Had to listen to a 2 minute conversation of pure Boston accent small talk while standing right in front of the cashier but I'm not really in a rush so I'm unbothered. Checked prices beforehand so I wasn't shocked. However when I get back to the office I take my (teriyaki steak and cheese) out and they wrapped it like a poor baby being left off at the fire station at 3 in the morning. Hasty, Greasy, and Very Squished. Could only salvage half the sandwich as it instantly fell apart after trying to get a grip, and decided to stuff the remains back into the bag to take home and concoct later to save myself the embarrassment of trying to put it back together Infront of all my coworkers.HOWEVER, I must say that once I got my mouth on the half that somewhat stayed together, it was actually quite tasty! not bad at all. hence the higher review than the text may yield.Overall, not bad, Just the yapping and wrapping set me a little aside. But we're all humans here, so I won't hold them too much on that.I recommend eating it in the safety of your own home. Kind of an embarrassing feat to attempt in an office setting.

Stick to the steak and cheese; the chicken cutlet sub is made with frozen chicken fingers. Charging $15 for frozen chicken is honestly quite disrespectful. read more Stick to the steak and cheese; the chicken cutlet sub is made with frozen chicken fingers.

The ladies at the counter welcomed us with smiles, took our order, and we had our subs on the table in no time. I ordered a small steak and cheese, which is larger than what you'd find elsewhere. The sub was packed with steak, and the roll was soft but strong enough to hold that generous portion. It definitely lived up to the hype—it's the BEST steak sub I've ever had. I can't wait to return!

Great sandwiches. The cheese fries were delicious too. Only have outdoor seating though (we didn't realize that until we got there). read more Great sandwiches. The cheese fries were delicious too. Only have outdoor seating though (we didn't realize that until we got there).

I ordered four different steak grinders, and each one was unique and delicious. The service was quick and friendly, although the waiting area is quite small. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. These are the best steak grinders I’ve ever had, and I'm so glad I made the journey. Thank you, Phantom Gourmet!
