    Spicy Italian panini

    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 .

    Horseradish Roast Beef Panini

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

    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.

    Salad with grilled chicken

    Great food and great prices! Lots of food for the price. They were very busy when I went, so it looks like people already know they're pretty great.The eggplant Panini is amazing!

    Spinach Artichoke Panini

    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!

There are some things in your video review you wrote up that are not accurate (and some things that you wrote that we're not accurate from my perspectivs) that I would like to have a chance to respond to... Whatever menu I was handed that had the lobster roll description on It did not have a description that included onions. There seem to have been multiple menus the restaurant had that day. When I was outside a server said that she would bring over the lobster menu (this menu was not given to me) when I was reading off of the original menu I was given the lobster roll did not include onion. Honest mistake of wrong menu being given, but it helps for customers to know what ingredients are in things like that when dealing with food sensitivities. The server never checked in to ask how the meal was/if I needed anything. I was a server for over 10 years and I know that's the first things I do after dropping off someone's food to ensure everything is good. There was food left on my plate, fries. Thanks for the refund, and I hope trying another time I will find it to be a better experience!

We all had egg sandwiches to go (two wraps and two traditional) and enjoyed them. Iced tea was good. Service was very good. The store has a lot of interesting items, especially if you like nostalgic candies. Decor was very charming. There's a deli case that might be great for lunch and I didn't read the menus on the walls. Sandwiches are made fresh and they appear to either have a bakery or a relationship with one as there were quite a few pastries that looked creative and fresh. It takes some time to make the food so my recommendation is to call them ahead of time so it is ready when you arrive. There are a few tables inside and a few more outside so there is seating. If you read my reviews you might know that the highest I give on a first visit is 4 stars. If I go back and the place is excellent again I raise it to 5. This is so that a place that is consistently the best of the best (vs a one time great experience) gets 5 stars over a place that just does it once. Olive Oyl's would definitely be eligible for a 5th star and I'm virtually certain to give it to them on the next visit. It was such a perfect combination of choices, quality, service and ambiance! We've been coming to Essex for so many years and always passed this place by for no reason in particular. Now I think we will visit every time we're in town!

I needed some smoked items (boneless turkey breast, boneless ham) in fairly large quantities, and the staff were great at helping me sort through my options, unlike the $$$ caterers who invariably just gave me a checklist where the items rarely matched my plans. The guys at Cliff's were patient and helpful, and super-cheerful. The special order was ready right on schedule -- they do their own smoking -- and the quality of the items was outstanding, not just in my opinion, but also as reflected in the endless compliments made by my guests. The meat was not delivered like some sloppy product, but was beautifully produced, attractive, and easy to cut and serve. Perfect. The total cost was not simply reasonable -- for the quality and service, it was a steal. Other than the crowd that sometimes gathers at lunch time, I lover going to Cliff's, not simply for the outstanding range of offerings, but because I like the vibe of the place. Every time I've been there, all I see are enthusiastic and appreciative customers, and true experts delivering superior products in an upbeat, helpful way. I don't dispute anyone else's experience, but the points of criticism I read here are not at all part of my experience. I love Cliff's!
