I got a large chicken pesto sub. I figured for $2 more than the small I’d have a little leftover. I didn’t realize it would be as long as my arm! The bread was fresh with a nice crunch. The sub was so full it was almost bursting and it’s all white meat chicken. Pesto sauce was real tasty too and not over saturated. I feel like you should always get a large since it’s essentially an extra sub for $2 more. My picture is 1/4 of the sub and it looks like half of one I get from other places. I’ll definitely be back!

My first meal in Boston in years, and it was pretty solid. This place just feels Boston- lots of sports/other city references.
Food was alright- my sandwich was very filling but could’ve used some more seasoning. Really affordable and I was full afterwards though.

Why would the girl come sweeping as I’m eating. That isn’t sanitary. And when I said something she continued sweeping and flinging floor dirt everywhere! I spent $21 for my food. I would have loved to eat it without someone sweeping near me as I eat and flinging dirt across the room. Insane. What happened to customer service. A. U don’t sweep while people are eating. B. When someone speaks on it STOP SWEEPING! What a jerk.

Best sandwiches in Boston. Best value for the money. They do it right. Every single time. Tons of ingredients. Packed solid. Great bread. 11/10

Epic sandwiches. Great ingredients, especially the bread. Truly insane portions, like two meals for sure. The pastrami is awesome but there are many gems on the menu. Always busy with folks getting lunch from the neighborhood but always fast.

Tried this sandwich place for the first time and it was solid. Definitely a fair price for what you get ($13.50 for a small sandwich + chips + drink). I just thought the sandwiches were a bit one note and lacked intense flavor. This is when I think about the idea of having salt, fat, acid, and heat. The subs were definitely hot coming out of the oven! But for example, for the steak sub we got, it definitely needed more cheese and marinara sauce. Chicken pesto was decent though and the bread they use is stellar!

The large size subs are huge. I really liked the bread, which was lighter and softer than I thought it would be.

We walked into a cold and empty location and were greeted by an employee who was handling food. He came to the register to take my husband’s order while still wearing the same gloves he had been using to prepare food. The employee then went to the back to grab the bread to make our sandwich and, still wearing those same gloves, wiped a bread knife on the side of a trash can before using it to cut our sandwich bread . My husband immediately told him to cancel the order, as it was one of the most unsanitary things we have ever witnessed.
