So delicious best place Island Mambo number 1 people like take out or eat here same way really good

Fresh Boston is a great place to stop by for a yummy sandwich! We were in the area looking for a new place to try for a quick bite. It's a pretty casual spot, though they do have a bar area. Decent amount of seating. First impressions: quite expensive menu for sandwiches, salads, and smoothies. Most of the sandwiches are almost $20 or more. We originally wanted to try their grilled cheese w/ tomato soup but they didn't offer it anymore when we visited. Looks like they switch up their menu every 2 weeks! So here's what we ended up getting: - the fruits and the maytals smoothie -pressed: steak piece - pigs gone wild The sandwiches took ~15 min + smoothie took around 10 min to be ready. Okay, so the sandwiches were TEA!! So good. Both sandwiches we ordered were on focaccia bread & they were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were big too! I honestly was expecting them to be small, but I'm glad they were generous. Flavors were tasty; I love both but the Pigs Gone Wild was my favorite! The truffle honey aioli was something else, highly recommend. The smoothie we got tasted refreshing & exactly as described. I would definitely come back again & get the Pigs Gone Wild or try other sandwiches since they switch up their menu every two weeks. Price is a bit steep, but after getting to try their sandwiches, I'd say they are worth it. Parking: free street parking read more

Stopped in after a B/Spoke class! Grabbed a smoothie because today was hot and the class was heated haha. The smoothie i honestly don't remember what i ordered but it had a lot of citrus fruits in there. Blended well, not too icy where it becomes a slushy. Reminded me of capt. Kidd at the mall's planet smoothie before they closed down. So that's a plus in my book! The sandwiches we grabbed: pressed special beef pieces - i enjoyed this thoroughly, pressed bread was delish, good texture, chew and flavor. The steak was shaved thin cooked well on grill top with fried shallots and special sauce. Haven't had a cheesesteak in a min. The prime rib steak shavings, Provolone cheese, onions fried shallots and chimichurri sauce and focaccia bread, yea...YES I'll order another of this! Our friend got the pigs gone wild, this was also good, but i think it would be better as a pressed sandwhich to hold its shape with all the fixings that were in it. Slow roasted pork (not overly dry, a bit lacking in flavor itself) truffle honey aioli was great! Salsa verde, chili, fresh parm on focaccia bread. All in all about $20ish sandwiches, 10-14$ drinks. But portion size was good and i was satisfied! Thank you. Staff was nice you put your order in at the window and head down the counter to other side to pay! read more

Recently got takeout sandwiches and they were good but not great. The breakfast sandwich only had one egg and the bread was so thick it really overwhelmed the core of the sandwich. For $15 I would really have expected something more substantial... The turkey sandwich was much better, though still felt on the pricier side for what it was. The cafe, itself, is very nice with a chill juice-bar vibe. Overall a solid neighborhood restaurant and would try again in the future. read more

Bad experience all around. Our first two items that we selected on the menu were not available (including any milk for coffee). We ended up ordering two already-made sides that literally get scooped into bowls...took 15-20' (we were only customers in restaurant). Tuna fish salad was pretty much a bowl of mayonnaise. Topped it off by giving us the wrong bill. Definitely will not be back. read more

My order: Turkey Temptress on gluten free bread The Review: Oh my lord, this place...the positives are: the food wasn't bad, there were options for different dietary needs, and it's kind of cute inside. Fresh South Boston was super crowded and the staff couldn't keep up with the demand, which led to a pretty rough experience. We first sat down and waited for someone to serve us. After being ignored for 20-30 min we decided to order at the counter instead. Decided to stay because there aren't that many casual places with gluten free options in the area. The counter took another 30-40 minutes, and they gave me the wrong sandwich (which could have gone quite wrong if someone had a severe allergy), and they completely left out another item we'd ordered. Fresh neither lives up to the price nor the hype. If you have to, order ahead only. read more

YUM! I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my sandwich at fresh Boston. The inside ambiance is super cute - has a modern feel with a beachy theme that makes it a vibe on a summer day. Service is super friendly and kind! We came in while they still had their brunch menu so I got the breakfast sandwich (cant remember the exact name at the moment) on everything focaccia. The focaccia was so delicious - had a great bounce, crunch, and flavor. Inside the sandwich was scallion cream cheese, an egg, hashbrown, and bacon. What a savory combo!!! The cream cheese blended so well with the chipotle aioli. The softness of the egg, cheese, and hashbrown balanced well with the crunch on the bacon and focaccia. Even the side arugula salad was well dressed. It looked small but left me full afterward. Would certainly recommend. read more

Wicked good sandwiches! I love a fresh Italian sandwich and the Capone was just that! It comes with tomatoes on a fresh ciabatta bread (still warm). The bartender was super friendly! It's like a fresh look on a modern diner, with plants and cool vibes. And she made me a vodka lemonade since it was a hot day and it was fantastic!!! Come for their in house lunch special that comes with a draught beer & any sandwich for a great price! I'm coming back time and time again! Right in the red line off Andrew Square.

Ordered the Island Mambo and it was so so good. We had a big order for takeout and everything came nice and fresh. My whole party enjoyed our sandwiches and will be coming back! read more

Lovely, clean, fresh, friendly - I ordered the chicken Caesar kale salad, it was awesome and croutons were made fresh. They had a lunch special which included beer on tap for $20! The vibe was chill and the place was really clean, lots of natural light. My server was really friendly and made me feel at home. I will definitely be back! read more

Check your order before you leave the store! I placed an order online including a bag of chips. When i got home-no chips! I was close so i went back and they said the reason was that they were out of that particular variety. They gave me another bag but it seems like they should have notified me rather than just not giving them to me! But the sandwich was good! read more

Tried the second location at the Canalside food court in Cambridge and it was excellent! Loved the Capone sandwich, bread was delicious and crispy, really good filling. Friendly staff. Would absolutely get takeout from here again! One of the best sandwiches I've had in a while! Edit: Still delicious as leftovers the next day, highly recommend!! read more

This is a cute little spot away from the main drag of Southie! We went pretty early for dinner on a Friday and the place was quiet, seemed like everybody already left town for the summer weekend. I preferred it like that, though, it's hard to find a place in Southie that's not a crazy scene! The Peter Peter Caesar Caesar I ordered was delicious - the focaccia bread was soft and held up well to the hefty toppings. I loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, it added a nice brightness to the sandwich. The zucchini fritters were also a hit, the lemon and chive sauce it came with was top notch. They have a handful of beers on tap, but only a couple were local craft brews. Always happy to find Maine Beer Co. on tap around here though! The green velvet high-top chairs look very luxe at first glance, but they were surprisingly lightweight, and the swivel felt a bit flimsy. The decor was otherwise cute and I loved the chill vibes of the place. They also have a decent selection of beer, wine, and liquor that you can buy to-go. The sandwiches are a little pricey (but what isn't these days?), but I'd still stop back in here for some tasty food and nice drinks! read more

We had lunch here today and it was OUTSTANDING! Both of our sandwiches had the freshest ingredients! Absolutely will eat here again and the staff was very friendly. read more

Great place for those in the South Boston area! We went multiple times during peak lunch times and still felt we were served at a reasonable speed. Never disappointed with any of the sandwiches that I've ordered! I also love the decor and overall ambiance! Check out their Instagram for all their fun events! read more

Love this place, Smokey yardbird is my favorite!!! Staff is always super sweet and great deals! Great cocktails too!

One of my favorite sandwhich spots in Boston. Great vibe - always bright, great service and good spot to watch a game. Spicy bloody - very good Boozy coffee (Southie Screwie)- good but a little sweet Bagel sandwich (Wake n'Bacon) - good twist on a traditional breakfast sandwich. Focaccia sandwich (Island Mambo) - a big sandwich but very good. Just the right amount of truffle flavor, not too strong. read more

Well, ordered three spicy vodka chicken cutlet sandwiches. Chix cutlets great fry on them, focaccia great, unfortunately there was zero spicy vodka sauce on cutlets, very depressing, to tired to drive back. When paying $60 for three sandwiches I expect them to be on point. Will try again, lets get it together Fresh read more

Cool setup with liquor display on the shelves for purchase. Haven't had a chance to try the sandwiches but the drinks were pretty good off the menu.

The sandwiches were yummy but we waited 24 minutes for our two sandwiches. The business wasn't particularly busy and there were at least 6 employees working, so I would hope we could get our food faster. The employees were kind even still. Would recommend if you're not in a rush! read more

Best sandwich spot in town. Can't go wrong with any sandwich on the menu. The Peter Peter Caesar Caesar is delish.

The bread here is made fresh for sandwiches and is exceptional! The sandwiches have multiple and creative ingredients. In other words it is simply the absolute best lunch in Boston! read more

I ordered THE MOTO GUZZI ($23) for takeout, got to my apartment and the sandwich was made incorrectly. I know the arugula and cheese were left off and unsure about the honey as I couldn't really taste it. I called the establishment twice that day and left voicemails, hoping for the sandwich to be remade, get a voucher for another sandwich, or a refund - though they never responded. I contacted them the following day and still never heard from them. This review is regarding their customer service & sandwich making - had their prices not been so exuberant than it might have been 'whatever' but a sandwich $20+ should be pretty close to perfect The bread was delicious - that is the only reason for 2 stars read more

Probably the best place I've ever been in my life. If you want a truly awesome morning, afternoon, or evening out, you know where to come. Vibes? Immaculate. Service? Outstanding. Food? Incredible. Will I be coming here at LEAST once a week? Yes. read more

This sandwich was incredible! I got the peter peter with ranch on focaccia. The focaccia was INCREDIBLE. Took a little while to make but staff were very friendly. Highly recommend! Great vibes, cute bar. read more

The food is incredible - best acai bowl I've had in my life even if expensive. Drinks are also really good. Taking off one star because we tried to order multiple things on the menu, then were told they "weren't serving those items today"... From a service perspective, why hand out menus you aren't serving from? I would've at least appreciated them specifying what's available when we sat down or before they took our order. Cute place though with an eclectic vibe, and I'd still go back just for the food alone. read more

I went in today to take an order home for lunch. Upon arriving, no one greeted me. It was not too busy, but the people behind the counter barely looked in my direction. The two sandwiches were sloppily thrown together and the ingredients certainly did some seem "fresh." Not worth the $40. I'm glad I tried it as I was curious but I will not be back. read more

Obsessed w the vibe of this place!!! Love that they host events and have things going on different week nights, prices are steep but the sandwiches are impeccable. Only giving it 4 stars bc paying 25 dollars for a sandwich is pain read more

To be clear, I will be back to order food here. My only gripe is that why should anyone pay 17 dollars for a salad that is the size of a quarter? Like how do you expect people to re-order salads when they are duped into paying 17 bucks for a side salad? Any other place in southie provides way more salad for less money. It's just a bummer, you spend all of that money to make it a super nice place and then jack up the prices across the board. I'm sure the sandwiches are great, but if you're looking for a meal, I'd avoid the salads as they are a side salad size and not fulfilling. read more

This place was so cute! So happy I found it. I ordered the tomato and mozzarella sandwich with pesto and blackened chicken and it was delicious! Bread was baked with olive oil and with a perfect crunch. The place itself was beautifully decorated with a boho vibe. Very clean and everyone was so kind. One woman offered me a water when she didn't see that I ordered a drink to eat with my meal. Highly recommend. You can eat and drink as well. I will be returning! read more

Fresh .... Literally, from the food to the drinks to the vibrant smiles behind the bar. This place changed my life. Izzy and Aeisha were super friendly and informative about everything they had to offer. 10/10 must try! read more

I really hope I had a one off experience as I really like this place and used to order from them/eat there all the time (hence the three stars and not a 1 star). The sandwiches have always been a little pricey, but they were substantial and fresh (as in the name). I paid 20 dollars for a Capone that did not have fresh bread, had three slices of deli meat, and had wilted lettuce. This isn't ok. read more
