I was really happy they had free coffee and water. A bit tight for sitting area but still good.My reuben melt was $12. The sandwich was very good but not amazing. Maybe the beef was less than stellar or I don’t like reubens that much? Great service.I will be back.

Good empanadas. Beef blend was better than the chicken. Solid fries. Seemed to have been fried fresh on the spot. As a New Yorker, I found the price a little high for empanadas but quality was there. If it was warm you could have eaten outside but no real inside seating. Good take out option.

Excellent sandwich and very friendly guys. Added turkey and arugula to the caprese and it was very satisfying.

No sense of urgency. It might’ve been better if there was a heads up of long wait. Only one employee cooking and focusing on a singular task. I waited over 25 minutes and I had to leave before I could even get my food or a refund. They definitely need to look for more help! Hopefully the money I donated can help hire someone else!

An easy miss when youre in Princeton due to the surrounding food joints but you NEED to stop by. Small place but vast menu of create your own sandwiches and their own specials. Go to date spot if you have a person in mind.

I love mac and cheese but wasn't aware of this place until just recently! The location is a bit hidden- you have to go around to the side of the building to enter. Not very spacious inside and the vibes are mid- more of a place to get takeout and eat outside in a park or something, in my opinion. I came ~45 min before their closetime and sadly was unable to try the chicken caesar salad (a bit unsure what the employee said for the reason but I think they were out of some ingredients?) but was still able to get a bowl of mac and cheese. There were tiny bits of peppers(?) inside, which I wasn't expecting, as well as a little bit of some red powder seasoning that was slightly spicy. I personally don't like my mac and cheese spicy (due to an unfortunately low spice tolerance) and was caught off guard (the menu just says mac and cheese), but if you're the type of person always looking to jazz up your mac and cheese in some way, this would be a great choice for you. Some of the noodles were overcooked though, and the cheese was sort of separated from the noodles instead of coating it. Overall, good overall flavor but texture was lacking. Perhaps I'll try again sometime in the future during the middle of the day when they're more active instead!

We both got the crab Mac and cheese. Spiral noodles in a bowl of crab and cheese soup. It wasn’t good. It was doughy and way too much old bay. Both of us had an upset stomach this afternoon and no other food than the lunch. We did say something and told it was a new chef. They did give one meal 1/2 off. Feeling dehydrated from all the old bay. The stomach upset will be with us for the day. Ughhh

We stopped here with our kids while strolling along Nassau on mother's day. I got the chicken caesar wrap. My kids got the Cuban and a Mac n cheese. The grilled chicken on my wrap was incredible. So flavorful and well seasoned. It was packed with fresh, beautiful lettuce and just overall delicious. I would go back for that alone. The Mac and cheese was very good and the Cuban was ?They were super nice and everything was made fresh to order. I wish we lived closer, I'd be a frequent flyer! Definitely a hidden gem!

The cubano sandwich was the worst I have ever tasted. It was swimming in mustard and the pork looked like it was shredded and old. The sandwich wasn't even warm as all cubano sandwiches need to be.

I really appreciate this place, they always served fresh and delicious food.

College town precious and rhymes with spray cheese, Say Cheez on Nassau Street in Princeton just might be an answer to a reviewers prayer looking for no degrees of separation from Cheez Whiz and the other dregs of aerosol snack food. Well, sorry to disappoint but Say Cheez is really good. Their signature grilled cheese sandwich has a respectable amount of the real moo cow cheddar and enough fresh tomato to add moisture and bring them honor. I've also had the Reuben here and enjoyed it thoroughly. As for value, the cost is astonishingly close to the cadaver-based hoagies at Subway, who I'm sure would resort to spray-on toppings if they could get away with it. Five cheezy stars.
