I really wanted a lobster roll, but the two places famous for lobster rolls around here were expensive. I saw a sign outside J. Pace & Son that advertised a lobster roll for what I considered to be a reasonable price. I took a chance and got it with a side of fries and walked across the street to eat it sitting on the pier watching the boats on the water . The lobster roll was really good and the fries were the best french fries I've ever had. The people here are really friendly and the store has a good selection, including lots of Italian food. I've been here before and I will be back. read more

Kind of a hidden gem, solid food and value in a part of Boston that doesn't have many spots with good value. The only reason I'm docking it a star is because the north end and south end exist with some really stand out options. If you're set in the seaport it's a great choice but widen a little bit and high st place has some really strong selections, widen further and there's a ton of good stuff. read more

It's a nice place with ingesting items. The only thing I ordered a Green Monstah with extra chicken but that chicken was rubbery and the bread wasn't toasted other than that the ingredients seemed fresh and the people were nice. read more

I had a sausage, egg and cheese bagel breakfast sandwich to go. The sandwich was very hefty and a great portion. Flavor was good as well. I did have ketchup on the side and wish they gave a little bit more packets. All in all, a great breakfast sandwich option! read more

J Pace & Son - Sausage, Egg, & Cheese (Hefty sandwich) - Grocery Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I give 5 stars to J Pace & Son for food, service and affordable prices! I had pancakes and bacon with coffee for breakfast, my wife had a wonderful bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The pancakes were surprisingly good; fluffy and flavorful. The bacon was more than enough. The coffee was hot, hot, hot! You have a choice of House Blend and Dark Roast. I chose the House Blend and it disappeared as fast as my pancakes and bacon. Before I flew back home I returned and ordered a grilled pastrami sandwich with grilled onions, mustard and provolone cheese. I enjoyed half of it on the plane and my wife loved her half. Definitely love the busyness and amount of things to eat and drink here at quite possibly the most reasonable prices in the Seaport area. read more

Affordable grub next to a great venue. I just went to a concert at Leader Bank Pavilion and didn't want to break the bank. We did not see this show up on Yelp, but it caught our eye as it was right across from the venue. They had a great variety of food and drinks for a local market and a deli. We grabbed the 21 and 32 on the specialty sandwiches list, and they were pretty good! Our favorite was the J.Pace Italian. While it might sound like a lot, the flavors complemented each other well, and the long hots were sooo good. Putting half a charcuterie board in a cold sub is the way to go. They have a lot of seating and a nice view near the window. If you have a hotel nearby, this would be the place to get alcohol too. They have a good selection for a little place and are way cheaper if you end up going to the concert venue. We compared prices, and it was around $20 cheaper to get a tall Downeast Cider here! Be wary of time, as if you're like us, your concert is later than closing time. The staff were polite, and you can take your sub to the park nearby. It is a beautiful area to eat outside and share some subs. If we're not dressed up, this will be our stop in the area! read more

Service: friendly and helpful. We ate around 10am and they were able to make their sandwiches for breakfast. We asked for their cold sandwiches to be toasted. They said no problem, we want to make you happy! Food: we ordered the badabing (two chicken cutlets, eggplant, roasted red peppers, jalapeño cheese, lettuce and tomato with 1000k dressing. This sandwich was huge! $14 and it made two meals. Hubby had the chicken Italian. Two chicken cutlets, prosciutto, roasted red peppers. Delicious! The freshly made brownies and cookies looked divine, but we were stuffed. Cleanliness: this is an Italian deli and store. There is plenty of seating and it is very clean. read more

Picked up a couple sandos to take with me on my flight home. The YOLO for my husband and the Italian with prosciutto. I ate half of mine right away and it was the perfect size for a lunch before hopping on a six hour flight. Both traveled really well and were delicious when we ate them more than 7 hours later. I ordered online and they were ready earlier than the time I expected so when I arrived early, I was pleasantly surprised to not have to wait! Definitely will return when we come back to Boston. read more

J Pace & Son - J Pace Italian with Prosciutto Sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Sammies aka sandwhiches, deli sandwich, sub, deli meat cold cut.....whatever you want to call your lunch meat sandwich. drinks and more! This place will serve you up and is a corner grocery store. Easy walk from the convention center and this place will NOT disappoint. This appears to be a local spot and serves up the good good from open to close. They have two counters, one can get cold or hot sandwiches, the menu has a variety of great combo and fav they other side you get hot entrees...pizza, shells you name it. We tried the J Pace with prosciutto on sesame bun. This thing was big enough to share but can easily be devoured by one person. There is a deli sauce on this sandwich that is fire "not meaning hot or spicy meaning good" that makes the sandwich complete. I didn't get a picture of the updated menu...the avg price is about $12. read more

The Seaport sandwich is dead on. Great bread. Crispy fish and fresh veggies. Exactly what you want when you order a fish sandwich. read more

We ordered 2 chicken sandwiches. One a chicken parm, the other cut up chicken with veggies. For both chicken sandwiches, the chicken was dry and tough. I suspect they were day old and not fresh. Disappointing. A number of years ago, I frequented their downtown location and it was great. Too bad it was so disappointing this time. read more

#Hastag on everything bagel! bacon, eggs over hard (i prefer over easy), a full thick crispy hashbrown and cheese! Must say one of my mentors put me onto this and she was right 1000% -- bomb breakfast. The luncheon options look great too! There is a bathroom on site around the corner, and seating area for you to breakfast or lunch! Been our go to spot as of late at work! If you get the patriot it's like a hashtag, but omelette (3) eggs, hashbrown, bacon (or your choice of protein) with a buttered muffin and free OJ. read more

Wow, just wow. J Pace is a must try sandwich spot in Seaport. This is hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Delicious, fresh, and definitely getting your money worth. The guy behind the deli was super friendly and was super helpful. The store also has everything you could need from snacks to beer/wine to hot food too. If you're in the area definitely stop by! read more

J Pace & Son - Chicken Americano (with Pesto Mayo) - Grocery Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Stayed a couple days before a recent cruise. I'm from New England so I wanted a good bomb cheese steak. We ate here and shared a sub and onion rings. It was very good. bread was soft, onion rings nice and crunchy. Good portion size. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Of course I had to have a whoopee pie! OMG, so good! We ate it over a couple days it was so big. They have a busy sub shop! read more

I seriously thought I had already written a review about this place after my first experience about a year ago! And although the owner can come across a little gruff, I think it's just the Bostonian in him LOL. The first time I visited J Pace & Son I ordered French toast, which came with more bacon than I could finish. The French toast was so delicious and it stayed hot on my walk back to my hotel. On my second visit, I arrived about 10 minutes after breakfast () which made me super sad, but there was a lot of food to choose from! They have pizzas, steak sandwiches, chicken tenders, and a lot of cold sandwiches. I ended up going with the 601 Congress, which seems to be well reviewed by everyone. This sandwich consisted of fried chicken cutlets, buffalo sauce, red onions, and lettuce. They also threw some sort of cheese on there, but I didn't really check. Let me tell you that this sandwich was amazing! I also read that they make the bread in-house, and you can definitely tell (it stayed soft for hours even though I ate 1/2 right when I got it and another half about six hours later). The price came up to about $13 for just a sandwich alone, and I'll definitely be back to try others. read more

I'm not from Boston. The Italian sandwiches I know are from delis in NYC, Long Island, NJ, and the Philly suburbs (where folks from the former are from). I also don't really eat Italian sandwiches often anymore, but used to seek them frequently when younger. Needless to say, this is my cheat meal and my standards for this sort of food are high. My expectations were low, but this place is a 5/5. Rolls aren't huge, but they pack their sandwiches with ingredients, all of which are fresh. I got the "Green Monstah" (not a Sox fan even in the slightest) and was thrilled. This rivaled what I can get at home. And it's $9-14 a sandwich, which is worth it. So glad I came here. You should not come here if you're looking for an experience. It's a sandwich shop. But they do a great job. There is plenty of seating in case you don't feel like dealing with the Seaport winter breeze. Will be back here the next time I visit Boston. read more

Gunna start off by saying if you haven't been here, you're screwing up. Great service, great staff, plenty of offerings for anyone's taste, nice seating area, and everything is always fresh. I've had the pleasure of delivering to their Saugus location with my previous employer, so I am familiar with what they offer but I have never personally eaten here. Until today. I'm now working around the corner from the Seaport location, in South Boston, and I was late for work today and stopped in here for breakfast. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a Jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was fantastic. So good that I ate every other meal here for the day. For lunch I got the Caprese sub, again, delicious, and fresh, not much to screw up on a caprese sandwich, with salt and pepper. Epic. Stopped in before heading home and picked up some cheese ravioli with vodka sauce and a few drinks from the wide variety they offer. I love that they sell Dr. Browns sodas. This is easily going to be my go to spot, I think you should check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely the best Italian combo around. I've had sandwiches from all over the east coast.. this place rules. There every year for the Volleyball tournament at the Convention Center. Well worth it for breakfast sandwiches or lunch. Must try!!! read more

Located in the Seaport District, J Pace and Son provides customers with a deli offering huge and freshly-made grinders (known as hero sandwiches or subs for those of you outside Red Sox Nation) and a small, but well-curated grocery store offering a variety of ready-to-eat and pre-packaged food and beverages and a handful of those things you forgot to bring to your friends' or coworkers' birthday party like salty snacks and greeting cards. While the prices may be higher than your typical suburban sandwich chains - with most sandwiches ranging from $9 to $12 - the quality and the portion sizes far exceed those establishments. I opted for the Seaport sandwich ($10), comprised of two enormous filets of freshly breaded and fried haddock, tartar sauce, cole slaw, cucumber, and leafy romaine lettuce. Yum. Will definitely be back next time I am in the area. Pro Tip: On-street parking is available, but may be difficult to find, so pahk you cahr at Havahd Yahd and take the T - Silver Line to J Pace. read more

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Made to order breakfast sandwich is great! I was pleasantly surprised at how good their dark roast black coffee tasted.-I always avoid the over priced breakfast at my hotel and come here. Pastries look yummy although I haven't tried any. Lunch hot bar items are outstanding. Typically rice, chicken, vegetables and a few Italian dishes available daily. I've also had hot deli sandwiches here to go that were excellent. Big selection of craft beer and wine. Single craft beers to go! Everything is very reasonably priced. No better hot food deals in the Seaport district than this place. read more

Looking for some food prior to a concert at the Leader Bank Pavilion, we came across this little Gem. J. Pace & Son. The food was good...I know it's an Italian Deli, but hot and cold sandwiches and salads made fresh and being that it is near a concert venue... inexpensive! I had an Eggplant Parm sandich so italian I was waiting for Luigi to come out of the backroom. It was prepared by the owner and AMAZING. Girlfrien was on a Gluten-free diet and they took good care of her. Ham and Cheese on a gluten free wrap made to order just the way she wanted it. there were tables both inside and outside for eating on premisis (outside was great for eating and people watching). Would highly reccommend! J. Pace & Son One Park Lane South Boston, MA. 02210 read more

These are the best cannoli I have ever had, especially the way they do the chocolate. The filling is PERFECT. I am usually disappointed.

Had a great Italian sub from J Pace & Son. I had a late flight back to DC and decided to chill on the Waterfront to kill some time. I camped out here for several hours with free Wifi, a plug to charge my phone, and beautiful sights of the water. What else could a man ask for? read more

I knew this place had to have big portions with so many construction workers there at lunch hour. And it did. I got a heaping Italian sandwich for $8. It was delicious - and enough food for lunch and dinner. I was impressed with their huge assortment of sandwiches, breakfast items, snacks etc. Pro-tip: order ahead on the website if you want to skip the line. read more

Small little grocer in the seaport area. Opens early, and closes around 7 I believe, the hours posted in Yelp are incorrect. One of the only non-hotel options in this area that has breakfast, but it is deli style, so don't plan on coming in and receiving table service. I took my breakfast across the river and enjoyed it on the water front. This place is also a grocer, and the food looked great. read more

Great sandwiches awesome cookies they do have a lot of stuff and it's very convenient on this side of the world trade center because we have no grocery store close to us. The only unfortunate thing is that their prices are probably 30% higher than what you pay at a normal grocery store but it's convenience and it is what it is. read more

We were so hungry and wanted something fast, we order a Hamburger, it was tasteless and cold. French Fríes were delicious!!

Honest to God, today I saw a guy taking a breakfast sandwich and a bottle of Drano to the register. You can buy anything here. Breakfast sandwiches, full breakfasts, pizza, sandwiches of every description, a dozen salads, pasta, hot subs, soup. They have a huge bakery, a meat counter, a deli, a liquor department, and a grocery and home goods section. We picked up three breakfast sandwiches, mine was bacon, egg, and cheese on an onion bagel. It was a 5-star sandwich without hesitation; huge, perfectly toasted, well cooked egg and bacon, just perfect. And the prices? No Boston rip-off pricing here. A very very fair $3.75! Wonder what that would have cost at the Renaissance? read more

This J Pace & Son location is an easy walk from the Seaport World Trade Center. Along the interior wall is a counter where you may order your sandwich or some prepared foods over on the right, some shelves of packaged foods to the left of the entrance, and a couple of cash registers where you can pay and head out to the tables set along the sidewalk, or over to a separate internal sitting area with a pair of bathrooms for their patrons. We came here during the Boston Comic Con so they were offering a more succinct menu - aka no hot sandwiches. That made me sad. I prefer warmed or pressed sandwiches generally, but I made do and ordered the Pavillion $7.25 (warm roast beef, American cheese, BBQ sauce, bacon bits, on an onion roll). Pleasantly, the roast beef was warm even though the sandwich itself was not toasted or anything. The bacon bits added a nice contrast of textures. The sandwich itself was just a tad too much for my appetite, but I ate it all, and regretted it a smidge. read more

For fathers day we took my father to J Pace Italian sandwich shop in Boston. Living in northern NH it was a bit of a trip, but in the past, it was my Dads favorite. We checked the website before we left and found that they close at 3:00 on Sundays. Upon arrival at 2:00 we found the store completely locked up. No sign on the door, nothing. Don't get me wrong we Love the shop, but come on, if you're going to have a website use it. And if something comes up, and you have to close, just put a sign on the door. read more
