Wow first time going there today was craving a chicken cutlet sub and was in the area stopped in first off it’s spotless in there very clean you can even see in the kitchen that it’s so clean. Girl who took my order was very nice helped with any questions I had. I did get it to go and ate at home so it was sitting for maybe 15 min and I will tell you this was one of the best chicken cutlet subs I’ve ever had in my life! Absolutely amazing! And that’s after sitting for 15 min! I forgot the name but it was under one of their speciality subs I believe it was called the Chris sub or something along those lines. Chick cutlet perfectly cooked nice crispy crust, prosciutto fresh mozz they are very generous with the mozz which I love, and pesto mayo which is out of this world! I also added roasted red peppers and some balsamic drizzle. All put between a perfectly toasted ciabatta bread. AMAZING!!!! I CANT DESCRIBE IT ANY OTHER WAY THAN AMAZING! They will have a customer for life now! Picture doesn’t do justice I also ate the other half before I took the pic cause it was so good lmao

I ordered a sub and fries, which was delivered by Door Dash. The sub was big, and the fries arrived hot enough to enjoy. My only real issue was that the sub roll was soggy. It was from the veggies, apparently. Maybe, next time, they can drain some of the liquids from the pickles and olives.

I met a friend here for lunch, as it was midway between our two houses. This place does a booming takeout business, which is just as well because the seating is rudimentary. Come here to take out very good lunch fare, but don't come for the atmosphere. Food was fine, staff were delightful.
