I work nearby, would it kill these guys to add some vegan proteins? I got the only vegan thing they offer, a wrap filled with lettuce and shredded carrots. Weak. read more

REALLY GOOD sandwich joint at the BC area. I am surprised I never got the chance to stop by here! Flatbreads and El Pelon are the best. I got their famous Chicken Caesar wrap with an Arizona-- it was great! Give you a choice of bacon or avocado to add on. Service here is incredible as well. The owner and the cook are so friendly! I will be back ASAP. read more

Flat Breads - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I had a meatball wrap that my wife brought me, now that was a tasty surprise. I just asked her to run in and get me something and boy did she deliver. The wrap was piping hot, full of tasty, full size meatballs. I loved the right amount of cheese and sauce, because this could have turned into a hot mess. The speed of service for made to order food was especially satisfying since this is a huge college campus. The parking is good, with a lot to the left of the restaurant. I noticed many people illegally parking just to run in and grab a bite. That tells you that the food is worth it when people are ready to risk it all. read more

Great food and an incredibly kind owner and staff! The menu has a lot of options and the portions are large.

Overall: 9.25 Taste: 9/10 - The flat breads are good and use real ingredients. Even if everything isn't made fresh to order the ingredients still have good flavor. Price: 10/10 - The breakfast items here are a really good deal with being only a few dollars for a filling meal. Service: 10/10 - The owner has been operating the business for 30 years! He is very friendly and always has a smile on his face. Ambiance: 8/10 - The restaurant has no seating and is more of a grab and go place. There are some nice decorations showing the history of the restaurant. read more

See all

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE. we got completly scammed as the guy swiped the card 5 different times, one time he put in the wrong information so he could give us a receipt saying it didn't go through, just so he could try and cover it up. Do NOT eat here. read more

Great owner!! Such a great local spot that has been owned by the same guy for years. Excellent food. Very quick service.

This spot is another BC classic. The service is always top notch and very fast. The sandwiches are more like burritos but are always very filled with meat, cheese and sauce no matter which option you choose. I've stopped by whenever I had to grab a quick lunch or dinner when in a rush and they have always delivered a great meal. Will definitely go again very soon when I forget to eat before class. read more

Just went here for first time. Noticed expired chips on counter. Given long shelf life of chips seems weird. Told owner. And handed him bag. He said thanks. So sorry. I'll handle. Then put them back on counter and went downstairs. If they are expired why the heck would he put them back. He's handling later? Yes you should later. But why not Nate min throw that one out since u know it's expired then go through balance. Cmon. That's so bad. I guarantee if I go back tomorrow still expired Now makes me think of what happens if meats get old etc. sounds like they will prob see if they can still serve them so they don't have to throw anything out. Will send to health dept. gross read more

Flat Breads - One week old expired chips. Owner put back even after told him about it. Eeew - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

This place rocks. Hands down. Lionel (I think that's his name) makes sandwiches at the speed of light and is the true pillar of this community. The wraps are also colossal and so good. Absolutely worth visiting this place. read more

Flat Breads - Chipotle Chicken wrap with avocado on a wheat tortilla - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Pros: -Good service -Empty around 7:30 on a Monday -Quick food turnaround time -- Chicken a la Pesto ($8.55 with tax) Strong emphasis on the "a la" here. Instead of a piece of grilled chicken, nice slab of mozzarella, and sliced tomatoes that I expect from a Chicken Pesto sandwich, I was surprised to find diced chicken, tomatoes, and lettuce, and just a very thin slice of mozzarella (looked like provolone) that wasn't even noticeable flavor-wise on a pita. The pita was fine but not strong enough to support all of the wet components so it just kind of fell apart (a la a burrito). However, the pesto is refreshing and works well with the fresh tomatoes and crisp lettuce. The sandwich is not heavy (I actually kind of felt like I was eating a chicken caesar salad), although the olive oil does get everywhere. Decent value as it serves two meals for an average-sized person. read more

Flat Breads - Chicken a la pesto ($8.55, August 2015) - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Flat breads is a family owned local spot near Boston College for a quick salad or sandwich. My personal favorites are the Californian wrap or Cobb salad...the salads are huge and can easily be shared! Great prices and wonderful owner. If you are a BC student, they take Eagle Bucks so you can pay with an eagle ID. All around fantastic place. read more

Flat Breads - Californian cold with lettuce - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Often will charge prices different than the advertised price on the menu. Even went as far as entering my card information incorrectly and telling me it was decline for suspected fraud. The credit card company informed me he had submitted payment twice and then asked for a second form of payment. Charging me twice for the same sandwich! read more

Love all of their sandwiches and salads!! Breakfast is super good too. Owner is so kind and his service is always spectacular. So fast and high quality!! Love this place read more

Unfortunately very short-staffed. That's not to say they can't handle a crowd ("they" meaning the ONE guy I've seen working there who is incredibly efficient but criminally overworked). Standard quality ingredients; not mind-blowingly delicious but very good, and you can count on very generous portions. read more

Love the Mediterranean Chicken or Don Quixote! Get the hots. Note, watch when your sandwich is being made, if the guy is cutting multiple sandwiches at once, he literally jumps from sandwich to sandwich slicing them in half and it is quite entertaining. It is a little expensive, but they accept Eagle Bucks, so I think with the BC demographic, they can get away with it. Still a quality sandwich! read more

Wish I didn't go there. I ordered a chicken burrito. So he gets a flat bread add cold chicken , rice beans .. Etc .. Then but it in the microwave! Wrap it up.. Boom here we go sir "! Eat this shit Dude if you want microwave food, I wouldn't go to a restaurant! I wish I didn't go there. read more

Flat Breads - "Microwaved Burrito" - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Flat Breads sustained me, nutritionally and spiritually, during my senior year at Boston College. Because the Fates conspired to grant the sandwich shop the ability to accept the BC meal card, I ate there with as much regularity as I did the dining hall. The place excels at what it does for three reasons: 1) Pita quality - Aside from taquerias, there aren't many places where you can order a wrap and be certain that the filling won't burst through and ruin your Boston College sweatshirt. Thanks to a combination of skilled assembly and sturdy dough, you can be confident that your meal will not erupt. 2) Flavor - Anybody can throw lettuce and chicken into a wrap and call it a Caesar. Flat Breads has a tangy marinara, well-seasoned eggplant and protein, and a host of other homemade items that mean the difference between "junk you get at a Taco Bell" and "Wow, this has legitimate taste!" 3) Service - With a consistency measured in years, the employees and owner are top notch. Friendly, quick, and responsive. I've gone fifty times and have never had a bad experience. If you're in the area, or matriculate at BC, make this part of the equation. You'll thank me. And if not, don't worry about it. Just thank them. read more

So I've lived here for almost 4 years and only this year have I started going to FlatBreads. I waited til I've tried a few different sandwiches before reviewing. SUCH a great little place! They have tons of sandwiches to choose from- and all are good. I don't PERSONALLY like the taste of the turkey, though. Otherwise, it's a good deal. The owner is friendly and the person who rolls the sandwiches is an artist! Haha. If you think back to the OLD OLD SNL episodes- Samurai Deli (or something iike that)- that's almost how this sandwich roller is, minus the sword. I recommend the chicken caesar and the philly cheesesteak. My husband likes the chicken pesto... yeah there's lots of goodness to try. And make sure you get a card so your 11th sandwich is free. I wish there was enough room for tables. Maybe there are some outside, but I haven't noticed since it's been so DAMN cold. One other thing I'd like to note- I can't remember the NAME of the sandwich but it was supposed to have mayo. I hate mayo, so I asked for no mayo. And the owner OFFERED a type of vinaigrette dressing on it instead, instead of heeding my request and having a dry sandwich. I was appreciative of that, and the vinaigrette went well with it!! I mean, don't come in here expecting the best of the best, but for what it is, it's great. I am now a loyal customer. read more

my daughter and I wanted to grab a quick lunch after touring boston college, I believe it was the owner we were talking to but he was so incredibly sweet!! He made very personable small talk and have such kind words of wisdom to my daughter, telling her she "belonged here". Such a small yet personal gesture we will never forget. And of course the sandwich was absolutely delicious read more

I find it ironic that my experience is completely the opposite of Christopher M.'s For a long time (a long time ago) I loved Flat Breads food. My recent experience, however, solidified that I will never be giving them my business again. I went 20 minutes out of my way to go there for dinner before a meeting. I ordered my sandwich and went on my way. When I got to my meeting place there was NO SAUCE on my wrap. Eew gross. It was dry chicken and vegetables in a pita. I had a few bites and then just couldn't deal. I called them to let them know and they suggested I come back with the sandwich to show them (they didn't believe me). I said I couldn't because I had a meeting and they said there wasn't anything they could do. I asked if I could come back another time and get a free wrap and they said they didn't have the authority to do that and I'd have to call the manager during his office hours. So I did just that - the manager apologized, and said I should come in anytime and get my free sandwich. I went back the next week, same day same time, and told the woman at the counter my situation. She proceeded to tell me that she was the one who had made my wrap, she remembered me, and she DID put sauce on it so she wasn't giving me a free sandwich. I told her I had spoken to her manager and he said I should come back to get a free sandwich and she said he didn't tell her about it. She continued to argue with me that she did put sauce on and she wasn't going to give me anything. She was a COMPLETE bitch. I left, angered, and called the manager the next week. He was not very nice on the phone, but said this time he would leave a card at the register with my name on it. Needless to say, I didn't bother going back. While the food may be fine or good, customer service like this doesn't deserve anyone's business. read more

Good sandwiches. The man behind the counter was extremely friendly and accommodating. Great place for a quick bite. read more

No clue why some of the reviews here are so harsh, I came here and absolutely loved it. Highly recommend the chicken salad or the stockyarder breakfast sandwich (add a hot or mild sauce). The owner is very very friendly, would come back here just for him alone! Very underrated of the BC restaurants read more

Good, not great. The man who presumably owns the shop is extremely nice, welcoming, and friendly. It seems like he runs his establishment very well, and tries to cater to every customer as best he can. The wrap I had was covered with sauce. It made it very overpowering and it was tough to distinguish the items that were actually in my wrap, since they all tasted like BBQ sauce. Service was fast, but they should invest in a panini press instead of nuking the whole thing in the microwave and labeling the wrap "Melted." Fast and friendly service but decent food. read more

Flatbreads is amazing! Great menu, sandwiches are delicious, and all super friendly vibe, wildly efficient service AND...personalized Customer Service like no other! Work Ethic that you just don't see anymore! Stopping to pick up lunch is like getting the BEST Life Coaching session imaginable, mixed with an inspirational Tedtalk, all rolled up (no pun!) with some common sense life tips and you walk away feeling like you just had the best visit with a favorite relative! Nourished - in many ways! read more

If I were reviewing simply the service I received and not the food at all, I would give this place all five stars. I am hesitant to give it the three because of the food though. I have learned not to be very picky with my lunches while at work, cause I'm kinda picky. I got the California the other day, it was not what I hoped it would be. It was fairly bland and the tomato tasted funky, and it got soggy well before I was half way though. The old guy behind the counter was really really nice though. He was sweet, we chatted about the weather and the red sox. It was really nice. Too bad the food wasn't as good as the conversation. read more

Hit or miss, but still something I'll really crave every now and then. The Steak and Cheese is absolute perfection - just enough meat/peppers/onions and a combination of provolone and american cheeses melted in a warm tortilla. Just as good is the Caesar Pita Wrap-Up. Take caution here though: don't get it with chicken. It's gnarly and not in a "cool California" way!! There's a lot more on the menu, but I try not to choose anything that looks to creative - whenever I have, it hasn't been a pleasant experience. A few friends really dig the Acapulco - which is pretty good if you like avocado. The Chicken Parm is also good (better quality chicken in this wrap - I think, but it may just be disguised by the marinara sauce??). If you're feeling adventurous and are with a group, these are definitely the kind of wraps you can split. The average cost for a wrap is about $8 so not too bad. They're decently sized, as well. BC kids rejoice, they take Eagle Bucks. All in all, it's a good last-stop easy in/easy out sandwich shop before heading on the pike via Newton. Also very conveniently located near the mountain of all mountains: White Mountain Creamery. read more

I got the Madison wrap (see picture) and it was good! Yummy wrap, smooth swiss, and delicious cole slaw. The service was excellent, my wrap was made in record speed. The prices are right and the staff is friendly. Good alternative to dining hall food that's for sure! read more

Flat Breads - Madison Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I have been a loyal customer to this delicious and tasty place for over a decade. The service is good and the food never gets old. I am addicted to their gourmet sandwiches. My favorites are Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Caecar. The quality and presentation of the food are great. Gourmet is the right word for this place. Try it! I think you will like it! To go and pick up only read more

Great place with affordable prices and quality food. The team is super friendly and work efficiently to get your flatbread prepared quickly. Try the smokehouse BBQ. read more

Kind of overpriced because each wrap sandwich (served either cold or microwaved) ends up being almost $9 alone. It's right around the corner from me and I usually only go when I just feel like getting something fast and I want a little fresh air as well. The Californian (turkey, bacon, swiss, tomato, and avocado) is usually my go-to pick. Watch the small latino guy who is ALWAYS behind the counter as he operates with impressive machine like speed whipping up 2-3 sandwiches at a time. read more

I just moved to the Boston yesterday and was so happy that I stumbled into Flat Breads! John was incredibly friendly and very helpful with his recommendations about the menu. I ordered the Californian melted option and loved it! Will definitely return again for the food but mainly because of the warm/hospitable staff. read more

The price for a cesar wrap, chips and a drink is ~$11.50 now. This is just too much for a sandwitch/chips/drink lunch. They give a discount card (buy 5, get 1 free, so it's 9.50 if you manage follow through with it.) I never seem to have the discount card with me, so I get a new one each time and lose it before I make it back -- because each time I'm more disenchanted with the prices and it's longer before I go back. The wraps are OK, I get the chicken cesar and the quality changes depending on who makes it. The "samurai guy" is great! He is fun to watch, fast and makes a good wrap. They have a good gourmet chip selection too (Herr's horseradish cheddar is fantastic). But ultimately I agree with other reviewers though that the wraps overall aren't really great and cost more than they should. I'm glad to see some competition in the area now and hope Flatbreads will step it up! read more
