Great sandwich with high quality ingredients. Best sandwich I’ve had in Iowa. His homemade pickles are great too.

We visited on a Saturday at noon and it was very busy! The sole worker at the deli said it was the busiest he had seen it. Even though he had to ring up and make sandwiches by himself, he was efficient and professional. We waited about 15 min for our sandwiches but it was worth it! They were delicious, you could tell quality ingredients were used. There were some tables to eat outside. Would go back!

Wife and I stopped in on a Monday afternoon never being there before. We hit decorah 2-3 times a year and have decided this will be a usual stop while in town. We shared a couple sandwiches one a recommendation of either the owner or employee, a turkey sandwich which was very good. However, the pastrami sandwich was by far the best pastrami Sandi both my wife and I myself have ever had. The pastrami itself was freaking amazing! The bread was a perfect complement and the mustard was what pulled it all together. Super simple but the superior ingredients used really just set it apart from your avg simple sandwiches. Cool little shop they had as well with artisan foods and random things. If you like pastrami and find yourself seeing this, go in and get yourself one, Or maybe 365
