2. They are fast & efficient with getting your order done.
3. The person dressing your order keeps their entire area IMMACULATE. I’ve noticed other locations get sloppy in this area, not here!!
4. The tables and dine-in area are CLEAN.

Tipping my hat to this entire crew! And thanks for my chopped stickball today! THE BEST!!“

“"Finally tried this brand at the American Dream Mall's food court, and oh my goodness, the taste was absolutely amazing! The French fries were my favorite, and it seemed like everyone was ordering from this brand. The food court is incredibly huge, a food lover's dream come true at American Dram mall ! ???"“

“The most authentically delicious arancinE and sfincione this side of the Atlantic besides nonna’s! A sincere thank you to the friendliest hosts and staff as our group of fifty high school students and chaperones invaded their beautiful bottega! This place is amazing! Grazie di cuore in particolare allo staff!“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is stunning!! Some italian classics and some twists, amazing wines and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Love this place and I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in NYC.“

“Faicco's is like stepping into Satriale’s come to life (minus the extracurricular activities). The chicken parm hero is a mammoth sandwich packed with thinly pounded cutlets and melty cheese, all nestled in a soft, firm hero roll.

Be warned, the sandwich comes out scorching hot, and stays that way in the packaging (I traveled 20 minutes with mine before eating). So definitely let it cool a bit beforehand, and you could even split two servings considering the massive portion size.

While it's on the pricier side, the quality and quantity make it a solid value. If you're after an authentic Italian-American sandwich, Faicco's is your spot.“

“Good food - good people. Every dish is fresh and tasty.“

We chatted while our order was made and it made for a nice personal experience. We felt valued although we were "just tourists".

Check em out, good food, good prices, good service.“

“I am a visitor from Australia ?? ? and we decided to make a special trip to the very well-known Fiore's House of Quality in Hoboken. Had to line up, they are very busy and the choices are amazing. Check the advertising for the choices they have on different days. The sandwitches. rolls and breadsticks - filled with the famous fresh made Morzarella and the different tasty meats are amazing. You can't eat them there - you have to take them with you - there is a very nice Park near by - there you can have a culinary feast. It's definitely worth a trip.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

““Raising New York’s cholesterol since 1929.”
It's been 8 years since my last visit and everything was as good as ever!The food is just outstanding and the team there are just brilliant. My No.1 eating place in Manhattan!“

“Spontaneously looking for a snack and found this cute shop. The tomato soup tasted very good and served its purpose perfectly to warm us up a little. The prices are also really cheap for New York. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Absolute recommendation!

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or anything like that“

“In a world where hunger strikes like a relentless villain-sama, Subway stands as a beacon of hope, a sanctuary where heroes are forged. Today, I embarked on an epic quest to create the ultimate sandwich, and Subway did not disappoint!

As I entered the Subway dojo, the air was thick with anticipation. The Subway Masters, Johnny-San and Lillie-Chan in their signature uniforms, greeted me with the respect due to a wandering warrior. Their skills were unmatched, their knowledge of ingredients vast—a true testament to their training.

The assembly line was like the forging of a legendary weapon. Each ingredient was a sacred relic: the crisp lettuce, a shield to ward off the enemies of hunger; the succulent meats, the sword to strike with precision; the cheeses, a mystical aura that binds the sandwich together. And let’s not forget the sauces—each one a secret technique passed down through generations, adding depth and power to the creation.

Choosing my bread was the first challenge. I opted for the hearty Italian herbs and cheese—its golden crust symbolizing the strength of an ancient warrior. Then came the fillings, each layer a strategic choice in the battle for flavor supremacy. I could feel the spirit of a thousand anime protagonists guiding me, urging me to craft a sub that would stand the test of time.

The moment of truth arrived as I took the first bite. It was as if the heavens opened, and I could hear the triumphant music of victory! The flavors exploded like a finishing move in a climactic battle, each element playing its part to perfection. The sandwich was not just food—it was the embodiment of a hero’s journey, a testament to the power of customization and creativity.

Subway, you’ve done it again! My hunger was defeated, my spirit revitalized. This was no ordinary meal; it was a saga, a tale of culinary excellence that I will recount for generations. If you seek a meal that’s more than just food—if you seek an adventure—Subway is yours.“

“This out of the way place along the East River waterfront was having a free concert on Saturday. Held in the parking lot, dozens of people of all ages were enjoying the rock music. They were also selling light refreshments to enjoy while hearing the bands play. Felt very wholesome, relaxed and fun. Perfect summer night. Enjoy“

“My goal is to eat every sandwich on the menu, and so far, I'm now nine incredible sandwiches in. Each and every single one has been amazing in their own ways. The quality, service, and uniqueness is unmatched and greatly appreciated and I'll continue to go there often. Thank you Dutch's!“

“Best sandwiches in NYC!!!“

“love the food at this place. my "go to spot" when i'm on the move.“

“Excellent turkey meatball sandwich, served super hot and fresh (they make everything to order so you never get a sandwich that’s been sitting around). Staff was awesome, and the cashier showed a clear passion for the food as his recommendations were detailed and genuine, and importantly the place was very clean. Looking forward to coming back at some pour!“

“Great lunches very accommodating for small lunch gatherings. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious home cooked food and Italian specialties“

“I absolutely love this place, healthy, hearty, fresh, and friendly staff. I love the hot press Turkey and Herbs, and Mozzarella, sweet potato, sandwiches Mediterranean Turkey and Filet of roast beef, lemonade and the hot Chia tea during winter is great to start my work day. Any of the salads are great too. They always take care of you and are good people. Go support and check them out for lunch.“

“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING ! I live not too far from this place, me and the wife decided to order some early lunch. She got the New Yorker and enjoyed it and said it was an amazing BEC. I had the Spring Bling and boy, that thang was fire !!! We ordered tater tots too, AMAZING (hash browns met their match). I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this spot!! Food was extremely fresh, flavorful and still HOT! Please check out this amazing restaurant, cliffside park we got a GEM!!“

“My favorite place in Hoboken! The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and every delicious dish is made with love. Great coffee, omelettes and breakfast sandwiches! Cozy ambiance, good music and cool local artwork on the walls. Definitely give this place a try!“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“Wonderful establishment and excellent customer service from Team Member Shaheen… Very clean and you get your order as fast as you order it. Most fast food workers don’t notice that they are providing positive experiences with polite customer service but this one always makes my day. I’ve been going to this subway for a while now and it’s one of the good ones!“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“This place checks all the boxes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Just had the Italiano and the cheesesteak and holy WOW! two of the best sandwiches I ever had. Amazing food, very clean place, exceptionally friendly service, we will be back for more and more! Our new favorite sandwich shop!“

“Holy crap the sandwich was good it was bursting with flavor and everything in between. The guy helping me gave me 70 free bags of chips and free cookies, of course. My life has been changed forever. The sandwich was so good, for a second I thought my dad returned.“

“Delicious wraps! We go to the one on 102th st and Broadway.The only bad thing is poor service,workers have bad attitude! Makes your wrap taste bitter!“

“My friends and I stopped here on the way out of NY because it was the closest and cheapest option that didn’t have bad reviews. Well, it turned out to be a great stop!! We were very pleasantly surprised. There’s almost no room for seating, and it’s very cramped, but the staff are all very kind and they make sandwiches fast. All of their options sounded good, and I was honestly conflicted. But, I’m happy with what I chose. Everyone was very familiar with each other, and it was just a welcoming place. The speed and convenience ended up being exactly what we needed.“

“Love this sandwich shop, happen to be around Lincoln park. Togo the sandwiches buffalo chicken and turkey sandwich. Both of them were so good! And also plus chip!!

The owner was really nice and welcoming too
Price is good and sandwich is big“

“OMG OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HERO IN THE WORLD!!! IT TOOK ME BACK TO 80'S WHEN I WOULD VISIT JERSEY CITY. THE SMELL WHEN I WALKED IN MADE TOOK ME BACK TO LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT ON THE 10 WAS UNEXPECTED AND I GOT A WHOLE FOR MYSELF WHEN I PICKED THE BAG UP I WAS LIKE NO WAY. THE AMOUNT OF MEAT WAS CRAZY IT TOOK ME 3 DAYS TO EAT IT. IM TAKING 1 BACK WITH ME. THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME EXPERIENCE“

“Amazing place! Quality food, everything fresh, very friendly environment, multilingual staff and enough space for lunch/dinning. Prices very low and food portions are huge! Returning daily during my stay in NYC!“

“If you miss this place, then you are missing out on life! By far the best Italian sub shop, I've ever had the experience to try. Their subs are slammin!!! Highly recommended and such wonderful staff too!! It's definitely a must go to, and now my favorite sub shop around!!“

“Ordered a southwest style Cobb salad for delivery with GH. Unfortunately the online order for dressing of Chipotle was not honored and the receipt shows "HOT SAUCE" which when mixed with whatever white dressing (ranch or creamy Italian) curdled and made me sick. In this age of communication I cannot believe they cannot confirm they are out of Chipotle dressing before just putting an an unacceptable substitution.“

“I order from here so much it was time to drop a review. Food is consistently good, fresh, and fairly priced. Matzo ball soup is the reason I frequent here and have since then expanded my ordering. Literally everything I've tried from soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts have been good. A great no frills lunch option that caters to everyone. Thank you for always being consistent with quality and getting orders right. My favorite lunch place!“

“Every single thing is delicious. Honestly, Agamie never disappoints. The food is super fresh & the service is exceptional. The staff was so nice to my 6 year old too.“

“Heard about this place online and wanted to try it. Price wise, its around the same price as the other food in the area. The paninis were okay. Honestly, if I gave you a panini from a local popular corner deli and this place, this place would be slightly better. Give this place a shot and you can decide for yourself. I had the Cubano and it was okay.“

“I grew up in Hoboken for the first 21 years of my life. At that time, Manobianco’s Deli on 3rd & Park Ave. was my Molfetesse family’s go-to store for Italian specialty foods. But, the business closed in the early ‘70s around the same time my family moved from Hoboken. Then, Losurdo’s was created…..Grazie a Dio! My father would drive from Weehawken each week to get the best breads, biscotti, deli meats & cheeses from this new store. They are hard working, professionals who keep the Italian traditions of Puglia going. Since I moved to NC 17 years ago, I STILL make the trip to Hoboken each time I visit NJ just to shop at Losurdo’s ❤️“

“It was my last day in New York city before heading to see Washington DC and I stopped here for lunch on the recommendation of the Lonely Planet Guidebook id purchased in Gatwick Airport in London. I had a delicious sandwich and the staff were very friendly. Would love to come again if ever I'm in New “

“This is a sweet spot! One of my favorites! Food was amazing and served to me in a timely manner and the beautiful girl at the counter, Daneija provided me with the best customer service! She is sweet, kind, professional and courteous and definitely brightened my day!“

“People talk about seeing Jesus in bread but I literally saw the very face of god in these sandwiches. Every day I walk by Lil' Frankie's Grocery and Katz, on one hand I am disgusted that Katz has a longer line than Frankie's, on the other hand I am thankful I can get the best sandwich in NYC with ease. This is the kind of restaurant instagram hype beasts ignore (because they are not paid to shill it) but it is the exact type of place that deserves more praise, and is the type of flavortown experience people are looking for when they come to NYC to sample the best food in America. Plus the people working there are so friendly and amazing!

The sandwich menu itself is a comprehensive set of finely tuned sandwiches. Each is unique, delicious, and composed of extremely complimentary ingredients that most 1 star MICHELIN restaurants in NYC fail to achieve. (I've been to many)

My favorites:
Classic - The Employee of the Month
Crowd Favorite - Brown Butter Steak
Neo-Culinary Perfection - Hot Thanksgiving Sandwich
Breakfast - The Fran“

“Omg the sandwiches are great and big 20$ it’s worth every penny!!!!“

“I have been visiting Did Amigos for over 20 years. Highly recommend the flavors in this steak sandwich. Make sure you get cheese and onions. Batido de trigo is also delishious. Cash only local spot.

Parking: You can park in the lot above the restaurant for 1 hour , just make sure they stamp your card.“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“
