Wow wow wow! What a great pastrami sandwich! Between 4 people, we ordered 1 regular OG pastrami and 1 reuben, both with a side of the brisket vegetable soup. One sandwich is good for sharing between 2. The brisket and vegetable soups were piping hot...Read More

Safe to say I am obsessed, their food is amazing. The best pastrami I’ve ever had, with the most delicious sauces. The weekends get pretty busy, so I recommend ordering in advance or going at off times. They have the friendliest staff and everything is...Read More

The food is incredible, every item is made in house with lots of intention, flavor and love. Pickles are lovely, house made chips flavorful and the pastrami is TO DIE FOR. For reference I have never really like pastrami before and I DEMOLISHED the sandwich immediately...Read More

Like Lizzo said, all the rumors are true. You’ve probably heard by now about the delicious sandwiches and chips. Vegan options. Incredible bread and excellent customer service. So that’s covered. Order ahead online to avoid a pastrami shortage or lines. Stopped in on Sunday at noon...Read More

Can I say life changing! I was able to get OG sandwich and it was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time. The bread was soft and the meat was full of flavor. Don’t even get me started with the potato chips. I’ve already recommended...Read More

Great addition to Solano. I tried a Reuben (not grilled :( ) and OG. Will be back for a pizza when they begin that program. Little bit of New York on the west coast.

Just had the best steak sandwich of my life here. FINALLY a place makes a steak sando with tender meat you can bite through instead of yanking the meat out of the bread like a dog with a chew toy. The burger was fantastic too....Read More

The best! The rye was still in the oven so I had mine on bialy (delicious btw), but that did not detract from the experience. I can't recommend this place enough. Months later and it's still just as good! They even do brisket now!

So. Good. I ordered the "OG" pastrami sandwich, and I can't wait to go back to try the others. I also picked up a POG Cream drink (deeelicious), and some pastry items that smell amazing but I'm too full to try. The employees were really...Read More

Best pastrami I’ve had! They have an efficient kiosk ordering system where you order first then find a table. The pastrami was so juicy and flavorful. I recommend the classic 6 oz, even if you’re sharing!
