I had a great sandwich. The service was great. I had no issues with the store when I got there my food was ready

Neat location in downtown Marlborough. Hubby and I both got the angry Italian. Sandwich was yummy. They are very generous with the peppers! Was large enough to share if you don't have huge appetite. The "service" was pretty non existent. We had never been there before, the menu was a board on the wall and the young woman at the register was very impatient for us to hurry up and order. Had to ask for each individual thing..."do sides come with it? Chips or?..." a curt "no" was reply. Finally asked if we could buy chips "they're over there" was response. Same with drink. As far as ambiance, it's in an old fire station so that part is neat but it's basically tables spread out among the retail area of their store. If you're looking for comfort or quiet- this is not the place. read more

Ordered from here for lunch and got the Crazy Caprese, which was pretty good (enjoyed how the mozzarella, balsamic, and arugula went together) but may have been better toasted. I also tried the clam chowder which was a little sour and not quite on par with other chowders I've had from nearby restaurants. I'm not sure if this would be a top choice for me to order from again, but I would try this place again. I like the variety of sandwiches they have available. read more

Fig & goat cheese sandwich was delish. Can't wait to try chowder & butternut squash soups.

Very rude and unfriendly staff. I planned on buying a few cheeses etc but was given an annoyed additude at my 1st inquiry this Saturday afternoon. Rating completely based on customer service read more

We love Vin Bin! We frequent often and my favorite is the Angry Italian. My husband changes what he gets frequently but tends to lean towards getting the Townie. Their clam chowder is *chefs kiss* as is their Butternut Squash soup when it's in season. I will say, though, if the Irate Irishman is ever on special, run - do not walk to get it. It is by far my favorite aside from the Angry. (It's corned beef, spicy mayo, swiss, banana peppers, tomato and romaine - usually on rye!) read more

Best around. Check out the wine specials. Friendly enough folks. More than adequate selection.

Great sandwiches, excellent service and a very cool, casual and relaxed vibe. Free 2hr. parking next door.

The service was nice, which is why they got two stars, but the sandwich was awful. I got a meatball sub and it did feel warm when they handed it to me, I was under the impression that they made the subs per order. I don't think that's true When I unwrapped the sub the cheese was congealed, the meatballs were not hot and there was no signature sauce. read more

I'm sorry to say this place is going downhill, it was the best sandwich place in the area. All of sudden the tuna got salty, the staff got sloppy and treat their customers like they're idiots. Twice now I've asked for extra pickles in an online order and was rewarded with no pickles at all in return, on a tuna bacon cheddar. Now I have a spicy Cuban, one of my favorite sandwiches yet they substituted the regular pork with a cured deli meat(look it's pink). I'm sure it is pork but the flavor and texture difference means I won't finish it. And I'm a big guy known to finish my food. If you don't have the ingredients 86 the sandwich! I'm a forgiving person but the pattern isn't looking good over the course of weeks. read more

This is the best butternut squash soup I've ever had in my life. The ricotta adds a beautiful flavor and texture to an already rich and creamy soup. The pepitas give it the perfect crunch. It's delicious and satisfying. read more

Been to the Vin Bin many many times, maybe too many times. Got the chick n ridiculous to split and two chowders, a clam because usually it's good there.. and buffalo chicken chowder, because I've never tried it. my boyfriend said sandwich, was dry! Clam Chowder - I don't know what I was eating, besides the clam here and there, it was like slimy cheesy butter and oil and honestly I lost my appetite. I did try the Buffalo Chicken dip, I mean chowder. Sorry Vin Bin... not a happy camper over here.. I was really looking for are to what I normally enjoy. Oh, and $30 down the drain! read more

First visit to a The Vin Bin location. Marlborough MA After reading the reviews and viewing the delicious looking sandwiches we decided to give them a try. When you walk in, you are stopped by some large chest high wall, on the other side of this wall it looks like it was once a bar or serving area and now it is just clutter appearing to be a mess... They sell all sorts of wine and some craft beer to go. Both my guest and I ordered The Ruben sandwich The corned beef was good, the sandwiches were both cold- the corned beef was cold and the Swiss cheese not melted. To me the Ruben should be hot. The sandwiches were under cooked/panini pressed at $13.99 each and no pickle. We had a soda and seltzer Total was $35.75 Perhaps their other sandwiches are better ? read more

Creative sandwiches & nourishing soups. Enjoy food in the store or take home with you. Great variety of wines, beers and some speciality food items like cheese spreads, olives...as well. so grateful I finally adventured inside this local gem that has friendly staff, thoughtful food choices (thank you for a variety of vegetarian options) and they also host a variety of events from book clubs to wine tastings. This may become a weekly hangout spot. read more

Ordered the Townie and I WAS BLOWN AWAY! I've never had roast beef this tender and not dry. The Northeast does not play with their roast beef. The horseradish mayo paired so well in the sandwich and gave it a nice kick. I was visiting from out of state so I had to order the clam chowder, and this was my first Massachusetts clam chowder I tried and it was packed with so much clams! The clams were not chewy and overcooked. It was super soft, almost like an oyster texture. I loved it! Only thing was that it was a tad salty. If it had less salt, it would've been perfect. read more

Never had a sandwich I did not like! My favorite is the meatball! But today I had the Tuna, bacon and cheddar and wowww it was amazing!

I got the Angry Italian sandwich, which was delicious only they forgot the provolone. I asked for no mayo or mortadella so thats also why it looks a bit thin in the picture. I only wish I had asked for extra lettuce! My boyfriend got the Firehouse Smoked Turkey, his had provolone on it. Cashier was kind and let me know they were out of a couple things right away, which helped me choose my sandwich. We want to go back soon to try the meatball sandwich, and I'm going to give the Angry Italian another try! Can't believe I've lived here my whole life and haven't tried VinBin! read more

Awesome sandwiches. Based on what I saw I am not sure that you will find anything that is not good. I had the Ruben ( they make their own corned beef) and spicy tortilla soup, both were excellent. My buddy had the smoked turkey which he also enjoyed. They were out of the meatball, next time. Eclectic mix of cheeses, unusual grocery items and extensive selection of wines. Array of tables for seating throughout the store. Highly recommended. read more

Vin Bin continues to impress with consistent all-round excellence, from the outstanding food (made-to-order with fresh high-quality ingredients and house-made sauces and condiments), to the cheerful and professional customer service, and the inviting and engaging layout of the retail section of their stores. All of the sandwiches I've tried have been great, though personally partial to the Crazy Caprese. Be sure to check out the rotating salads and daily soups, which feature seasonal local produce and creative flavor/texture combinations (case-in-point with the current "street corn salad", which marries elements of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines). When the cooler seasons come around, the butternut squash soup (with pepitas and smoked maple ricotta) is an absolute must-have; best rendition of the autumn/winter classic I've tasted anywhere. Big props to the owners and staff for persevering through the trials and tribulations of the past couple years, adapting to the constantly changing situation, finding ways to serve the community and keep everyone safe, and still showing up every day with smiling (or smizing) faces for their customers and for each other. There always seems to be a genuinely upbeat atmosphere and constructive teamwork behind the counter, and the good vibes radiating out contribute to the positive customer experience. Maybe correlated with the low staff turnover rate compared to other businesses in the food service industry. read more

Friendly staff (can't emphasize in my reviews how much this adds to every experience). And the only place that I can find my favorite tuna bacon cheddar. When I don't know what to get, I always come back for that. But they have lots of choices and always good stuff on their specials board, so I always keep my eye out for that. Also, you can get alcohol and beer and goodies to bring home. One stop shopping, doesn't get better than that! PS. They make custom gift baskets! read more

My experience here was phenomenal. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by many of the staff. One girl offered my husband and I beer floats. We ordered the Reuben and the angry Italian along with chips and one of the local sodas. My husband and I were so jealous of each other's sandwiches that we swapped half of each. The ingredients tasted fresh and were so flavorful. We can't wait to stop by for more sandwiches. read more

My husband and I came here for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We really loved the vibe here and we're excited to be taking a break from unpacking in our new place around the corner! The Farmers sandwich is delicious. I love the flavors, especially the fig spread and the apple slices. We've been back several times for food, snacks and of course getting something to drink to bring home. The Vin Bin has a huge selection of liquor, beer and wine we love coming here to bring home some new and local beer getting to try different things. The salads also look really great, I just always choose the sandwich, but one day a big heaping salad from here will be mine! read more

First time there. Overall good fresh sandwiches. Would go back. Love you can have a cider/ beer as well.

The BEST soup and sandwiches bar none. My husband craves their chicken salad and I'm obsessed with their tuna and all of their other offerings too. We can't wait to go back! A must stop for lunch! read more

Popped in for lunch on the recommendation of a local. Good choice. The Vin Bin has the Italian Deli thing going here with a good choice of sandwiches, a few higher end drinks, a great selection of chips and sides. And of course, they have a huge selection of bottled wine but that's not why I was here. I had the Firehouse Turkey sandwich, which was a super tasty panini sandwich. Well assembled, not a drop of it dropped on my shirt which is always a plus. And then I sat to catch up on Facebook, watch the local scenery and then head out. Good lunch! read more

My review is for the cafe portion. This is a fabulous local spot! They have a great selection of sandwiches, fresh housemade soups and salads. They also sell really good quality chips and natural cold teas and beverages. Their sandwiches have a good amount of meat and the flavor combinations are perfect. I have tried the angry Italian and corned beef. The corned beef was perfectly flavorful and not fatty at all. They also didn't overdo it with sauerkraut. They do not put it on rye bread so if you are a traditionalist it might not be for you. The angry Italian has a good kick but not over-powerful. Their homemade soups are the things dreams are made of. If you are soup lover you will never want soup from anywhere else after having theirs! I had the chicken soup with red wine and cream of mushroom recently. They were both mouthwatering and left you wanting to lick the bowl. If they were open during dinner time I would've been back. I have also used them for delivered catering for a work meeting. Working with Mike via email was easy and he was very accommodating. They brought in sandwiches, chips and a custom made pasta salad for our meeting with 20 people. The delivery was on time and in the perfect containers to serve it. The delivery drive was awesome and even offered to help me get it to the meeting room. read more

Ah... the Vin Bin. Sometimes I head to TJ's for some "Chuck," but if I want to treat myself, I'll head over to the Vin Bin. They always seem to have a selection of great wines at various price points and they often have tastings (every Friday night, at least!), which is never a bad thing either! But the Vin Bin is more than just great wine. They have this delightful bread and cheese counter where you can get all the fancy snacks to go with wine you'll ever want. They even have homemade cheese spreads! Also, they have a couple of cold beer fridges toward the back of the store that house delightful microbrews. If I didn't have a mortgage, I'd be in here every night. The Vin Bin is definately a treat, and, although it is in Marlborough (as am I, usually), I would say this place is worth a drive to check out. It's intimate, yet perfectly lit and feels spacious at the same time, and the staff seems to always be friendly. (They sell some nice cigars too... and gift baskets.) read more

Best sandwich I have ever had I got the shoemaker without tomatoes and it has the perfect contrast between the warmth of the bread and the coldness of the chicken and mayo read more

This small wine shop takes pride in their selection of goods, particularly the cheese. The sandwich counter offers a variety of options ranging from a fallafel wrap to a BBQ chicken sandwich to a Caprese Panini. Eating on their small patio also gives you the option of enjoying a glass of house wine or beer for an additional $4-5. The ingredients in the paninis tasted fresh and everything from the cheese/ bread pairing to the sauce was perfect. Overall, a great choice if you happen to be in the area. I would not hesitate to to back. read more

First time visiting & loved it! We had butternut squash soup with ricotta and pepitas, cheesy tomato bisque, and VT grilled cheese. Sooo good! The space is a cute old firehouse and the staff were very nice and helpful. read more

I always order the Reuben from this restaurant. I've never stepped in this cafe as I usually order from my office, if I order out. Whenever I am having a rough day, I usually order this. Warning; this is a heavy sandwich. It makes it a little harder to go through the day, but the comfort and taste are a definite spirit lifter when you are having a rough time and definitely make it worth it. Would recommend if you like Reubens. read more

Sandwiches are always amazing especially the meatball which is the best meatball I have ever had. Perfect fresh crusty bread to savory meatball, cheese (nice and salty provolone), marinara sauce ratio. Nice customer service. One time they gave me the wrong chowder size (of course the smaller one while I had ordered the larger for dinner later) which I did not realize until I got home so check your order before you leave. (accidents happen) Love this place. Wish they would serve sammies at the Hopkinton loc. read more
