About

Shapiro's is a local favorite for its incredible deli sandwiches, with many calling it a St. Louis staple. While the food gets rave reviews, the customer service is polarizing. Some find the owner and staff charming and authentic, while others report feeling profiled or mistreated by specific employees. It is a classic neighborhood spot with great food but inconsistent service vibes.
