“Ordered takeout for two sandwiches, the Italian girl and the Italian boy! Really good sandwiches - super filling, great flavor. $17 each.

The only thing to note is that both sandwiches (both halves of each) had a horizontal toothpick in them. Usually they’re vertical to keep the sandwich together but a couple bites into the sandwich, bit right into the toothpick. Feels extremely dangerous.“

“Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this place. Our meal was fantastic!

For appetizers, we had the ricotta and crab—something my wife wanted more than I did, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was incredible. The fried oyster sliders, delicious.

For entrées, we ordered the short ribs and the burger. The short ribs were good, but the biggest surprise was the burger. That cheese sauce and “fancy” sauce—whatever it is—was insanely good.

On top of that, the $10 happy hour cocktails (the daiquiri was great, especially for the price) and free parking in the building made the experience even better.

Highly recommend!“

“Came here about 10 minutes before closing to ask if they were still open - the gentleman in the window could not have been kinder when he said “yes of course.” They do not skimp on fries or salt and the remoulade-like sauce that comes with a burger and fries is delicious. The single patty burger is more than filling. Absolutely positively will be making this a late night spot as long as they’re open. 10/10.“

Being one of maybe three on the island, they’ve far exceeded my expectation. The style of pizza and variety of menu reminds me of home with not only pizza, but calzones, STROMBOLI, parms, etc. After being here almost 10 years, I have finally found my go-to take out spot. Did I mention how good their specials are?? Don’t ever change!!“

And after taking the first bite of my Carolina Cobb salad with ranch dressing substituted and I added sweet potatoes, I was literally craving lunch for tomorrow so I could go back and get the same thing! The ladies working were so kind, had beautiful smiles, and were just so nice!!! Great customer service, told me about different specials that happen throughout there restaurants and I cannot wait to go back there and become a regular. It was so clean and the colors were so fun to walk in and see.“

Dude behind the counter has a LOT to learn about customer service , social skills, and all around not be so entirely off putting that it’s now tainted my thoughts on ever coming back. If you have grievances with in your establishment about your work environment , or co workers, don’t broadcast it for every customer there! Also, pick your head up and look at people when they enter your establishment… seriously it’s a small effort with a large impact!“

No, you do not have to be a cadet to go eat there as it is open to the public. The dining area is always clean, and the food always comes out great. They are usually busy serving cadets, but the line is always served quickly. Overall, it's a great little fast food restaurant.

Parking: Free parking lot just behind the building.“

I get the kickin chicken sandwich combo and only eat the tenders and the fries. I don't eat the bread. However, I love the tongue torch and hot sauce mix on the sandwich. I always get extra seasoning for the fries because without it, they usually taste bland.“
