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. read more

I really wanted to love this place after reading all the reviews, but I thought the sandwich was just okay for the wait time and price. Keep in mind I ordered around 12:50pm and the sandwich was ready at 1:45pm. I ordered the Spicy Gabagool Sandwich, and there were barely any mixed greens as compared to other reviews & the menu photo (I love my veggies)! The meats were yummy, but they did not stand out to me/didn't taste anything special. Unfortunately, the same goes for the bread. However, I did like the packaging of the sandwich and everything in the sandwich tasted well together; the chile spread, burrata, hot honey, pickled onions, meats.. the spice level is definitely tolerable; I didn't need water at all. It was more of a small kick. I also tried their lemon crumb bar and it was very delicious! If anything I would come again to try more of their unique baked goods. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of the shop. It is quite small and there are many people waiting for their order inside. There is only outdoor seating, which is scarce. read more

This place lives up to the hype. I've had a few of their sandwiches and they've all been great. The Tom's Way is thick cut pastrami and egg salad combined. It feels like the best of both worlds. But my absolute favorite is the Spicy Gabagool. It's is balanced perfection. Sweet, spicy, creamy, salty, just all the flavors you could want. All the sandwiches are served on freshly made bread thanks to Hey Brother, and take the sandwiches up to the next level. Being that this place is popular, it's definitely a good idea to order online and take it to go. There are a few tables out front but they fill up quickly, and you're just kind of eating at a table on the sidewalk. But it's worth it. read more

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 read more

I added hot honey to the market veggie sandwich and it was good! It's not spicy and adds just a hint of sweetness. There was a quite a wait after we ordered, but it was worth the wait. The lobby is pretty fresh and there's a seating area both inside and outside. They offer their own merch and sell high quality items such as olive oil, packed sardines, chili oil, and more. The wrapping paper for the sandwiches is super cute! read more

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. read more

$21+ and 45 mins for a sandwich, definitely thought the quality would be top notch. Unfortunately it wasn't, was given a bad piece of lettuce. If they didn't care to pay attention to the lettuce, I question the quality of the other ingredients. The bread scratches the roof of your mouth and the sandwich was so hard to bite and fit into your mouth. It was actually pretty dry, needed more sauce. Cookie brownie was good though. read more

I learned about this establishment from my son, who had been raving about their sandwiches. We ordered a sandwich called Tom's Way, which we had seen featured on Vic and Jeff's YouTube channel. It was exceptional. The sandwich consisted of a combination of egg salad, pastrami, and coleslaw. The flavors were well balanced, and the toasted bread was terrific. One of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. We intend to return and sample some of their other sandwich offerings. Their chocolate chip couple was also delicious and highly recommended. Fve enthusiastic stars. read more

Uptown Provisions has been on my radar for quite a bit, as it's pretty hard to find a really good sandwich spot that isn't in actual Los Angeles or West LA. A lot of good options on the menu, but I decided on my maiden visit here that I would get the Prime Rib and BBQ Brisket sandwich. This sandwich is pretty damn good! Loaded with a lot of meat and fresh vegetables. Was able to eat half for lunch and half for dinner since it was so massive! Worth the price IMO. Staff were friendly. I had made the smart decision to schedule a pickup, so all I did was come inside and picked it up. Good thing too, as the wait for sandwiches was already at 35-45 minutes at 11:30 am. Definitely became a fan of Uptown Provisions immediately! Will need to try some of the other sandwiches soon. read more

Located in Whittier, Uptown Provisions serves really amazing sandwiches. I went with the Spicy Gabagool, which is an italian sandwich served on crusty country bread, with savory meats, tangy balsamic glaze, sweet hot honey, and creamy burrata cheese. It's a perfectly balanced sandwich. I wanted to also order their pastrami, but it will have to wait for my next visit. Uptown Provisions sources their briskets and pastrami from RC provisions, the same supplier of the iconic pastrami at Langers. It doesn't mean that it's the same pastrami; however, I don't doubt that Uptown Provisions is able to get quality and reliability from their supplier. They also source really good ingredients that they offer for sale in their pantry. I bought a few cookies that they brought in from Cake Monkey bakeries. They sold frozen burritos from Burritos La Palma, Nancy Silverton's gelato brand, and high-quality oils and condiments. It's obvious that quality ingredients are the reason they have quality sandwiches. Uptown Provisions was worth the trek and, if I can make it back during their limited operating hours, then I will definitely try more of their stuff! read more

So glad I finally got the chance to try Uptown Provisions! It has been on my list for a little while since starting to work in Whittier. This sandwich shop is also a little market with select food items and drinks to buy. Inside there is some countertop space to sit and there is more seating outside, but better for small groups if dining there. We tried the spicy gabagool, prime rib & bbq brisket, and potato salad. Everything was so good! We also added a pickle on the side, for an extra $1. Both sandwiches were so delicious, I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu items. read more

Would you wait almost an hour for a sandwich? I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I wanted to see if the hype was for real. Could it equal, or better yet dethrone the DA Special at Eastside Market or the #19 at Langers? Well, it's a damn good sandwich. Definitely on par with my other favorites. I had the Spicy Gabagool and it was excellent. You can tell all of the ingredients are quality from the bread to the greens. The hot honey put it over the top. I also had a few bites of the Prime Rib and Brisket which was also excellent. My only gripe is that for a 16-18 dollar sandwich, it's pretty small. Definitely enough for a meal, but it's not a large sandwich. Will I go back? Sure, I live fairly close. But will I be a regular? Probably not. I followed the tips and ordered online at about noon. They gave me a pick up time of 1:15. Parking was not easy to find on a Saturday and I still had to wait 15 minutes after I arrived. People who didn't order ahead were told it would be 55 min. Honestly, if I wanted a sandwich I'd just go to the Board and Brew closer to my house. However, if I lived in Uptown, I'd go there all the time. I mean any eatery with a picture of Bourdain hanging on the wall is with my patronage. I'd definitely always order online though. 55 min is too long to wait for a sandwich. read more

Finally got to try Uptown Provisions and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Spicy Gabagool and Tuna Salad Sandwich. The Spicy Gabagool was a well balanced sandwich for me with just the right amount of heat. The Tuna Salad Sandwich was very tasty. Honestly all of their offerings seemed really good and I can't wait to go back and try the other ones. It is a small shop with some counter seating inside, and a few small tables outside. Highly recommend ordering in advance online as it gets packed. read more

I love this place -- it's exactly what Whittier needed. They're always busy, and for good reason. The sandwiches are ginormous, packed with flavor, and clearly made by a chef who knows how to build a sandwich. I've basically worked my way through the whole menu and honestly recommend them all. The Italian is a top favorite, along with the curry chicken. And don't skip the pesto pasta salad -- simple, classic, and somehow hits every single time. Beyond the sandwiches, they also have great treats and a ton of specialty artisan goods and drinks that make it hard to leave with just lunch. read more

So sad!!!!! I had really high expectations for this place and today I leave disappointed. The deli meats and fillings on the sandwiches were great! But house sourdough bread was so hard! We even asked what bread they recommend because it was our first time, the cashier didn't seem happy to answer our questions, giving us short yes or no answers. On top of waiting 30 min for 1 sandwich. $19 for a sandwich and chip is expected nowadays. But for that price I better have A1 sandwich. Not sure id come back but the meats are on point. Overall 6/10 for me read more

Holy smokes this was so good!! Firstly, Uptown Whittier has some great food spots. But if you're in the area, you'd be making a mistake not coming through Uptown Provisions. They check all the boxes for me: good, original flavors and takes on classics (egg salad for example). The staff is super friendly, they make you feel like you're showing up to your cousins house and hanging out. There's a very cool community vibe there. I ordered an egg salad sandwich, pickle pasta salad, donut cake, summer camp cookie, and a lemon bar. My wife and I tried it all and I have zero negative things to say. The sandwich is huge. Honestly we could have split the sandwich. Lol. There is a small counter seats inside but some tables outside. Probably not great for large parties if you're planning to eat there but great for picking up and taking home too. They had some cool merch on the side too. read more

Best tuna sandwich in the game, I am not from the area but stop by a few times a year and I have always ordered the same thing--tuna all day! Quality ingredients, a very hefty sandwich, absolutely worth the price. Crunchy veggies, seasoned tuna, not drenched in mayonnaise, amazing bread, I love the thinly sliced radishes. The tuna sandwich is truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It's memorable! Try the potato salad, it's full of flavor! I split a smoked pastrami with a friend one time, absolutely insane! This place has got a lot of buzz over the years and they deserve it. The spot is always pretty crowded, very little seating, cozy atmosphere. I recommend ordering ahead, saves you time and gives you some peace. All in all, quality offerings here, great service, and absolutely worth it! See you in a few months! read more

Lucky there wasn't a line when I arrived, but there were a lot of orders ahead of us. Ordered the BBQ brisket and prime rib sandwich. Didn't expect it to be cold since I've never personally had a cold BBQ sandwich. The slaw was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised how flavorful it was, probably one of the best slaws I've had. The bread is toasted nicely and has a nice crunch. The meat in the sandwich wasn't what I was expecting since it didn't really have BBQ flavor to it and I didn't get any fat that I typically get with brisket and prime rib and when it's cold, the fat turns hard if there is any. There was a nice portion of meat inside and was filling. I would get this again now that I know what to expect. Would try other sandwiches here as well. Parking is a bit tough to find since it's street parking. read more

I should note there is barely any sitting inside though so you have to eat outside and they only have bottled drinks. read more

I was craving a sandwich and was in the area, so I decided to try Uptown Provisions. I am not super familiar with this area but it looks like this location is in Whittier downtown? Parking was sort of hard to find on a Sunday on front of the restaurant but there are lots of parking around if you're ok with a little bit of a walk. The inside is smaller and cute and has some limited seating. I was able to order fairly quickly, but it did take quite a long time to get my sandwich since it was busy. I think you can order online also so I would do that next time to skip the wait. As for the sandwich, I got the egg salad and pastrami. I really liked the egg salad, it was seasoned perfectly, just so good. I wasn't the hugest fan of the pastrami, although it was pretty good, I thought the meat was a little dry. I am definitely going to come back here and definitely want to try other sandwiches (the Italian is calling my name). read more

I'd give uptown provisions a 3.5/5 I came here the last hour before closing on a Sunday afternoon. We tried the bbq brisket & pastrami sandwich. We waited about 55 minutes for two sandwiches. Honestly, the sandwiches were not bad however, they are not worth the hour long wait. The bbq brisket was good however lacked actual bbq flavor, the broccoli coleslaw over powered the meats taste. I personally still enjoyed the sandwich. The pastrami sandwich was a bit salty in my opinion. Would I come here again? Only if the wait time was shorter, but if you're curious to try it, check it out for yourself. read more

Garbagool? more like garbaDROOL!! The bread was a local toasted country bread which is a milder version of sourdough! The ratios were PERFECT and I loved the addition of the hot honey.

Either eat before you go or order online, because we waited an hour for our sandwiches on a Sunday afternoon. There were at least six or seven people behind the counter making food, so I'm not sure what the bottleneck is, but the system clearly isn't working. There's limited outdoor seating. Inside was chaotic -- super crowded with people standing around for their order to be called. That said, the Italian-ish was a surprise hit, even for someone who doesn't usually go for Italian sandwiches. The pastrami was also solid, with a thicker cut that reminded me of Katz in NYC. However, the egg salad was an oddly bland letdown. My biggest gripe, though, is the sandwich construction. The majority of the fillings are stacked dead center, leaving the edges more bready and the middle so overstuffed I felt like I had to unhinge my jaw to get a bite. Great ingredients, but a frustrating structure. read more

Had to run this place back because the sandwich I had the 1st time was so fire. I love Pastrami, so I wanted to come back for the Pastrami sandwich. The only problem is that its on rye. I hate rye bread, and on the online ordering page, they say no substitutions. So I figured I'd try the Tom's way since it had Pastrami, that bomb country bread, and egg salad, which ive never had before. The issue was, when I got my sando, it was on RYE BREAD. Im going to shoot them some bail though, because it was NYE and they were absolutely SLAMMED. There were like 35 ticket orders up. It was still good, but I didn't love it because of the rye. read more

Gets hectic during the lunch rush so I recommend that you make your orders ahead of time. I waited over 30 minutes for my sandwich. Was it worth it? YES.

It was pretty good. Limited seating inside so you can get your food to go or hope for a table outdoors. read more

Came to try their Vegan BLT, but sadly they were out of the bacon. I had to ask if they just ran out but the cashier mentioned it's been a few weeks of a delay with their supply for the bacon. I hope that they get their shipment soon and that the sandwich stays on the menu, I'd love to try it! So instead I substituted the bacon for mushrooms and bell peppers and the Sammy was pretty delish! Lots of flavors in there and the bread was a nice addition to the texture. Initially there wasn't anyone in line when i ordered but when I came to pick up my order, the line had filled the whole establishment! It did take about 30ish mins for the sandwich but it's obvious they were cranking them out as fast as they could. I'd come back again and bring my sister and husband but I just need that vegan blt in stock! read more

I had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a while, and when I happened to be in the area, I decided to finally try it. I didn't do much research beforehand, which I definitely regret. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the wait here can be insane. I wasn't expecting a 55-minute wait for two sandwiches. I also didn't notice the small sign in the back listing wait times, nor was I warned by the cashier. After standing outside in the 80-degree heat for over 20 minutes, I started reading more Yelp reviews and learned about the posted wait times and the tip to order online, which would've been helpful to know before ordering. Needless to say, I wasn't happy with the wait, and unfortunately, the sandwiches weren't worth that amount of time. I understand it's a small operation, but there's very limited seating, no real shade, and no comfortable waiting area. Overall, I was disappointed and felt like I wasted over an hour of my day on a place I'd been excited to try based on a bookmark. read more
