1. Hoagies: The Hero Your Hunger Deserves
When you’re hungry—really hungry—a hoagie is the kind of meal that delivers every time. Packed with fresh meats, crisp veggies, and savory dressings, our hoagies are made to satisfy without compromise.
What to Try:

- Spicy Turkey Hoagie: Looking to heat things up? This zesty hoagie comes with thinly sliced turkey, pepper jack cheese, spicy mayo, and jalapeños for a flavor kick that doesn’t hold back.
Why It’s a Must-Try:
Hoagies are comfort food with character. Whether you’re grabbing one for lunch or making it your dinner go-to, every bite is built to be big, bold, and satisfying. Pair it with chips or a side salad, and you’re good to go.
2. Sandwiches: Rethink What a Sandwich Can Be
Think sandwiches are just for quick lunches? Think again. Our deli sandwiches go way beyond the basics, with melty cheese, flavorful toppings, and protein-packed fillings that are anything but ordinary.
What to Try:
- Grilled Chicken Avocado Melt: Imagine this—tender grilled chicken, creamy avocado slices, melted Swiss cheese, and a touch of chipotle mayo pressed between toasted artisan bread. It’s warm, rich, and packed with creamy-crunchy textures.

Why It’s a Must-Try:
Our sandwiches are made to order and full of personality. Whether you’re into melty and messy or fresh and crisp, we’ve got something to fit your mood—and your appetite.
3. Burgers: Built Big, Grilled Right, Always Juicy
Some days just call for a burger. And not just any burger—one that’s juicy, perfectly grilled, and layered with flavors that hit all the right notes.
What to Try:
- Bacon BBQ Burger: A smoky-sweet showstopper with crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, tangy BBQ sauce, and a juicy beef patty grilled to perfection. It’s bold, messy, and 100% worth it.

Why It’s a Must-Try:
Our burgers are more than just sandwich alternatives—they’re full-on flavor experiences. Every ingredient is carefully stacked to create the perfect bite. Add fries or onion rings for the full effect.
4. Salads: Light Doesn’t Have to Mean Boring
Yes, you can eat clean and still enjoy every bite. Our salads are fresh, colorful, and full of delicious ingredients that make eating light feel indulgent.
What to Try:
- Chicken Caesar Salad: A timeless favorite with crisp romaine, grilled chicken breast, shaved Parmesan, crunchy croutons, and creamy Caesar dressing. Simple, classic, and satisfying.

Why It’s a Must-Try:
These aren’t your average “side salads.” They’re meal-worthy, fresh, and perfect when you want something that feels good and tastes great. Great for a lunch break or a lighter dinner option.
5. Wings: Saucy, Crispy, and Addictively Good
There’s something about wings that makes them perfect for every occasion—game nights, casual hangs, or just a snack you don’t want to share (no judgment).
What to Try:
- Buffalo: Spicy, tangy, and classically crave-worthy.
- Honey BBQ: Sweet, smoky, and finger-licking good.
- Garlic Parmesan: Rich, buttery, and dusted with just the right amount of Parmesan for an elevated twist.
