I had a great casual lunch with my family today at a deli in Sandy Springs. The restaurant is called R/J Casuals and it’s in a strip mall at 8540 Roswell Road. It’s right next door to where the old Diggers sports bar used to be.
The strip mall and deli are very nondescript. The inside is utilitarian, just the basics, but a great spot for a quality sandwich. To be honest, I would never have noticed the place had I not been to the mall for other reasons. I saw a bunch of Sandy Springs cops eating there and figured they would know about the good eats.
It’s one of the best sandwich shops in metro Atlanta. I think what makes the spot is the fact one of the partners is a professional baker and the other does the cooking. They make all their own bread and roast a lot of their own meats. I really like the fact they had Portuguese roles. That coupled with high quality meats makes for some great sandwiches. They also have some awesome desserts. There is a true homemade vibe that permeates the place.
I had the turkey melt on focaccia bread which was outstanding. My husband had some homemade roast beef on a fresh baked Portuguese roll which he said was really great.
If you’re up in Sandy Springs check it out sometime.
