I do not recommend it. Their food is spoiled. We ate an Italian sandwich with spoiled cheese. The employee was rude, impolite, and very slow. It’s better to walk to the deli next door for 2 minutes instead of waiting for rude employees to serve you low-quality food. Rating: 0.

Okay so I’m born & raised in Queens and sandwiches are easily one of my top favorite foods to eat. This sandwich was straight up insulting. Not only was it made wrong but there was barely anything in it! From the nasty stale bread, to asking for provolone & ovengold turkey and receiving Swiss & Honey Maple turkey. This sandwich was a disaster. Oh and it doesn’t stop there! When ringing up my order for 1 sandwich and 1 bag of chips, the guy at the front first tried to charge me $15!! I was like “15?! How much is this sandwich?” And then he went down to 13, and then down to 12. So for this $8 sandwich (because the chips were $4!) I was expecting a traditional, heavy on the meat, correct cheese, and mayo on BOTH sides sandwich. And instead I received a, what seemed to be, an inflation sandwic

Border turkey sandwich that was supposed to have coleslaw & sauce. When I came home the sandwich was only turkey meat and cheese tasted like prison food.

This is my first time and will be my last time to order food from this place. I was ordered a cheeseburger and philisteak . I found a bolt inside my philisteak sandwich, lucky I didn’t swallow it. Also one of the employee trying to making fun, cursing to the customers using a language that he thought the customer doesn’t understand it . Seriously disgusting behavior .
