Shorty's Deluxe

This new sandwich shop has just opened in the Delray section of Alexandria. The sandwich shop has muffuleta inspired sandwiches that are named after a punk rock band the Ramones.There are seven sandwiches and they have some that are vegetarian friendly. The sandwiches are available in 1/2, 1/8 and 1/4 inch sizes. You can also take home a whole round size sandwich.If sandwiches are not your thing, you can try one of their 7 salad options. Again they have vegetarian options. During my visit I tried the Marky sandwich and the Gabba Gabba salad. The sandwich was delicious and flavorful. I was not able to finish the salad but it was delicious as well! The dressing is already mixed in the salad.I will definitely be back to try out other sandwich options. I also saw on the menu that they have two soup options. The shop has a small seating area if you prefer to eat there.

Excellent sandwiches! They're like a muffaletta served on a focaccia - delicious! I had the ''Joey" which is like an Italian sub, and the chicken & rice soup, will definitely come back. The woman behind the counter, Salema, was awesome, too! Explained everything to me and was an overall bright spot in my day!

Can't wait to make this my new post-church lunch spot! Absolutely delicious sandwiches with perfect bread and some of the best soup I've ever had (seriously, I don't know WHAT they're putting in the chicken and rice soup but it's something special). Add in super friendly staff and this is a no brainer! Great addition to the Del Ray neighborhood. My only regret is that I couldn't try their cookies since they didn't have any available the day I went. Need to come back to see if they're on par with the rest of the menu!

Pricing is a bit of a sticker shock for a sandwich. Paid nearly $20 after tax for two extremely small sandwiches (added together equivalent in size to what I'd consider one normal portion.) They even raised prices by a dollar since opening judging by the signage? Maybe par for the course for Del Ray now a days, but I wouldn't opt for this over "cheaper" places.

The salad was fantastic ... 54and 3rd... but there was hardly any meat on sandwiches and slim toppings 90% bread. the bread was pretty tasty. he had muffaletta and turkey the soup was ok... service was good but slow!
