Spicy gabagool
Tiffany W.

I've been putting off trying this spot for so long, but finally was able to try it the other day, but why was this the best sandwich I've had in a while?? I've tried their curry chicken, spicy gabagool, smoked pastrami, and the prime rib. All of them were solid and HEFTY. But i think my favorite is the spicy ganagool because I'm a sucker for arugula and it was just so flavorful! One sandwich is cut into 2 big halves, perfect to split with someone or save for another meal. I also like their yerba choices, super subtle but hits the spot!

My daughter recommended Uptown Provisions for lunch today (7-30-26) and I must say that I was impressed! I ordered a pastrami sandwich and she ordered an Italian sandwich, and we both liked what we ordered. My sandwich had lots of pastrami, great flavoring, and lots of spicy tastes! It wasn't dry nor was it oily! I have had plain Jane pastrami sandwiches before, so I was happy to get a good tasting pastrami full of meat, flavor, and spice! I would definitely order from them again! The pick-up/take out service was excellent as my daughter ordered and paid for the food before getting there. She said it's more of a take out spot as there wasn't much room to sit down.

Got the Uptown Club. A tasty sandwich with a lot going on. You got the creaminess from the avocado, the saltiness from the bacon and the sweetness probably from the onion jam. I went on a Saturday around 13:00. The gentleman behind the counter told me that Saturday tends to be busy. It took about an 1/2 hour to get my sandwich. Service was friendly. Dining is available both inside and outside. Parking is available along the street. For this particular day, I found a space several blocks up.

The Uptown club

Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I'll be honest, when my husband suggested we drive 39 minutes for sandwiches, I was initially like... are we really doing this? But by the time we were leaving Uptown provisions, all I could think about was how incredibly worth the drive it was! From the moment we walked in, I loved the vibe. The space is so cool, and everyone was super welcoming. We watched a steady stream of locals come in to grab food they ordered online. You can also grab your drinks and chips from the fridge and shelves before ordering your sandwich. I ordered Tom's Way Egg Sandwich, and as someone who LOVES egg sandwiches and pastrami, I couldn't believe I'd never thought to put the two together! It comes with cheese, pickled onions, and this delicious orange sauce that isn't even mentioned in the description. The combination was SO good. I was honestly shocked by how much I loved it and would absolutely order it again and again. So glad I took a chance on something a little different! My husband got the Uptown and said the smoked turkey was so bomb. He doesn't usually even like avocado, but he was absolutely chomping away at this sandwich So I'd say that's a pretty solid endorsement! We also tried the Mela watermelon water, which was SO light, refreshing, and delicious. Definitely keeping an eye out for those cans now! Whittier is lucky to have this little gem. It seems like the locals know what's up because there was a constant flow of people coming in who clearly love this place. We got lucky with parking. We will absolutely be back again and again, and next time, I won't be questioning the 39 minute drive.

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!

.., 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!

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.

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.

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

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(:

Everything about this place is amazing! The store is great. The deserts are great and as my kid…read morewould say, the sandwiches are "da bomb". The wait can be long. Insider tip from someone who orders once to twice a month, call in your order! I've waited 45 mins in the past, which it was worth it but much nicer to call ahead and run in and out in 5 mins.

Honestly, I don't know what the hype is. I saw a YouTube video saying this place served good…read moresandwiches. Man were they wrong. First off, I came in for two pastrami sandwiches which they promptly came out to me and said they didn't have any more pastrami. The lady was nice and said she would upgrade me to a different type of pastrami that actually cost more. Well whatever this crap was it didn't taste like pastrami at all. I got one soft bread and one crispy bread and the crispy bread could've chipped a tooth on a normal mouth so thank God I've got implants. Both sandwiches were painfully boring and I wish I had something good to say. I'm not sure what was put in my wife's sandwich either when she got explosive diarrhea less than 10 minutes after eating her sandwich? The cold cuts tasted off and I wanna say that they were rotten because I've been burping it all day. Something positive? I guess the store looked nice on the inside? Anyhow, without a doubt I will not be back because if Subway can make a better sandwich than you guys you're in trouble. And subway sucks by the way. Claro's... nah More like stay "Clearo" of this place.
