★★★★★ 5.0 Gabriel Radford · Jul 2025

This sandwich was spectacular. Out of this world. Freshly shaved tender meat on crisp, just baked sesame bread. Truly outstanding. Good vibe. Chill but attentive service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lindsey Todesco · Dec 2025

Originally going to Katz’s but the line was insanely long. Found this place by chance and I’m so glad we did. This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had (The Fran). I’m not sad for missing Katz’s. The guy working there was very nice. Only negative was the music he had playing which had a lot of cussing (we had kids with us). Other than that this place was great! Mostly carry out, there is 1 big table for seating.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Chang · Nov 2023

Such a cute atmosphere inside, with well-priced and well-portioned sandwiches. We got the chicken parm (bread was phenomenal, chicken delicious and not too oily, great proportion of cheese/sauce as well) and the Ricky which was unlike any other broccoli rabe sandwich I’ve had before (a huge pile of broccoli rabe cooked in a pan with the sausage, really soft semolina bread). The quality of ingredients is amazing, but the folks at Lil Frankie’s Grocery were the best. The chef checked in on us through the window while we were sitting outside and even gave us sodas, which made our day! John was also so hospitable and friendly, we loved chatting with him. Will definitely be back again to try every sandwich on the menu, and will need to come grab a late night grandma slice at some point!

★★★★★ 5.0 Charlotte · May 2023

We had insanely delicious sandwiches there and their Italian lemonades where the perfect drink to it. And the vibe in there was also amazing and the guy serving us was so nice too. Will def come a 100 times more, a beyond meat or vegan chicken Sandwich would be amazing tho.

I’m rarely compelled to leave a review for a restaurant but I had one of the best sandwiches of my life here today. You must try it.
