“Just amazing 👏! The food was fresh and the soup homemade. I had the chicken noodle soup and the special was Philly steak sandwich. I'm new to the area and I found a good spot for lunch. I highly recommend this place and you won't be disappointed. Trust me.”
“Absolutely a banger this place hits the spot for good ol fresh home-cooked style food. They have a full deli and a wonderful staff I live almost 20 minutes away by car and will be visiting this place at least once a week I've found my new comfort food home.”
“Great Italian sub! Nice atmosphere. I did a review for my YouTube channel "Mailman Nick"”
“I found this place because it’s close to where I work, so at lunch I headed over. I found parking in the side off side of the street, there is some other pay parking on the side of Subway. When you walk in you are in the dining area, as you head towards the back there is so much to look at! You have tables in the middle full of cookies and bread, against the wall to your right you have pastas, fridges with precooked meals, drinks, and other items for purchase. There is a chalk wall with specials and the bathrooms behind. When you get to the counter you will see the extensive menu of hot and cold sandwiches and more. You will place your order for the sandwiches there and then walk past the deli counter to pay for your sandwich. I ordered the Stegner Sandwich Half Sausage and Half Meatball. Honestly both were fantastic!! They do not cut this sandwich in half, they hallow out the middle and stuff the meat, cheese, and sauce inside! I loved it!! But I am a bread lover so I would have loved a more bread. The staff was friendly and very helpful. They said this sandwich is the most popular and I could see why. Cannot wait to go back!!”
“Ordered Italian sausage sandwich with hot peppers....no peppers and usually you get 1 link. Got 1 decent link and another that looked and tasted horrible. Very disappointed.”
“Homemade chips are awesome 😋. Soups and sandwiches are great as well. 😋”
“Phenomenal food and service! Order from them for your next catering or family dinner and you not be disappointed!”
“Awesome food. We ordered take out of 3 meatball and one beef/sausage, w side of au jus, subs. Barely made it into the house to the dining room table before the subs savory scent drove us to open and devour them!!! Um Um Um good! tasty, full of flavor and seasoning. A full size sub at a great price. Plus the folks there are courteous, fun and enjoy working there from our perspective. Highly recommend you go over and try out a sub of your choosing!”
“I never knew this place existed until three weeks ago. the service is great and they have an amazing steaky Philly!!!”
