I think this is the son of Mr. Valente now who runs the shop. He was so nice to work with and always make the best recommendations. Came by to pick up some homemade sausage, frozen tortellini, and mascarpone. You could get a combo now with a soda of your choice and some chips. I love that they have craft Colorado sodas as selection made with real cane sugar. The deli is clean and always feels well stocked for all the essentials. They have amazing selection of various types of cheesecake, I didn't even notice they had cookies before but ended up getting a couple cookies for dessert to pair with my homecooked sausage and peppers pasta. Make sure you get your punch card if you're getting the canolis, the sausage canolis have a special place in my heart.

What a cool little place. As a small grocery, it is nice. The food was okay. The sandwiches really…read moreare nothing special. Not bad, but it didn't knock my socks off like other little Italian deli's around town can and do. The big flop was the service. I was unsure where to wait to order my sandwich so I waited by the case. While there were numerous employees working behind the counter, and zero other customers in the store, nobody greeted me for an awkwardly long amount of time. Maybe 5 actual minutes passed with me standing there and multiple employees working and even looking at me and never saying anything. Finally someone asked if I needed help. Yes, I want to order a sandwich. I put in my order, and it took about 10 minutes to make the sandwich. Understandable as the meat was sliced to order, which was great. In that time, another person came into the store, grabbed a few items, and stood at the register for that same full ten minutes I waited for my sandwich. Numerous employees working around, one even said hi to her, and nobody asked to help her. I was then asked a second time if I needed help and said I was waiting for my food. The other customer, still ignored. It was awkward for both of us. Finally, when my sandwich was done, they rang me out before she was rung out, and a second employee came to ring her out, and employee who walked past her numerous times while we stood there. Just a very strange customer service experience. They have a lot of room to improve in this area. On the plus side, during my long wait I was able to get photos of the grocery area and their cases and fridges. Lots of selection on the grocery side.

Got the Bomb mi sandwich when the truck was at Talnua Distillery. While a little pricey, what a…read morehefty portion it was! The pork was nice and moist, and there was a generous portion of kimchi on top. While the sandwich was loaded, I felt it was still lacking in a bit of flavor ironically. However, it was tasty and would definitely try other sandwiches from here. The fries were delicious - also a hefty portion, and you could pick between 3 sauces. We got the green smoked Anaheim sauce which was just that, a little smoky but still refreshing - delicious! Our group of four went through two baskets of fries. The fries were thick cut (while a little saggy/not overly crispy, I prefer this kind of cut for fries sometimes - tasted very fresh and natural). Great spot!

With haste, we rushed to the food truck and asked, "What's your best bite?" Minutes later, a piping hot Fish and Chips was in my hand. Seriously, I was kind of stunned by their quick speed! The cod was flaky and crispy in a well-seasoned batter, while the chips were matchstick and crunchy. Some might even say, it was a catch of a meal ;D

Located in the main floor of a business building, this place is packed with European goods. We LOVED the chocolate wall as soon as you walked in with all the Kinder/Milka bars, and right across the aisle from some beers and wines. Great spots for folks coming in to get a small treat. They have all sorts of cheese, meats, butter, frozen pierogies and sausages. The selection was great and the pricing was better on a couple of products we picked up compared to another nearby European grocer. Have to come back another day for their freshly prepped sandwiches and pies. They've been at this location for a few years and was open on a Sunday, please come check them out for some European goodies!

The chicken and meatball parms are my favorite. The sauce was delicious, bread was light yet crisp, and was filling. The mozzarella sticks here are also incredible. It's the breading where you know it's an elite mozz stick as soon as you see it. Service is prompt and friendly, and location is clean. They have a good assortment of drinks too. The patio and bocce is a nice touch while waiting or eating, although it is not exactly a calm and quiet street outside. But the inside is very nice. Would recommend and come back here often for a good sandwich!

I would strongly recommend people to stay away from the food they serve here unless maybe you are…read morewanting a cold sandwich and I am told they have good beer. They simply Do Not care about general food safety getting a hot meal here is rather risky I will explain why. My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.

We had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, the sloppy gnome, the patty melt, eggplant parm, the Cuban, and great fries. We shared, and everyone was thrilled with the flavors and textures. I was so happy my friends enjoyed Jersey food as much as I do! We all loved the atmosphere, and the seating is plentiful inside and out. The parking is wonderful since they have their own lot! I have to add that we asked to speak to the owner, Ken. We were told he is not really a talker. To our surprise, Ken came over and was terrific! He told us the story of his dad starting at 4 am every day to begin the prep for the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for all the Jersey trades workers and other patrons. This is a strong part of the NJ culture. Ken told us the story of how he got connected to gnomes (ask him to see the tats). Ken shared his favorite Jersey food and how he got to Colorado. Great stories that should be on the website! Ken also spoke extremely highly of the brew master. Since I am not a beer drinker, I have no recommendations. This is a fun place to visit! We drove 40 minutes to get there, and we all want to return soon. Thanks, Ken and your talented staff!

She's always rude about it when we've asked, and even went as far as saying that we can make those changes (even though we've tried numerous times to do so). We really appreciate DJ for providing great customer service. We were close to not ordering here anymore because of the other gal, but we're glad to know that someone else answered and was really nice.

Firehouse Subs Missing order…read more On November 24th, my wife walked into Firehouse Subs to pick up an order she had placed on the Firehouse website. Our food was not there. We found out that DoorDash had picked it up and delivered it to their customer. We found this out because the customer had called us, rather than rectifying the situation. The manager at Firehouse refused to remake our food or issue a refund. He told her there was nothing he could do and that she should request a refund online. This compounded the incident with poor customer service. We immediately notified Firehouse Subs about the issue. Jessica was quick to respond. However, she also said there was nothing that she could do as the store's POS system processed our payment. We therefore would have to get the refund from the store. Jessica added that she would forward the information to the store's ownership and management. It's been months, with no communication from the store. They took our money and did not provide us with food. That is theft. And to add insult to injury, their customer service was horrendous. We had already taken the matter up with management on site at the time, and do not wish to waste any more of our time. Sixty dollars is not much to us. But to others, it may be a lot. The reason why I am writing this review is the principle of this matter. What they did is wrong. According to feedingamerica.org, 20% of Americans are living with food insecurity. I said that $60 is not significant to me. However, for the 1 in 5 that it is, I am leaving this review.

Items: [][] Jessica (Firehouse Subs) Nov 26, 2025, 11:20AM EST Hi there, Thanks for reaching back out! I am very sorry to hear that you have not yet been contacted by the store leadership for a resolution. I can understand you wanting a swift resolution, and this is not the experience we want for our fans. Unfortunately, I do not have a time frame for when they will contact you, but I have updated your case and it has been escalated to the restaurant management team. I have also requested that they follow up with you about this as quickly as possible. I have also alerted the store manager, letting them know that you still have not heard from the store yet. The leadership will try to contact you through your cell number, so please look out for unknown number calls that you might receive.   For the quickest resolution, I recommend you contact the store directly as they have the tools to resolve these issues. Once again, I am wholeheartedly sorry for the inconvenience caused and the Firehouse Subs family hope to serve you better soon. Thanks, Jessica
