Eat Sandwiches to open in Tower Grove South this October

Tower Grove South will soon have a home for deli-style sandwiches. Eat Sandwiches will open at 3148 Morgan Ford Road mid-October, as reported by the Riverfront Times.

Co-owners Byron Smith, Thomas Crone, Fred Hessel and Jeff McGraw noticed the gap in the offerings in the area. “There’s a lot of energy on the block already, but the neighborhood has been asking for something more,” Crone said.

They have been renovating the space into a 20-seat counter service deli in the last few months. “We’ve done a lot with the space,” Smith said. “It’s no longer an empty shell.”

Smith is still finalizing the menu, but he plans to serve a lunch and dinner crowd sandwich offerings like French dips. The kitchen is limited, but he hopes to roast or smoke meats in-house. Sides will include chips and possibly house-made pasta salad with fresh veggies. Pending liquor license approval, beer will also be available.

Smith said the community seemed excited for new life in the original Local Harvest Grocery space. “It gives me a charge when people come up to the window waving, wanting to talk (about the deli),” he said. “Folks seem excited about how the place is developing.”
