This place is a local gem. Every sandwich I have ordered from them has been outstanding. I especially love the cheese steak, make sure to get it with cream horseradish, they put it on the side so you can slather it on yourself. The White Bean Soup is outstanding, I get it whenever I order and they have a nice section of craft sodas as well. Never been disappointed, delivery is always within the time Seamless specifies, prices are reasonable. Big fan, going to eat at the location one of these days.
N.B. – The have excellent iced coffee here.
It's a nice little neighborhood joint. There is not much seating inside, basically just a counter with a few seats, I think most people do delivery. I think this place has some really good artisanal sandwiches, a bit on the pricey side but still good non the less.
The shop is small but the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I really left thinking wow, the service here was great and it wasn't even waiter service. I only finished half my sandwich and I was perfectly content with just putting the other half in a to go bag and leaving it in the wax paper. No, the guy behind the counter rewraps my half sandwich in aluminum foil! For me, I really appreciate going the extra step. It seems so small but I really appreciated the gesture.
The food:
Porchetta- 5 hour Italian-style herbed roast pork served with au jus on a Rosemary Ciabatta. I really liked the porchetta a lot. There was a nice herb mix to the pork and the pork was so nice, juicy and tender. The Ciabatta was a really good bread since it had a nice texture and I liked how it didn't fall apart especially with the dip of the au jus. The au jus gave a little extra flavor without being greasy and it added a nice layer of moistness. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Sacramento Rancher- Certified choice roast beef, smoked bacon, ripe avocado, cucumber slices, lettuce and house-made horseradish cream sauce on a roll. On paper, it sounds like a homerun but the roast beef didn't have a lot of flavor, I couldn't taste the horseradish cream at all and the bread was really difficult to eat. The bread was large, hard and kept squeezing all the ingredients out from the other end. I also didn't care for the cucumbers, I don't think it added anything at all. On the bright side, the bacon was great, it was super bacon-y and crunchy. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Roasted Red Bliss Potatoes- The potatoes were good, they kinda felt like baked potatoes with a crust but $5 is pricey.
This tiny little spot off of 1st Avenue and 91st street serves up some surprisingly delicious roast beef!
Small menu of items to choose from but everything I have had here is really good.
The roast beef sandwich au jus is just a dippers delight! Tasty slow roasted beef, soft bread with a crispy outer surface, and flavorful juice to dip it into. One of the best sandwiches around these parts.
This place is solid. The owner is usually there and talking to him he seems to really care about the product. In fact, he talked me into trying out his sauteed kale and I liked it so much I added it to my roast beef platter meal that day. I normally hate kale!
If you can swing lunch here from 11-4 get the sandwich special – you can choose from porchetta, lamb, beef or mushroom. Served on a medium-sized brioche roll. Comes with your choice of roasted red bliss potatoes or homemade coleslaw, and a drink. It's a deal for $7.95. Great to grab and go as it's not really a place to sit down and dine at.
For some it might be a bit pricey but the quality is there. Just do it!
Love that the UES/Yorkville has some of these newer specialty food places taking a chance up here. Not many spots like this anywhere in Manhattan with this kind of menu.
I have to say I was very happy with the delivery from the men on the phone to the speed of delivery. I am giving 4 stars only because I only ordered delivery and I save the prized 5 stars for only the most special places.
Food: I orderd a chicken platter. It comes with two sides and although they do not have steamed veggies, the side salad did the job. The chicken was delicious and was served atop a flavorful blend of veggies and raisins. I also ordered the small lentil soup which tasted great. Everything was well porioned for the price and it also came with a fresh roll soft on the outside with a crisp exterior.
Hopefully I will have a chance to revise the review to five stars the next time I am in this area as it was a great option for dinner and I would reccomend it for delivery or pick up!
If you go to a place called Au Jus, you should probably go with something that comes with jus. Like their really good traditional roast beef sandwich, which is the size of a small child and absolutely delicious.
I, however, am a rebel and decided to go with the half roasted chicken. Blasphemy? Maybe, but it was great and I have no regrets. Absolutely huge portion (they aren't kidding with literally half a chicken), with sweet raisin stuffing and your choice of 2 sides. I went classic with green beans and potatoes, although I wouldn't mind returning to try more. The chicken was really moist, not dried out at all like most rotisserie places, and augmented even further by the incredible pan jus on the side.
Service was really quick and friendly as well! We were in and out in ten minutes tops (with no wait on a Sunday night).
Sorry mom and dad, but I think my meal at Au Jus was better than my thanksgiving. Maybe we can spend it on the upper east side next year.
Ordered to go here because we were staying at a hotel right around the corner.
Delicious! Their bread is heavenly! Very fresh meats with a lot of flavor. We will come back and order here again.
Delicious food, tried Asian chicken for the first time, well made, salad is no longer boring. Recommend and will come back to try more.
Au Jus.. you turned this curmudgeon of a critic of past bad service into a fan. The food was never an issue, it's quite yummy.. Finally properly staffed with a cashier and full kitchen staff you rock! Lunch combo specials are awesome and cheap $7.95! Flavorful roast beef and the savory porchetta… mmm mmm good. I love the portabello sammie too for those who don't eat meat.. if vegan get it sans the cheese. The soups are hearty and delish, even the vegan options, I love the lentil and pea soup (got some curry in there)! So good. I ignore the pic of Mayor De Blah blah on the wall with the owner.. guess he lives down the block now.. Oh sorry I digress,.. we don't comment on politics on yelp.. 😛
