Stopped in and tried their signature sandwich today, the salvation. It’s ham, salami and mortadella with 3 cheeses on toasted bread. I did the medium which was a big portion for one person. I probably could have gone with the small and been fine. The bread, cheese and mustard kind of took away from the meats in my opinion. I might try it plain next time to get a better taste of the main parts. It was good and a solid portion sandwich. I think it was around $12 with tax which is kind of expensive for just a sandwich but you won’t be hungry.

THIS is the sandwich shop that James Island had been lacking. They have a wide selection of sandwiches to choose from, and their in-house circular French bread is fresh and delicious. Crispy on the outside but soft and pillowy on the inside. I ordered the “Salvation” sandwich in medium which is their most popular offering. It was a bit pricey at $14 after tax and tip, but worth it for the generous portion size and tasty fillings. I’m a big eater but I’d probably be fine just ordering the small next time which is still quite loaded. The employees are also very friendly. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful deli on James Island! Their bread is fantastic: isn’t too hard or too mushy. The sandwiches resemble what you might find at Scholtzsky’s but BETTER. Having grown up in a deli, I love the family feel to this place! Highly recommended!

Listen, I worked at Jimmy Johns for 4 years, however…my loyalty is now to Alvin Ord. Just went to the new spot on James Island and was SO impressed, how delish. The one thing I didn’t ask about but hope they have is some sort of hot pepper for me to add to my next sandwich bc I like it spicy. 🙂 10/10 on customer service and sandwich. I’m about to eat the other half I’m supposed to be saving for my husband.

Do yourself a favor and get to this sandwich shop immediately! We have not had a bad sandwich yet and have been several times since they opened a few months ago. The bread is so delicious and everything inside is very fresh. Might go there now, since I’m thinking about it!

The Beaufort Philly is the best Philly I have found in Charleston! Made with real ingredients. Extremely tasty. The French dip was great too.

If you think a sandwich is just a sandwich then you should try this place. I like a sandwich, but never expect much, this was next level good. I had a turkey on whole wheat. Sounds pretty vanilla, right? Bread was warm and tasted freshly baked. Its the perfect mix of protein and veggies, not too much onion. I ordered a medium and only ate half, to have something to look forward to. A large is the size of a small pizza. Sandwiches here are round. Bread is homemade.
