After years of delays, Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are finally opening their sandwich shop Something About Her.
The new West Hollywood eatery held its soft launch on Friday night and a bevy of stars from the Bravo world and the Vanderpump universe were on hand to help the ladies celebrate.
Andy Cohen stopped in, which appeared to surprise Katie and Ariana. VPR alum Stassi Schroeder and her husband Beau Clark also popped in to show their support.
Kristen Doute, formerly of VPR and currently of The Valley, was in attendance with her co-star Janet Caperna. Katie's mom Teri Maloney and Ariana's boyfriend Daniel Wai also showed their support.
The sandwich shop has been in the works for more than two years and it will finally make its grand opening on May 22 at 10am at its location at 649 N Robertson Boulevard.

The interior of the shop may look familiar to romantic comedy fans.
'It was designed by Jon Hutman, who is Nancy Meyers' production designer. Huge flex,' Katie shared in a video clip for Bravo.
'That was the whole inspiration of this sandwich shop in general. We wanted it to feel like main-character energy in a rom-com.'
Ariana explained: 'We also wanted it to feel like us. We wanted it to feel very California yet European,' while Katie added: 'California country meets European cafe.'
On May 16, Katie shared a photo of the restaurant and declared, 'We have an awning!,' revealing that they got permission to put the bright and cheery yellow and white awning back up.
One co-star who didn't show up (besides their exes Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz) was Lala Kent. Katie and Lala had it out on the Vanderpump Rules season 11 reunion.
Lala alleged that Katie had talked off-camera before the season about how Ariana 'abandoned her in the sandwich shop' and 'wasn't caught up on her rent for the sandwich shop.'
Katie admitted she did wish Ariana would have given her a little notice about going New York City to star in a Broadway show.
Lala said Katie made her look like the enemy.
'I think there were a few people sitting up here that were living in the comments section all the livelong season,' Lala said. 'Katie's one of them.'
Andy asked if she thought their reaction was how the viewers were reacting to them.
'It's no secret that Ariana is a fan favorite, right?' Lala said. 'You don't f*** around with that. And I understand that.'
