My favorite is the Italian sandwich—it's the perfect meal to bring along to the beach. Plus, the owner and the staff who make the sandwiches are always friendly.

Everything seemed extremely fresh. Plenty big enough for a small on the go lunch we wanted. Came to about $10 with a drink.

When we arrived, we saw a large group of young men in line ahead of us, with a few others busy making sandwiches behind the counter. I don’t mean to sound negative, but it was a reassuring indication that these sandwiches were likely to be delicious. With more than 30 options on the menu, everyone in my group found something they loved. The bathroom was impressively clean as well. One thing to note: if you’re wearing shorts, you might end up with marks on the backs of your legs from the wooden slats on the benches. They also cut their foot-long sandwiches in half, which is a nice touch that not every place offers. Overall, there were many thoughtful details that made for a very enjoyable experience.

Classic, delicious, and served in generous portions—this is precisely how a sub should be! My only complaint is that the napkins aren't strong enough to handle... read more Classic, delicious, and served in generous portions—this is precisely how a sub should be! My only complaint is that the napkins aren't strong enough to handle the messiness of the sandwiches. Overall, I would rate it a perfect 10/10!
