They were great when they were in the old district the tobacco warehouse district. They were really good. Look at their sandwiches now though yesterday I got a sandwich a BLT would you believe they forgot the bacon and this is the lettuce they put on the sandwich.

It has been years since I went and this was the first time at their new location. I guess it's fine for those who want to just shop or grab and go. However our group was looking forward to sitting and enjoying our meal together similar to how it was in the old place. Seating is very limited , also while familiar entrees remain, you no longer get the included side options. Also they no longer have the gingerbread type cookies from years ago. I guess that piece of nostalgia is gone.

Delicious sandwiches served up in this swanky, upscale gift shop. They don't skimp on the sandwich fillings, either. Very bright and has plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating.

the best sandwiches in the triangle, hands down. I love no. 11 (egg salad), no. 22 (turkey and havarti - pictured), and no. 23 (grilled pimento cheese - pictured). they are absolute whoppers and always so fresh and so tasty. the staff are all very lovely and even during the lunch rush the sandwiches are quick to come out.

I love Parker and Otis sandwiches! They are great as a boxed meal for work events, but their shop is cute and there are lots of outdoor seating options on the American Tobacco campus! Great spot for lunch and I like that they have espresso and coffee options!
