From a market cart to four shops
In 2014 Maya Castellano and Andre Whitfield sold goetta biscuits from a borrowed griddle at Findlay Market. We still smoke, pickle and slice everything ourselves.

"The pastrami is genuinely half a pound and the rye is toasted so it doesn't fall apart. Best sandwich downtown, and I've tried them all." 
"I order the goetta biscuit on the app at 7:40 and I'm out of the drive-up by 7:46. That window has changed my mornings." "Finally a vegan sandwich that isn't an afterthought. The tofu is crunchy and the pickled veg is sharp. I get it twice a week." "Every box had a name on it and the gluten-free ones were sealed separately. Arrived 20 minutes early. Our office manager wants to marry them." 
"Trivia night plus a Hot Honey Chicken and a local draft is the perfect Wednesday. Chicken was crispy even after we lost round two." 
"Chili on a grilled cheese with oyster crackers inside. It sounds wrong and it is completely right. Very Cincinnati." 
"My kids love the grilled cheese and the record wall. Gets loud at noon on Saturday but that's kind of the charm." 
"The Italian has real giardiniera heat and the bread is seeded and crackly. Still great when I eat it at my desk at 2 pm." 
"Pickle fries are addictive. The Buckeye shake is basically a dessert meal. Wish there was more seating on a Friday night."
Before you order
Quick answers on pickup, delivery, allergens and catering. Still stuck? Call any shop and a real person picks up.
Most pickup orders are ready in 12 to 15 minutes. During the weekday lunch rush from 11:45 to 1:15, plan on about 20 minutes. The order confirmation shows a live ready time.
Usually yes. Direct orders have a flat $3.99 delivery fee and menu prices are about 15% lower than on third-party apps, which charge us higher commissions.
Yes. Any sandwich marked with the GF tag can be made on gluten-free bread for $2, toasted in a separate pan. Our kitchens handle wheat flour, so we cannot guarantee zero cross-contact.
Boxed lunches, platters and Morning Spreads need 24 hours notice. The Sandwich Bar needs 5 days. We can often fill same-day orders under 30 people, so call and ask.
Never. Stacked gift cards have no expiration date and no fees, and they work at all four shops and online.
