The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, and the service is outstanding. This place is one of the hidden gems that locals in Saugus visit for the best pastrami sandwiches. Don’t just take my word for it—give it a try yourself! You’ll be glad you did. Food: 5/5

Went for the sandwiches during lunchtime. I had to wait about 6 minutes until someone asked me for my sandwich order. She said she was busy and the customer service was not there. As I was being serviced someone else walked in behind me. Not a place to go to if you are in a hurry and if you have a limited amount of time to eat. There is no room for eating as this is strictly take out.

My Reuben was good. More than enough meat, sauce, and cheese. I'll be back to try other sandwiches. This deli is located inside of a quick mart/liquor store. That threw me off, but delicious nonetheless.
