The Best sandwich in America
Home made bread filled with beautiful things, larger than life with lovely servers and great atmosphere. Just great! We had the best family time there. I got the Red Hook Special. 🙏

Husband and I were excited to get sandwiches, but was rather disappointed. Flavors were average, guess we expected more die to it's history.

The website had a price listed of 10.50 for a sandwich that was massive but actually $19.. Accidentally spent a bit much but it tastes great and the staff was very friendly. They all seem nice, and this food is very good

Best egg and cheese sandwich I've had. The bread was soft and delicious. The cheese pull was amazing.

I went back later in the same day for the tuna sandwich and wasn't so impressed. Quite mid. I prefer Faiccos for a tuna sandwich.

Sandwich selection is not that great but the service is great and the place obviously has a lot of history which adds to the vibe.

One of (if not) the best sandwich shops I've ever been to. A couple visits each summer for the last decade, consistently amazing, incredibly cheap prices for the amount of food (a sandwich can easily be two meals). A must visit and worth repeating to try more options and experiment with topping combinations!

Huge Italian sandwich’s. Classic sandwich spot. Expensive but delicious. The sandwiches are meals in your hand and they live up to the hype. Definitely go one day and treat yourself. You can’t go wrong here.

Chicken fingers instead of chicken cutlets. Absolute joke. Same hands handle money and food, hence the grade pending. Overrated, over priced.
