The ingredients? Always top-notch. The sandwiches? Named after classic rock bands. Think “Megadeth,” “Cheap Trick,” and a few other riffs that will satisfy the craving of any sandwich lover.

I still remember my first visit. A friend insisted we stop there for lunch, and honestly, I wasn’t prepared for how good it would be. Every bite was delicious, and made me want to go back for more.
