The food here is very good, with a big selection, but someone really needs to teach the owner that the customer is always right. The service is often atrocious -- it seems like they hire family friends or something and then don't fire them for being terrible waitstaff. I've had orders not put in for half an hour, or no refill of water for 20 minutes. What really killed me is that I asked them to warm up a sandwich for me and they refused because it was "bending the rules". I told them they could just stick it in the microwave -- no, that would "ruin the sandwich", they said, without asking my opinion. And then the owner told me that he had taken the order off, that if I wasn't going to eat the sandwich in the way they wanted me to eat it, they did not care for my money. Absolutely terrible customer service, they were very rude, and in my opinion there are enough other places to get great food that it's not worth it. Try the 320 Market, which is very close, in the area, has great food, and everyone is really nice.
Not family friendly: A cozy little deli with ok food, but not at all family friendly. I was pretty much chased out by an angry waitress when I tried to go in with my four month old daughter in a stroller. The place was more than half empty and I just wanted to have her in the stroller by the table. Plenty of room and they don't have high chairs. This might not seem like a big deal to those without kids, but if you understand how logistically challenging it is just to get out of the house and into a restaurant with a four month old.. The stated reason (no room) was not at all plausible; I got the strong impression that they just didn't want my little girl in the place (and she was behaving beautifully). I will not go back.
food is great: don't like the way owner talks to staff. he's kinda creepy.
