"very good sandwich and the cookie was so fast. everything came so fast, great food"
"Sandwiches are great, drink selection is not good. No sodas, iced tea, juice? Anything? I don't want to have to choose blue gatorade or celsius when I want a late night bite. The reason I stop myself from ordering from here more often than another option is because of the drinks honestly. Please add more choices because I'd like to order subway more frequently."

"Food has gone downhill. Chx caesar salad had barely any chicken on it and the chicken was stale. Garlic knots came without marinara. They forgot our buffalo chicken slice as well. Food was poorly packaged so the garlic sauce from the cavatelli broccoli was spilled all over the bag etc. Was a loyal customer but won't be ordering again."

"Amazing t bone steak cooked perfectly, roasted broccoli and sweet potatoes a delightful fridaynight meal! Thank you so much for the preparation. "
"Al AI FUNGHI comes with ample mushroom. The sauce is light, and the dish doesn't feel heavy. I got it with crumbled sausage. The portion size was generous and worth the money. Classic caesar salad was delicious with the blackened salmon. I liked the garlic knots, which are the biggest I've ever had. I ate it without the marinara, which was a bit bland. All in all, it was great. Packaging was perfect. They put the cold separate from hot without even requesting it. I was so grateful and impressed by how well packaged the food was"

"The Italian Cheese Burger was mostly French fries with not much meat. The cheese was cold and not melted. It left a weird after taste in my mouth. The 9 piece chicken and fries was hard and too crispy and I couldn't finish it. Skip this place. "

"We had the the #25 Fresh Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato, Roasted Red Pepper, & Arugula and #3 Italian Hero. Both 10 out of 10. Best sandwiches on the most incredible bread in NJ!!"
"Do not order the Eggplant Parm sandwich. It had to be the worst eggplant sandwich I've ever eaten or tried to eat. The eggplant itself was old, full of seeds. They do not peel their eggplant. Little or no breading. It is cut in lengthwise pieces, not cutlets and there was absolutely no mozzarella cheese on the sandwich. I called to inquire and was told they make half trays of the eggplant and just cut pieces off for the sandwiches therefore I may have not gotten the cheese. It was just terrible. They said sorry about that,. Great customer service. You can't eat eggplant that's full of seeds. Literally it was like mush on a roll with seeds everywhere."
