    HUNG UP ON ME WHILE LAUGHING!
    Rich M.

    I have been ordering from this establishment for quite a while, with no problems! Unfortunately, today was a NIGHTMARE! I placed a delivery and the entire order was Incorrect! I called and requested the correct order and was told to wait until they deliver me a new order. After waiting for 30 minutes, I decided to call to see the status! The women on the phone hung up on me twice as soon as I requested the status while laughing! The driver finally arrives with the food but is missing the fries and drink. When I called to let them know, a very angry man answers. He stated he was "too busy to talk and has 40 orders" and hung up! I have been ordering for years and I am actually happy to know I will never be supporting this establishment again!

    Retro Burger French Fries

    I wish I could give this spot more than five stars! The food, service, and atmosphere are all a 100/10. I am surprised that they do not have more customers with their delicious food. It is worth the price; in fact, it is worth more. Everything is fresh, from the meat to the vegetables in the burger, which taste like they have been just plucked from a garden. The bun is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The meat has an unimaginable level of flavor since it is grilled on open flame, instead of a griddle, and makes you want to keep taking another bite. The burgers are big and the sliders are a perfect size. Their chicken tenders are fresh and juicy. I would recommend the avocado chicken wrap. Actually, I would like to recommend everything on their menu. There are large portion sizes, all for just the right price.

    Why are you advertising a salad with lettuce and not give?
    Jessica L.

    I'm writing this as the issue is happening. I place an order online for lunch at work. I order a steak salad which as the pic I have provided is described as 'Grilled slices of prime beef on a bed of lettuce'. $18. Worse than midtown prices (I've worked in midtown and still only spent $15). Mind you this is going on just as it's ok to eat certain kinds of romaine lettuce. I, along with a few of my co workers place my order and their meal comes with lettuce. Mine is with all the veggies I ordered my salad with, plus the steak. NO LETTUCE. WHO ORDERS A SALAD WITHOUT LETTUCE. IT ISNT A SALAD THEN. I DID NOT order a $18 salad - $22 with tax and tip for no lettuce. It looks like I'm making a stir fry. I called them right away - they told me they do not serve lettuce to kill people. Um what? Then PLEASE call me with the number I provided when I placed the order to tell me you do not have lettuce and do I want a substitute.....??? I'm not spending $22 for stir fry lol ... Lettuce just came. Honestly - salad is not that bad. Would i order again? no. Def not worth $18. Worse than Midtown... And why advertise a salad with lettuce if you dont provide. You just contradicted yourself Retro... NEVER again.

It is definitely one of my top 5 sandwiches in NYC. The sandwich doesn't look anything special, but when you eat it you will be amazed! There was so much different delicious flavors at every bite: savory, sweet, spicy, tangy. It was a party in my mouth! I make happy sounds whenever I eat delicious foods & I was making too much of that. I also kept saying "jesus christ this is one delicious sandwich"! The cool thing is that u can tell them how to season the sandwich. I asked for the red pepper tomato concoction, pesto, basil, mayo, black pepper, frated parmesan cheese, white vinegar, balsamic glaze. That combo seasoning made that sandwich even more delicious! I have passed by this shop many times & I regret not trying it earlier. I can't wait to try their other sandwiches. I highly highly recommend this shop!

I ordered The Godfather and a hot roast beef sandwich (forgot the name). The Godfather wasn't bad but nothing special about it. The roast beef sandwich was really bland, this could just be a normal thing because I've had other roast beef where it's also bland. If I ever make it back here again I'd love to try their hot foods instead of another sandwich.

I've eaten MANY Italian heroes all over northern NY & NYC and this has to be the best Ive ever had. This place is well established in the local community and I am sure someone has done a video or segment on TV about this place. The amount of food on a sandwich and the quality of their food is impeccable. No heroes loaded up with tomato and lettuce. Just plenty of the "good stuff". Don't give the prices a 2nd glance as these sandwiches have to weight 4-5 lbs each and a full ( 10"?) hero is plenty for 2 very hungry people. They have over 150 Signature sandwiches named after ( mostly) Italian celebrities. ( Fran Sinatra, Yogi Berra, Sophia Loren, etc) I was very satisfied with these 2: ---#119 EDDIE ARCARDO "Try This Thoroughbred"-- Chicken cutlet, salami, ham, olive oil, basil mix, LIONI FRESH MOZZARELLA, Sun-dried tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar ----#P1 THE ROSANNA SCOTTO "You'll Have A Good Day With This One" Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, Soppressata, Fresh Mozzarella, Roasted Peppers OMG! so loaded, so fresh, amazing bread.

The subs are always packed with meat and fresh ingredients; the bread is delicious. Their shop also sells traditional Italian breads ($1.50 for an Italian loaf), sides, desserts, and groceries. They also do catering and long subs for parties and events. The number of choices of subs can be overwhelming! Service: Service was average, nothing bad but nothing great either. Ambiance: There is a small table that seats about 6 people in the shop if you want to eat there. The sub shop/counter is in the back, and the front is a small grocery store with Italian products. Overall, I would recommend this sandwich spot!

    My experience at this establishment was mixed, and it started with confusion before I even placed…read morean order. The cashier informed me that I could not order through her, yet there was no visible signage indicating where customers were supposed to order. For a business operating in a busy beach environment, clear direction and customer flow are essential, and that aspect was noticeably lacking. The seating situation was equally puzzling. After receiving my food, I noticed many people occupying the tables while eating food from completely different establishments. Throughout my visit, groups carrying various meals from around the beach sat freely without being informed otherwise. This gave the impression that the seating area functions more as a public beach dining space than as seating reserved for paying customers. Management may want to evaluate this arrangement, as it can diminish the experience for patrons who purchased food from the restaurant. As for the food itself, the sandwich was undeniably large and offered a generous portion for the price. However, much of the value seemed tied to its size rather than its flavor. The chicken breast was substantial but lacked seasoning and depth of taste. The agua de horchata was even more disappointing, with a flavor that tasted artificial and more reminiscent of a powdered mix than a traditional homemade recipe. Overall, this is not a place that stands out for its atmosphere, food quality, or customer experience. While the portions are impressive, the flavors fail to match the presentation, leaving the impression that you're primarily paying for quantity rather than quality. With improvements to customer service, clearer organization, and more attention to flavor, the experience could be significantly better in the future. Rating: 3/5 stars. Decent portions, but the overall experience and food quality leave plenty of room for improvement.

The service was pleasant and helpful. It was also a really nice day to enjoy authentic Mexican food sitting outside.
