Paulie wants a Cracker
Fox E.

Paulie over to the side of the road and give these sandwiches a try... they're delicious. One of my fave sandwich shops in Houston, large and good value and makes Subway and other chains taste absolutely awful. More people should give them a try as soon as possible.

a sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil
Zach H.

Work team placed an order for pick up - some people got the Reuben, another got their Philly - and I got the grilled chicken pita. It was very good - filled with grilled chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and pickles inside a pita wrap. Serving size was pretty big and quality was decent! Recommend for lunch!

The muffing best muffuletta!
Jeannie K.

I've been on an effing hunt for a good muffuletta in Houston. What is it, you ask - a hot sandwich of Italian cold cuts grooving in mayo with olive spread. The whole muffuletta is the size of a cross-section of a basketball - it is muffing big. And it is so. Dang. Good in its sharp, chopped-olive glory that I had a small one for lunch and went back for the big one for dinner and then some. It's only $2 in difference but the quantity increase from the smaller sandwich to the full-size thing is by an order of magnitude. Frankly it's too salty for me to eat by itself - I grabbed another baguette from the HEB next door to chow with it. But! The flavors are so amazing that I will be back again and again for this delicious sandwich.

They have House of Pies
Cynthia J.

Let's have a moment of silence for Potbelly and Subway! Paulies Poboys is where it's at. Fast, friendly service with DELICIOUS sandwiches! They offer a goid variety of different sandwiches hot and cold. Very yummy! The bread: I love that the bread is a bit crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Now, this isn't a thick bread. It's thin so you won't feel super guilty about the carbs or you won't need to scoop the middle out. The sandwich: I was craving meat so I went with the turkey, ham, bacon, and provolone sandwich with mayo. They give you a lot of meat and cheese. The sandwich was a good size. I ate a fourth and it was very filling. The bacon was smoky. Good flavor. The chips: The brand was Dirty and the salt n vinegar chips were tangy and potent. They also carry Zaps and Lays. They offer House of Pies pies. I got a sweet potato pie even though I don't like sweet potato pies. Every now and then I want to see if I will like it if I try another brand but I still don't like it. It was fresh though. I will be back soon.

Turkey Mufaletta
Jessica T.

The food was good and the service was nice, however I didn't appreciate the staring of me taking my first bite and asking me how is it. Kinda awkward if you ask me... I had no idea who the women was but she was sitting in front of me. She just watched me eat and asked me questions like "How was the first bite? Is it still good? How'd you hear about us? Be honest, on a scale of 1-10 how great is it?" I normally don't mind these things but it was a little disturbing for someone just trying to enjoy their lunch. Maybe asking when I'm through eating, rather than as I'm taking the first bite... Besides all that noise, the turkey mufalleta was good and had good flavors. Just wish the olive salad had more of a tang to it, but that's just a personal preference. Would come back, but I don't like to be bothered and interrogated as I eat. It's awkward.

I happen to stop by Paulie's Poboys to see how the sandwiches were and also I wanted to try something new too. The one thing I noticed right away was the feeling of a nostalgic sandwich shop with the sandwich board menu, the shelves for pickles and jarred items, and an open area to pick chips and drinks as well. I had to ask first for a suggestion on what would be a good choice. I was told by the manager behind the counter I should go with the supreme, if I was really hungry. I chose that and also the Philly. I am eating the Supreme right now and I can say this is a really good choice for sure. The Supreme has, "Extra imported ham, extra salami, extra provolone cheese, chow chow, mayo, & pickles. Also one thing I really thought was really cool was the art on the wall with the Houston team logos. This was a nice visit and I will definitely stop by again to try more of the selections. On a side note, this is actually my high school friend's family business. I was reminded because of my sister played basketball with her. It was a surprise to me and now I remember from way back. Paulie's also has a location in Bellaire.

CUBAN POBOY

I've been on the hunt for a good Cuban for months. I've had Cubans from several different restaurants, most of them from actual Cuban restaurants. I've left disappointed almost every time. Each sandwich was missing something that Cuban sandwiches are "supposed to" have. Fast forward to today. I saw when looking at their menu that they had a Cuban that was right up my alley. I'm not big on mustard only so I usually like some mayo, to break up the "bite" from the mustard. This sandwich was everything. I happy danced while eating it and told my boyfriend I was going to drive back up to the restaurant to give the lady who made my sandwich a hug, COVID be damned. The sandwich couldn't have been more perfect. I will be back, for sure!! Side note: I do LOVE mayo so, that part was great!!

Brielle E.

The guy behind the counter is nice, but this food was terrible. Maybe it was just my food. Hard bread, just overall not very good. I'm forcing myself to eat this right no Thank you to the owner for the response.

Philly
Johna S.

I had the philly hot Poboy combo. It came with a decent sized sandwich a bag of Zappa's chips and i fountain drink. No reflection on the restaurant I'm sure but my bag of chips were way to salty so I had to trash them. (Took my order to go) The sandwich had a nice ratio of bread to meat. There were onions and peppers and should have been topped with crunchy onions but i opted to not have those. The meat was seasoned well and tender. One of the peppers used had more of a tangy taste that I didn't really like. The guy behind the corner was very nice and accommodating. The place was really clean and organized, its a bit of a small space. There is in door seating. I may return to try another sandwich or possibly make adjustments to the philly.

Cuban Poboys and cherry pie
Walter A.

I ordered the Cuban Poboys. it was very good just wish the sandwich was just a little bigger. The do carry some house of pies options for dessert which are very good.

Cuban

Came in for lunch on a Friday around 12:30. No customers inside. I was reccomened the Cuban. Tasty, fresh and hot. Chips + drink came out to $14.50 , so a bit pricey but everything now a days is.. inside was very clean and they ladies working the counter were friendly.

The restaurant was busy, but it was not full…read more When we arrived, the host looked around as they led us inside, appearing unsure where to seat us. We were ultimately shown to a table directly in front of the kitchen. As we sat there, I gradually began to notice some troubling things. Another Asian group was seated at a table next to one of the kitchen entrances. Later, when they finished their meal and left, another Asian family was seated at the same table. In addition, a Black family was seated next to another kitchen exit. A woman in that group asked to be moved to a different table. The food itself was very good, and the server who took care of us was pleasant and kind. My concern was specifically with the way the host assigned tables. Seeing this seating pattern repeated even though other tables were available made me strongly feel that race was influencing the seating decisions. I found the experience very upsetting. Of course, it is up to the restaurant to decide how it will assign tables in the future. I would be glad if this experience prompted the restaurant to recognize the issue and make changes. On the other hand, if nothing changes, I will consider this to be part of the restaurant's character. I am leaving this review to share what I personally saw and experienced.

We pulled up and didn't see a lot of diners, but that's not always a sign that things are bad. We entered and I love the local vibes and decor. We were quickly greeted and the guy at the register answered our questions. We both ordered the Reuben and I went to look at the cookies. I noticed my husband's demeanor change when I ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie.He told me that he had to let the cashier know not to spit in a napkin and then use the same hands, uncleaned or sanitized to grab my cookie. He said the guy responded that he wasn't touching it with his hands, he was using the parchment to grab and wrap it. As a medical professional, I was both nauseated and appalled that he didn't grasp how infection is spread. Yes, your dirty hands are not touching the cookie, but your cooties are still on the outside of it. Thus when I go to unwrap it, now they're on my hands and ingested when I pick the cookie up to eat it. Clearly COVID has taught us much less than I thought... Reuben was okay, but I think the experience was ruined for me because I questioned how sanitary things were as I tried them. I also left the cookie with the rest of the trash in the same parchment it was wrapped in. Goes without saying, but we won't be back...we live in Pearland anyway. So it's not worth the drive for us.....Enter with caution & sanitizer apparently.

Wow! I stumbled upon Phoenicia Specialty Foods while sauntering about downtown Houston and boy am I…read moreglad I did! What a special place this is! When I stepped inside I was delighted with the surplus of gorgeous foods and snacks from all over the world. Chocolates, candies, savory snacks, frozen foods, pastry cases that are yards long, a deli case to make others jealous, a chicken wing selection for every fans tastebud, an olive bar boasting 20 varieties, and so much more I didn't even discover. Their fresh foods were some of the prettiest I've seen and the pastry case was one I could have gazed at all day. In the end I left with one of their famous giant cookies and it was delicious. Prices seemed quite reasonable for the quality of the food and the area, and the staff were so nice! I wish I lived closer so that I could enjoy this place on the regular; guess I'll just have to come back soon.

I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

They offered an assortment of goods and items that are great for gifts and for your own home. I can always find something of interest in the store. I also love that they tend to carry items that are a little more boutique and local which makes it fun to browse. A lot of people visit for the barbecue. If I recall, when they first were serving BBQ it was a smaller, more limited time and they've since extended those hours. When visiting there is plenty of street parking in the area. They have expanded the seating inside since when they first opened which is nice for those not looking to takeaway food. Food & Drink - 4.25* The counter for ordering is in the back. I definitely recommend getting an assortment or a plate. Sausage and brisket are both solid. The sides are good too. I did notice the quality maybe dipped a little as the hours expanded, but it's still a very good option to some of the nearby establishments down the road or over in the North Main area that tend to have giant queues. When I was working downtown we'd swing over here quickly for a lunch. Feel free to grab anything to drink from the coolers as well if it catches your interest. Service - 5* Solid. We've spoken directly with the owners when visiting and it's evident they care deeply about their store, their customers, and the community. Definitely support your local businesses!! Cost - 4.5* Always subjective. I think for what they offer, how clean and well organized the shop is, it shows. They keep prices approachable. Overall - 4.5* Personally, I think it's a great balance of quality, convenience, and an assortment of goods that make it interesting. If you're in the area or live nearby, walk on over and check it out.

I'd definitely come back to Maine-ly Sandwiches! They're serving some of the best lobster rolls…read moreI've had in the city. I've seen some reviews complain about the pricing, but honestly, I thought it was reasonable for the fresh-tasting lobster and the quality of the food.

The fish and chips were good as well, although I wasn't too impressed with the mac and cheese, even after adding lobster to it.

I really didn't have high expectations and to be honest, the first visual inspection of the lobster roll had me second guessing... But I thoroughly enjoyed it! The bread was fluffy and plentiful, and I thought there was a good balance between lobster ratio and bread. As of October 2026 - the lobster roll was $17 and to add on fries was $1.50. Pretty comparable to Maine prices actually. Can't say where they source the lobster from, but it didn't taste fishy or off, so I call it a win. I also loved the crinkle cut fries - fresh and crispy, but lacked salt. If it was seasoned with salt, it would get the last star of my review.
