    An unexpected awesome place .... I think we wish we found this place earlier on our trip. The rock special won't let you down.

    Great little grinder shop. I got the Italian classic and it was perfect. Bread was perfect, meat and seasonings fresh. Highly recommended

    Menu as of 11/30/2017.

    Bennedito's. (4 stars). "Grinder: A common term in New England, its origin has several possibilities.[27] One theory has the name coming from Italian-American slang for a dock worker, among whom the sandwich was popular.[5] Others say it was called a grinder because it took a lot of chewing to eat the hard crust of the bread used.[28] In Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and parts of New England the term grinder usually refers to a hot submarine sandwich (meatball; sausage; etc.), whereas a cold sandwich (e.g., cold cuts) is usually just simply called a "sub".[29]" - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_sandwich#Grinder U never forget ur first grindah! My first grinder was devoured in Rhode Island from Red Bridge Tavern many years ago & I have been looking for a place out in Groton for a while. My New England buddies were actually at home for a change so they told me about Bennedito's being a great place to go. My friend & I hopped in the car & decided to make a lunch run. Bennedito's is located a few blocks away from Electric Boat General Dynamics (yes the one that builds submarines)! Without my trusty GPS I would have been lost. Bennedito's is located on a residential street & if u blink, u just might miss it. There are no tables or chairs or any place to dine-in. This is strictly a take-out only establishment. But it's so worth it! There are two guys who work in the kitchen making all grinders to order. I ordered the following: -Italian Combo Italian Combo - $6.50 (Small). (4 stars). What I love about this grinder is the fresh & crunchy bread along with the high quality deli meats that are used. The Italian Combo comes with Capicola, Salami, & Ham. The "Capi" was cured beautifully & had such a deep porky flavor which was finger-licking good! The salami was peppery & garlicky. Very intense flavors that shined through. The Ham was tender & tasty but in all honesty was lost when matched with the other two Italian "heavy-hitters" above. The lettuce was fresh & crisp! I probably should have asked them to melt my cheese as the coldness of the cheese was a bit underwhelming. However, I would go back to Bennedito's the next time I have a wicked bad craving for a tasty grinder. The grinders are approximately 10" in length for the SMALL & packed with fresh ingredients. If we had this same shop in Hawaii I guarantee u it would cost double! --- All in all, I'm glad we came here. It is about a 5 minute drive from base so it's convenient & relatively quick to get a tasty meal. My friend ordered the Meatball grinder & we both really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat it until we were back at work so I couldn't take a photo of it. However, the next time I go back I'll definitely get a HOT grinder. Either the Meatball or Eggplant!!

    Large ham only $7.00 with tax it's huge and you can't forget a deli pickle to go with it.

    See all

    The place is dirty! I wouldn't eat anything there if you paid me! The people who recommended it must have food poisoning resistance

    If it's not too busy the owner is good for great conversation and if he's seen you twice he'll remember your grinder.

    It's so nice to have a store on this street again. I didn't realize how much I missed the…read moreconvenience of having something right here until Montauk Market opened. It's a bit of a mix of deli, smoothie shop, gourmet grocery, & local gift shop. I can't speak to the deli portion, but I have had the smoothie bowls a few times. The quality/presentation of the bowls sometimes varies, but the taste is always great. Although a bit pricey, I really appreciate their collection of gourmet grocery items. I found a mezcal lime sausage & a garlic aioli here, both of which I really enjoyed. One final compliment for Montauk Market - thank you for being open 7 days a week. Very much appreciated. (8:00 to 18:00 every day, for anyone wondering.)

Seriously though this tiny little market is tucked off of Montauck Ave. Street parking is available - which is an easy find off season but I can imagine business will pick up as soon as beach season begins. This place is meant to be a market as there is no seating inside but there is one small table outside - be prepared to grab & go friends! While the menu is small, it is mighty! The portions are substantial and flavorful! I love that I can customize my sub with several options to select from - lots of add ons from veggies to toppings like mayo or humus. There are plenty of drink options from coolers and lots of salty crunchy snacks to make for a perfect meal. Since this is a market you can pick up a few "staples" as well as local products! If you are in the area and want a no frills experience, certainly check this place out. Everyone I've encountered here is super friendly .
