The ingredients didn't wow me and I think it could have been cooked better, the bacon should have been crispier and the English muffin should have been toasted more. The hash brown was really good and not at all greasy. I will definitely go back to try some of the other menu items but I don't think I will order the baller again.

Ordered the # 1 chopped Italian sandwich Various rolls options ... none real French bread type. Pantedossi bread one option. I choose the seseme roll. Cost 18.14 for sandwich... holy Batman for price. Too expensive for my lunch unless a real great Italian. This sandwich is as follows: Roll not fresh daily ... 1-3 days old but still fresh . Other delis I visit for my Italians baked own bread, or an Italian French bread crunch. Minimal meat for 18 bucks... chopped up gimmick I guess ok... needed oregano, oils, pepper or something like Jersey Mikes or Tutto Italiano of Hyde park, Wellesley, more meat and cheaper price like Lamberts deli of Westwood, better tomatoes, high quality veggies like Amatos Italian of Maine stores.... Anyway I wasn't anyway impressed with sandwich, I don't ever see buying another sandwich at $18.14 as sandwich not not not and triple not remarkable. Sorry ... my opinion I see other reviews appear more positive. I always like to see new businesses succeed. I assume things will improve over time. I feel it was a 10-13 maximum price sandwich, but I still wouldn't want it. I was to rate with 2-3 stars but really not a real Italian

The macaroni salad had cavatappi pasta with mayo, carrots, red peppers. The chicken cacciatore had 2 thick pieces of chicken (need to cut) with peppers, onions, & red sauce, which I reheated and mixed with some cooked ziti pasta (not included). All of the food I purchased was very tasty and I would certainly stop by again for another sandwich and some grab & go.

Service was awesome. The smoothies were really good. My sandwich was good too. I liked the bread and the cheese. I thought it would be grilled for some reason but I must have been confused with the menu. I ate half the sandwich and saved the other half to eat at the airport. It not only held up well, it tasted even better. It was 1:30pm on a Monday and the place was packed! It's a well-oiled machine!

The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D Edit 2: Jose took care of it for me with awesome service. Unfortunately the açaí bowl was only okay so 4 stars is as good as this review will get.

I order a ham, Swiss cheese on French bread , lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mustard and bacon . Then written was 9.99 on wrapper. I told guy at register I had the make your sandwich for 8.99. He told me that was starting price. I said sign says 8.99 back and forth.... I then figured maybe bacon added was the buck extra ? Then I look at sign and says nothing about bacon... says lettuce tomatoes a 1.50 extra? Or is that for the roast vegetables? Very confusing? Then if charging for lettuce and tomato and onion adds a 1.50 ... not 1.00? Nothing about bacon on sign. Any way sandwich was excellent fresh French bread, all ingredients fresh.. another slice of ham would have been good or Black Forest ham instead... Tasty with the bacon and good sandwich and I think better than deli next door ... the deli sides in case all looked good... didn't see a side of potato or macaroni salad or coke slaw... seafood salad looked to be tasty in a sandwich. Actually looking closer at fine print I should have been charged 1.50 for the bacon and unclear another 1.50 for lettuce, tomato, onion or 1.50 each... then at that price ... sandwich wouldn't have gotten to cashier as too expensive.

I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all been top notch Unfortunately, the rest of the store is not handled with the best customer service.

The cashiers barely open their mouths. I've never heard a "thank you" or a "you're welcome" in all my time there. They barely can mutter the price of your items. I'm sorry if dodgeball was tough for them in high school but I still expect some courtesy. Just last week I watched one of the old dudes (the one who looks like he came back from a Sam Elliott look alike contest) bump into a customer and not apologize. Not only that but the customer who I would assume is a decent human being apologized to the bearded loser and the bearded loser had some snarky remark under his breath. Marty's is a good sized store and has good variety as a result. The managers and cashiers however make it really hard to continue supporting this business
