About Vic's Chadstone

Equal parts bespoke butcher and old-school sandwich counter, Vic's Chadstone turns serious cuts into fast diner luxury. The setup pairs dry-ageing cabinets with a flat-top grill. Regulars slide onto the counter stools for the Reuben—piled thick with tender pastrami, melted Swiss, and just enough sauerkraut to let the beef lead. Butchers slice custom steaks straight from the cold room on request, or griddle up hot mortadella rolls and Cubanos with crisp pickles while you wait.

  • Standout Reuben: Toasted with juicy pastrami, Swiss cheese, and balanced sauerkraut alongside table hot sauce.
  • Custom Butcher Trims: Skilled counter staff cut roasts and steaks straight from back cold storage to order.
  • Dual Butcher & Deli Setup: A full-service butcher with dry-ageing room running alongside a hot lunch sandwich bar.

  • Custom Cold-Room Slicing on Demand

    If a customer cannot find the exact cut needed on display, butchers promptly slice and portion cuts directly from the cold storage fridge.

    No drama we’ll get it from the fridge and cut what you want. All with a smile.

  • Artisanal Hot Sandwich Perfection

    The Reuben delivers warm, generous layers of juicy pastrami balanced precisely with cheese and pickles for a deeply satisfying hot lunch.

    Best Reuben I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of them! They nailed the ratio by not killing it with the sauerkraut, and the temperature was spot on.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality and artisanal butchery touches that elevate a deli and butcher run

  • Custom Cutting Directly from Cold Storage

    If a specific cut is not visible in the front display cabinet, butchers will retrieve meat directly from the back fridge and cut it to your exact specifications on demand.

  • Guided Butcher Consultations

    Butchers take time to talk through different meat cuts and their culinary benefits, ensuring customers feel entirely confident in what to take home.

  • Personal Recommendations from the Chef

    Chefs and front counter staff frequently offer passionate, tailored dish suggestions, such as matching specific specialty sandwiches to diner tastes.

  • Table-Side Hot Sauce Pairing

    Tables provide dedicated bottles of hot sauce so guests can easily adjust the heat and kick of rich pastrami and meat sandwiches to taste.

Before you head over

Practical guidance for dining at the deli counter and shopping the butcher cabinets

  • Arrive Early for Seating

    Counter stools fill up rapidly during peak times and weekends; arrive before the lunch rush if you plan to eat your sandwich on-site rather than takeaway.

  • Request Bespoke Cuts

    Ask the butchers if you require a specific cut or thickness not currently visible in the display cabinet, as they can retrieve and slice directly from the cold storage.

  • Stock Up on Napkins

    Hot sandwiches like the signature pastrami Reuben are notoriously juicy and rich—grab extra napkins and check out the table hot sauce before tucking in.
