Testimonials

On 4/22/2025 Patirck Schulz had this to say:
Had the Wagyu beef pastrami on Rye while in town for work, and came back the next day to try something different. Food and service were amazing both times.

On 4/22/2025 Zach Klausen had this to say:
In town for work and found this gem. Ham and Cheese Panino was simple and delicious... went back for specialty pizza the next day and was equally impressed.

On 4/22/2025 Raphael Maier had this to say:
Great sandwiches and great guy.

On 4/16/2025 Tara Spear had this to say:
The Mortadella Monster was genuinely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had - everything tasted super fresh and I think just about every element here is scratch made. The owner was super kind and ready to converse and answer any questions we had. Such a great find!

On 4/14/2025 Daschel Bradish had this to say:
This is not a standard shop. The owner goes above and beyond to deliver a real culinary experience. This is where you should go for a truly memorable meal in Decorah.
