Fast Food Restaurants near Essex

“Had a long horrible day. Drove my bicycle to Old Saybrook to secure a hacked bank account.
Actually got a ride back to Scotch Plains Tavern by the Awesome police force in Old Saybrook.
These guys are great!
Ended up at Essex Plaza across from the minivan which currently is my mode de transport.
Stopping at this Subway was nothing short of amazing.
The wonderful woman working there, Sabel, gifted me with a rood beer and allowed me to plug my EcoFlow River 2 into the power outlet. Even though it was only for about a half hour, the power bank now provides me with enough juice to leave this review.
The place is clean, smells great and althout very small provides a fantastic atmosphere of honest caring.
Felt 100% at home in this tiny restauraunt.
Would endorse this place without any doubt of the consideration of the wonderful people who work there.
If you dig Subway food, then this place will satisfy you.
Have a great weekend!

“great beer selection and bar food is unique and creative“

“Love this place. It’s located in a really cool spot at a triangular spot between two roads . Easy parking access if not too crowded. My car just can’t seem to pass the place without stopping in and I have to take a break with a Blizzard.“

“Very BEST Dairy Queen in the whole world!!!! ❤️🍦❤️“

“The crew today Were outstanding February 22, 2026 Around 1:30 PM
I am A experienced manager with different qualifications under my belt and I have to say their communication, Work ethic, and customer service and working as a team what’s outstanding! I know this because I sat there and ate my food and observed them working the whole time. Great job guys.“

“had it for the first time the other night and it was absolutley amazing. i would 100% recomend to anyone who hasnt tried it!“

“Excellent Experience. Stopped at that Subway to buy myself and 2 workers lunch on the way back from a job. The 2 ladies working were very friendly, polite and attentive. The elder of the 2 who had taken care of me made a great wrap suggestion and the food was great. Besides the friendly staff there are chairs outside to sit in which was great on such a nice day.“

“The environment is very clean and great, and even the outside of the shop is very pleasant with clean and great table and chair arrangements for evenings in the open air.
Most importantly, the management and employees are very friendly and great.
I have been there several times for lunch and dinner, they are very good.“

“I always look forward to stopping by this Subway after my nursing clinicals, and a big reason why is for the gentlemen John who works there. He’s consistently upbeat, friendly, and genuinely kind to everyone who walks in. No matter how busy it gets, he always has a smile and something positive to say, which really brightens the whole atmosphere. It’s clear he cares about the community and takes pride in making people feel welcome. Small interactions like that can make a big difference in someone’s day, and he definitely does that for many of us.“

“I went to have a quick bite with my husband last night and while we sat to eat, a man with no money walked in. The owner immediately walked over to him, greeted him with utmost respect, made him a footlong sandwich and meal, free of charge, and treated him in a way that made us both tear up and realize there are good people in this world who have a heart of gold. The owner is a couple who treats their customers like friends and family, but this action made me respect them 100 times more. God bless you. We come in from out of state once a month to visit our kids and always stop to eat here because of their warm customer service.“

“I had a great experience here, however my order was super simple, but the woman that waited on me was very cheerful and talked to me the entire time I was there. She said hello when I walked in and have a great day when I left. After coming back from our vacation to PA where everyone was in a bad mood, it was a nice change.“
