Steak and cheese was ok. Definitely does the job. Wouldn't say its worth 16 dollars but it is the middle of no where and I was just passing through. Service was quick.

David it was a pleasure meeting you & your staff. The steak bomb 💣 without the salami was delicious not salty and premium quality ingredients especially the meat, very good bread as well. I & my daughter shared it & loved it. Honestly was one of the best I've ever ate & I've tried alot. The ranch wrap was great as well my girlfriend loved it so much she ate the whole thing. I was surprised due to its size it was a big meal. Little man ate ham & cheese and kept saying he loved everything about it I'm not pulling your chain thanks for that again. Your staff and yourself are very welcoming we enjoyed the hospitality. Your store was very clean & well put together with a great menu selection of unseen choices you dont really see around. We will be back for sure. God bless you once again from yo

The steak bomb is absolutely outrageous. I can't believe how good it is. The steak quality isn't far superior to other shops in the area.

These guys are AWESOME! I've worked in Reading/North Reading for 4 years and I finally got over here. First of all, the guys working here are hilarious. I spent more time chatting with them than I did eating my food haha. Their bread is homemade and phenomenal. Steak bomb is my go to. Two days in a row and I'll be back at least twice a week. Keep up the great work guys!

★★★★★ 5.0 Deborah Sutliff · Jul 2019

While the AC wasn't cool like I hoped in this hot July afternoon, the food more than made up for it. The pizza was delicious, the salad crisp and tasty, and the chicken salad excellent. The star that store the show however, was the homemade, hot and fresh from the oven sub rolls - simply amazing! Super nice staff too.
