Simply the best for breakfast or lunch!! The focaccia bread is the perfect choice for sandwiches! check out their daily special menu!

Stopped here today to get some sandwiches quickly before heading to the shore for the afternoon. It was tiny, tucked in the back - sandwiches were good, with a good amount of meat and freshly made bread. I ended up getting a salad which was great, but hard to eat with only my fingers because they didn't give me any utensils so that took away from the experience. We will definitely come back again this summer!! read more

Great selection of foods. Service prompt, friendly and courteous. There is not much of an ambiance since it's a take out location except It is clean and well kept. read more

I was traveling through Connecticut and I was hungry and I found Bun on the run. I like the name so I stopped by. I was so taken back by Ally as she knew every customer's name that was coming in. She was so Warm and friendly. And even made me feel important. As I waited for my sandwich, I saw a constant flow of people coming in and out getting the sandwiches and seeing this great customer service. When it was my turn and she called me and thanked me I took my sandwich and I thanked her. I went to my car and I had the most amazing prosciutto Panini EVER. GROWING UP IN NEW JERSEY IN THE MADELINE'S AREA WE HAD THE BENEFIT OF SUCH GREAT FOOD. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW AMAZING THE SANDWICH WAS. I WALKED BACK INTO THE STORE AND THANKED THEM. WHENEVER I AM IN CONNECTICUT, I WILL BE STOPPING BY THE STORE. Thank you bun on the run.! read more

We got the spicy Italian panini. Large , Excellent and reasonable price. Sweet welcoming staff, fast efficient service. Don't be discouraged by the amount of people waiting for their order. They put order out quickly and everything is fresh. There is a lot of parking. It is a takeout. A couple bench inside and a pick-nick table outside. We will go back . read more

A little breakfast and lunch takeout restaurant that is kind of hidden. They are my go-to for breakfast on my way to work! Both breakfast and lunch is excellent. My favorite breakfast is the Sausage, Mushroom, Egg and Swiss sandwich! All of the Bun choices are delicious! Their lunch specials are also amazing. If you are in a hurry - call ahead. They are almost always busy! But definitely worth the wait! read more

One of the specials of the day. Soo good! My office each got one and raved about it! Will order again for sure. read more

I've been enjoying a Chicken Cordon Blue wrap, from Bun on the Run for about ten years now. Top 3 sandwiches I've ever had. The others are excellent as well, from what I hear. read more

I love their yeasty buns. I had an arugula, pear, prosciutto sandwich. That was so good. I'll be back.

I've eaten here on several occasions and find the food OK but very overpriced. Service kind of half-and-half, sometimes friendly sometimes not. read more

I went there for the first time today. It was excellent! The people working were really nice... They asked me if it was my first time and thanked me for coming. I got the Rachel special sandwich on their bun... It was absolutely delicious. The home made coleslaw was the perfect anlut and added the perfect amount of bite. I would highly recommend and can't wait to come back to try breakfast. read more

Delicious sandwiches from Bun on the Run. Spinach artichoke panini was on a tasty Rosemary focaccia. The chicken was well seasoned and not dry, artichoke spread was great. My partner had the Russian roast beef special on the country French roll and he loved it. The sandwich was messy but very good! We will be back to try the others! read more

Popped in for lunch while on vacation in the area & enjoyed it so much we had to return for breakfast the next day! For lunch we had two sandwich specials - a grilled pesto chicken on focaccia & a turkey bacon blue cheese combination - both were delicious made to order with high quality fresh ingredients. For breakfast we had a bacon egg & cheese sandwich and the breakfast burrito - again fantastic, generous sized portions at very reasonable prices. Perfect pickup for beach or park picnics, can't wait to go back! read more

Difficult to order over the phone but once you get through everything is perfect especially the sub sandwiches.

was given clam chowder in stead of split pea, called them back to let them know that they messed up my order for the third time. I am allergic to seafood, and the manager told me it was my fault for not notifying them of my allergies. the wrong item, is the wrong item. I stressed that their mistake could hurt someone! Her response was that they would refund my money. I PAID CASH, no way to refund. I was left with no lunch. I will not recommend this place to anyone.. read more

Good sandwich. Easy location. Speedy service. Would visit again next time I'm in town. Thanks you!

I've been coming here for years and the food (and the team) are excellent. Highly recommend!

What a great little spot. We were visiting from Long Island so we just wanted a good breakfast sandwich before getting on the road and we were blown away by how amazing the breakfast sandwiches were. The staff was enthusiastic and we didn't have to wait long for our food at all. They have tons of options to choose from for great prices. We will be back! read more

Bun On The Run - Bacon, egg & cheese with a hashbrown! - Sandwiches Near Me - Centerbrook, Connecticut

The absolute best. Every single option on the menu - from sandwiches to soups to salads to their daily specials - is incredible. They're always busy, but remarkably efficient and friendly. This place is a MUST visit. 10/10 recommend. read more

Very delicious creative sandwiches! Super fresh ingredients, Lots of bread options. Fast service.

The grinders that they sling in this tiny, unassuming, out of the way lunch joint are absolutely out of this world. I had the pleasure of having a chicken grinder the other day and every single bite was a crispy, crunchy extravaganza. The chicken tortilla soup is also spot-on. The "cup" size is huge! It's more like 2 cups. The staff/owners are incredibly friendly, and service was prompt. They are always playing great tunes, and it is a pleasure to go in and visit. It is worth noting that there is nowhere to sit. This is strictly a take-out only restaurant. I was a little disappointed at this when I first visited, but I guess the name "Bun on the Run" really should have been a clue! I'll definitely be visiting again next time I am in the area!! read more

Was up from NYC visiting family, and my brother recommended this place. I would never have found it on my own, as it is tucked into a one story building perpendicular to the main road. But now that I know where to find them I will be back! Tiny but mighty sandwich place with homey breads, fresh ingredients, soups and lots of other yummy things I haven't tried yet. I hope the neighborhood keeps them in business...please support them so they stick around for a long time! read more

Eaten here twice. Once i got an amazing sandwich and once i got an amazing salad that I still wished was the amazing sandwich. Amazingly good. I'm never in the area and think they should open up in Hartford. read more

I call ahead and the food is usually just coming out of the kitchen... hot and fresh...service is Great and the food is a joy to eat... price is reasonable... I highly recommend... read more

I love this place. Hands down. Fantastic food. Priced right. Changing menu keeps it fresh and interesting. Great staff Keep up the great work BOTR!! read more

Love this place. There food is always great and always fair priced. Very friendly people.

Bun on the Run is hands down the best place on the CT shoreline for a fantastically fresh breakfast sandwich. My husband and I have made it a weekly stop! Their menu is GIGANTIC--there are a ridiculous amount of options for both breakfast and lunch. Keep up the fantastic work and don't change a thing here! read more

Sandwich inventions are always a nice idea but often end up being on the greasy side (but when you are in the mood for a meaty cheesy meaty Sammie, it's a flavor step up from Subway) I find the bread to be a little lazy, a better bread would have made me a regular customer. It's also a bit on the pricey side for what you are actually getting quality wise. read more

Great breakfast spot. Food is always great. Have had this sandwich and their Chorizo one, recommend either. They're pretty quick too if you're in a rush. read more

Have been for breakfast only. Fast, friendly and delicious. They certainly deliver on the name. The SQUAW roll has become a favorite, as has the breakfast burrito on any of the delicious wraps. Be sure to add avocado and a hash brown! Hopefully they'll add a few chairs outside for summer. read more

Far and away the best lunch place in the area! Top tier sandwiches, rotated on a daily specials menu. The rosemary focaccia bun is my go-to, and any panini on the specials menu is an immediate must-try. They're often very busy, but the staff is always super friendly - and if you call ahead you won't have to wait long. Can't recommend Bun enough! read more

just stopped here and had the roast beef panini. Delicious. Highly recommend.

Great little shop, fresh and delicious sandwiches, outstanding staff (even though they were extremely busy, they were very friendly and helpful). I got turkey on a country french roll and my boyfriend got the roast beef with gorgonzola - both tasty and perfectly portioned. I wish we lived closer, we would be regulars. read more

Solid sandwiches, got the pressed chicken wrap and the Italian panini. Will be back!!
