Coincidentally we happened to go past this small town restaurant at lunch time while on a day trip, so we stopped. It's not a very sophisticated restaurant but go right on in. They serve great food! (And as other reviews state, payment options are cash or check)

Best Italian Cold Cut.

Let me start off by informing you this is a CASH ONLY facility so make sure you hit the ATM before coming. Bring enough to cover the meal or meals and make sure you tip your Server. They work their hearts out behind the counter and they're nice people.
Service here was prompt. The moment you sit down you will be tended to pretty quickly. Definitely a bonus if time is limited. Friendly and professional staff who will check in on you during your meal without being a pain in the ass.
This seems like the community's go-to for a quick bite. Everyone seems to know each other so there's a bit of a familial vibe going on here.
I got the Italian Hoagie. Large with
lettuce, tomato, and onions, black olives, and mayo, light oil and vinegar.
The cold cuts were cold, the vegetables were fresh. It was a GREAT sandwich. The key thing I noticed, however, was the roll. The roll was probably the freshest I have ever eaten in a long time and it further enhances the experience of enjoying a good hoagie. Think about it: the veritable cradle that holds together
the meats and cheese. Soft and delicious. By the looks of things, they go through a lot of those rolls, too. And with good reason.
If you DO decide to swing in there for one of their hoagies, do yourself a favor and order a large one. It's a belly banger, for sure. But because you're SMART, you'll eat one half now and the other half when you get home.
Definitely worth your while to check this place out!

The hoagies are incredible. Tommy's has the best rolls I have ever had, the only complaint that I could have is they only take cash or check no cards...

Always consistent. The home made rolls are what keeps me coming back Been open man, many years. Speaks for it's self

Garbage kitsch

Ordered a California cheesesteak and when I got home it was a regular steak sandwich

Chris Topher

It was BAD just TERRIBLE. Not to exaggerate or anything but my dog could’ve ate this after one of his meals and threw it up and it probably would’ve tasted better then, than how they intended.

Subs are made fresh as you order them, Homemade rolls made daily.
Tuesdays are buy one- get one half price. Pizza is good too.
Didn't try other items- but, I am sure they are Delicious!
Once you have eaten a sub from here- you won't go anywhere else!
I travel a half an hour to get there! I go out of my way- to have a Delicious sub!
