    A. Mike's Breakfast
    Mia S.

    Great place for a quick, filling breakfast or lunch pick-up! It's a small shop, but don't be deceived. They have tons of sandwich, wrap and panini options - both signature creations and sandwich classics - in addition to a bunch of snacks and drinks. During this trip, I tried the highly recommended Mike's breakfast, a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant with a hashbrown and chipotle aioli. The cheese was melty, the hashbrown was crispy, and the bacon tasted fresh which are all important qualities to look out for in a good breakfast sandwich! The other breakfast sandwich options looked super tasty too, so I look forward to going back to try different sandwiches. The staff is always so kind and provide excellent service. This neighborhood spot is most definitely a gem!

    I got 2 breakfast sandwiches for me and my boyfriend. I had Mike's breakfast, and he had Cliff's breakfast. We both thought that these sandwiches were great for a light meal to start off our day. Service was very friendly and quick. I think I was in and out of here within 10 minutes. I also think it's cool how they switch it up every week with limited time menu items. Their regular menu is extensive so there must be something for everyone.

    I got the special that day which was a chicken finger hoagie, the absolute best hoagie around! Friendly smiles from the gentlemen working the register(Onie) & it was a great community of regulars to people watch from. Great seating for dinning in, highly recommended! Update: I came back the following day because Onie mentioned a special that they only make one a month called the BANG BANG SHRIMP HOAGIE

    Sandwiches are probably my favorite thing to eat for lunch. That said, I am always searching for great places to get one. And I think I have found the best. Stopped by today to get the Buffalo chicken panini. It was reasonably priced, and DELICIOUS. This is my new go to sandwich spot. Cannot wait to try their breakfast sandwiches.

    These are the best sandwiches in Fairmount! I have walked by this place for months, and my boss randomly recommended it to someone who was craving a sandwich. I must admit, it took me a few months to finally step inside, but when I did it perfect timing. My friend was celebrating her birthday, and I chose to visit after she finished her teaching sessions for the morning. We walked into the little deli, and tons of beautiful colors and flavors filled the walls of the space. I have never treated a friend to a birthday sandwich, but as she scanned the walls in delight, I felt a surge of affirmation - it was worth the risk. She ended up choosing two delicious sandwiches for her long day ahead and I landed on my favorite flavor of 2023: The (self-proclaimed) Gabby Sandwich. It's the Grilled Salmon speciality sandwich with out everything else! Beyond the sandwiches, the sides leave you with limitless flavor journeys. There are a lot of fresh fruits, walls teeming with chips (including plantain chips ) and multiple drinks to choose from. As a Montclair native, I of course had the "Joe's Tea" - which now is bottled and produced in Elizabeth, NJ - but I was appreciative of the range of options for enhancing my meal! There is no spoiler alert because the food was FANTASTIC. The best way to conclude is the most genuine review - a woman walked in while I was waiting to pick up her sandwich and as I exited I saw her demolishing her sandwich in the front seat of tje car! It was so good, she couldn't make it another mile without a bite, and if I didn't have to get back to work, I would have been sitting right next to her in the passenger seat. Next time you go, you may see me there! If not, tell them I sent you to Christie's Deli!

    Cute little spot with outdoor seating. I got their croissant special breakfast sandwich with no bacon and egg whites. It was simple, delicious, and totally worth it. They also have amazing Thai iced tea. Cashier was friendly and attentive.

    What an unexpected find this was after climbing the Rocky Steps! It was time to indulge in a hearty breakfast and why not try the Christie's Breakfast sandwich. Filled with satisfying ingredients including crunch (hash brown patty) spicy sauce (garlic Siracha) and yummy fried egg, cheddar, onion and pork roll on a toasted croissant. PERFECTION. I thought I was in Heaven. Very friendly staff. Don't miss this local gem. Low key ambiance-quick serve style.

    D. Cliff's Breakfast
    Elizabeth L.

    This place is the definition of an incredible hole in the wall deli. It's a family run shop and clearly has lots of regulars. These are easily some of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Not exactly something I could eat every day since they're super heavy but very much a "treat yoself" meal after a late night out or... after a big workout! We got the Christie's and Cliff's breakfast specials and were blown away by the generous portions, great quality of ingredients, and the most stunning cheese pull we've seen in a sandwich (I mean, just look at the pics!). We personally preferred the Cliff's, but the Christie was also delicious and must try given the namesake. Can't wait to go back and try the other specials!

    Hidden gem in the fairmount area. The deli is masked by a quiet, ordinary-looking small convenience store but make no mistake - the sandwiches and food inside is amazing. With an extensive and interesting menu, we'll be back many times to try more options. Love Christie's!

I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes.

I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.
