Mmmm Gooood. Hunger might be the best sauce but you’ll change you’re mind after trying the au jus at Joe’s. We shared a freshly cooked roast beef sandwich stacked a mile high with all the trimmings. It was served with a huge portion of steaming hot au jus. Kinda gobsmacked with this dinner. It’s under the Fairfield archway sign in old town.

Lets go old school,
Lets keep it old school.
This guy just slices that meat and keeps on piling it on. Their oven in the back will handle tons of briskets at the same time, it is a convayer belt oven made to keep producing the meet. We had the roast beef and I want back to American cheese which I probably should not have because the roast beef is so delicate that artificial flavor changed the flavor a little. The sandwich comes with Aju and canned green beens, the best flavor ever. Time warp, it was downtown Fairfield and it was empty but this place was busy. Loved it, came here 15 years ago and will go back, been there for years and years.

Always a vibe! I ordered the Joe’s special (RB and Pastrami) with all the fixings. Such a great sandwich! The staff is helpful and friendly.

A classic location with one of the best sandwiches in the nation. It has been a staple of my food rotation for over 30 years. The food is fantastic and consistent you get what you came for every time.

This lil jewel was definitely worth the drive from Sacramento… we both had a Joe’s special… with a side of both macaroni salad… and potato salad… the sandwiches were phenomenal… hands down one of the best I’ve had in a long time…. and the ajou put it over the top… the macaroni salad was good… but the potato salad OMG… soooooo good… my grandma’s recipe is a family must have… but Joe’s is just as good… maybe even better this is definitely a must try spot!!!

Fantastic service! The counter staff was fast, friendly, and efficient, ensuring almost no wait time. The roast beef sandwich was huge, delicious, and perfectly paired with au jus.

I don’t expect much from a deli counter. I want the place to be clean and I want good food. My pastrami sandwich was excellent and I was very pleased with the cleanliness and the prices. Friendly people. Very good experience!

Veggie sandwich in Dutch crunch roll is delicious! All of the vegetables were fresh and the cheese ratio was …a lot!

I was hungry @ 11am, as a full time Uber driver unfortunately I have to eat out a lot. I have had sandwiches for 3 days in a row I was wanting something different, but this place stood out to me on the Google search list, mostly because I haven’t seen a sandwich shop with so many reviews sitting at a 4.8 of 5 rating, with zero 1 & 2 stars.
So, upon entrance, i don’t love the atmosphere, it gives cafeteria with fluorescent lighting & push tile ceiling, flat white walls and ZERO decor, not even a picture on any of the walls that I noticed… which is fine, they want to focus on the food then really none of this is a problem.
Their menu, maybe 8 protein choices, maybe 6 kinds of cheese, maybe 6 varieties of bread to choose from, & that’s pretty much it… I chose the “Joe’s special” which is 1/2 pastrami 1/2 roast beef or.. corned beef I can’t remember. Meat warm on cold soft French roll with Swiss.
They don’t have any fancy sauces except for mayo & mustard, or really much additional toppings except for lettuce tomato red onion & pickles.. & pepproncinis. It’s extremely simple & straight forward, which is actually kind of refreshing. Sandwich I think was around $8 or $9..REALLY great price for the Bay area & it’s a BIG portion too.
Then after you order the sandwich, slide on down the station & pick sides if you want, I got the Mac n cheese & the macaroni salad. They were I think $3.69ish each
They did have fountain drinks too which I super appreciate!
I got a small bag of lays chips too
All together my Joe’s special sandwich, 2 sides, chips & fountain drink was only $25. Honestly my meal would have been satisfactory with just the sandwich & the drink for what, like $11 or $12? Yess.
The sandwich did come with this sort of dark gravy that I LOVED as well.
I’ll Def come back here.
