    Purple Line with crispy eggplant
    Masmin P.

    I got the monthly special Purple Line- thinly sliced eggplant, crisply fried, with arugula and red peppers and a delicious spread of burrata. Glad I got a half sandwich as it was a substantial portion. The bread was soft but held up well. One of the two owners took my order and was very friendly and personable. Will be back to try other things on the menu!

    Food truck
    Renee H.

    Ya girl is back once again with a Yelp review. This time it's for a food truck. Food: 5/5 THIS SANDWICH WENT BACKKKK, and so will I. The sandwich I ordered was the drunken chicken parm. The sandwich was good, the meat to bread ratio was 10/10 nice and even. The sauce has the right amount of sweetness, and flavor which does not over power the chicken. The chicken was thinly sliced and breaded, cooked well so that it wasn't rough or super chewy like a lot of subs with thin chicken slices. The meat was layered with sauce in between. On the top of the chicken and sauce was cheese of course- with slices of mozzarella which seemed to be legit not the kind you get a local pizzeria with all the vegetable oil spots. Quite honestly, for a food truck in downtown Boston and the amount of food you get it's worth the $17 price tag- which i know can be steep for some. My photo is only half of the sandwich- I was too deep into the first half. Sorry. Service: 5/5 The service was very good. I went around the time the truck opened- which is what I'd recommend for any business where traffic can pick up easily. The gentleman was super sweet, service was prompt- i got my sandwich within 10 minutes and it was warm. Location: 3/5 The location is in downtown near rowed wharf. For a business it's well located, lots of foot traffic- and they move. I can only speak for the rowes wharf spot. The park is tough, i have to be honest- the truck was a bit hard to find BUT if you go to this link and select get directions, it puts you right near it www...rosekennedygreenway....org/map/?location=food-trucks-rowes-wharf-plaza...of course remove the extra periods. I'm personally not a fan of places that have heavy traffic nor the city. Parking: 1/5 as explained above. Prices: For a food truck the prices lean towards high. But as stated previously, i think it's worth it based on location and quantity. Suggestion: A sandwich with chicken slices and eggplant slices combined would be FIRE.

    Drunken Parm Sandwich

    The drunken parm sandwich is real good. Dare I say the best I've had in the city?! They charge $18 for it and although that seems utterly ridiculous even for Boston, it is worth every penny. Chicken is thin and crispy and smothered in some magically delicious sauce. If you like chicken parm, you must experience this sandwich. Haven't tried anything else on their menu because I can never not get the chicken parm.

    To start, the sandwiches are a little pricey, but they are very tasty. I have successfully split…read morethem with a friend, and that makes the value more reasonable. But I'm actually writing about the company's website and phone recording. Once, on a prior holiday, and today due to a winter storm, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was open. In both cases (where the restaurant turned out to be closed), the website (appropriately) didn't allow online orders, and (more importantly) THE OUTGOING PHONE RECORDING WAS UPDATED WITH CURRENT INFORMATION. In an era where businesses barely have phone numbers to call, or employees who answer with something other than 'hello', is rare (and by the way, this is the fault of management if they don't properly train their staff). THANK YOU FOR HAVING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER IN COMMUNICATING YOUR HOURS TO THE PUBLIC. I, for one, appreciate it.

We ended up having to drop me off at o go in and order and we took our sandwich to go since we couldn't find anywhere to park nearby. We got the pastrami reuben. About 5 minutes later our sandwich came out. I like that they served it in a cardboard box so it doesn't get squished. The sandwich had a good amount of meat and sauerkraut. I was expecting to have the sandwich taste overly salty but it was well balanced. Definitely shareable if you're not starving. Fairly spacious inside with lots of seating. All indoor seating though. You order at the counter and they call your name when it's ready.

    The Italian Sub recommended by ChatGPT, originated in 1995. The place claims to provide the best…read moreItalian sub in Boston, and it truly was excellent. Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.

The sandwiches themselves are massive and freshly made. The bread is the right amount of soft to crust. All in all I wouldn't change a thing it's definitely a must go.

    Such a solid little deli spot in downtown Boston. The guys working there were really friendly and…read morepleasantly chipper. I ordered a chicken salad on a croissant with pickles, onions, and lettuce and it was really good. The best part is you can pretty much build whatever sandwich you want- breakfast or lunch. They've also got plenty of drinks, chips, and treats to choose from. Service is crazy fast too. They had my order ready in no time. There's a small bar setup with a few stools and a couple of tiny tables, so you can sit and eat quickly, but I wouldn't rely on getting a seat if it's busy or if you're with a group. My custom sandwich was $10, which felt reasonable. They've been around for 32 years, which says a lot. Definitely one of those local spots worth supporting. I'll 100% be back. Highly recommend.

I still can't believe that I only just found out about the place despite frequenting the downtown area and working close by for nearly a decade. They're quick counter service and serve a few simple items for breakfast and lunch, mostly sandwiches. So far I've had the pastrami egg sub and the yahoo sandwich. They're both good, but I'd have to say the yahoo is the winner so far as far as the sandwiches go. You can order online, which is a big plus for me and it's very easy to customize items through the online ordering portal. I also happen to really like their iced coffee, too. It's nice to see that there are still simple, no frills spots that execute good tasing food at a reasonable price, and Archie's is definitely one of those spots.

I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)
