The lettuce on the sandwich was brown and there was more lettuce than anything else on the sandwich. I also ordered beer cheese soup which did not taste like any beer cheese soup I have ever had. After a couple bites of both soup and sandwich $17 worth of food went into...

Something Else Deli is a GEM! This little deli is my FAVORITE lunch spot in Spokane! It's a hole in the wall with deep roots! They've been around for a while and is family owned! They truly are incredible food and their passion for serving others is present in their customer service and their SANDWICHES are HEFTY!!!

I like to consider myself a regular and enjoy the banter I have with all the employees when I visit. I can't take any photos because the sandwich is in my belly. :) Try the DEEP SEA! (current favorite) but other bangers are the Triple Treat and...
