I was surprised by wait line just 20min after opening. The menu is short and simple. The chicky sandwich was really good. I wish I can say the same for tuna melt. It was just meh.
I wish I could try their strawberry lemon cake but they were out of it at the moment. It looked amazing.

I came across Salty Lunch Lady’s Little Luncheonette on YouTube one night when I was half awake / half asleep and saved it on my maps for my yearly trip to the city… and I’m so glad I did.

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. The food is next level — like the kind of good where you take one bite and immediately feel validated for saving it months ago. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and made with actual care.

The dill party turkey was so good it literally disappeared before I could even take a pic. Gone. No evidence. Just a memory and zero regrets.

The cream corn sandwich was unreal — crispy, buttery, sweet + savory, and ridiculously satisfying. It’s one of those dishes that sounds simple but eats like something you’ll randomly think about weeks later.

And the fig pie? Perfect. Not too sweet, super flavorful, and honestly the kind of dessert that ends the meal on a high note like a mic drop.

Great neighborhood spot! Seems like it has a lot of the original fixings and charm. I had the chicky and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was divine! Always a long line on the weekends (sometimes out the door) but it moves quickly. Once you’ve ordered, be ready to wait 25-30 minutes for your sandwich though! It will be worth the wait. There is some outdoor seating too for the warmer months.

I absolutely love Salty Lunch Lady! I live around the corner and have been too many times to count. The rotating desserts are so so so good, in particular the passion fruit and raspberry ones I’ve had were mind blowing, and this place knows how to make a real good cookie.

The sandwiches are consistently excellent. I have a soft spot for the Chicky and Dill Party but the Sunday specials and all regular sandwiches are also really delicious. So glad you’re here!

I really wanted to like Salty Lunch Lady, but I honestly don’t get the hype.

The sandwiches are small, slow to come out, and expensive, ranging from about $14–$18, and there’s nothing about them that feels special. The ingredients might be good quality, but the execution is very basic. We tried the chicken sandwich and the turkey sandwich and both were just okay. Nothing memorable. The seeded sesame bun didn’t taste very fresh either, which is a big miss for a sandwich spot.

The service setup is also strange. You have to grab your own sandwich, your own utensils, and then bus your own plates and cups afterward. For those prices, that feels off. It’s not a casual deli price point, but it’s a self-service experience.

I will say, the desserts are excellent. The ginger cake was moist and the cream was delicious. But $12 for a single slice of cake is outrageous, even factoring in overhead. It just feels disconnected from reality.

Overall, this place feels overhyped. I don’t understand the glowing reviews. In my opinion, they need to either make the sandwiches bigger and better seasoned, lower the prices, or lean fully into the baked goods and rethink the pricing and service model. Even something as simple as having staff clear tables would improve the experience.

As it stands, I wouldn’t rush back.

Too many good things to say about this place not even an exaggeration one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my entire life and the brass monkey what a cute and fun drink, kind of like a bootleg mimosa, but even better! Great for the neighborhood I will definitely be back. I want to try every single sandwich on the menu and all of you should too.

I went on MLK, so the place was very crowded. The wait to order was about 20 mins, and the wait doe the food was about 45 mins. The tables were hard to grab given the crowd. I enjoyed my sandwich and the cake. They were good but not special—not worth the crowd or the wait for me. But if I live near by and there is no wait, I would frequent the spot. The place is also charming and cute, but you won’t get to fully enjoy it given the crowd. I would say this is a good local spot but not worth traveling to or waiting for.

This place was honestly so good. The food was flavorful, fresh, and just hit the spot. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they make. The vibe is chill and cozy, and the staff was really friendly which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of those spots you randomly find and end up wanting to come back to. Would 100% recommend if you’re in the area.

Sandwich and desserts were delicious. I loved that it was a small lunch menu and suddenly y the freshly made desserts began to make their appearance. The s’mores pie was soooo good. Staff was sweet and friendly.

The wait to order here on a weekend morning is a bit obscene, however the sandwiches are so very good and the desserts are not to be missed! Even though the line is long I think the staff and customers do a great job of handling the crowd and doing their best to open up the tables when you are finished.
