    Onion rings
    Geneva D.

    This place is essentially my neighboorhood pizza and sub shop. I'll I've to order pizza another time, because though I got the cheesecake that every other review raves about. Ambiance: very mom and pop shop kinda storefront. There's a generous (see what I did there) sized seating area If you choose to dine in. Food: The menu is your standard pizza/sub shop, so pizza and calzone with the usual ingredients, hot and cold subs and sandwiches, etc. This review is for the cheesesteak and onion rings only. I had high hopes and they delivered. The onion rings were light, crispy, and well seasoned better. The cheesesteak was also delicious. The steak wasn't fatty, the bread was both soft, toasted well, and all the ingredients were perfectly portioned. Service: I ordered at the register rather than calling ahead. The gentleman that took my order was very friendly. It took roughly 15 mins for my order to be prepared. Overall I'm very please, and will return to try other things on the menu.

    It's a neighborhood restaurant. I didn't have great expectations. The atmosphere was ordinary and plain. The service was slow but tolerable. The price was inexpensive. We ordered an egg sandwich and an eggplant parmesan sub with fried onion rings. 5*The onion rings was great, some of the best I have ever had. 3* egg sandwich: unsalted, very healthy choice. 3*eggplant parmesan sub: tasty and delicious, the bread was not warm enough though. Overall it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to stop here for lunch if I were in the neighborhood.

    Generous Joe's.  And I think I see my reflection in the door.

    The Only Review You Need To Read Maybe my tagline isn't accurate this one time, but I'm going to keep it in place for the sake of consistency. I was referred to this restaurant by a friend because I told him how disappointed I've been with cheeseburger subs lately. Based on his recommendation, I headed on down to Greenbelt to try this place out for myself. I called in my order ahead of time so I would just have to hop out of the car, run in, pay the tab, then get back on the road. What I didn't count on was there being some sort of pop-up fair going on at the park adjacent to the little strip plaza where the restaurant is location in, and as a result, there being tons of cars trying to get into the tiny plaza and there being no places to park. I finally got lucky and found a spot (we'll discuss if I parked illegally off-line), went running back to the restaurant, got my order, then headed back home. Being as this turned into an hour long round trip odyssey, it didn't escape me that it probably would have been better to have eaten my food there when it was fresh and hot, as opposed to having to throw it in the microwave when I got home. But I was going to be fair in my assessment - even if I have to reheat my food, I can still tell whether I like it or not. And the verdict was I thought it was a solid okay. What I accepted was that I wasn't going to find a cheeseburger sub as amazing as the ones I used to get at this place called The Red Caboose (which closed down in the early 90s). But this sub was better than the one I got from a different place a few days ago. The bread was really good; very soft and delicious, but the meat patty, though a generous amount, was just average tasting. The fries were good (I love steak fries!); they probably would have been better if I had eaten them when they were fresh, but that was on me. I'd be willing to give them another try, and possibly eat my order there next time since they do have a little seating area. If so and the food is better when it's served hot & fresh, I'll definitely edit my review.

    My parents grew up going to this place and every time we are in town we make it a point to stop by here for some cheesesteak and see if "little Joe" is there so my dad can say hello. The prices are not bad at all and they give you a generous amount of meat and toppings. Staff is friendly and don't make you feel rushed when ordering. We didn't get fries this time but their fries are great as well! I always love coming here and have never been disappointed in their food. Maybe one of these days I'll try something else on the menu, but the cheesesteak is just too good.

    The steak and cheese was average and they only have American cheese, no cheddar, but swiss and provolone. So I went with provolone and added sweet peppers, which were horribly sweet and threw the flavor off. Joe was very generous with the curly fries, which unfortunately are the frozen Oridas and they were dry. Not sure if I would come back ??

    This hidden gem is on the side of an office building. It's worth the hunt!…read more I got the daily special, an open face roast beef sandwich. Nice solid roll, real gravy, tender beef, and plenty of napkins provided without asking. Could have used a knife and fork, it was so juicy even without the side of extra gravy. The dill spear and Dr. Brown's soda prove it worthy of the name Deli. Very cordial service. I will be back to try the more typical deli treats next time I visit the Home Depot nearby.

We got a pastrami Reuben and a "Corned Beef and Pastrami". Each was on toasted rye that was perfectly prepared. A good portion of meat on each and I have to say, an excellent deli sandwich. And the price of each ($8.99) is very reasonable. We also got a side of potato salad and side of cole slaw. Both were good and the container is very generous for $2.99 each. There's a variety of chips available and a soda fountain with free refills. Limited seating. The staff there were friendly and appreciative of the business. It's a really nice place to stop in for a sandwich. I likely will try one of their entree salads next time. Breakfasts sound good on the menu also. We don't come to the area often, but this will be our new go-to lunch spot.

    Let me start by saying your sandwich is made to order and the space is a little small. With that…read moresaid, take a seat and be ready to wait a bit because it's worth it or go walk for a little bit, but I'd just wait inside as the owners are great. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich and the Hyattsville stack. The stack sandwich is huge but my husband loved it. I loved the chicken salad as it wasn't chicken breast from a can but hand shredded chicken. The chicken salad had herbs and love mixed into it, you can tell. The potato salad I got on the side was great and my husband enjoyed his kale salad. You can get your sandwich turned into a bowl if you'd like or keep it a sandwich. They have day of desserts and they smell amazing. You have various bread choices to have your sandwich made on. I love that turkey bacon is an option and all turkey sandwiches are an option. My tattoo artist highlights this restaurant when you're coming in for a session and I know why now. This little gem is great and they take sandwich making seriously as it's an art for them. We will definitely be back every time I have a session because it's across the street from her shop.

    Ambiance there was so wonderful and very hospitality. Nice owners and very inviting…read more Food there is just amazing and you could feel it was made with love. I want to say that sandwiches are the champ. The salad options are great too! It's a small shop so expect to take out and eat outside if you wish or bring it home!
