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.

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.

My friend and I always go to their truck when they're at SOWA Sundays, and sometimes it'll be the only reason we go to the market that day. The food heavily reminds me of the sandwiches I would get at my local Italian spots in New Jersey, which is not something I really ever found in Boston. Menu is really small, but everything is good; focused on hot Italian sandwiches (made with eggplant and chicken cutlets), with a changing monthly special. The staff is young (founded by college friends!), super friendly, and they bring a really good energy every time I've visited them. Be warned - their portions are large and very filling. Good for a quick lunch to takeout and enjoy outside when the weather is nice. My favorite sandwiches to order here are the Drunken Parm adn the Caprese Melanzana!

The green beans didn't detract from the flavor of the sandwich and added a nice textural component to it. The jalapeño sauce was pretty mild whereas the habanero sauce packed a serious punch. Go for the beef over the chicken as the chicken was slightly dry. Solid fries too (especially the Spicy Mayo dipping sauce--absolutely bomb, definitely one of the highlights of the meal). Very hospitable owner and hostess. It clearly is a cherished establishment as people were constantly coming in and out

Yes, does remind me of places in Italy, where qualityof ingredients is paramount, bread important, etc. It's a fast paced place, and the line moves quickly... they have it down. I wanted to love fall in love with it, but have to say, the two I tried did not blow me away. I liked LA SUMMER Proscuitto, Mozzerella, Tomato, Basil better than their top selling FAVOLOSA made with salame toscana, pecorino cream, artichoke cream, and spicy eggplant.

The people working there are super helpful and so friendly. They show extreme patience with questions and offer suggestions. The ambience is typical of an old pizza place. I loved it.

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)

Went simple with the chicken finger & fries. Want your typical junky finger, had good meat no fat or hard stuff in it. They were nice and hot, crispy and had good flavor. Deff get the bbq and honey mustard for dipping. Service was fast and friendly, greeted everyone when they walked in (not typical for Boston lol). Inside was on the smaller side with several tables and high top seating but very clean. Menu had a solid range of options for a smaller place.. Subs, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and salads. One of those spots where you could come back a few times and try something different each visit. Only regret.. i missed the special sign that mentioned they had a breakfast burger available that sounded delicious, would've ordered that immediately instead. Overall, Stubbys is a great spot to stop in for a quick bite to eat if you are on the move with solid options to choose from.
