Great neighborhood café with cozy and comfy atmosphere. Everything is made from scratch and delicious. Must try the garlic potato salad. So good.

The food here is very good, and tastes so fresh. All the veggies still have that crispness and crunch that I demand in a sandwich. Even the coleslaw and potato salad(which I don’t generally enjoy from most places because they are often runny and soupy) are still so crunchy and fresh-tasting here. The prices are typically a bit high for gourmet sandwiches, and the shop closes at 3pm, so I often miss them, but I can’t hold those things against the store. My only real complaint is that I wish they offered more veggie sandwich options. The veggie wrap and veggie sandwich, while both good, are basically the same thing. If you’re an actual vegetarian, you’d get pretty bored with the menu.(Although there’s also an amazing grilled cheese.) However, most sandwich places can’t make a decent veggie or fish sandwich at all, and this place can. I’d love another veggie sandwich option though — pesto, caprese, olive salad, falafel, hummus, bean patties, etc are all on my veggie sandwich wishlist. The chef here is so talented, I know he could whip up something yummy. My husband usually gets a reuben or something with corned beef on pump rye. The man loves pumpernickel, and not a lot of sandwich places offer that as an option. Their fish frys are amazing, their tartar sauce delicious and the fish is realllllly heavy and filling. Still always gotta give this place 5 stars.

Chef Gene is awesome. He has catered 3 of our parties and my daughters weding. I have known him for a long time. I will never hire anyone else. He is very creative. The sandwiches are made with high quality meats(the roast beef is great). The fish fry and BBQ Fridays are delectable. Try one of the daily soup choices. He makes great soup.

Best monthly fish fry ever. Everything is great. It’s a «must try» place. Perfect for lunch with friends.

This is a simple and quaint restaurant but the food is top notch. I had the haddock and it was cooked to perfection.
