowledged within a decent time frame because they ignore the counter. Where to begin with deli counter. They don't have a real ticketing system. I placed a pick up order for the weekend for chicken and wedges the week before. My order got written on a torn piece of paper, begrudgingly. On my pick up date, I waited over 1.5 hours, they said another persons order receipt/ticket was lost and they were unprepared to fulfill all the other orders because hers was a large order. Not surprising since their ordering system is so unorganized. I should've got my order comped for the inconvenience, but the management was less than helpful. Not necessarily blaming the deli staff because they seem severely short handed every time I go in. It's a shame because my family and I love the chicken, but I have already told my family to stop ordering from there for parties. We can support elsewhere.
