Went here for the first time last night and I can’t stop thinking about the buffalo chicken sandwich and curly fries!! So yummy. The Buffalo chicken sandwich didn’t feel too heavily fried either which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere is very cute. We sat inside since it was cold but the outdoor patio looks like it would be super vibey during the late spring / summer / early fall. Will def be back!

Very pleased with Eastcut - the sandwiches are awesome, we’ve had the mozz sticks, tots, and fries and all are great. The customer service has been really good as well. Check out the drink specials and you’ll be ready to head on in! I’m vegetarian and have had both the mycoprotein and eggplant and both were fried really well. The house made sauces are delicious.

Pretty good sandwiches and fries, but the prices? Way out of line. Over $70 for 3 sandwiches and fries! And no table-service, no atmosphere. It was clean, and the staff was friendly, and they were open when we were hungry at 3PM, unlike their neighbor, Succotash Kitchen.

While the ingredients where nice the sandwiches where incredibly bland. Both the Westcut, and the Dagwood just tasted like turkey and sesame seeds. Definitely nice turkey, but there was no flavor to the sauces, and they where just way to expensive for what they where.
The curly fries where tasty, but again it did not make up for the fact that it was over $40 for a very boring lunch for two people. Not bad, but really not worth it.

Our son moved to this area and he choses the places that we should check out. The inside of the building looks like a small sandwich shop but there is a good size outdoor seating area. It is covered & is partially enclosed on the size.
The food was exceptional. My son enjoyed the steak sub and I got the daily special which was the steak sub with extra ingredients including pickled onions & additional spices. I suggest checking out their specials. Option 2 was a strong contender.
The staff was friendly & patient with us as we asked questions.

Nestled on the edge of the newly minted University Hill neighborhood lies Eastcut Sandwich Bar. A trendy little, family friendly venue with a cleverly repurposed green house covered picnic area. Bull City originals may recognize this site as the once popular Pipers Deli/Pub. Eastcuts offers top notch delicatessen sandwiches and sides. I opted for the cold cut Italian hoagie and was impressed with the sesame seeded hoagie roll. The Buffalo Cauliflower bites were spectacular and the sweet potato tots were crispy and flavorful. They offer many delicious dipping sauces that let you combine and create your own favorite flavors for dipping and dressing your sandwich. This is a casual kid friendly place and there were lots of young families enjoying the crisp Fall air on the covered patio. No matter what you like to eat you ate sure to find a menu offering that will please. The Falafel Goddess was righteous! I’m already planning another visit so I can try their Chicken Cutlet sandwich. I’ll deduct one star due to the beer selection which was neither broad nor impressive. Offer more local brews from some of Durham’s outstanding breweries and we have a winner!

I recently got the the Dagwood turkey and what can I say?!! The sesame buns are fresh - not many places carry buns / rolls like that. I got it without some of toppings it normally comes with.. the pesto, tomato and avacado shmear. The turkey is roasted in house. I can’t wait to bring my husband who is vegetarian because they have a lot of options… not just a sandwich loaded with lettuce, tomato, onions and cheese kind of thing. They have protein options of falafel, fried eggplant cutlet and or an impossible burger. I’ve had their befall cauliflower and homemade mozzarella sticks before. Both are great. The last time I was there, was during the pandemic when I think they still served bergers (I wish they’d bring those back) since they have fries and sweet potato tots. I feel like those belong more with a burger but just my opinion. Their burgers used to be great… You can’t go wrong here. Great options and the prices are reasonable!!

This place is rockstar. The sandwiches are unique, fresh, tasty and huge with lots of options to customize and make it your own. The sides are plentiful and everything is always well made and on time. Well worth the trip for us to visit this place regularly.
