Southwestern Chicken Hot sandwich
Ayatt A.

I picked up some take out here on a friday night around 6:30. They close at 8 and by the time I had called they were out of 3 things I wanted. First they didn't have any sauce left for the Engine 2 sandwich, so I asked for a reuben instead. Then they called and said they didn't have the reuben, so I asked for the pulled pork sandwich. When I picked up the food they had given me a reuben anyway. They were also out of french fries so we all went with chips instead. They were homemade and ended up being delicious. My roommate also ordered the salmon with seasonal veggies which we were told was eggplant, zucchini and peppers. When we got home we realized they have given us spinach instead. Although the food was delicious, I think it's best to go in the afternoon!

Best meatball sandwich I've been able to buy since... maybe ever.

I walked in and asked for lunch recommendations. The owner was happy to help. Then I asked for a meatball to sample, because I'm Italian and I love meatballs, but no one ever makes them right. I was happily served a sample and the only thing I can say is that wow, if my mom's Sunday meatballs are a ten, this was a solid nine. I was blown away. This was maybe the best meatball I've ever bought. I was informed that meatball sandwiches come with either fresh fries or fresh potato chips. I made a face for about five seconds at this choice and didn't even have to suggest a salad substitution - it was happily offered before I even opened my mouth. Ooh, the salad was beautifully fresh, and dressing was homemade, just like mom's. Amazing food, amazing service, standard deli prices. Five stars, no questions. I would eat here every single day if I worked nearby.

My wife and I went here for lunch. It's a small place but lots of choices. I got chicken salad sandwich and my wife got the BLT. The bread on both our sandwiches fell apart and was saggy. The guy who took our order was higher than a kite and messed up our simple orders. We won't be eating there again.

Pistachio encrusted salmon served over citrus risotto with a side of asparagus

I always hate getting take out as it is always the same options, Chinese food, pizza or regular deli sandwiches! Then there is Simple Fare! They are bringing take out to a whole new level. You have the option of the sandwiches if you want, but you can also get nice made to order high end meals! The eggplant parm is great, not to much breading, served over pasta and enough for 2 meals! I order the daily special for lunch last week, called ahead then went and picked it up and it was ready to go, where else could you get made to order pistachio encrusted salmon served over citrus risotto and served with asparagus as a take out lunch? They are really bringing take out to a whole new level!

D'Agostino's Delicatessen - Italian Sub.

We recently moved to the Waltham area and have been on the hunt for the best spot to get an Italian…read moreSub delivered! After pouring through reviews and local forums, people consistently mentioned D'Agostino's. I decided to give it a try. Everyone was right: It is a great sandwich! I ordered the small, traditional Italian sub. I ordered mine with easy oil/vinegar, tomatoes, hots, lettuce, and mayo. I'm not a fan of raw onions whatsoever. The sub arrived perfectly, fresh not soggy. The sub roll is super soft, yet somehow holds up to the vegetables and condiments! The bread is freshly baked and some of the best bread I've had from a sub spot! The sub was piled generously, yet sliced perfectly thin for a more "airy" bite. This is exactly how I like my sandwich. I am not a fan where it's like biting into a giant, thick slab of meat. Here, the meat is sliced thin and arranged in such a way that every bite is "airy". True sub fabs will know exactly what this means. The closest example to this is the chain, Jersey Mikes. The meats were sliced thin. Arranged perfectly on that pillow-soft sub roll. Veggies were great, fresh and crisp. Juicy tomatoes. Delicious hots that truly make the sandwich! This is our new go-to for subs in Waltham. Next time, I'll try to be more adventurous given they have a plethora of specialty subs. Sometimes, you just crave a solid, OG Original Italian Sub!

Total mess. Picking up an order that was ordered in advance, people coming in off the street got…read moretheir food first. Very disorganized. Workers literally ignore you.

I've been to Mortadella's twice so far. Both times were near closing (I'm sorry) and I was…read morepleasantly surprised at how lively and upbeat the staff were (most aren't near closing time haha). My first time in was with a friend to grab a slice of their chocolate cake. She was raving about it all night and it lived up to the hype. The cake is firm but moist and fudgy. Second time, I stopper by on a whim for a slice of pizza. I got cheese and bacon ranch. The slices were delicious. I have been on a hunt for a perfect pizza slice, the kind that droops naturally when you lift it and has the perfect sauce to cheese to crust ratio, this was it. Also thought the pricing was reasonable + they have a great rewards program you can sign up for! I am definitely going to be a regulal here moving forward. I've heard great things of Mortadella Head's ceasar sub, excited to go back and try it!

Came here to try the chopped Caesar sub, and for me it did not live up to the hype. First couple…read morebites seemed promising, as the dressing is pretty good, but then I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of dressing in the sandwich and found myself trying to scrape off gobs of it. They're definitely more heavy handed on the sauce, so request light dressing or have it on the side if you're not lots of dressing. I also found the cutlets to be pretty sparse and dry, and the bread was just not good in texture or flavor. Service was fine, it took 20 mins to come out which was longer than I expected, and the space is small but has some seating. I might sound old, but the music was very loud and abrasive, so I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich and left. For $15 it wasn't my kinda sandwich so I probably won't be back.
