“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“The breakfast sandwiches from here are sooo good and its even better that you can customize all of them too... for me- this place is up there in the best spots to eat in Boston. So flavourful with flexible and personable staff, reasonable prices and a relaxing atmosphere to sit by the window and enjoy.“

“We just moved to the neighborhood and we are obsessed.

The sandwiches are like no other sandwiches. The focaccia is home made. The ingredients are fresh, seasonal and locally sourced. It’s not just a sandwich, it’s sandwich art!

There are some rules, such as no eating inside, but they enhance the experience: Davis Sq. is a delightful place to eat outside.

We have yet to eat every item on the menu, but nothing has disappointed so far. Excellent coffee and kombucha are also on offer.“

“We’re from the UK and quite literally never tasted or experienced anything like this place. We ordered the pastrami sub, sausage egg and cheese bagel and a cream cheese bagel. Just get everything on the menu though. The people are so hard working and so friendly, and the food was incredible - so much value for money!! If the shop is full for eat-in, then take it to go and take a short walk to the public garden. They also show the prem games! This was just so good. Thank you so much.“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

“I went about 6 pm and there appeared to be only 2 people working, the manager and another worker. A few other customers came in to order while I was waiting, and the manager was obviously a bit understaffed but so professional, apologizing for the wait to everyone, and helping to get the orders out as quickly as possible. Thumbs up for a man who cares about service and customer communication.“

“Thank you for a nice chicken parm dinner. It was very good and a nice portion. I'll be back!“

“As someone who has Celiac Disease, I greatly struggle with finding good and safe places to eat.
Let me just start by saying, the staff here is beyond knowledgeable about their food, the ingredients, and with food allergies. I felt safe and secure eating there with my partner and some friends (two of whom are also Celiac). I ordered a caprese melt on gluten free bread with tater tots and chipotle mayo and immediately they were able to advise me that the mayo and the tots were NOT gluten free. They were able to offer suggestions, such as their chowder soup or their pre-bagged and sealed chips.
They were also amazing in asking if I had celiac or just a preference. They changed all of their gloves and utensils and prepared my food away from my partner’s food which contained gluten.

Honestly such an amazing place to eat. My partner and I have been saying how this very well just may become our favorite place to get dinner out!“

“Haven't been to this place in years but, boy sm I glad I did. Got a steak onion and cheese sub at 8 AM, because I could order that at what would be other shops " Breakfast only" time. Nice soft roll ,steak NOT chopped to oblivious gravel like other shops. This spot IS the spot for a steak and cheese . I'm gonna go back and try all the ol standards again done right. Kudos. Can't wait to try a simple hit dog. Believe it or not, people screw that up . But according to the reviews I've seen, they're done just right. It's really nice to know that these non pretentecious simply good food places still do exist.“

“Everything!!!!! Family owned gem!!!! 🇮🇹🙏🇮🇹❤️🙏“

“So glad to see you open 6-8 pm Fresh quality ingredients. Everything I have ordered has been excellent!“

“The service & the food were absolutely off the hook, I saw a food review done previously by "Sal" and had to come in w/ my friend Arlene to check it out. We were greeted immediately upon entering and the food experience began.“

“Great pizza and fantastic service. Taylor is super nice and made us feel welcome, being so far from home 🙂“

“Charissa was great! Super helpful! I placed the call close to closing time. Charissa was who took my order. She had mentioned that she will get the team to help and get the order completed. I got there and the food was ready and Charissa was very welcoming & efficient. I love my papa Gino’s !“

“Sandwiches were awesome. Great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommend.“

“Today was my first visit here. Friendly, attentive staff and quick wait time. The sub portion was huge, with delicious and quality ingredients. I will be back!“

“Wanted something not fried and carb loaded. Found this gem. Got the avocado toast with eggs over easy, crisp bacon, home fries and asked him to throw spinach on top to be healthy. Absolutely love! The owner is so nice and served it up fast with a smile. Will definitely come back.

This is a must visit if you want great food at a great cost.“

“Visiting our daughter and boyfriend and went here for Saturday morning breakfast to take to the park. Friendly service who took the time to explain different menu items—all had uniquely delicious flavors! Banana nut muffin - yum! Pistachio coconut milk latte was such a treat. Would definitely recommend to others !!“

“such a big sandwich! definitely get a good bang for your buck- I was almost overwhelmed by the amount of meat. my only complaint though was that I wish it was just a bit more salty! I got it without pate so it very well could be that thats what it needed.“

“The store was the absolute amazing with the best customer service“

“Definitely will order from here again,Meatballs are perfect and sauce is superb!“

“Wow. Incredible authentic Italian food. The owners are great guys and have a passion for Sicilian Meals.
Don’t miss this one !!!
Ciao

Returned for a Veal Parm sub for lunch. The veal is always thin and the breading is crisp.
Best veal sandwich in Saugus.
You’ll love it !!“

“Best Italian’s in all of New England“

“Simple Fare is the trifecta: great service, delicious food, and reasonable prices. Maeghan made our menu planning easy and when Melissa delivered our food she was super helpful with set-up. Everyone at our event complimented the food and I'm already scheming about our next party...I know who we'll be contacting to cater it! Thank you to the whole team -- you're awesome!“

“Kid. The famous Egg & Cheese B Boy? Dominant Masterpiece. Always prepared on a sub roll so cloud-soft it practically levitates. Every bite is a melty, soul-hugging experience when it’s delivered by their best panini genie.

Jim’s is a Medford rite of passage—delivering unchallenged excellence since before the Blizzard of ‘78. So yeah, Jim’s Market is old enough to be your Mother, son.“

“This is a 5 for a lunch option in downtown Boston. Best Italian sub ever? No. But for the price and convenience, it’s the best in downtown. The large size sandwich is HUGE. Fast. A little soup-naziish in that you better know what you want when you get to the front of the line. The bread makes a sandwich and theirs is great. Take out only“

“I have been getting DiBlasis subs for over 50 years and it has been always been wonderful food and friendly service.“

“The sub was amazing one of the best I’ve had in years and I’m from New York you would think we in Philly“

“My family stopped in for breakfast and we all got different breakfast sandwiches. They were all delicious. I had the avacado smash I think it was called. It was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Very much enjoyed the staff's banter while we waited. The staff checked on us several times. 5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“walk-up windows my favorite. 😍 🥒🥓🥯☀️“

“Great spot to pick up some charcuterie. Not super fancy but that’s a good thing. Great quality ingredients. Let the snobs eat elsewhere.“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“Lovely, clean, fresh, friendly - I ordered the chicken Caesar kale salad, it was awesome and croutons were made fresh. They had a lunch special which included beer on tap for $20! The vibe was chill and the place was really clean, lots of natural light. My server was really friendly and made me feel at home. I will definitely be back!“

“The absolute best breakfast/lunch spot in Newton!“

“I love this place and always eat lunch here when in Boston.“

“Just Ordered One Of The Best Italian Subs I’ve Had In A Long Time.. First Timer There But They’ll Get To Know Me, Waiting To Try Their Take-Out Dinners And Such..“

“Unquestionably the best steak n cheese anywhere. I’ve been to South Philly and tried both Pats and Genos. I’ll take real American cheese over cheez whiz Thank You. Not to mention there is no attitude like the above mentioned“

“Absolutely phenomenal spot! Max's is the real deal – an authentic, friendly deli with fantastic food at prices you just can't beat in Boston. The staff are brilliant and make you feel right at home. Whether it's a hearty breakfast or a classic, piled-high deli sandwich for lunch, they nail it every time. If you're looking for a genuine deli experience without the frills, just great food and great service, this is your place. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“Good food, friendly staff, affordable for lunch and catering“

“Owner is really friendly (but also sassy, in a good way) and also gives off elder queer vibes. Extremely hospitable.
Interior feels a little old, but in a nostalgic way that reminds you of a home full of love.
Relatively quiet, extraordinarily low prices especially in this day and age (the $8 sandwiches really caught me off guard), and the tuna melt I had was quite literally the best sandwich I’ve ever had, no exaggeration.
10/10, would definitely come here again.“

“Such a wonderful place. The freshest of everything. Home made too. 💯💯💯 worth a try. You will keep coming back.“
