Food was good, cheese burger sub on fuchsia with garlic butter toasted! OMFG!! DELICIOUS. The vodka chicken sub***** 5 star! Great!! Mac salad* 1 star. I was assuming "homemade type taste" nope... tasted like walmart Mac salad. No flavor. Price a little heavy but not to bad.

I originally thought this was going to be a deli since I knew the menu was very sandwich forward. So I was a little surprised at first to see a more traditional sports bar / bistro type establishment. No matter however! Just an initial surprise. Ordered to go - Godfather and Chopped Cheese. First I balked at the price tag $19 per sandwich approx. Holy cow because you get your money’s worth! Huge sandwiches with loads of filling and flavor. Definitely worth the splurge with plenty of leftovers. The Chopped Cheese had fresh beef taste with onions, relish type burger sauce, and plenty of cheese. Just being nitpicky, I’d want more of a blanket of cheese versus incorporated. But it was creamy, sour, savory, everything. All at once. The roll was too soft, but again being nitpicky. Still five s

First time ordering here. We had been meaning to try it for the last few weeks. We were originally told 20 mins for a carryout order but ultimately waited 40 minutes total. Not a huge deal but you'd expect food to be ready when you're provided a pickup time. $40 later for 2 carryout sandwiches, I couldn't even eat my chicken parm sub. The chicken was unfortunately left in the fryer too long or something because it was hard and very dark. Hubby and I tried to switch meals but he couldnt eat it either. Luckily the sandwiches are big enough to share so we each had half of his sub. His sub was very good but he noted how half the sub had loads of meat while the other half didnt seem to have much. Again, not a huge deal, you could manually "fix" it. However, for a $20 sub, you shouldn't have

Wow, go CJ's! My friends and I met at CJs for the Buffalo Bills game and we had an awesome time. Although the Bills (barely) lost we felt like we won. The food was top-notch! Everyone at the table raved about their sandwiches. Our server , Suhaily was friendly, fast and fabulous. Even with a big crowd she made sure everyone had great service. The restaurant was clean and seating was comfortable. We'll be back, thanks Suhaily Ps sorry no pic, I was having too much fun‍

Not a Deli, but a Sandwich Bar/Restaurant. A unique idea and delicious food. The sandwiches are huge, the small size is plenty for most people.
