“Very good choices for soup salads 🥗 sandwiches 🥪 and small sides. I had the overstuffed corn beef sandwich.”

“Solid place for lunch. Can’t really create your sandwich but a lot to choose from. You feel kind of rushed but they need to keep it moving. Overall food was good. Broccoli soup was excellent. I’ll be back.”

“Come here often! They have such good sandwiches/sides for a decent price, super fast line and great customer service”

“I really like the sandwiches here, but I don’t eat sides and they force me to buy a side. It’s getting annoying trying to give away the sides as I don’t like throwing away food…. So I will limit my purchases here despite wanting to eat here more often.”

“The cheerful counter girl with vibrant hair served my food quickly, and the clean, cozy atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the delicious pumpkin roll with cream cheese, making it a delightful experience.”

“Excelente local!! Gran variedad de productos de calidad.Muy bueno el café y los croissants. Muy limpio y ordenado.La atención eficiente y rápida. Muy agradable.”
“Great delivery experience with them. Placed a huge order and called in twice to make sure everything was ok with it and the crew was extremely helpful. I always worry about big orders due to drivers leaving behind a bag or two and their managing partner, Jack, was a huge help today to make sure everything was delivered properly. If you're needing a big order for a meeting or work event definitely order here! Well worth it.”
“Accidentally ordered my sandwhich to the wrong location- they were so nice, still made it for me, and sandwhichs are always SO GOOD HERE!!”
“Great sandwich and fast service. We did not know Boar's head had restaurants.”
