Cheeky Sandwiches

A little hard to find but well worth the search. The service was fast and pleasant. You can tell the owners/workers take pride in what they are doing. I got the chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. The biscuits are top notch and the flavor on the chicken is really good. So often you get chicken sandwiches that are dressed up with all kinds of things that disguise the lack of flavor in the chicken itself. The toppings complimented the chicken, leaving it front and center. Can you get a better chicken sandwich in the city? I’m sure you can find a few somewhere. Can you get a better chicken sandwich for under $7? Absolutely not. A new LES staple

We were hungry and wanted to grab a bite, picked a restaurant and were heading there but half-way realized that nearby there is this cheap sandwich place with extremely good reviews. We decided to give it a chance and it was the right choice! It took a moment to find the place because there is no banner or sign, also the entrance looks somewhat abandoned - broken windows and pale color. It took some courage to come in, but it was worth it. The place is very casual and relaxed, the atmosphere inside is great: music, wall paintings, friendly staff. We ordered two sandwiches: beef and grass (goat cheese), paid totally 17 usd. They both were freshly prepared and tasted very good but the beef one was simply amazing 😻. We also got a complementary donut-like sweet snack. We were eating inside at their only table, but they also have seats at the bar. The staff was very nice and polite. Overall, I can absolute recommend this place, the food is great, as well as the atmosphere.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! This is your local hole-in-the-wall sandwich joint. There’s no signage and it’s covered in graffiti and looks abandoned. I walked right past it 4 times before I finally found it and it was well worth the hunt. Not to be hyperbolic, but this was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I had the short rib, but the pork sandwich sounded amazing too, so I’ll definitely be back to try that. There was no wait and I was in and out for under $10 - almost unheard of in NYC. I just can’t say enough good things.

A wonderful hidden gem. It’s so easy to miss the door to the shop. I think I walked by twice before I was able to find it. The service is great. The woman at the counter was so friendly and nice. I had the shrimp po boy sandwich and it was so damn tasty and fresh. The French bread was nice hot and soft. The shrimp had great flavors and the veggies were all fresh. She also gave me a beignet to try and it was delicious. They have bar seating and one table on the inside. Definitely coming back to try the chicken biscuit sandwich.

I can’t even describe how much I loved this place. Was a bit hard to find (passed it twice), but so glad I didn’t give up. A hole in the wall, but with some seating, I had one of the best sandwich/biscuit combos in my life. Growing up in the south, the biscuits, gravy, and chicken were all on point and reminded me of my aunt’s cooking. Give. This. Place. A. Try.
