★★★★☆ 4.0 Anthony Broccolo · Jan 2026

Gave this little place a try the other day. I was not let down. All the menu items sounded great, but ultimately went for the Meaty Grilled Cheese....all I can say is Hell Yeah!!! When it was handed to me I almost dropped it because I wasn't expecting it to actually have substance. They also managed to not melt the cheese right out of the sandwich. BONUS! I probably should have saved half because I definitely wasn't very productive after lunch. Even though there were customers ahead of me the staff still took the time to acknowledge me. The line moved quickly and the food was prepared just as fast.

Very little effort made by the employees. One sandwich made completely wrong, was supposed to be a beefy Swiss and we got a brown bag. All the meat on 2 of the paninis were slapped into the center of the paninis, no toppings to the edge, with 2 slices of meat on em. If you're gonna charge 14 dollars for a sandwich the least you could do is put a little effort into making it, put some meat on it, and get the order correct. The bacon on the sandwiches was not even cooked, still a light pink color. Italian wedding soup was pretty terrible as well. On a good note the pasta salad and mac salad were good at least and so was the sub and 2 of the paninis.. nonetheless $14 for a panini with 2 slices of meat on it is criminal. Employees seemed burdened by the fact we ordered 100 dollars worth of foo

Great bang for your buck! Massive sandwiches, great sides and deserts. Staff is always welcoming and happy to serve you. All for a great price. Best sandwich shop we've found in the area.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Victoria Lacagnina · Feb 2019

This place isn't bad. It's dressed up like any other typical sandwich shop, only difference is that they have their own little ice cream/ dessert area in there that I have yet to try. I've eaten from here on three different occasions and all were good. Whenever we go in there employees are always amiable and welcoming. The menu is pretty big and has a variety of options. They have a decent selection of desserts too - cookies, ice cream, cake. The only complaint I have and the reason it is 4 stars is that I think their menu is on the pricey side. I recommend to anyone that likes subs, sandwiches and whatnot to give this place a try.

Burnt panini and sub not cut. A lot of better options out there if you’re paying $35 for two sandwiches. Pictures posted of Google Photos unable to attach them to this review.
