Very casual place established in 2019 but has a feel of being there forever. Counter ordering, some simple seating, and Italian mafia inspiration. We arrived at 6:40 pm and ordered The Hideout Eggplant panini, The Godfather prime rib sangwich, the Underboss chicken BLT, and an antipasto. The owner was concerned our order would take over an hour to make. Sandwiches take a half hour to cook and he can only cook one at a time. So don't come here in a rush, unless you pre-order. At first, I felt the owner wasn't very hospitable...but after our order was submitted, he was chatty with us. I think his charm includes the disgruntled, but friendly vibe. Despite us sitting at a table, he delivered our food to go. Since he closes at 7:30, I think he may have been eager to close. We took advantage of the nice weather and found a picnic table to enjoy the food. The biggest hits were the Underboss and the antipasto. None of the kids liked the eggplant (but that was my favorite). The prime rib had mushrooms and spicy peppers. Kids also enjoyed the glass bottle soda options and all went with a root beer.

Great food and great prices for smaller, hidden gem on Delaware. It is about as personal and casual an eatery you will find.

Literally, figuratively, and in reality this is the best sandwich place I've ever been to in the 60 years I've been on the Earth. I had the Panini with salami, mozzarella cheese, and homemade pickled eggplant. If you've never had homemade pickled eggplant, this is amazing stuff just like my mothers ...run, don't walk to this place. Order sandwiches with pickled eggplant.!! Try it you'll never go back it's never been seen in Buffalo outside of Italian peoples homes. Go try it it's fabulous.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Joe is friendly and talks to you like he has known you for years, tells you about the sandwiches. Blonde Bombshell is my favorite! I wish I had known of this place years ago! My grandparents would have loved it! I order multiple times a week, and the stuffed pepper soup is the best!!

Thought I'd found a great place, but can't deal with snark or machismo.

Decided to stop here with my daughter sunce we were coming back from Childrens hospital. Wow, im impressed. The sandwiches were amazing. I got the sausage and my daughter had the meatball. Even more impressive is the staff. The lady that took my order was very nice, but then i got to talk to Joe as well. What a nice, down to earth, hard working, normal guy. He personally made sure we liked our food, and I even had a nice chat with him. Its extremely rare ro have an owner interact with his customers like that. I only wish i didnt live 40 minutes away, id eat there all the time. Great prices too!

I've only had delivery from Joes, and over a 2 or so years, have had a couple different things. Always great! But, the thing that has now gotten me to be my "only" from now on was discovering they have Muffaletta! It's described on the menu as follows "A 10-inch round roll with turkey, ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato and onion, sweet and hot peppers with chili mayo." Calling this a roll is kind of misleading. It's like a cross between a soft pita and a sliced flat bread. Nothing else like it. And so delicious! The amount of meat is extremely generous. The pepper spread is perfect and the chili mayo taste tops off this amazing sandwich. It is so huge, it can be 4 meals for one person, or 2 meals for 2 people. I'd gone to places many times that had Muffaletta, though it's not easy to find! Some places have gone out of business. Some have it only as a special. Some have just removed it. So, whenever I see it, and see it served on that special "roll", I'm excited!!! The classic muffaletta should have an olive tampenade, but with that great pepper spread, the olives aren't missed. Love love love it!
