Stumbled upon this place while looking for a deli shop. It was easy to find but you can tell it gets busy. The place is a good size but on the smaller side. They have a variety of sandwiches, salads and soups. As well as pastries and glass bottled drinks. Staff were friendly and helped me decide which sandwich to choose since it was my first time there. I went with the Picante Chicken sandwich which has a good amount of heat from their house made picante sauce, tasted delicious and the bread was soft and fresh. I also got the potato salad as a side. The portion is small but a great sample size for me to determine if I want a bigger size next time, which I will get a bigger size my next visit. Overrall, great first sandwich, awesome service. Also saw alot of people come pick up their order. Can't wait to go back! read more

My go to for takeout sandwiches. The London Broil alone is worth going for. They bake their own rolls and they are always fresh.

Calling from a phone booth at the corner of 5th & Rowe in Gotham City, James Gordon waits impatiently for an answer in the third issue of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez's reimagined Batman series. "C'mon, c'mon...Harvey, what took so long? Asleep on the phone again?" "Well, if it ain't the world's oldest beat cop, Jumpin' Jimmy Gordon. How's the shin splints, rook?" "Very funny. I need you to toss up the signal. Something's up with [Police Commissioner Vandal] Savage." "Something's up with Savage. Real genius detective work there, Jim." Harvey Bullock's sarcasm drips off the panel. "Harv, I'm serious. The GCPD has declared open season on Bats...it's about to get ugly." Bullock sighs, swears, and thrusts a bat plushie through his vertical blinds. "Consider the bat-signal activated." Luckily, for us restaurant-goers who live in the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia, for anyone out of town), we don't need a physical bat plushie to call our taste buds to the thriving, independent sandwich shop, Bon Fresco, located on 6945 Oakland Mills Rd in Columbia, Maryland. There, the homemade ciabatta casts a culinary spell in sandwiches ranging from classic chicken salad to curry chicken salad and a London Broil to a pork loin delight. read more

I came across this as I searched my yelp. Read the reviews and I appeared here. I was greeted with a sweet cashier once I entered. There are many sandwich options but the one that stood out was the signage on the counter. I chose the London Broiled Thinly slice steak on Ciabotta. I see why this is a popular choice. Mouth watering delicious!! Its a constant customer flow but not a wait. My sandwich came out hot and toasted quickly. This is not a fancy looking place. Rather a lil unorganized but not that it bothered the food and service. There are some seats inside but I chose to eat in the car. The breads are baked here fresh. If you are in the area and a sandwich would be it...stop by and you will be agreeing with the mouth watering great taste to your buds. Satisfied customer. read more

Amazing! Ordered the London broil, picante chicken breast sandwich and the clam chowder. The chowder was ok, but I was told I need to try their tomato soup instead. The sandwiches on the other hand were so delicious. The balance of flavors and the airiness of the bread but crisp at the same time. I definitely will come back to try other sandwiches. read more

How have I never reviewed this place????? Been here so many times. Geez I started coming here 15 years ago with work friends. Because it's just that good. My understanding is that all of the baked goods are made from scratch fresh daily in the restaurant. So the breads are great. The various sandwiches and other lunchtime mains are fantastic. Service is great -- the staff is always polite and happy. Definitely not quiet but not loud at all. It is very small with limited and tight tables. Buddy and I sat outside today to eat, surprisingly. It's mid-winter. read more

I love this food! The bread is fresh baked, and everything is made in house and so good! Yes, the sides are tiny but they taste really good. I love the crisp and flakiness of the bread and the warm soft inside. The picante chicken is my go to every time I want to try something new, I just can't! I don't want to miss my fav! Everyone who works there is smiley and helps you decide if you aren't sure. Good customer service. It's a smaller space. There are a few tables to sit and eat. Maybe enough for 15 people in close proximity. They have a restroom as well. read more

Excellent sandwiches! Fresh baked bread that's crisp on the outside and soft in the inside makes a huge difference. Top that off with freshly baked meats and you have a top notch sandwich. We went with the 2 bestsellers - London Broil and the Picante Chicken. Delicious! So fresh and tasty. Please open in Nova and I'll be a regular for sure. read more

Went with the London broil sandwich since the cashier said it was most popular, and it was so yummy! The ingredients tasted fresh and balanced and the bread was super crunch and sturdy. Could do with a bit less lettuce but cannot complain because there was also ample meat. Sauce was the right amount, too. Overall, really enjoyed this sandwich! Definitely a take to-go kind of spot, but would visit again. read more

One of the best sandwiches in the area (London Broil) soups are good as well. The sandwiches are very consistent so you know what you are getting read more

Best. Sandwich. Bread. Dang. Must. Eat. Again. So yeah, I liked it. :-D We had a weekday lunch here and it was jumpin' - a ton of people in and out. We ordered and got our sammys pretty quickly. I had the London broil on fresh baked roll. Holy cow. The roll was so fresh the crust crackled with every bite. You just can't get better than that. Oh, except to pile it with London broil and cheese! We've been back several times since and I've tried other sandwiches. They're good, but nothing beats the broil roll! read more

The food was delicious. The bread was very fresh. The London Broil very tasty. I wish they had Coke products. My favorite. read more

This is a great place to go for soups and sandwiches! I've been there a couple of times. I've gotten their London broil, mozzarella, tomatoes and prosciutto sandwiches. They make their rolls on site, so the bread is fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also have gotten just a bowl of soup; and with cand a piece of that great bread. Lunch time is busy there, but they move the orders fast. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy the sandwiches or you can take it out. I like this place a lot. That's why I'll keep going back read more

Ok the London broil sandwich is fantastic on a French bread baguette. This place is known for it, so I won't waste time telling you about the perfect steak is tender and delicious. What people sleep on is the soup. I had a bowl of the tomato saffron soup which came with the softest mini loaf of bread. Both myself and my toddler finished a bowl and loaf. Saffron is not something I would think of adding to soup which is weird cause I grew up with saffron in everything including ice cream. It is delectable. This is a great carry out place (very few tables) to check out during their limited daytime hours. read more

Had London Broil and Italian. Not super hot but Picante sauce flavor is excellent if you are ok with spicy.

The sandwiches are the best in HOCO and probably beyond. Fresh, homemade, huge but light, ciabatta rolls stuffed with deliciousness.

Loved London broil sandwich bread excellent friendly staff! Will return when I make it back to the area.

The sandwiches here have been great ... especially the ones in the round bread roll. That bread just has the perfect texture for sandwiches. The outside has a very thin and crispy crust, and the inside soft but isn't too pillowy. It's hard to explain. You just have to try it out. Their corned beef sandwich and london broil served on that roll are so good. Unfortunately, we recently we got a chicken breast sandwich with the baguette, and that did not deliver a good experience (it was excellent in the past). The little chicken, the chicken was dry, the red peppers and onions did not have much flavor. The filling just didn't taste good. I don't know what happened or of this was just a fluke because the chicken sandwiches i had here in the past were great. The saving grace was the baguette was very good and we can see why people just buy the baguette to take home. Anyway, I'm giving this place 4 stars b/c the sandwiches have been excellent, but really i might have to give it 3 due to the poor chicken sandwich, but i'm hoping it was a fluke. read more

Love this hole in the wall. The London Broil is the way to go. It's their most popular and delicious sandwich!

Best sandwich place in town. I love their bread and soups as well. This is a small place but good for a couple friends to get together and hang out and catch up. Staff is friendly and service is fast. read more

We came here for lunch one busy weekday in Fall 2024. Bon Fresco does a thriving carryout business at this location. It's small and cramped parking lot made me wonder whether the design is ideally suited for a whole bunch of coming and going; to us it did not matter as our plan was to eat in. We ordered the London Broil "special" and enjoyed it thoroughly. Everything was just about perfect in terms of the food itself: freshness, taste, flavor, size (big without being ridiculous) and price (just over $10). There were a lot of places Bob Fresco could have fallen short but we found nothing, food-wise, to improve upon. Ambience-wise, the tiny and cramped seating area was hot (had to be 80 degrees if not close), cramped and just a little bit dirty. These certainly are areas for improvement and I withheld a star accordingly. read more

The service was great, the people working were super kind and friendly, and super willing to help first time customers with great recommendations and suggestions. The food was delicious, I got the picante chicken sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever had. The bread is freshly baked in house every morning and it's super soft and flaky, it's to die for. The seating is small and compact, but super homey and cozy inside. The atmosphere is very nice. If you're looking for a local sandwich spot and don't wanna break the budget this is the best place to go for sure. read more

I went to Bob Fresco with a few friends one Spring evening before we went to play tennis. I moved to Maryland in March so this is one of my first eating out experiences as a new Maryland resident. It was a cool day so my friends were thinking soup and sandwich. There was a special for the London Broil sandwich and one of my friends recommended it. It was sooo good!! Everything from the fresh made bread to the meat and all that goes on the sandwich paired well together. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The service was good as well, but not very memorable to be honest. We were there close to their closing time and they weren't rushing us out so that counts for something. The place is a bit small but there are a few tables for customers who want to dine in. It is clean and is located in a nice quiet area in Columbia. I recommend coming here to try the London Broil sandwich. I've yet to go back and try anything else from the menu, but I'm confident they have other great items to satisfy taste buds. read more

The London broil is delish, fast service, well priced and always good. A few tables inside to eat at as well if you don't want it to go.

Just came back to say their picante fresco is soooo good as well, I am not a vegetarian but I will get it again! Again, their bread is amazing, but the vegetables are seasoned so well and flavorful, you won't miss the meat! read more

Get the London Broil sandwich and prepare to have your mind blown. It is served with chargrilled London broil with provolone and mayo on a warm ciabatta bun. Everything about this sandwich is fresh down to the mayo. OMG read more

The prices are moderate and the sandwiches, soups good, depending on which type you get. The chicken breast was overcooked and dry but the mozzarella pesto sandwich good. Bread is fresh. Staff are super nice. read more

London Broil never disappoints. Best sandwich imo and the chocolate chip cookies are a must too!

Their sandwiches have been consistently good except today. The London broil had wilted romaine lettuce and it did not taste as good. Disappointed after paying $12 per sandwich read more

Wow! The London broil was great! My only wish is there was something to dip the sandwich in and that the meat was a tad more seasoned. We also tried the mozzarella/tomato/pesto sandwich. Great! We only hoped the caramelized onions would be more flavorful. The lentil soup was amazing!!! Our service was on point; friendly, prompt and accurate. You have the option to dine in if there is seating! We definitely sat inside as we could not wait to get home! This is a great lunch spot or place to take the family. It is cool enough to eat inside if you desire to. read more

Finally made it to Bon Fresco with the hubby after years of meaning to visit. We're so glad we did. Sandwich was bomb. Soup was excellent. And THAT BREAD. My husband literally cannot stop talking about that bread. We were even charmed by the ambiance - what it lacks in comfort/decor it makes up for with a sort of neighborhood-y, serious eats buzz, à la The Beef in The Bear. The prices don't hurt either. A good value, perfectly executed sandwich made with love??? Consider me in. read more

My favorite thing to get from here is the salad where you pick 4 toppings! I suggest the curry chicken salad, hummus, grilled veggies and the couscous! Yum! read more

Awsome sammies! Amazing bread, delicious ingredients, bangin' sauces smoking overall....MMMMMmmmmm!! I go every week

Bread lovers rejoice! This sandwich place actually bakes their own bread and it is heavenly! The sandwich rolls are like ciabatta rolls except much much tastier. Heated, it has a crusty outside and soft and airy inside. It definitely makes every sandwich so delicious. I especially like their picante sandwiches, they add some sort of pepper sauce that give it a vinegary spicy kick but not to hot that it covers up the flavors of the different sandwich filling. I think I e tried most of the different picante sandwiches. read more

Always get my sandwiches to go. They're very quick and they sandwiches are delicious. The bread they make is a 10/10. Go-to is ALWAYS the London broil and I don't even like beef that much! read more

I used to work near Bon Fresco, so it was a treat to come here for lunch. I always ordered their London Broil, which is their most popular item on the menu. Their bread is made in-house, which complements the meat and sauce on the sandwich so well. read more

Amazing food! The house-crafted ciabatta is the best I've ever tasted; it elevates the London Broil sandwich to a must-have treat. I never leave without ordering extra ciabatta rolls to take home. We've always been very happy with anything we've gotten at BF, including sandwich platters for guests/events. For groups, we've cut the sandwiches in halves or thirds so different ones can be sampled. Guests rave! read more
