Jeff's Table

"Jeff’s Table isn’t the first deli hidden behind a liquor store in Highland Park—they’re not even the first one to occupy the space they’re in. But hidden or not, this is one of our favorite places to get a sandwich in the neighborhood. If you’re really hungry, get the “Jeff’s Special”—hot pastrami, sauerkraut, and what’s basically a big parmesan crisp on rye—or the “Dirty Baby,” which is a turkey salad sandwich that involves housemade chili crisp, two kinds of smoked cheese, and pickled onions. Order a side of the spicy, creamy Thai peanut mac salad to balance everything all out." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins

"Highland Park sandwich shop Jeff’s Table caught my attention when they opened at the start of the year, right before the entire world came to a crashing halt. But with so many new pop-ups to check out over the last few months, I (foolishly) forgot just how good this place is. Turns out, these deli sandwiches are even better than I remembered. I still can’t pick a winner between the Hot KimCheezy - thinly sliced pork, house kimchi, and smoky melted cheese - and the Turkey Special, a Reuben with house pastrami-style turkey, sauerkraut, spicy Russian dressing, and both melted cheese and a cheese crisp. So usually, I just order both. A side of their potato salad, dressed with tobiko, wasabi, and mayo, rounds it all out perfectly. - BK" - the infatuation los angeles crew

"Jeff Strauss had a career as a television producer and writer before pursuing the art of sandwich-making inside Flask liquor store. People flock to the low-key operation for a taste of the pastrami Reuben. The hearty beast of a hot sandwich is piled high with smoky pastrami, melted Comte, sauerkraut, a house Russian dressing, and a perfect Gruyere crisp on a griddled seeded rye bread." - Eater Staff

"The Jeff’s Table and OyBar teams are collaborating on a one-day burger pop-up in Highland Park on Sunday, April 14. They’ll serve the OyBurger, which comes topped with Hoisin ketchup, tomato, cilantro, cucumber, and more, plus a pared-down basic burger." - Rebecca Roland
