Uptown Provisions — Restaurant in Whittier

Split four different sandwiches between my buddy, myself and his kiddo. They. Were. Delightful. Flavorful, filling, and worth every penny and moment.

We tried the following and will be back for more:

1/ The Italian-ish = 4.8/5 will eat again. Reminiscent of your favorite Italian sammy leaving you wanting more after every bite. If the basil isn’t slapped, you betta ask somebody (to slap it for you). 2/ The Spicy Gabagool = 5/5 so full of sweet heat and flavor, you’ll wish you’d ordered two of these thangz. I almost felt bad for eating most of this one..almost, but not really. 3/ Prime Rib & BBQ Brisket = 4.7/5 damn good and if I hadn’t ordered the others, it would be a full 5/5 but hey, comparison is the thief of joy so I’m stealing some joy here and giving it to the other sandwiches. 4/ Smoked Pastrami Reuben = 5.5/5 it broke the scale by (sand)wich we measure these bites. The sauerkraut & 999 dressing really tied the room together. I could have eaten three of these without even realizing it or breaking stride. Holy smokes, sign me up for this again.

Highly recommend you try it out here. The bread is of the highest quality and you won’t leave even a single crumb. Friendly staff and atmosphere, vibes set with good tunes, and it’s also dog-friendly which was nice and appreciated so that I could bring my wolf with me. The aforementioned awesome staff included a lovely person who asked if my pup Falkor would like a pork treat that was house made. So kind! He loved it and wasted no time proving it and showing his appreciation.

The owner, Aaron, walked around and chatted with everyone. He was affable and kind. Gave us some cool details about how they work with their baker and was just a very cool and kind human. We’re now big fans.

Give it a try and let me know if you enjoyed! Hope the images and recommendations are...

Wrote this review on Yelp, and it still stands. Uptown is still the best in town...

I've grown up with Italian delicatessen, but to each their own when it comes to taste. If anything, quality in a sandwich can be seen with regard to bread and the various condiments. Enter Uptown Provisions and you will find a small shop serving delightful creations throughout.

Service is spot on. I never had the feeling a person would care so much about making a sandwich to a standard, but here we are. While shuffling about the store, to see all the neat small batch items, one can glance to the assembly area and see their order being carefully prepared. I've worked with highly knowledgeable bike mechanics who were not this meticulous.

My only gripe about Uptown Provisions is the parking. It's not the best, but I come from a school of convenience. There is plenty of open space around the area, but storefront parking can be difficult to come by. Prices are high (in my opinion) but the quality is worth it!

If you are in the mood for an amazing sandwich experience, then make a trip toward uptown. You won't be...

Saw this place on social media and it looked really good. Went out of my way to try this place. About half hour out I placed my order ahead of time. Thought based off the reviews I might wait a little awhile but I was wrong 2 hrs from when I placed my order online did I get my sandwiches. The service up front was saving grace for this place because not only did they not have ac while you were waiting for your order but for some reason people I saw order after me got their food before me. I don’t know if they have different people making online orders over in person orders but this experience was enough for me to judge the food a bit differently. Is it worth the wait and high price? In my opinion it is not , good sandwich but not great. In my opinion it’s not worth a two hour wait. Also it is not worth the price. If you are in the area it’s worth a try but if you’re driving out of the way I don’t...
