“SHIRLEY has been a bright light in my life since it opened a few doors down from me. Kat is a one woman show and cares deeply about where food comes from & her customers!! Her menu is based on fruits and veg that are in season, and rotates frequently. Whenever I come in to pick up an order, she always takes the time to point out new vegan items on the menu, tell me about her plans, and even chat for a few minutes, all while she's prepping orders. The bread is famous for a reason. It's versatile and so comforting! SHIRLEY is adventurous and delicious and is a great place to go for veg folks bringing along non - veg friends. happycow only allows 5 stars for full vegan/veg restaurants, so don't let the 4 stars fool you. And don't forget the pickles and your fun drink! Vegan Faves: - Tofu Banh Mi (my favorite sandwich) - Sweet potato black bean torta - Eggplant sesame sandwich - PICKLES!!! my fave pickles - in the spring there was this asparagus sandwich… yum - Chocolate chip cookies!!! - Tomato soup - Almost all (if not all) drinks are made w oat milk - Chocolate hazelnut spread Updated from previous review on 2024-02-15“
“Happened upon the Square Deli when a friend were in Chelsea for a medical test. OMGOODNESS. It was amazing. The menu was huge and so were the sandwiches. We had a Reuben and Paisano with lotsa fresh ingredients including yummy fresh bread. Served with homemade chips and pickles. Enough for 2 meals or to split if we agreed on the sandwich, lol. The owner was SO nice and friendly and accommodating. We opted for take out containers for another meal and the chocolate chip (homemade & huge) again with a great balance of soft in the middle and crispy on edges. They have been working on their cookies for a while, so they say, I think it's by far the best cookie I have ever had! hopefully don't have to go back for medical tests but would definitely field trip for their pizza next which has won many awards.“
“The Best Sandwich Company definitely lives up to their reputation!!The shop is very clean!The owners are super friendlyThe sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients and they are HUGE!They have delicious homemade soup every day,And also have delightful salads for a healthier option.I will definitely be a regular at the Best sandwich company!!“

You name it they have it! ?Vegetarian options: Just ask....they have many options.?Dietary restrictions: Same as aboveKid-friendliness: ?? ✌️ Children are welcome. Safe environment.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Honestly still in shock. Just went here today for the first time. A great sandwich for under $15 AND in Kendall Square/Cambridge? Amazing.Update:I wrote this review halfway through my sandwich because it was so good and I needed people to know. Now that I'm done I'm left wanting more. Thanks for the great lunch!“
“Love this place! The chicken pesto Panini is my absolute go-to—it's so flavorful and satisfying. The customer service here is top-notch too. The owner is super friendly, always greets me by name, and makes me feel right at home. It's those personal touches that keep me coming back for more!“
“Visited this place on a sunday and was not disappointed! It runs like a well oiled machine. We got hot lobster rolls and the chowder. It was wonderful. The owner came out and made sure our sandwiches were on point, replacing one (fried fish) that was a little bit overcooked. He came back multiple times to make sure we all loved our food. This is a guy that really cares about his place. Definitely go here if you are visiting. Five stars definitely“
“As always our meal at Dovetail was spot on. I had the snapper and my wife the scallops. Bother dishes were thoughtfully prepared, attractive and very tasty. We've been fans for years and have never been disappointed in our meals at Dovetail or their sister restaurant, Brewers Fork.“
“Everyone has been raving about this place so while I was getting a sticker across the street I went in and got a small Italian. It is very hard to get a real Italian Sub anymore. This sandwich was amazing and their bread tasted very good. I ate half of it there and took the other half home. While I was eating the owner gave me a small piece of Sicilian pizza and a meatball to try out! They make their own meatballs. Both were great. I can't wait to go back and I will definitely be ordering take out from them.Parking: There are a few spots in front. The parking lot is behind the building.“
“If you want to pick up a sub that you'll definitely won't be able to finish it and it will be out of this world go there I highly recommend that you experience the same experience I had my first time only for it to get better 2024“
“OMG, The italian sub is full and I mean full of top quality meats. If you order a large you can not finish it in 1 sitting. I always thought New Deal in Revere set the bar on Italian subs but Anthonys takes the prize on this one. PS. I heard the eggplant parm sub is also the best you ever had! Worth the drive from any where!“
“I love going alone and with friends/family. The store is very welcoming and has amazing decor. Both the sandwich’s and ice cream are amazing in my experience. Prices are reasonable Very thankful to have such a lovely place in Reading :)Vegetarian options: I get a veggie sandwich, I don’t believe there is a vegetarian protein option. Person working there was very kind to make sure not to charge me for meat as the “make your own sandwich” option automatically adds a meat charge.“
“The 2 dudes behind the counter were working so freaking hard to get orders out. I felt so bad, made me want to apron up and help! They had a good number of tickets, people walking in, and the other customers were getting annoyed, maybe not verbally, but the symphony of sighs spoke volumes. Get them more help, cause they definitely needed atleast one more person. I'm a General Manager and it was lowkey upsetting to watch them get wrecked like that.Foods always amazing!!! I don't mind waiting for a sandwich!!! Best of luck 2 dudes working hard!!“
“Came here early in the morning, got quick, polite and friendly service. I got a classic breakfast sandwich with bacon - 8/10 recommend (not quite enough bacon for my taste). Also got a hot latte that I enjoyed. Staff was very nice and happy to give recommendations and advice.“
“No soup/sandwich shop compares in terms of price per quality, portion size, and different options in the area. I only started ordering from here about 2 weeks ago and I’ve now had 7 different kinds of soups and 4 different kinds of sandwiches - after the first order I started ordering two soups and a sandwich aka a soup to save for later because they’re just that good, every one of them. Price is so very reasonable and depending on which combo you get you can make out with a full sized sandwich and large sized homemade soup for ~$14.While it’s hard to recommend one thing over another in this circumstance since it’s all been great in their own ways, the Chicken Chowder is something I plan on getting a quart of next time it’s available. The Chicken Barley and Chicken Lemon Rice are ones I plan on getting quarts of in the future as well, and that’s not to discount the Chicken Noodle, Beef and Veg Noodle Stew, French Onion, and the current seasonal Chilled Gazpacha (which I probably wouldn’t have even tried it wasn’t from these guys). It’s all top quality.The Chicken Tarragon sandwich is my favorite in terms of sandwiches although it can’t combo with a soup as of now (please let us!). The best cheap soup combo sandwich is a tossup between the Cilantro Tuna and Ciabatta Sandwich, which are both incredible in their own ways.The only few drawbacks to this place are they don’t have every soup they make every day, are only open until 4PM, and aren’t open on the weekends. That said it’s worth it to plan accordingly for this. I never review anything but this place is worth it - it’s the best if you’re a soup and sandwich person like I am.“
“My aunt gave me her leftover fries I didn’t even order from here-so I got them after she finished her meal and couldn’t finish the fries-and it was a small so that tells you how big a small is-and let me tell you they were the BEST fries I’ve ever had. Not a single one was overdone or inedible or even ugly-they were all crispy and delicious-that’s a difficult thing to achieve-crispy fries 30 min after leaving the counter! If their fries are good I can only assume the rest is too! My aunts been a customer for years I only wish she shred her fries with me a long time ago!“
“We were hangry for sure -- so understand that anything would have been tasty at this point.But this simple pastrami and cheese sandwich felt like something my dad would prepare when I was a kid and hungry. Needless to say, I LOVED it.I would recommend this to literally anybody who loves the savory taste of pastrami.“
“Best breakfast place in all of Massachusetts I'd say. So many different varieties of sandwhiches and subs I haven't tried any so far that I've disliked. My favorite menu items are the bacon bboy and the clogger. The sauce that comes with these sandwiches the jacobs river is actually fuckin fire I could prolly drink that shit . Definitely recommend. Workers are dawgs nice people. No complaints. Bussin“
“Gotta' love Papa Gino's !! Best of all is going to Main St. Stoneham location & enjoying warm, friendly, & efficient service every time I go...KUDOS!!I find It's unusual to have great customer experience in most dining chains, but the employees @Stoneham bring in a nice neighborhood feel!“
“I got a flatbread chicken chipotle and a mango strawberry smoothie. Food is delicious, atmosphere right and this is the first place that has asked me if I'd like my smoothie made with WATER or MILK. Alot of places don't ask that. I will return again.“
“Had a great time here! Food was delicious and service was kind, helpful, and timely. The big poutine was larger than I expected! Delicious and I definitely ate the whole thing ? My friends all loved what they got, everyone was satisfied, the crowd was pleased.“
“I went there for dinner with my family. We ordered combo beef with onion rings . They were so juice tender and perfectly cooked. The size was more than generous . Onion rings were crispy and home made.The stuff was very friendly and welcoming.It’s the best place if you are looking for delicious food and nice environment.Highly recommended“
“This is what other Subways hope to be! The location was clean, organized, and showroom ready! The staff was fantastic! Making my food exactly the way I like it, I've had other Subways that have left me wanting more. The only thing this Subway has left me wanting is one like this near my home! Excellent work to everyone who made this location as great as it is!!!“
“There was a version of the Lake that had a much different flavor 30 years ago. It was an Italian enclave, with a history that is very much different than the rest of Newton. Nonantum, or "The Lake," was the village with the oldest synagogue. It was right down the street from a Catholic church that, in my opinion, has an interior that has made me cry over the sheer artistic splendor of it.Tradition still plays a large part in this changing neighborhood, and it is finely displayed in this small sub shop on Watertown St. Like the old days, food prices were lower and food portions were a bit larger, and Guiseppe's does not try and overwhelm the customer with grandiose decor or expensive decorations, they are here to make you a sandwich or a salad.My honest recommendation is to go to Guiseppe's, and learn a little about the duality of this wonderful neighborhood. Sample the simpler part of the Lake and remember to leave a nice cash tip, because you're getting a lot of value out of the hard work of the owners!“
“We got there at close to closing, as we had been shopping all day and needed supper. I had told my bf how great Papa Ginos was and if it's open we need to go. (We are from Canada, but Papa Ginos has always been a stop in my visits)The lady working was soo friendly and turned out a pizza quickly. Crust was amazing, as was the sauce. Toppings were slightly space but over all an amazing pizza. Thanks for the great pizza and service“

“The subs are really good. The bread is soft baked. We got the steak and cheese, grilled chicken, and the Mediterranean with falafel in it. The highlight for me was the cinnamon bun though. It was one of the best cinnamon buns I've ever had store bought. Soft baked, nothing crispy or dry, generous amount of frosting. Could use more cinnamon sugar mix, but still, the best.“
“Tried for the first time and overall enjoyed the experience.Drinks: Mocha was well balanced and tasty.Sandwiches: Got the Darwin’s Mt. Auburn (turkey sandwich) and Strawberry Hill (beets sandwich). Both tasted good but were pretty messy to eat. They seemed a little hastily made (ie: bread toasted but cheese was not melted) and fell apart easily. People complain the sandwiches were too small, but I disagree. The Darwin’s was massive and the Strawberry Hill was a normal portion that would leave you satisfied.Atmosphere: cozy cafe vibes on one side.Prices: Felt a little high for lunch sandwiches but experience was positive enough that I felt like I’d gotten good value.Would return!“
“This is one of the finest Cheese steaks North of Philadelphia. My favorite being the fully loaded Philly Cheese steak. The fries are excellent as well. I can get what is called a Steak Bomb near me but they do not compare to Charlies's in the Manchester NH mall. It's well worth the 25 minute drive passing by all those Steak Bombs on the way.“
“Simply the best! The Little Blue Bakery was the talk of the party for my daughters Graduation Party. Not only is the food cart ridiculously charming, the food, drinks, and coffee were such a hit. I loved working with Hannah and didn’t realize all her treats are HOME MADE. I was so happy to have discovered this hidden gem and to introduce @thelittlebluebakery to Metro West.“
“I live in Lynn, and work in the Airline industry. Buying lunch at work is way too expensive and way too little for the amount of money you spend. So when my granddaughter, JAH’NYAH introduced me to Super7, their open kitchen and cleanliness of the restaurant, coupled with their kindhearted servers got me! So I began to stock up on my Super 7 Salads ? and take one with me for each workday of the week! Not only are their salads tastier, they are much more affordable and I get more for my money! Plus, I LOVE THE FRESHNESS!!! And I recommend Super 7, wholeheartedly. Marcia H“
“I used go to there in the 1980s when I was in high school. Just went there today after 35 years to show my daughter and still the best deli. The store is now much bigger than it was 35 years ago with a lot more variety of things. So happy it is still there.“
“Their brick and mortar location is perfect. Everything on the menu is lights out and their specials are always outstanding...plenty of parking as well and the staff couldn't be friendlier. Easily my favorite breakfast spot in Charlestown, where everywhere else is crowded, generic and overpriced.“
“Our event was amazing, all thanks to the team at Simple Fare! Maeghan and Michael took care of everything and were incredibly accommodating and helpful. There were no questions that they couldn't answer, and they worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors. All of the food was delicious, and I truly can't recommend them enough. We will go to them for all of our future events!“
“Great food, friendly service. You might think subs, but I've done nothing but work my way through all the great "Spanish" items: tacos, burritos, pupusas, empanadas and chicharron, which is like a super-charged bacon. :) Love their tacos al pastor as well! Also "Salvadoran enchiladas", which might be thought of as deluxe tostadas. Small set of tables to dine there if you want, but I've only gotten mine to go.“
“There's a special thing about the highway stretching the length of Saugus, MA. There's food from every chain or stand-alone kitchen you can find and yet one side of the highway has always held my attention more than the other. I've never eaten at a Jersey Mikes before. So my girlfriend and I finally went the other night after I saw a trending Instagram post with a guy explaining how to make the best combo sandwich on the menu and where to substitue for other ingredients or modify "Mike's Way" (several staple toppings). I've heard and tried so many of these posts or Top 10 lists on the best sandwiches in and around Boston. It's nothing new to me and I try not to pass on a chain because of its namesake. So we go in to try it, judge it, and move on with our evening. Unfortunately, things didn't go exactly as planned. The staff knew exactly what I was going for, the influencer sharing the secret sandwich, and even catered some finishing dipping sauces just before we sat down to dine in. The scene was set for a decent meal. So I took my first bite, sat with it for a moment and then looked over at her. We hardly spoke the rest of our meal. I'll leave you here to say that this sandwich has caused some problems for us. We're now struggling to decide which day and routine were breaking to squeeze in a weekly trip to Mike's. Yeah, it was that good.“
“100/10 would recommend this place! The workers are great and really make sure to stuff every piece of lettuce and toppings that you get back into the sandwich. The food making station is clean and the workers make sure to switch gloves and wash the knifes between the sandwiches.“
“Had a great experience ordering lunch for the office. Everything was well packaged and labeled and they were accommodating of allergies. Food arrived a little ahead of schedule and the driver was friendly and communicative. The subs are huge. The large could very easily feed 2-3 people. The bread is fresh and has a nice crusty texture. They missed one of my toppings, but not a big deal. Overall solid place for a sub and a good price point.“
“I looked online to see if there was still a Tony Lena's around. I came across Lena's. We ordered an Italian and a ham and cheese. This was exactly what we were looking for. The sandwiches were delicious! Their sub rolls are different from most of the traditional sub shops. Soft bread, fresh meat and veggies. We had a great convo with the woman working while we waited. This will be the ONLY place we will be getting subs from moving forward. We are so delighted we took the drive over to check out Lena's. There is a hardware shop attached and it's adorable. Their out door flowers and plays for sale were beautiful. Someone was buying chickens!“
“Was working in the area one day and I saw this place , I was hungry so I figured I would stop in. It turns out this place is a hidden gem disguised as a roast beef shop. The owners are Greek, and being from NY , and a bit of a food snob, I know from experience that Greek restaurant owners make some of the most delicious food you ever taste. I ordered a gyro , boom blown away. I haven't tasted a gyro this good since I left NY then years ago. This is the real thing.“
“Second time ordering a sandwich from here and once again it was EXCELLENT! I got the island jerk chicken melt this time, 10/10 would recommend. Delivery was quick. Sandwich was $16, good size, came with pickle and coleslaw, I feel that the value is excellent for the quality of the sandwich. Absolutely would recommend All Star Sandwich Bar and would order from here again.“
“I very rarely tip at chain takeout places, but the gentleman working today certainly earned an exception. Just a very pleasant and friendly demeanor that put a big smile on my face as he was serving me. I wasn't able to catch his name but if a manager notices this, check the time stamp of this review and who was working at the time. Say something nice for me, would ya?Parking: It's a Walmart. It's always mobbed.“
“Rare 5 Star Review - Fantastic Subs Setup: Small old beaten looking school sandwich shop with many specialty sandwich combinations. This is a rare 5 star review for an indiscript sandwich shop serving what might be the best Italian Sub I have ever eaten. Top quality Italian meats sliced perfectly thin and assembled on a perfect sub roll with veggie and hots marinaded in a tangy vinegar dressing. I really don't know how it could be made any better. You wouldn't even believe when you see the place that they create sandwiches this good. It's ridiculous. I saw them making other sandwiches with chicken cutlets and they looked amazing too. An absolute must stop, but beware of the parking situation. It's tight around this neighborhood. Thanks“
“I have to say my favorites are chick,broccoli &cities w/Alfredo. Grilled ham&cheese w/tomato and super beef w/ attached sauce & mayo. Delivery is always about 15-20mins so everything is hot and customer service is top notch! I highly recommend Kippos I'd say It's the best in Wakefield by far! Prices are fair as well if you haven't tried them yet make sure you do! ??❤️“
