"A year after closing due to an explosion, this Ballard corner store and sandwich shop reopened the same as it ever was. The sandwiches are still big and meaty — there’s a reason construction workers are always eating lunch here — the vibe is still homey, and there’s still bread pudding and cheesecake in the case if your sandwich somehow wasn’t enough. Anyone missing the Reuben, with its heavy dose of coleslaw and enticing tang of mustard to cut through its meatiness, can rest easy." - Harry Cheadle
