Slab Sandwich

Ever since Scratch on 12th closed down I’ve been on the hunt for place that makes sandwiches as good as they did, and I think I finally found it. Much like Scratch, the sandwiches seem a bit small at first, but one bite and…omg the flavors. It’s well balanced, and by the time you’re done you’re full because the meat portions are juicy and generous. It passes my Chipotle test - worth the flavor and not leaving me hungry with a list price around $15. I plan to try every sandwich they have, but the two I’ve gotten to were excellent. Thick, juicy meat, balanced and flavorful sauces and other items, and soft bread that completes the taste and feel. I even got a free cookie. I’m not much of fan of cookies, but this one continued the trend of being well balanced (and well salted), and everyone I shared it with enjoyed it. The shop itself it just a counter and a drink fridge, no real place to sit. It works, it’s nice, but plan to take it to go. I will be back here as often as I can, tho probably not as often as I’d like as they’re only open for lunch.

Absolutely delicious Cubano sandwich. Highly highly recommend. Cool spot connected to a restaurant where they allow you to dine at the bar. Kind employee. But the sandwich was so so so good.

It’s a great place for sandwiches with seating inside the beautiful Lark restaurant. We went on a cold Saturday around 1230 and we’re easily able to grab a seat. The fried chicken sandwich is delicious as is the burrata salad. Kids and adults enjoyed it. It was fun to sit at the window and stay warm while enjoying good food.

Fried chicken sandwich was good, but seemed to lack a bit, mainly of spicy. Expected it would be hot with the ghost pepper ranch but even with extra on the side for it didn't make a difference and wasn't hot at all. Should have tried the Cubano recommended instead

Quality sandwich from the folks who run Lark in the evenings. My Cubano was excellent and generously made. The cookies look amazing maybe next time! I ate my sandwich over two meals and really enjoyed it.

WARNING: AFTER READING THIS REVIEW YOU WILL WANT SLAB TO CATER EVERY FUTURE EVENT! Updating to include about my AMAZING catering experience with Slab for my graduation party! As a big fan of their sandwiches, I was delighted to hear that they offered sandwich platters. I worked with Allison from start to finish and having nothing but kind words to share about Slab's customer service. I ordered sandwiches for 50 people and the portions are so great that we had several leftovers (aka hangover cure ). Each sandwich was cut in half and wrapped on the platter. They took such special care to label each sandwich type and even separated the vegetarian options which made it so easy for my friends. All of the guests were raving about the sandwiches throughout the party! They accommodated my party time even though it was outside regular business hours and every member of the staff congratulated me when I picked them up Thanks for making my day so special! All of the sandwiches are made of leftover meat from Lark. The bread is crispy and the meat is juicy- a hard balance to perfect. My partner got it for lunch yesterday & insisted we get it again today for me to try. We split the Cubano sandwich & the Brisket sandwich. Our order was ready within 15 minutes of the phone call! I also saw on their website they offer platters. This would be the perfect place to cater a party that pleases all! We will definitely be back.

The Cubano and brisket sandwich were hands down the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The tomato burratta was good too but having it after the brisket was just not fair competition.

Slab sandwich just made the greatest meatball sub that I've ever had in my entire life. It was perfectly balanced in every sense of the word: right amount of sauce, cheese, bread, meatballs, arugula. Balanced in flavor. Balanced in portion size. Normally I feel too full, or like it wasn't enough. It was "just right" 👌🏾. 10/10 would recommend.

Gosh this is going to be a long one. I've been coming here for a few years now so this place has a special place in my heart. Slabs in Capitol Hill is hands down the best sandwich spot in the entire Pacific Northwest! Bold claim, I know. Hear me out. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked cookies and savory sandwiches fills the air, creating an irresistible temptation. Let's talk about their Fried Chicken Sandwich - oh my FREAKING goodness. People ask me what's my all time favorite sandwich. As much as I want to gatekeep, I can't. The Fried Chicken Sandwich from Slab Sandwiches + Pie. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning to entice your taste buds. The addition of pickles and slaw adds a delightful crunch and tanginess that complements the chicken beautifully. From the perfect amount of spice, to the soft yet toasty texture of the bread and crispy batter on the chicken. Each bite is a melody of flavors that leaves you yearning for more. And don't even get me started on their Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie! I didn't get it this time because they were out, but trust me when they have it, you NEED to try it. Ordering your meal without the cookie should be illegal. It's sheer indulgence in every bite. The cookie is soft and chewy, with generous chunks of chocolate and a sprinkle of salt that elevates the sweetness to a whole new level. It's the kind of treat that you'll find yourself dreaming about long after you've devoured it. For as simple as it is, no other cookie franchise can compare! The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Shout out to Allison for being such a chill and AMAZING host! Whether you're a local or just passing through Seattle, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Slab Sandwiches + Pie. When I say this is a hidden gem, this is definitely THE gem worth discovering. No if's, and's or but's.

Sandwich was fantastic. Fries were soggy. Would definitely come back and try other things!

Wow, spot on sandwiches and great idea from the owners of Lark to run this sandwich offering for lunch. Service was quick, no frills and you can be done in under 30 mins at lunch time. The sandwich bread itself had a nice inner crunch and soft outside, with the brisket juicy and tender. The special tsatziki chicken was delicious too and would definitely come back to try the others!

Amazing food. Best sandwiches in the town. Amazing hostess too. The cookie is the best in seattle.

We shared the brisket sandwich and the ranch burger. The burger was excellent. The brisket was very good- quite tasty but a bit too fatty for my taste. Their brewed coffee was also very good.

I'm a sucker for a good sandwich, and this place totally hit the spot. I had been looking forward to a nice summer burrata sandwich for a while, and after a peek at their menu, I was on a mission. I got it to go with one of their famous chocolate chip sea salt cookies. (Also the person who took my order was super nice and down to earth. Points there, too.) The sandwich had the perfect balance of flavors that were loud but also somehow didn't overpower that nice, fresh, creamy burrata - the star. That cheese was wonderful and gooey but didn't make the sandwich a total mess. The moisture wasn't overdone and didn't make it fall apart, an impressive feat for how much juicy veggie goodness was on it. The bitter lettuces, the Mama Lils peppers, the herbs... it was all perfect. Finished off with some great balsamic glaze. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a decently priced, satisfying sandwich made with love. The cookie was great, no bones about it, but the salt was a little piled on in one spot. If there was absolutely anything I'd critique it would be to have that not quite so concentrated in the center of it. But I love a salty cookie, so... Yeah, go and get it!

I stopped by today for a brisket sandwich and was super impressed! Will definitely be returning. It's a bit on the heavier side, perfect if you need a filling meal. Having arrived from Texas recently, the brisket here was just as good as I remember. As a member of the trans community, I also greatly appreciated being treated with such respect and kindness by the woman who took my order. Not every business is like this and it's great to feel so welcome. Will definitely be returning!

From the outside, it looks like a hole in wall but once you enter the building, it's very upscale and clean. The sandwiches are delicious but on the small size given the price. But I would definitely come back. Ordered the brisket and burrata. The beef was super tender and seasoned well. The burrata was so good. I want to try the cubano the next time around. The pics are pretty much on point

I was lucky enough to come on a day when the pulled pork slider was on the menu and SWEET JESUS this tastes good. The only downfall is I didn't get there early enough and missed out on the salted caramel cookie.

I got a fried chicken sandwich and my girlfriend got the burrata sandwich, both were really good. The bread is pretty amazing, tender and buttery but also quite flavorful. The sandwiches were also like 13 dollars, not cheap but I think cheaper than other similar seattle restaurants!!! Fantastic. Just make sure to check the hours when you come haha

Phenomenal sandwiches! My favorite sandwich is the brisket sandwich; I get it every time! It's so flavorful and juicy. Also, JM's chocolate chip cookies are to die for!!!

Good friendly service however I felt like the Cubano sandwich I ordered kinda had too much sauce. Otherwise it was tasty and fresh. Might try this place again.

First off this place was dog friendly. The brisket was nice and tender and we opted for no aioli and the sandwich was tasty as is without any sort of sauce. The fries were also good, some soft, some crispy, nice balance and nice flavor.

I had a perfectly good salad from Amazon Go that I was going to have for lunch. Slab popped up in my Fooda notification and the Grinder caught my eye. I dashed over to get one at their pop-up and was a little taken aback that all the food was pre-boxed. Oh well. Back to the office with my super light box and voila, a miniature grinder on a lightly baked baguette. It didn't look like the yummy sandwiches I've seen in other photos and the fact that I still have half in this box tells you something. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't memorable. I was thinking GRINDER as in big ass sandwich from Tat's or Mammoth. Live and Learn.

Wow, some of the best sandwiches I've had in a trendy, cute restaurant. Ambience/Service: We wandered into this place after being at Swedish and only having a limited time to grab lunch. We ended up having one of the best sandwiches we've had in a while. This is a cute little sandwich shop connected to Lark, a larger, connected restaurant/lounge. It was quiet but we were fine with that. Just 1 other couple there that was finishing up their meal. The staff were super nice and was happy to explain the menu. The environment is super trendy, clean, and a place I would choose to meet up with friends at. Food (I'm vegetarian, my wife is not): We ended up both getting vegetarian sandwiches to have a light lunch. We were both very satisfied. We got a Burrata sandwich with sweet and spicy peppers that was on a perfectly toasted baguette. It was sublime. She's a big fan of avocado toast and she ordered their version. It was on farrow toast and had a ginger jam on it. We ended up "splurging" for the sunchoke chips that worked perfectly with both sandwiches. They were both great but the star was for sure the burrata sandwich. I still crave that sandwich. The sunchoke chips were perfectly seasoned and crunchy. Overall: Without question one of the best sandwich shops we've eaten at. We will come out of our way to come back again.

Loveeeee this place! My reliable, fresh, fresh ingredients sandwich shop! The burrata (mama Lils and balsamic) sandwich is amazingly delicious!!! $9 well spent!

This place is absolutely amazing with some of the best sandwiches I have had in Seattle at reasonable prices. I tried the fried chicken, Cubano, and brisket and they were all great. Do yourself a favor and go here!!

The special was a chicken club (boyfriend loved it!) I got the brisket sandwich, a bit over cooked but I too loved my sandwich! The gal who greeted us did not really greet, honestly she gave pretty poor service and my boyfriend did not tip and she dropped off our food and walked away saying 'enjoy'. On the plus side it's linked to Lark and that looked wonderful ie the dining room pic and plum plan pic :-) I'd go back for the food but won't expect much service wise. We did thank the chef upon departure. May try Lark before I go to the other side of the 'venue' for the sandwiches. Oh, not a good view here at all but the building it's self has like 5 bars/a distillery? And another restaurant so it really is a cool space

Staff is super nice. They were out of brisket around 1PM so I got the special, which was steak and blue cheese. The meat was very tough and hard to chew, and the blue cheese to meat ratio was too high. The sandwich itself was pretty small. I also got the fries, which were unusually gritty and tough. They were strangely dense, and it felt like I was eating eating a baked russet potato that was sliced into little fry shapes. The sauce that came with the fries was not bad (some sort of lemon aioli). I also got the truffle chips which were spectacular (again, though, with unusual texture). They were aromatic and melted in the mouth. I did takeout and the turnaround time was a couple of minutes.

Best sandwiches in the city. My favorites are the brisket and the sardine sandwiches, but you can't go wrong with any of their selections.

Initial thoughts: tricky place to find, you walk in, interesting atmosphere with an industrial interior design, exposed ceilings... I'm a fan. Walk up order style and took about 8-10 minutes for food to come to me (was not busy). 2 tables available for people wondering about COVID seating. My entourage and I ordered the 12 hour brisket sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, and a side of fries to split for 2. The hostess went out of her way to personally deliver our food to us at our seats located just outside the main entrance. Visual impression: packaging was simple and neat. When the sandwich was revealed a diagonal cross cut became apparent (I gravitate towards a diagonally cut sandwich). At these price points the visual presentation exceeded my expectations. Initially I tried the fries. The aioli sauce was to die for. When biting into the brisket sandwich the quality of the ingredients became apparent immediately. This was not ordinary sandwich. It had the proper balance of ingredients, not too much meat, not too bready... the perfect ratio. Flavors: first bite, my tongue was bombarded with the aioli sauce in a good way. Hints of lemon, salt and pepper, it was a very inviting first bite. Second bite, the immediate richness of the brisket took over, the meat had the perfect amount of moisture, it was a dam good sandwich. The chicken sandwich which After only having one bite, I could instantly tell it was on the upper echelon of chicken sandwiches. In conclusion great people great food great atmosphere, this is a top tier spot.

Well, that was unexpectedly delightful . Having been a bit under the weather, I was assuredly not in the mood to fix my own lunch, which gave me the opportunity that I've been waiting for to venture out and try Slab Sandwiches. I must admit that since moving to Seattle, I have been overjoyed with the vast selection of Caribbean sandwiches, but some of the familiar sandwich spots have fallen flat with me. That all changed today. As soon as I located the door (as I mentioned, my mind has been elsewhere today), I was confronted with a menu that made choosing only one sandwich seem incredibly difficult. Eventually, with the help of the friendly waitstaff, I settled on the Burrata sandwich (you can put that on a sandwich?!?) and a few short minutes later they slid the sandwich in front of me as I watched Seattle-ites dash through the unrelenting drizzle. In short, the amount of burrata was ample, the tomatoes were actually flavorful, and there was something delicious and pickled on it to add zing. While the sandwich was a little pricey for its small size, I am definitely planning to return at some point to try the brisket (and, of course, pie)!

Very very good and well crafted. Eaten here 5 times since I found it last month. Favorite sandwich is the Brisket. Simple and damn tasty. I found this place by accident while attempting to go to a different sandwich shop. Boy am I glad I took a different way. This place is a hidden diamond. I'm from San Francisco so I'm a snooty eater. Over the past year of all the sandwich places i've tried this one is the best for my smug, highfalutin palette. Only open for 3 hours a day so watch out for that! 11-2

Had a great lunch and even greater conversation with JM today. My wife and I shared the brisket sanny and fries, both of which were delish. Brisket was not too smokey which my wife loved, and the fries were perf. So enjoy supporting local folks trying to make their way through this mess. We totally enjoyed the food, but the conversation was awesome, discussing our mutual passion for good food and good people. Can't wait to see you and John again!

Found Slab while looking for an easy and quick lunch spot before taking my mom to her hospital appointment. It's right by the IHOP and SU. I spent $1.75 on street parking right outside the place. When you walk in, it looks like it might be closed, but then you find the correct door and are greeted by a chipper gal at the counter. I got the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. The meat was tender and smoky with just the right amount of smoky mayo and peppers, tucked neatly into a chewy artisan sandwich roll. My mom got the burrata(?) and said it was ok, but wasn't a fan of the bitterness from the endive. My uncle got the cubano and ate the whole thing. My mom and I were content with eating halves, though I quickly ate the other half for dinner a few hours later. Sandwiches range from $9-12. We also got the truffle sunchoke chips ($3) as recommended by another reviewer. They were really greasy; dripping, really, but in the best way possible. Truffle scented with sweet, oniony flavor and satisfying crispness. The space and ambiance is different, but not unpleasantly so. It's informal and minimalistic. The sandwiches came on sheets of butcher paper with a piece of tape for you to wrap up leftovers when done eating. I would come again.

I came back to try the sandwiches here and left pretty disappointed. My boy and I got the brisket sandwich and the sardine sandwich to share with an order of the truffle sunchoke chips. The lady who rang us up was sweet, the atmosphere was nice, and it's always a plus when you see the owner behind the counter. The meat inside the sandwiches were tasty. Moist brisket and flavorful sardines. No complaints there! I added crispy chicken skin to my brisket sandwich (because who wouldn't?!) and for an extra $2, all I got was a thin piece of soft chicken skin... dun dun dun. Super bummed when I was half way done with my sandwich and realized my chicken skin was totally lacking. The bread was also really dry. The entire piece of bread was all one texture - dry. If anything, I would come here just for their sweets and truffle sunchoke chips. Don't forget to get the chips and their cookies, ok? Ok!

I started working in the Capitol Hill area in September. Before I dive in to how much I deeply adore Slab, I'm going to start by saying that the salted chocolate chip cookie at slab's rave reviews might have influenced my decision to take this new job... The food honestly never disappoints - from the avocado toast with the tomato ginger jam, to the weekly sandwich specials that they knock out of the park to the salted chocolate chip cookie I already mentioned. It's food I tend to daydream about which results in me frequenting slab at least once a week. What's even better is the friendly service is what keeps me coming back for more. Because good food tends to taste even better when there's friendly people serving it to you!

A little treasure tucked away near the hospitals and Seattle U. For $12 or less, you get a large, quality sandwich crafted under the watchful eye of one of the best and most recognized chefs in Seattle, what's not to like? For those who are accustomed to Subway, this should be a revelation in flavor complexity. My creamy burrata sandwich w pickled vegetables and red-ripe tomato, on a soft, chewy baguette, was...just perfect. Saving the other half for tomorrow, it was plenty big. Cool little shop, too--sort of a permanent pop-up. Nice staff. I'll be back---

I ordered the Cubano and my friend ordered the 12 hour brisket... and I thought his tasted better. However, that doesn't mean mine wasn't delicious, too! There is a fair amount of meat in the Cubano and the bread is just oh so yummy. The bread is crispy/crunchy on the outside and just doughy and light enough on the inside to sop up the meat juices and flavors from the sauce/spread they "slab" on the sandwich. It has become my alternative to the late and original Paseos (I am not sure any sandwich will ever live up to the #2 Cuban sandwich from there...) Seating for lunch is SUPER DUPER limited right now, so BEWARE of eating there during lunch rush hour! (My friend and I arrived there at 1:30pm and luckily were the only ones eating there. Other customers were ordering items to carry out)

Slab is an absolute must for a weekday lunch. It has actually become a tradition at my work to go every Friday for the amazing sandwiches (and pies) but also for the superb Sami who is also very attentive and a lot of fun to hang around with! First of all the sandwiches are amazing. Our favorites are definitely The Cubano and the 12-Hour Brisket. They also have a Weekly Special sandwich that is absolutely amazing as well. Shout out to the Cheesesteak and Carne Asada Torta Specials from a few weeks back (you guys really need to bring those two back soon)! You can tell they take pride in their creations because each sandwich is carefully prepared and looks amazing. As mentioned above not only are their sandwiches delicious, but their sweets are too. They have the best slated chocolate chip cookies ever. And their weekly sweet pie creation is absolutely amazing. During the summer they also have their ice cream pies...just when you think they haven't outdone themselves already in the sweets department. So if you're looking for a gourmet sandwich unlike all the boring sub shops on First Hill. Or simply an amazing dessert, come check out Slab and say hello to Sami! You won't be disappointed!

Super good special, the fried chicken sandwich. It was juicy and spicy and the bread it's on is amazing. Also had the salted chocolate chip cookie and churro s'mores. The desserts were good but I wish they had warmed them up!

I've walked past this place every day for a year and never managed to stop in. How is beyond me! I went on a whim a few days ago and was absolutely blown away. I'll be dragging my husband, who has celiac disease, here for our next lunch date because they have gluten-free bread! As a lover of sandwiches, I give this place an honest 10/10. Try the cubano!

Tried the cubano sandwich and whoa! Meat galore. I found out this is owned by Lark and the quality really carries through. The bread had a nice crisp edge but not hard that it cuts up your mouth. Such a big plus. There's smoked pickles in there and normally I'm not a fan of pickles but this combo with pork really makes the pickles a nice balance. The aioli is also oh so good! Will definitely have to try other sandwiches they offer.

So I paid $15 for the Cubano. The sandwich itself was meh at best. For $15 at least serve it with some type of a side (chips, fries, coleslaw, potato salad) and on a plate not a couple pieces of paper, even a pickle that cost $0.25 would be good.

Was looking for somewhere to have a solo and casual weekday lunch and decided on this place. They utilize the bar area of Lark to serve sandwiches, pie and coffee. Eat in the bar and feel like you're hanging around while the restaurant preps for the night or take it to go. I had the farro bread toast which was a delicious variation of avocado toast with lemony lettuce and tomato jam. If you're wandering around the area and looking for a good sandwich give this place a shot.

this place have exceed my expectation. few of us travel to seattle and searched local spot for us to grab a quick bite, and we found this gem. At first the store seem to be pretty empty, and later we found out it was because during the middle of the work day where they are about to close, it was around 2PM. The owner/cashier was kindly to let us order our food even though their kitchen seems to be closed. She was very kind to allow us to sit in anywhere and took us to the other side of the store, to our surprise, a full on night lounge and restaurant. The decor was very enjoyable and we love the atmosphere that the restaurant was presenting. We ordered their popular brisket sandwich and also the fried chicken sandwich. The 12 hour brisket did not fail to amazed us. The first bite gave us so much juice in our mouth and we rushed for our next bite, it was so juicy with the fat and watery in the meat, we were hoping to take one more to go but we were too full. This is a must visit for travelers who dropping by Seattle, definitely going back again whenever i visit this town.

I got a brisket sandwich with fries. All of it was just oozing with juice and flavor. Very rich and delicious food, great service, fun vibe. It felt a little overpriced, so I went with 4/5 stars because of value.

Picked up one of the 12 hour brisket sandwiches, OMG, more than 50% was fat, big hunks of fat. Couldn't eat it after getting a mouth full of nothing but bread and fat. Disgusting. Don't waste your money unless you love big globs of fat. Wish I could post the photo of the meat in the sammie.

Best cubano sandwich! Everything about it was perfect. Cute place, friendly environment. Will be back.

Oh my god... So good! I went in today having read that it was a brand new place in Cap Hill from the owners of Lark. The main draw was the meat pies. We have a tiny selection of places that serve meat/pot pies in Cap Hill, so I had to check it out to see if it was worth eating at. Short answer: Yes! When I got in, I apparently came in a few minutes after closing. I didn't realize at the time that they were only open until 3 pm. The lady behind the register was very kind though and offered to cook me up one of the unsold meat pies still remaining. I can't exactly recall the name, but it was beef, mushrooms, and some other stuff. She told me it was her favorite. I can see why. It was SO GOOD! I imagine it had been sitting there for quite some time that day, but despite that fact, it was still an amazing pie. The breading was crumbly and had great flavor, the beef was tender and perfectly braised so I didn't get a ton of it stuck in my teeth. The mushrooms weren't a readily apparent flavor, but I imagine they were more there to compliment the sauce, which was this thanksgiving style gravy. Oh man, I could order the sauce on its own. It was so savory and delicious. It was the perfect consistency with a great blend of flavor. The whole thing was incredibly easy to eat. It didn't fall apart as I cut it and none of the filling spilled as I picked it up. I can see myself going there often. I just wish it was open later! Prices are reasonable (ranging from $7-$11). I was going to try a dessert pie too (they have a s'mores pie!) but I guess that'll have to wait for next time, which probably won't be long. For the first new place of like 28 opening in Cap Hill in 2015, this is certainly a great start!

When I heard that John Sundstrom was making sandwiches I became very excited and knew that I was going to hightail it up to the Hill and try them out! I drug my daughter Shelby, another huge Lark fan, with me. When I said tiny before, I wasn't kidding. As you enter the sandwich shop you are instantly facing a cooler and display case which them transitions into a small counter with a cash register. Opposite all that is a small counter with three or four stools. But, as is often the case, great things come in small packages! There was a lot of activity going on when I visited there, but it was all being handled in stride. The lack of eating space inside the actual shop is made up for with a long, long bench in the common hall of the building. Shelby and I knowingly ordered more food than we were going to be able to eat; I ordered the Peppered Lamb Sausage Sandwich, My daughter ordered the Cubano and we added the Beef Shortrib Slab Pie for good measure. All of it was terrific! The Peppered Lamb Sausage Sandwich is a simple enough proposition, a seasoned ground lamb patty perfectly cooked and situated on a tender, flaky and cumin-scented flat bread with a healthy schmear of seasoned labne and a few leafy fresh greens to round everything out. As I have written so often before, it's all about getting the little things right. With a sandwich like this, that has so few elements, it becomes even more crucial. The flavors, the textures - everything was spot on! Shelby's Cubano was just as meticulously prepared and as equally as delicious. And the meat pie? Holy moley! The crust had an exquisite texture, beyond flaky and yet durable enough to retain its structure. The beef, onion and mushroom filling was delectable and reminiscent of the finest Sunday pot roast dinner that you've ever had. In short, everything was fantastic and I've really come to expect that from John Sundstrom and his team. They've yet to let me down.

If I'm gonna spend $10+ on a sandwich in capitol hill, SLAB is by far the best. I have yet to have a sandwich here I did not like. The service is great. One of the workers also gives a treat to my dog everytime we visit and he looks forward to his walks to Slab every week.

I ordered the Cubano sandwich which tasted great. Will come again. The place has short hours: closes at 2 pm.

I just bit into the hardest cookie I've ever had in my life. Tried to feed it to the dog, even he wouldn't eat it. Trust the dog, don't eat Slab.

SO GOOD! We stayed in a hotel really close by and lucky stumbled upon this surprise! We had the Cubano (AHHHHmazing), the brisket sandwich, and slab meat pie. To be honest... Everything we had was satisfying and oh so tasty. The Cubano was by far my favorite but my daughter absolutely loved the meat pie! The order did take a bit longer than expected... But was well worth the wait. If I was on a time crunch I would call and pick up. There isn't a large sitting area, but you could always go eat these in a near by park... Makes them taste better. If you in the area looking for a good bite... Seriously consider checking this place out. Doubt you'll be disappointed!

THE BEST SANDWICHES! All the flavors....So great! Their weekly specials is something our office looks forward to. My favorite is the 12 hour brisket. From the smoked mayo, to the brisket. I love! Also, the salted chocolate chip cookie, we can never pass on. Bummed they're only open for lunch, but altogether one of our fave go-to spots for lunch.

I'd be amiss if I didn't let you fellow Yelpers in on how fantastic Slab's meat pies are. Ooooh baby! If you like yourself some savory pies, then this is the place to be! I split the braised short ribs and mushrooms pie with a friend, as well as their homemade chips and some open faced farro bread toast. While the toast was just meh at best, the pie was AMAZING! You know it's good when you salivate thinking about it even though you ate it weeks ago. The pie crust was made to perfection, and the filling was super flavorful and moist. The homemade chips were good. Next time, I hope to try the Cubano and some fruit pie, but I'd never be able to stop here without getting the meat pie.

Interesting space, great food - if only a little confusing on where you actually go to get the food/eat.
