You won't find an impressive decor in Rae's Gourmet Sandwich Shoppe, in fact if you don't look carefully, you may not find the shop at all. Located on the basement level of an office building on Union Street, this gourmet eatery has been delighting diners for years. Cajun-style favorites like Grilled beef tenderloin, po-boys and red beans and rice offer a spicy change of pace, and the Angus Beef & Cheddar sandwich is a hearty meal for people on the run. Wash it all down with iced tea, soft drinks or a cold beer. Special note—If you love the creative varieties of Zapp's potato chips, you have found the only place in town to buy them.
