Attilio Piscopo March 2026

What a gem! From the sandwiches, to the soups, to the grab n go salads…this place is great! I would recommend any of the hot sandwiches! The breakfast sandwiches are great and at an affordable price!

Brandon Lamb March 2026

Pretty hidden in between a liquor store and a gas station, but I gotta say one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Really good burrito — I will be back to try their lunch items!

Matthew Tolle March 2026

I was there yesterday for the first time. I'm here to tell ya… it won't be the last. The service was above n beyond and the sub was the BEST Cuban I've ever had!

Kim E. February 2026

Made my way through about half the menu now and every sandwich has been excellent quality and much more unique than the average sandwich shop. Prices are great especially for the quality. Keep it up!

Patrick Ryan February 2026

Awesome addition to Bayport in a great location. I stop here at least once a week for a quick hot deli sandwich and it never disappoints. Tots are hot and crispy, sandwiches are delicious.
