I love this place. The food is always tastes great and consistent every time. The service is always on point. The atmosphere is like being at home.
Been here two years and I'm just finding out about this place. It's hidden with no signs on the main road. As you turn off, still no signs. Thank god for GPS. It's word of mouth that got us here. We arrived and the establishment is very clean. The staff is super friendly and happy to have new customers. This place gets packed! Between the hours of 11:30-1 it could be a 45min wait. So call ahead if you are in a rush. I got the Italian and it was delicious. This will be our new goto sub shop.
Even after many years , this is still my fave sandwich shop around! Hands down!! I always order take out and if you at here try the lemonade. It's homemade and amazing!! Love this place!
The sandwich I ordered was the special of the day. Called "the grand" it was a warmed ham, turkey and cheese with the perfect dressings of tomato, lettuce ' oil and vinegar, mayo and a bit of mustard. It was delicious. I congratulated the owner on a job well done.
It's a great place for a sub. However, back when it was PJ's ( in the small house back in 1990 )before it was bought out, it was AMAZING! There isn't as much lettuce, onions, and tomatoes on the sandwiches. The bread is different and not as big. I have to ask for extra lettuce... However, STILL best subs around!!!!
