A no-frills treat We stopped to get an Italian Grinder. It was wonderful. The fresh bread and peppers combined well with the meat. The store is clean and the service was attentive. read more

A place that we've been going to for years and years. Absolutely the best sandwiches in the city. Service is always good.

Great service. Always the best grinders!! I stop by here every time I'm in town. Ladies behind the counter are awesome

Wonderful place I love to go to! Service is great. Food is great. Rolls are the freshest I think I have ever had.

Not the same Marcucci's. Bread was so small and less meat in the grinder although the taste was the same.

I have been here 3 times: First, I ordered the meatball and it was ok. Somewhat bland and told them to toast roll which didn't appear to be or feel texture wise. Second time I tried the chicken cutlet and again wasn't impressed. Last, and worst, the eggplant parmesan. The eggplant were mushy, undercooked, and under breaded. They put very little sauce and cheese and the bread was chalky. I gave this place 3 chances and that is it. I see people line up for this place so there must be a tradition here or something else on the menu they do a good job with but I'm not wasting another dollar to see what it is. read more

I write this with a heavy heart because I loved this place so much. I've eaten Marcicci's 1000 times. Its been my favorite sandwich shop since the late 70's when they were still on Broadway in Newport RI and West Main Rd in Middletown RI as well. It been been a year or so since I bought a sandwich from there because I live in Newport now and they are only in Fall River. I missed it so I drove out there to get a large sandwich for dinner and lunch the next day. An hour and 20 minutes of driving both ways. I ended up getting a large chicken salad with American cheese and it was absolutely awful. The only thing I could taste was celery seed and there was almost no chicken salad in it. If I had to take a guess I would say roughly 6 ounces on the entire sandwich. And this is a sandwich that used to have like almost a pound of chicken salad on it. It's a 24 inch grinder. In the bowl is half of the sandwiches worth of chicken and keep in mind there's some American cheese in there as well taking up some space. The spoon you see is a teaspoon. Ridiculous. What's worse is that it wasn't even chicken breast. It was deli style loaf Chicken that was put into a food processor and ground up. If you zoom in on the chicken in the bowl you can see the little bits of cubed, pressed chicken. For 20 bucks it's an absolute rip off. I wouldn't drive there for one if they were giving it away. I can't believe Marcicci's went there after all of these years being the sandwich king. I know times are tough but you never mess with the formula. You raise the price if you have to but you don't EVER mess with the product. Its the reason why people have been going there for decades. Marccuci's did both raise the price and wrecked the product. The only reason why I gave 2 stars instead of one is because of my history there. Soo disappointing. read more

Solid chicken parm offering. Prices can't be beat! About $6 for a medium - that's a foot long sub. The pizza slices are tiny but they're $0.50 ea. Not much cheese though; basically sauce on bread. Not great. It's more of a sub shop which is fine with me. I like the bread here better than marzillis. The gauntlet has been thrown! read more

They won't take phone orders even though they advertise it, they hang up on you. They need to stop advertising advance orders.

Best bread out of the two in my opinion , really busy on certain days but we'll worth the wait .

I have lived in Fall River for over 8 years and can't beleive I just finally tried their subs!! I ordered a medium Italian sub, with eveything, including hot peppers) , and my husband ordered a medium pastrami with American cheese and hot peppers. We were pleasantly surprised with how big the medium and how fresh the rolls were. We went back a few weeks later and the quality was the same. Highly recommend! read more

Since I was a little girl. This is the place to go to get the best grinders in the world. The bread itself is so delicious N read more

Excellent food and service; just be careful when paying because they will not repay you if a mistake is made. I was overcharged by over $8, asked about the price seeming too high and was told the extra charge was for lettuce, tomato and taxes. Since it was very busy, I was embarrassed to push the issue at the time of purchase. It wasn't until later that I took the time to review the purchase carefully and confirmed that I had indeed been overcharged. After three days of calling and confirming that my specific encounter was recollected by staff, I was finally told they wouldn't pay me back in cash or food because the receipts of the day did not demonstrate a discrepancy. Apparently, the issue was that I was charged for one large and one medium grinder, instead of the 2 medium grinders that I had actually received. But being correct and specifically remembered by staff didn't make a difference. I don't blame staff, but I am disappointed in this badly impersonal company policy! read more

Solid. Nostalgic. The bread is excellent. Probably not the best quality cold-cuts. The pizza is excellent. Must get the chourico. read more

Food is good but their customer service is the WORST. Called at 5:45 and someone picked up. Did not even say hello, just put the phone down and no one came back on for 14 minutes. I hung up and sure enough, the line was busy. I have friends who won't order from there anymore. If you want to be treated like shit, call them and good luck. read more

For many years I've gone back and forth between Marcucci's and Marzilli's bakeries. Recently I bought Italian sandwiches from both bakeries and with a group of friends did a blind taste test. Both sandwiches were identical. After everyone trying both we all agreed Marcucci's was better for two reasons. One a better amount of cheese cold cuts and peppers in the sandwich. Second the quality of the flavor of the bread was far superior. As a retired chef and culinary instructor I felt quite qualified to oversee this. That being said I'll be back to Marcucci's. read more

I've ordered here only a couple times because my regular sub shop was closed for one reason or another. The food is okay, I just don't like the bread here. Upon all trips here, the bread has always been hard and tough to chew. I'm not sure if they had a couple bad days, but it just wasn't my favorite. read more

I don't know why I haven't rated Marcucci's before. I've been coming here since I was a kid. Everything about it is awesome. Best subs I've ever had (and I've traveled a LOT and tried subs all over the country). The bread is the absolute best and the cold cuts are always deliciously fresh. Family-owned, friendly, neighborhood shop. If you want to shop small this is the kind of place to do it. They've been around for 44 years and nothing has changed! You won't believe the prices. They're always busy and the service is always terrific. If it's your first time in Fall River, this place is an absolute must. read more

Out of the two major sandwich shops in the city Marcucci's wins this for me every time. They're quality of meats is better and the fresh bread is perfect for it. They have a huge selection to choose from and they're pizza and sides are great too! It's always got a nice family owned atmosphere when you go in and the owner is a a sweetheart to all. The one and only complaint I would've had has since been fixed when they introduced no longer being a cash only business and started taking cards! Way to go keep up the great work over there guys! read more

I Find it hard to Believe this place has Survived as long as they have! My last visit I ordered a Lg, Italian grinder for pick-up, was ready when I arrived, and drove back home to Somerset. When I was ready to enjoy my sandwich, Couldn't believe how Hard my Bread was! It was beyond Stale, and this is a place that makes their own Bread! I eas not Happy, so I decided to call them,and asked to Speak to the Mgr. who happened to be there. When I told him my problem, he seemed to doubt that this was possible, I stated that the person that made my sandwich had to know this was not sellable, and belongs in the trash can, he kept doubting me, and I said; this is how you Lose business, he amazed me by saying, I DON'T CARE ! I responded that, it's Obvious you don't Care, and I will never buy from your place Again, I Don't need your Business, he said, Wow! I proceeded to Hangup the phone, through the Rock hard grinder in the trash, and phoned an order from a local Shop in my area. Haven't been back since, that was about 5 of 6 yrs. Ago, and he's still serving Hard bread to somebody, but not Me, and for what it's worth, I don't care that he's still in Business either !! Pretty Sad read more

A visit to Marcucci's is best preceded by a phone order. So do it right and you'll likely be on your way inside a five minute window. Failure to heed my advice will extend your stay. If the parking in front is already taken there's a small lot adjacent to the building. The shop itself is small and on the dingier end of the cleanliness spectrum. Bottom rusted spin-style stools deceptively dare diners to get off their feet and enjoy their purchases on a narrow countertop incapable of retaining Marcucci's regular offerings. Because the subs? Well, they're ginormous. Order a large to go and be handed two monstrosities wrapped in tinfoil just begging to be lifted aside. On your first visit you'll walk out feeling like you've just cheated the place or thinking that the prepper is new. Either way, you end up on top because it's no joke. They somehow manage to stay in business while featuring what seems to be a two for one large sub special ad infinitum. Their contents will be of something nudging slightly above average taste and quality. Any order placed involving cheese will necessitate a surgical operation to extract the foil encasing the sub. It will integrate itself into the mass of contents with a thoroughness deserving of patience, precision and vulgarity. So overall, if I were homeless, I'd save my nickels and make Marcucci's a regular stop on my bottle collection route. read more

Marcucci's Bakery & Grinder Shop - Some of their offerings... - Delis Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Food is decent but customer service is arguably the worst I've ever seen in a restaurant.

Been coming here ever since I can remember! Prices are great and the grinders are always delicious! The baklava, brownies, cookies, custard and pizza squares are awesome too! They can get pretty busy, so we always call ahead... Cash only! read more

Great little sandwich spot. You get a ton for you money. 24 inches for $10. Approximately. I'd recommend starting with an Italian coldcut sub. It was delicious and is pretty much my "go to" on a first try of a deli. The outside was a little sketchy, so if you're not used to inner city life it could be intimidating. I definitely wouldn't walk the area after dark. Inside was nice a clean. Overall its a "must try" if you're in the area. read more

Food's good, decent prices and MOST of the people there have great customer service, but the guy who's there sometimes is kind of a jerk. He's so miserable and rude. I get being burnt out and having bad days, but he's always miserable. If you don't like what you're doing, time to move on. My sister in law goes to Marzillis now because of him, even though she likes the grinders at Marcuccis better. Being nice makes a world of difference. read more

Went in twice sandwich was wrong both times they seemed annoyed they had to re make it the second time because they where so busy I guess so I didnt bother to go back they even repeated it back both times not as good service as when the older lady's worked their read more

I'm pretty much just repeating things that are on other reviews here but I can't resist. The small, square, almost cheeseless slices of pizza are a bit of heaven on earth. You could feed a small army for like $15 with this pizza. And as the others said here the grinders are perfect for road trips, beach trips, trips to the moon. You could again feed 10 people for like $10. Can't beat it. And yes, Marzilli's right down the street is pretty much the same haven for deals. But watch out, these places close early. read more

Not much to look at from the outside in a neighborhood that's seen better days, but isn't that where all of the gems are? Marcucci's has the best grinder rolls I've found in New England and the roll makes a grinder. The prices can't be beat and they have a great selection of grinders and Portuguese favorites like Chourico Rolls. The hold back from 5 stars is that they don't always cut the foot-long grinders in half, which makes it tough to eat in the car. read more

Meh. It's okay. It's definitely not the best place for a roast beef sub. Although their bread is very good, they pack their sandwiches with too much meat. I'm always taking some off. Also, the works aka lettuce, tomatoe and onion aren't included in the price, which I find to be ridiculous. They also don't layer the sandwich very well. The way the bread is cut and how they pack the food in the bread is inconvinent. I also tried their cheeseburger sub. A big no thanks!! The meat was gross and didn't taste anything like real beef. It geeked me out. I'll never get it again. A lot of people rave about this place. If you like simple, meaty sandwiches this is probably the place for you. Oh and as a side note, their Clam Chowder was awful and watery. read more

Great local spot for sandwiches been in business for decades. Both food and service is outstanding great local family owned business. One of the top sandwich shops in the area! read more

This has been my family's go-to for grinders in Fall River for over 40 years. The sizes are huge, the prices are low, and the quality is always fresh. The bakery pizza is great, too. Just remember, it's cash only (old school is cool). read more

Went in to order a turkey and cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo. Pretty easy common sandwich right? When I opened my sub in the car I noticed there wasn't lettuce or tomato. So I sent my boyfriend back in to get it remade and he came out with lettuce an tomato IN A CUP, mayo IN A CUP, no knife to spread the mayo and the same sandwich. I ended up having to go in myself and get it remade. If I wanted to build my own sandwich I would have done that at home, and the fact they couldn't put the lettuce and tomato on for me shows the laziness of your employees. read more

Delicious food in large portions for cheap. Accepts only cash but there is an ATM in the entry

Best grinders in the city. Softest bread, always the same (large and yummy) and the ladies that run the place are the icing on the cake... classic Fall River food... read more

The best Italian grinders!! Perfect to pack up and take to the beach! The bread is soft and chewy! Perfect combo!

This is one the Best sandwich shops I have the pleasure to visit. There lg. Cherico pepper +onion sandwich is to die for. They also have a great italion sub. I always enjoy there food no matter what I buy. Keep up the great work and thank you!! read more

Many have referred to Fall River as an "open cesspool," but they clearly haven't experienced old-school gems like Marcucci's. Everything is super cheap and made quickly. The signature Fall River grinder is the Italian (delicious), but everything I've had from there has been excellent, including the bakery pizza. Anyone who says Marzilli's on the next block is better is, therefore, questionable in all aspects of life and should not be trusted under any circumstances. read more

This used to be my favorite place to buy sandwiches in Fall River and as recently as two years ago I was good for 2-3 visits each week. The staff was friendly and helpful and the sandwiches were great and reasonably priced. Not sure what forced the substantial staff turnover, but the atmosphere and general quality has deteriorated substantially. The last three times I called, I was put on hold and after waiting 10+ minutes (each time) my call was never picked up. The first time I had other things to do and left it at that. Last time I went in and politely explained to a young woman what happened, who responded that she wasn't there last time I called. Today when the same thing happened, I went back and the same young woman told me the phone wasn't on hold and that she just got there (though it was clearly her who answered the call), then proceeded to go do other things. This shop used to have a 'family feel' to it, though in recent years it's just a number of employees with no apparent personal investment who seem (and act) consistently stressed and annoyed by their jobs and the customers. It is true it stays busy (at least for the time being), so I'm not suggesting they aren't working hard, but the atmosphere has become tense and miserable and the customer service is virtually non-existent. After having been a loyal customer for more than 20 yrs and having given this shop every opportunity following turnover to return to greatness, I'm genuinely sad to say I've had enough. read more

I love Marcucci's! I also love Marzilli's. I usually go to the one that is easier to park at that day. Anyway, the prices are really good. I think it is only $3.50 for a small sub, I prefer Italian, and $7.00 for a large. The large is gigantic. You could cut it up and probably serve 4-5 people with it. Slices of pizza are $.50, but it is the square type with the minimal cheese. It's so yummy! read more

A true Fall Riverite knows the difference and has a preference when it comes to Marcucci's vs. Marzilli's. I'm a hardcore Marcucci's girl. This is the ideal summer meal, perfect for the beach or picnic. They make the best grinders (not a sub, not a hoagie, a GRINDER) in the USA. You can't go wrong with a traditional Italian. I really enjoy the turkey and cheese. Besides their grinders, they make excellent bakery pizza. For dessert try the rice pudding (they make it very well) or the custard cups. The prices are so low you can really go crazy, so go for the large sub get a bunch of pizzas and you'll have enough food for the whole day and still money in your pocket. They are CASH ONLY. read more
