They have a walk up window located inside The Commons. You just order at the window and they send you a text when it's ready to be picked up. Service has always been friendly and professional and I've never experienced a problem. The bread is unique. It's a Dutch crunch so it has a nice crunchy texture on top but the bread itself has a nice chew and holds up to whatever toppings you like. I personally favor the Crown Town club. It's a classic club sandwich-turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a chipotle mayo. I like to also add smoked Gouda because cheese improves everything imho. They also offer vegetarian options, hot sandwiches, chips, and cookies. I've honestly loved everything I've eaten from them over the years so you really can't go wrong. If you're at The Commons or even Cinder Block next door, definitely stop by and get something to eat. Highly recommend!

My buddy got the loaded fries with brisket queso, steak, and brisket, and they were amazing. That brisket queso had an awesome smoky flavor, and the portions on everything were HUGE. We were both impressed with how much food we got, and everything tasted fresh and packed with flavor. It is definitely on the pricey side, but with the portion sizes and quality of the food, I'd say it was worth it. My only real complaint was the small seating area, and the wait was pretty long. That said, they're upfront about it...they make everything fresh and even warn you that they "aren't fast food." So if you're willing to wait, I'd definitely recommend giving The UpperCut KC a try. Great food and huge portions!

It's a popular place and gets busy at peak times. Please keep that in mind when you plan your visit.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a neighborhood deli back in Northeast. The smell alone tells you you're in the right place. The sandwiches? Huge. No skimping, no shortcuts. The meats are sliced right, the bread actually has character (crispy where it should be, soft inside), and everything tastes fresh and intentional. I ordered an Italian steak, and let me tell you--this is the kind of food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. Perfect balance of meats, cheese, oil, and seasoning. Nothing overpowering, nothing missing. Just right. The staff is warm and welcoming, like they actually care if you enjoy your food (which matters). It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable, not rushed, and definitely well-fed. Johnny C's isn't trying to be trendy or fancy--it's doing what matters: good, honest deli food done right. If you're craving something that feels authentic and satisfying, this place delivers. I'll be back. And if I'm coming back, trust me--that's saying something.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and our food came out quickly. I ordered a turkey club while my dad got one as well, and unfortunately we both had the same issue. The turkey was on the dry side, and it was sliced much thicker than I personally prefer. I tend to like a thinner deli-style sliced turkey, so it just wasn't my favorite sandwich. My mom ordered one of the salads though, and honestly it looked better than my sandwich. It was loaded with fresh toppings, and she said the ranch was excellent. If I come back, I'd probably skip the sandwich altogether and give one of the salads a try. Overall, I can definitely appreciate what they're going for. The prices are fantastic, honestly unheard of in present day, and that's the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3. It's a true local spot, and I wouldn't mind giving it another chance to try something different from the menu.

Place is kinda bodega or neighborhood grocery, so you can get all manner of packaged food.

Entering the new Tay's the place looks amazing. Clean, bright, and very busy. The young lady running the order counter was super friendly and very helpful. This was where the amazing stopped. I ordered a 10 oz. Classic Cheesesteak with Cherry Peppers and Mushrooms. I also made it a combo with fries and a drink. Cost - $32. Had I just ordered the sandwich, it would have been $25. Given the quality of the steak, pricey, but fair in the current economy. The size fries and drink though, were hardly worth a $7 upcharge. The drink was a medium at best and the fries, though perfectly seasoned, were a half handful at best and super soggy and greasy. As for my cheesesteak, it was just steak. You get a very nice portion of steak, seasoned well, but no cheese. The steak stood out the most. It drowned out the mushrooms completely and though I could taste the peppers, they didn't really add much. I went in hoping for that amazing pastrami, it is gone too. I truly wanted to love Tay's, but the quality I once knew from them is now gone. I'll still go to the Burger Shack, but this is a done deal for me. If I want a real cheesesteak, I'll go elsewhere.

They have premade pizzas that they cut into big generous slices, and those slices are warmed up in their giant pizza oven before they're boxed up to go. So you can order pizza by the slice, or have them make you your own pizza. One thing that's awesome is that you can choose thick crust or hand tossed crust, and standard toppings, and you don't need to have 2 slices of the same thing! I like both of their crusts equally, so I will often get a thin crust and a thick crust, both with Canadian bacon and pineapple. They have Pepsi products on tap and it's about $10 for two slices of pizza, hot and fresh and a large diet Pepsi. They have amazing salads. What's great about it is that you can take it to go and eat half for lunch and have half later. They are gigantic again. All of the food is fresh. You can tell that they slice all the ingredients there in their store, these are handcrafted. They have a lot of indoor seating, and I see people there all the time. The driveway to get to their parking lot is rather steep. But when you pull off of 7-highway, just go slow and there is plenty of parking. The drive-through is in the back and they will have you pull forward to the window which is on the side of the building.
