The. Best. Discovery. In. Hamilton. Thus. Far…read more OMG! I love places like this. Unassuming, unpretentious, and just offers no-frills good food and honest prices. That's this place! I thought my GPS was leading me astray - again! - when it took me through a downtown-y residential area with older, two-storey houses. However, when I saw the pack of cars parked on the side of the street, I knew something good MUST be around. :) As you enter, there's a counter with breads behind it and cash register. And on the other side, is where some magical stuff happens, i.e. the hot table. I hesitate even writing this here, but the prices are AH-MAZING. Chicken Parm sandwich sm for $5, lg for $6?? AND since they ran out of large buns, they gave me 2 smaller ones for $6?? WHA...I'm not good at math, but isn't that like B1G1! I really hope that the owners can't decode my shorthand. Anyway, I didn't even explore the back room and that's where, apparently have cold cut sandwiches...which are also supposed to be good. Sandwich comes on one of the buns they bake on-site, your choice of spicy or mild tomato-based sauces, fried onions, and like 2 pieces of nicely seasoned Chicken parmesan. So delicious that you don't care if you're outside, sitting on the curb, eating it with sauce and onions dripping all over your shirt. Looking like a complete schlameel. Check this place out! P.S. SHHH...and don't tell too many people about it.

As a family owned Portuguese bakery, they serve their signature sub-sandwiches: turkey, Black Forest ham, prosciutto, veggie, all but the kitchen sink. Not only are their buns freshly baked in house - they taste amazing and most sandwiches are only $3. What a deal! They also serve other lunchtime dishes like lasagna and soup but their sandwiches are to kill for - think Black Friday or Boxing Day frenzy. It's that good. They also have freshly baked goodies but it's first come first serve. Come with a few bucks and leave with a huge lunch. Pro tip: the Black Forest ham sandwich is superb.

The staff made fun of him, made mocking homophobic remarks and slurs, and were laughing at him.

This is not acceptable treatment of your customers! He was the only person in the restaurant, was about to spend money, and yet this is how he was treated.. clearly Jersey Mikes has NO respect for the working class! I will let others know about this shameful, terrible experience and tell others to NOT come here!

Packets of the yellow mustard was a nice condiment along with the mayonnaise. Good price of $9.00 and they also had the Francesinha sandwich with fries and a fried soft partly runny egg on top but was $25.00 which had thin sliced ham, chorizo sausage and bifana , It was very good but a bit pricey and small in size compared to the European version. They had the 3 flavors of Sumol and also beers but were out of Super Bock. The Natas were good but were not fresh out of the oven rather it was room temperature and $2.50 each which is also the same price for the juice. The service was top notch. Order taker was also the server was very nice. Food came at a decent waiting time. We were the only ones there but she was still very friendly. Ambiance was a simple cafe with seven sitting areas with mostly table for two and a couple of tables for 4. There was the Portuguese radio station playing in the background with some music. They also had the Portuguese news from PT playing in the background. Overall it was very good.

My biggest issue is reliability. I've placed orders ahead of time, only to arrive and be told they aren't ready until much later than promised. It makes it very difficult to plan your day when a "guaranteed" pickup time isn't honoured. To make matters worse, the customer service is disappointing. When I tried to politely voice my concerns on their Facebook page, I wasn't met with an apology or a solution--they simply blocked me. It's pretty unprofessional to silence feedback rather than address the underlying service issues. Pros: * Beautiful shop and great atmosphere. Cons: * Unreliable: Orders are rarely ready when promised. * Payment Restrictions: They don't accept debit or credit, which is a huge inconvenience in this day and age. * Poor Communication: Unwilling to handle customer feedback online. Overall, while the bakery looks the part, the lack of professionalism and the "cash only" hurdle make it hard to recommend. I'll likely be taking my business elsewhere

A classic spot in Hamilton for a quick lunch or to warm you up on a chilly winter's day. I'm a sucker for their creamy tomato with tortellini soup (I know, so basic), but their cream of mushroom & peanut chicken soups are also sooo good! Soups rotate every so often, and they have some of the most unique, ethnic soups I've ever seen, so it's great for the adventurous foodie. Pair with a half/full sandwich or side salad if you're looking for something to fill you up! Service is friendly & quick, but seating is limited.

Still not nearly as high as Subway or Mr. Sub. And it could be just my imagination, but the subs seem smaller. To be clear, this place is the ultimate dive! It's a run down shop in a run down area. But you know what, they are very clean in spite of looking like the place should be condemned. So if you want a good, cheap meal, look no further, and try to look past the "grittyness".

There's an extensive menu of signature subs or a create your own option. We got the large basic turkey sub ($14) to share and it was one of the best subs I've ever had.
