Subs are truly enormous and consist of almost too much meat on them which is strange to say these days. Nice store with some odds and ends you can also picky up while getting some food. The people working there were very friendly too. Also has a nice roomy parking lot which helps when stopping by.

All star deli! Great sandwich spot whether you want a hand crafted turkey and cheese or a fresh bacon egg and cheese right off the grill. Their donuts and bakery selection is fresh and had that authentic old school bakery vibe. Excellent customer service and always clean inside and out. Great addition to the neighborhood! Definitely a spot worth checking out.
