This place offers fantastic value. Huge sandwiches, generous portions of excellent quality ingredients, all for unbeatable prices. Where else can you get a huge sandwich or delicious salad for under 10 bucks? I'd eat lunch here everyday if I still worked in the area! If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and try it out! The good food comes with a good feeling of supporting a good local business.

Great salad bar. Very fresh and many options. My husband loved his sandwich. Very big portions. Line looks long, but moves fast. They have the best ages cheddar!

Today, 2/16/26, after feeling very down I stopped into Nelson's with my wife for lunch. I recently lost a very close family member and I have been having a difficult time in general. Nelson's staff was so kind and friendly and without having any idea as to what was going on in my world, they made me smile for the first time in days. The food as always was fantastic, but more importantly the sense of family and community Nelson's exhibits is unmatched. Thank you Nelson's for always being here for us and we will always be there for you.

This is my ideal sandwich shop. Prices are fair, sandwiches are made pretty quickly, and they don’t tack on any unnecessary service fees or flip their tablet around pressuring you to tip for counter service. Each of our sandwiches was $8 and both were filled with ingredients. Compared to sandwich chains like Jimmy John’s, the value was incredible. I was pretty hungry and ordered a Hot Hero with a side of pasta salad, but probably could have gone without the pasta. The sandwiches were filling and tasted great. If you are in a rush, order a cold sandwich, as the hot ones can take a few more minutes especially when it is busy. Otherwise, I really suggest a sandwich like the hot hero - it was so good. All of the workers were kind and did their job very well… they run a tight ship in there a
