Authentic small town eatery with its own special charm. Service is fast and efficient. The owner spoke with us several times during the course of our meal. It is clear that the owner takes his business very seriously. While mostly sandwiches, the menu is diverse with salads, smoothies, etc.

The food was so good! We went to visit some friends and we stopped here after and the chicken was so good. I want to come back for more 😆

Stopped in today while passing through the area for work. Had the daily special and it was great! Clearly homemade with care. Awesome comfort food in a cute little town.

This place was great. The sandwich was delicious and the fries were amazing (and huge!). My favorite clock is the Felix the Cat clock 🐱

I had a very uncomfortable experience here. Upon arrival, I was greeted with hostility and immediately warned that if I opened the drink I brought with me, I would be asked to leave.
Some individuals have dietary restrictions that require specialty foods and beverages, and a more understanding approach would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, the environment felt unwelcoming and unnecessarily rigid.
I will not be returning due to the rude and discriminatory atmosphere.

My daughter and I would often have lunch here pre 2022 until Bonita herself ruined it for us! I ordered a sandwich and asked it to be without bread because there wasn't a salad alternative. I have great difficulty swallowing and can no longer eat a sandwich. I asked if I could have a corn muffin instead with butter which makes it easier for me to swallow. Bonita charged me .50¢ extra for about a tablespoon of butter! It isn't the price so much as the frugality of a cafe having the audacity to charge me extra for something so minimal! That translates into $16.00 for a pound of butter! The owner herself is very snippy and doesn't like having to alter the items on her menu in any way. I had worked in the culinary field as a prep chef and as an assistant chef. I knew the importance of adhering to cost in order to make a profit. Bonita's husband on the other hand is pleasant and friendly and attentive to his customers.
Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly my daughter and her friend wanted to have lunch but Bonita was quite rude because she didn't want them to dine in because their very young children were "too noisy" and asked them to leave!
Terrible hostile service the man that works there deters customers from wanting to step foot in your establishment. Check your attitude of employees because I run my own sandwich shop and would never ever treat any customer with such distain.

driving home from utica and realized we should have stopped for lunch before getting on i90. i pulled off the little falls exit and figured we would stop at a fast food place or gas station and grab something but i saw a sign that said bonitas sandwich chef and knew we had to stop there.
we took bets on if bonita would be working there and she was the one cooking. she is absolutely a sandwich chef! i ordered a chicken salad wrap but i got it without carrots and peppers and the chicken salad was some of the best i’ve ever had. my bf got a burger and fries and took a bite as i was pulling out of the parking spot and made me pull back in so he could tell bonita that it was the best burger he’s ever had. i had a bite and agree it was really good. the fries were crispy and salty but not too salty. you could tell the food was homemade and made with talent, passion, and love. when we told bonita and her husband (i think) they let us know they make the burgers fresh everyday! pricing is super reasonable and the value is there.
it’s 11pm now and he just said to me i can’t believe i had the best burger i’ve ever had today. it’s an hour drive from us and we have no other reason to drive to the area but we were really talking about going again soon. 10 stars!
