The one with pesto, chicken cutlet, and tomato packed a ton of sharp garlic flavor in every bite, while the basic chicken parm with cheese was also delicious. Sandwiches are gargantuan--one easily feeds two hungry people. I would recommend going there if you have transportation (I did not) because they arrived a bit cold and very late on UberEats (but I don't fault the restaurant for any of that).

I ordered their Cold Sandwich #4 via Grubhub and I appreciate that their prices are the same as their website. The chicken cutlet is nicely seasoned and has a good thickness. It does get slightly overtaken by the mozzarella simply because of the size of it. The seeded semolina was soft, slightly chewy, but mostly fresh. I absolutely loved the chipotle mayo and cold crispness of the lettuce and fresh tomato that brightened each bite. I know this is a cold sandwich but I would honestly prefer it if the chicken cutlet and semolina bread was warm. They had other sandwiches that caught my eye, so I'll just have to go back soon. Good try!

I was re-living my 90s video game memories by playing classics on the Super Nintendo emulator. Lot of classics, but super shout out to Donkey Kong Country 2, that I easily remembered after years.

I was quite busy playing the video games that the food was secondary. However, I didn't hate a single bite of it. That's a good sign. Love reminiscing over childhood nostalgia playing video games!

Perhaps the best tuna sandwich I've ever had. If you're a tuna sandwich aficionado you MUST try this.

Went to this Blimpie today. I am new to the area, and wanted to get a sandwich. The lady at the counter making my sandwich made a comment about the Red Sox shirt I was wearing. Then she completely went off on a tirade about how much she cannot stand the Red Sox and hates them. Then she started yelling at me, telling me to 'just get out.' I could not have been more disappointed with my experience here. I just went in to get a bite to eat and I was harassed by some lunatic employee. Needless to say, I will not be visiting this Blimpie again anytime soon. I don't quite think I have ever experience such unprofessionalism in my life. read more

They have a huge variety of sandwiches on the menu, from classic combos to more creative, loaded options, so there's something for everyone. We ordered the chicken Caesar, the Hell Raiser, and the Jimmy Z, and each one brought something different to the table. The chicken cutlets were cooked perfectly and not greasy at all. You can taste how incredibly fresh the mozzarella was which really stood out, and the bread was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. What really impressed me was how generous the portions were. These sandwiches are packed! Super filling and worth the price (14$). You can tell they don't cut corners with quality or quantity. Only downside is parking can be a bit of a struggle in the area, so plan ahead. But once you take that first bite, you won't even care.
