    Good sandwiches, Quickly prepared for takeout on a weekday lunch. Just very small for the price compared to other sandwich shops we've had around the country. With 15% tip the total was $50 for 4: 1 BLT Popper 2 BLT, extra B 1 Steak Panini No sides or other items included.

    Bit of a hole in the wall. My daughter and I were passing through and gave it a shot. They were missing some ingredients, which was a bit surprising, but when we got the food we found out why nothing else mattered. Absolutely top notch sandwich that would override anything I could ever say about this place. I had the Cuban and it was the best I've had outside of Florida and it's my go-to sandwich.

    We found this place because my husbands work catered them lunch from here. He was so excited with the quality and immediately told me about how good it was. He got it another time when I was out of town and I began getting jealous. I have finally tried it and I can honestly say it was great food and I cannot wait to go back. My husband and I split the Roast Beef #1 and and Cuban Dog. Both were fresh quality ingredients and delicious. I’m so happy Wapak finally has a place to feed my cravings for a good Sammy! I am so exited to try the whole menu!

    What a hidden Gem! Had lunch with friends and we all ordered and shared our sandwiches! Every single one was amazing. Tammy was so sweet! Cookies were hot and right out of the oven.

    Wasn't sure what to get when I went in but asked the cashier what her favorite was? She said the dilly Dilly so that's what I did and it was amazing! They were quick too. Was in and out in about 10 minutes or so. Cute place. Will definitely bring clients in for lunch.

    The sandwiches are great! My son's favorite is the peanut butter jelly with apple slices. I LOVE the Roast Beef with banana peppers, red onion and horseradish sauce. The Loaded Potato soup was good too...the pork egg roll soup is UHmazing!

    Amazing gourmet sandwiches. Love their barbecue sauce and their blueberry jam and all the delicious options we've had. It's a small business with a small staff, so it does get easily busy and you might have to wait a bit but service is super friendly. And I don't mind waiting on a small business trying to survive that does it so right! Don't miss this one while in Wapak.
