"Went here on a Saturday afternoon with a couple friends and ordered three sandwiches. There were no other customers present in the store until after we were served our food (this matters). Nobody greeted us at any point and they refused to even make eye contact. Very very very awkward and uncomfortable interactions for all of us with everyone that was behind the counters. After 12 minutes they took our order despite nobody else being in the store. Paid $55 for three sandwiches and 3 cans of soda. We asked them to cut our sandwiches into thirds and they refused--arguing that its not possible. Finally, when we asked to use their knife to cut our sandwiches, they said this one time they'll cut them into thirds but never again. Without any exaggeration, it took 40 minutes from when we walked in until we were served three cold sandwiches, in an empty store while the crew was roaring and horsing around in the back. There is nothing in the store that isn't cheaper in other markets and from other delis. We paid $55 for three sandwiches because we expect service that is consistent with that kind of charge, not just bread and meat with nasty attitude. Sandwiches were ok, but absolutely not worth a 40 minute wait in a place where you're skin is crawling and the employees don't know how to greet you much less give you a decent experience. Wouldn't go back."
