Reubenesque is the perfect name
Not the real deal Reuben but close enough and it's Thick. Sticker is definitely Jeep dash worthy

No fresh made sandwiches when I went at supper time and for the time being they are stopping making fresh sandwiches after lunch. There were cold sandwiches in the case but the bread usually is soggy in those kinds of sandwiches - though I didn't try them from this place

An old fashioned neighborhood market. Great pastrami sandwiches. Special treats for their 4-legged customers. Whether you buy a little or a lot you are treated to great service with a smile.

Contactless payment, deli, beer, wine, cigarettes, ice cream, coffee and phenomenal sandwiches made to order and pre made to grab n go. Owner operator and when hes not there he has a solid friendly staff, very friendly. Beverage selection is tops and has propane gas for bbq grill as well as dogs and other snacks to grill if you forgot it. Very reasonable price considering its 2 blocks to the beach.

Friendly service, tasty sandwiches, freshly made or pre made for you to grab and go in the cooler if you don't have time to wait for your individually crafted sandwich. Very filling. Try the tri tip, they BBQ it on site.
