Ordered 2 sandwiches from here for pickup. Order estimate was 30 minutes and it was ready when we got there. The interior is nice feels warm and cosy. I ordered the 'famous chicken cheesesteak' which is a hot sub comes with onions peppers and mushrooms. I asked for no cheese and it actually worked this time because a previous time it still had cheese despite the request. Sandwich was good - bread was soft and the shredded chicken meat was plentiful. Veggies were a bit on the lighter side. I ate half of the 12 inch sub for dinner and saved the other half for the next day. Hubs ordered one of the cold cut sandwiches with ham and turkey supposed to have tomatoes- but there were no tomatoes. :( He thought the sandwich was okay. Saved his half for lunch leftovers as well. I would give a 3.5 stars for the missing ingredients. Overall okay experience, will try some other sandwiches next time.

maybe some of the cheapest eats in boston -- and a can't miss for that reason!! this place obviously benefits from being a regional chain and having a fairly simple menu. still, in this economy, a $6 hot and fresh bagel sandwich that i'm not questioning the cleanliness of? everything. cashier was friendly and accomodating of my modifications, food came out in under 5 minutes, and the shop was neat, clean, and warm. a million times better than subway or any other national chain. maybe not the most exciting culinary experience, but as far as value goes, broke girls and students -- bennett's got you!!

Would've gone 3.5 stars if available. Got a steak and cheese and thought it was decent. Not really a standout - but wouldn't rush to go back. Service was average.

I had the port fries from this place before and I obviously knew I had to get them again since they were excellent last time (maybe even the best fries I've ever had) but this time I was interested in trying out the sandwiches. I went with their steak and cheese. I ordered their through a catering app at work, but despite it being delivery, it was still warm when it arrived. It was a decently sized sandwich, about 8 inches long. I took a bite and my first thought was, "wow, this is the softest bread I've ever had." It reminded me of the buns they use for baos where it's malleable, soft, and pale in color. This wrapped around a heap of meat that was perfectly cooked, but I wish the cheese flavor was more prominent. I think because it was mixed in with the meat, it was hard to distinguish the taste. I do wish it came with a sauce or had a spread to make the sandwich more interesting, or less dry. The fries were as delicious as last time (only some were a but overcooked) and the sauce it comes with was amazing. Overall, very much enjoyed the food once again.

I've tried the pastrami, italian signature sub, and the f-bomb. I love sandwiches and this place definitely is now my go-to place for subs now! They have 3 different sizes so I decided to do the kids size for two different sandwiches because I wanted to try both. The bread is so yummy and the chicken isn't dry at all but super juicy. I ordered in and it was fast in making it. I would recommend this place for a quick yummy bite that is also affordable!

GOD BLESS AMERICA...and this sandwich!! Never have I ever had a better sub in my life. The bread,…read morethe meats, the toppings; everything tasted like the best of the best! Walking through the front door is like walking through a secret portal to Italy (I'm not kidding). The smells and sights of fresh meat hanging from the ceiling is what I imagine heaven to be like! I ordered the Italian sub. First of all, it is HUGE in both length and circumference. One sub can easily be split between two people. The bread-to-meat ratio is perfect. I could taste each individual ingredient with every bite, which is a unique experience that only happens when everything is fresh and flavorful as can be. I think this place just ruined subs for me because no other will come close to being THIS good. If I were on death row, this sandwich would be part of my last meal. I feel like I cannot adequately put into words just how amazing it is. Do yourself a favor and check this place out sooner than later! :)

I came for the much heralded Italian sandwich and it did not disappoint…read more Small, 2-room shop on Salem Street, right next to Bova's Bakery, good for Italian provisions and artful Italian sandwiches. As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

I'd heard of Sam LaGrassa's for years but had never managed to make it there. My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

I've had this bookmarked for quite some time and finally made the decision to stop by. I ordered…read morethe Southwestern Pastrami (no bbq sauce) and my partner ordered the Chicken Mafia. He ate his fresh and liked it enough to want to go back. He felt it was big enough to split into 2 meals, which is a plus since the prices here are pretty steep. I had mine cold, so I didn't like it as much. The tomatoes made the bread soggy, but the sandwich was packed with pastrami. The pickles they give though... so good and a perfect bite in between each sandwich bite or a good lil snack at the end. I like how they pack everything for take out. The boxes are secure, they don't skimp on the sauces and wrap them in plastic wrap and the pickles are in mini ziploc bags to ensure the juices don't spill on everything. Very thoughtful packaging. Since I ordered for pick up, they do have curbside where you double park out front and they can bring it to you, or you can run in and tell them the name it's under and they'll hand it to you when ready. For a Tuesday afternoon, service is not fast nor slow. The inside of the restaurant gave deli vibes, which I personally like. It's quite busy and they have some cool signs and photos up. I'll definitely be back to try it fresh!

I didn't realize this would be a true hole in the wall; no bathrooms, only three or four tables, you order at the counter. So if you're looking for a sit-down spot, have a backup plan. We got lucky and grabbed a table but it felt like a miracle. This is really more of a takeout spot. The menu is simple: cold and hot sandwiches, about four or five options per category. The sandwiches were delicious, especially the Calabria, packed with prosciutto, spicy soppressata, hot capicola, sharp provolone, Calabrian chili aioli, and arugula. They couldn't substitute the arugula, so I skipped it but it was still the star of the show. My husband had the roast beef and it was good, but the Calabria won. Fair warning: these sandwiches are HUGE. We were so full from lunch we could barely finish dinner and my one regret was not splitting one. Come hungry or come with a plan! The place is a bit chaotic. It took close to 30 minutes to get our order; they were slammed. The guy at the counter was all over the place and forgot to give us our drinks or tell us to grab them from the fridge. But at $17 for a sandwich this thick and this good, it's a great deal in Boston's South End. The flavors made it all worth it.
