“After being unable to give a phone order for takeout at a snooty vegan place nearby that, snootily, doesn’t accept them, we were welcomed at Billy’s, even though they were surely busy when we called.When we arrived, we asked if they might have a bathroom we could use even though there was absolutely no apparent public restroom. Thing is, my friend is mostly blind and likes to drink coffee, meaning I always need to look for a place for her to go. Several employees went out of their way to accommodate us in their very tiny prep and kitchen spaces as we moved through to use their private restroom in the back. ?It was so very kind and thoughtful and if I could give them 10 stars I would! ?Simple consideration, like answering the phone to take an order and letting someone use the restroom even if it inconveniences their operations for a moment, demonstrates LOVE is still alive in the world and it can be found at Billys! OMG, and then there was the food!!! The omelettes were amazing, the home fries were delicious and when we wished we had gotten ketchup with our takeout, there it was in the bag, along with the extra napkins for my friend. And don’t get me started on the blueberry pancakes… Amazing!!!?The value was unbeatable and even as we were walking out the door, the love continued as I was carefully handed two coffees in a carrier and our paper bag of food as they could see I was leading my friend. Thoughtful from beginning to end. We will DEFINITELY be going back!?Thank you so much, Billy Bunch!!!“
“From classic Italian subs to creative specialty sandwiches, each bite is packed with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch on the go or settling in for a leisurely meal, Rondo's never disappoints. It's a must-visit destination for any sandwich lover in town!“
“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“
“The ultimate weekend destination, serving up an eclectic menu of brunch favorites with a creative twist. The pancakes are fluffy and come with a variety of unique toppings, while the avocado toast is elevated with the addition of poached eggs and spicy salsa. The lively atmosphere and friendly service make it a great spot to unwind with friends or family."“
“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.“
“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!“
“this is the most amazing banh mi i've ever had !! I'm on a little holiday in boston from london and I've recently fallen in love with banh mi. this has taken the top spot though - the baguette had that perfect crunch and it was overflowing with the filling. such a reasonable price and the service was so fast and lovely :) highly recommend the lemongrass pork !“
“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“
“Amazing deli sandwiches, but glad we got here early as the lines form for lunch super quick. The person who I was with and I both had pastrami sandwiches with half sour pickles. I couldn't believe how quiet the restaurant was. We were able to find a seat no problem and our sandwiches came out about 5-6 minutes after we ordered it. When I say that the pastrami melted in your mouth, it was just so flavorful and juicy. Where we live, we don't have places like this, so this was definitely a treat.“
“Figaro's is the type of family run local business that makes a neighborhood a community. They really are a pillar of the Leather District (a tiny and overlooked section of downtown that is low-key the one of the best neighborhoods in the city). The sandwiches and salads are fantastic and huge. I haven't found a better meatball sub anywhere in Boston, and the "Whitey" is the best buffalo chicken wrap I've had. My favorite though is their homemade focaccia rolls, which they make every now and then as a special. If you see them on the special board, get it with whatever they are serving on it! They also do great steak and cheeses and italian subs, of many different varieties. Make sure you check this place out!“
“Clean dive bar with a creative menu and board games. If the food names don’t make you laugh like the “mancakes” meat infused pancakes, playing board games sure will!This is a great place for a kid-friendly brunch. The menu is mounted on the walls. Place your order at the kitchen window and choose a game.I got the mushrooms and spinach omelette with home fries and rye toast.We grabbed coffee from Fuel next door. Perfect family style brunch option!Kid-friendliness: They have board games and a straightforward food menu“
“Morad and his team are the best in the business. Always friendly. Always fresh food. Always accurately prepared as ordered. Always on time. Always consistent hands down. Have been a regular customer for years and it is because I know what to expect. Thank you !Parking: Plenty of parking“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“The prepared items from Judith's Kitchen are some of the healthiest and most delicious foods you will find anywhere and at such reasonable prices!! We are from out of state, but will return each time we are back to see my surgeon. The salmon burger, the black bean burger, the coleslaw, the potato salad, the lentil soup, the roasted vegetables, and literally everything else are just fabulous!!! The owners are precious people and treat us with such warmth. I can't recommend this restaurant more highly. I just wish they would relocate to upstate New York!“
“I moved to SF and still have dreams of the Thorty's Black and Gold sandwich. I sincerely am considering moving back to Boston exclusively for this sandwich. Michael's Deli is a down to earth establishment that deserves all the best, I love this place and would consider being a brand ambassador if that was at all possible. Please go here immediately.“
“Cute location! Very very small though. Really only enough for two people sitting or three people standing at window. Service was great and the guys were wonderful. I had the breakfast crack sandwich and my friend had the caviar one... both delicious. The burrito looked amazing also.“
“One thing about this place is that it will never disappoint with you whether it’s a sub , sandwich , wrap or salad , trust me you will never be disappointed! The workers are truly are amazing it’s very affordable , and the vibe is quiet and just right. This location is the only location I come to when I need D ‘ Angelos !!!“
“Pickup for breakfast sandwiches - they’re HUGE! My partner got bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and I got the same but on an English muffin. Sandwiches were good - could use more bacon for such a big portion of egg. Cute lil place!“
“This place is lights out ??? Rick makes everything himself right in front of u, and it's all SO good!!! Free parking, easy to get to, and u can get everything from French toast to breakfast burritos with Kielbasa! He's got a deep menu with anything u want, and I'm shocked I haven't come here sooner. This place is a hole-in-the-wall, so there's not tables for 4, only some bar stools, but man is it worth it! Couldn't recommend this place more.“
“This place seems like it will become a new classic for me. The food is delicious and I love that it is a local small business. It does take a little longer to cook then a place like dunkin but that is because the food you are eating is real and is cooked when you order!“
“I came in here because I was in the neighborhood. I was in the need for a quick breakfast sandwich. I got a croissaint, bacon, scrambled egg and swiss cheese and let me tell you the sandwich did not disappoint. I also had the marshmallow New England coffee flavor a suggestion by the staff who must be Mara who was very friendly and happy :) They have plenty of seating and a large selection of sandwiches. I would definitely stop here again!“
“A family owned sandwich shop where the food is delicious, fresh and made with love. A wide variety to choose from and also has Richardson’s ice cream. Wonderful customer service. Definitely worth a try. The paninis are especially delicious. You’ll end up being a regular. Very reasonable prices.“
“Good afternoon, I had called the place an order for a chicken Parm sub and two cookies, and it was close to closing. I truly apologize for not getting there in time and happy you make the food. My wife’s tire popped on route 9 and she called me to change it. Please forgive me for not getting there in time. I am still going to pay for the food. Once again, I truly apologize.“
“The Serranito sandwich is the best deli sandwich I’ve ever had. We were in Boston for 3 days with a full food itinerary, stopped in here on day one and had to come back a second time before we left. The sandwiches are big, easy to split between two people. Freshly sliced ham, incredible cheese, crispy toasted bread, garlic aioli…this is our favorite place we ate in Boston. A must eat!!!“
“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.“
“The place was very clean! I was so happy to see a Montillios bakery there as well! I want to thank the customer service reps MELANIE and LEO for the great experience, warm food and awesome demonstration of team work in order to execute fast and friendly service!“
“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.“
“Super Cluckin' Sunday occurs once a month and requires you to pre-order a week in advance. The fried chicken sandwich of the month alternates between BBQ Ranch and OG Honey Mustard, and you can see the schedule on Cutty's website.I tried the OG Honey Mustard. I wasn't able to eat it until an hour later, but the chicken was still crispy and tasted fine re-toasted. The sesame brioche bun was soft and airy. The chicken was lightly peppered/seasoned and moist. The slaw and honey mustard sauce added a complementary sweetness. There was also Cabot sharp cheddar cheese, but I couldn’t really taste it.I don't think the amazingness of this sandwich amounts to the hype of being a once-a-month special, and $13.99 is a bit expensive. However, it was a delicious sandwich overall, and I would get it again.“
“Every neighborhood should have a Blue Jay's. I stopped by here to grab a sandwich when driving through Dedham, and so happy I found it! The owner was so pleasant, patient as I took my time deciding what I wanted, and made me a delicious classic tuna sandwich. This is a no frills type of place. Good food, good people and the type of place that will put a smile on your face just walking in“
“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“
“The subs had fresh ingredients and daily made bread rolls, which is a significant improvement over Subway. I would say this and JJs are on the same tier, but I haven't explored all the options at Mike's yet. The service was sweet and very professional too! Will be going back soon :)“
“We are visiting from Chicago and stumbled upon Al’s and wow so glad we did. We’ve been in town for (4) days and have visited Al’s twice. We will grab some to go sandwich’s before we depart as well. Can’t get enough of the fresh bread & toppings, quick and friendly service and the value is unbelievable! 10 inch sub, chips & drink for $13.00! Top notch sandwich place!“
“It's my offices favorite place for lunch for a reason!!! Absolutely the best subs downtown. We usually get small which is normal sized but if you want a whopping 16 inches go for the large for just $2 more. So reasonably priced and quick. Highly recommended getting your sandwich with the works (everything). Come and it may look empty but blink at noon and everyone and their mother shows up.“
“Came here for a late breakfast, since it was close to our hotel. Can't say enough good things about the place. Prices were reasonable, especially for being in the heart of the city. Portions were generous and everything tasted great! I had the traditional breakfast with bacon and it came with a heaping pile of home fries, and a couple. nice slices of sourdough toast. My only complaint is that the bacon wasn't thickly sliced. My daughter had the Challah French toast and gave it two thumbs up!“
“Stopped by here to grab some sandwiches to go for my son and myself on a busy, activity packed Saturday.We got an Italian and a Roast Beef and Turkey on heroes. Very generous portions, packed with fresh crispy lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Nice pickles and hot peppers too, upon request.Very satisfying sandwich.There were 3 families seated enjoying sandwiches and the sandwiches all looked delicious. The pastrami also smelled delicious. I have to go back there to try it next time. :)“
“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.“
“Really some of the best sandwiches around! I love their Callahan chicken salad, and friends have gotten other sandwiches that look amazing as well. Highly recommended for lunch if you’re in the area! Everything is so fresh and the staff is always accommodating.“
“Great place to grab a coffee and a sandwich for breakfast or lunch. I got the mochachino and spicy ham and grilled cheese and they were both really good. The prices are great for a place in the city, usually I’m spending over $20 these days on a coffee and food but both were just under $13!“
“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!“
“The irony is that all my companions tonight were not fans of either whiskey nor raw seafood, the two specialties of Citizen Public House, but thankfully all the other food and drink options were plentiful and very delicious! The spicy deep fried pickles were super addictive, the endive winter salad was so flavorful with a very nose-tingly horseradish dressing, cauliflower cream pan fried gnocchi was divine, and especially enjoyed the duck pot pie with root veggies. Our server was so charismatic, attentive and kind. Could not recommend coming here enough! And would love to come back and try their raw seafood bar :)“
“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!“
“I’ve lived all over the country to include in NYC, and can hands down say this is one of my favorite breakfast sandwich shops. The care that goes into the prep, the fresh off the griddle real egg, the perfect bite every time - and the gems that work there…just the best. This spot might be easy to overlook, but don’t!“
“Just when you think things can't get any better.... We find ourselves on the Cisco Brewery duck boat during the St. Patrick's Day Parade yesterday. Perfect day, perfect people everywhere and we are all spreading the love and feeling the energy. After a few good hours on the boat- a man, a fresh man, out of nowhere shows up with a giant bag of FRESH Boston Sandwiches. Capones all around! Thank for the delivery!“
“Best steak & cheese in Boston period. They also have the best breakfast I love their there family owned and operated fasted friendly service. Excellent good you will have leftovers. I like that they have options for picky eaters (kids) well worth the money you spend an please tip them especially during the pandemic ? everything is always amazingly delicious ? only had a issue one time when they forgot to put my cheesy grits in the bag and gave me bean pie instead of bread pudding I called and they immediately made it right. I still wish they delivered because I would definitely eat there more often.Kid-friendliness: In my opinion yes. They don't put up with the rift raft that goes on in the area & I usually just ask them to make whatever my child wants if they have it they'll do it.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs easy access“
