The piece of cod they use is big and healthy enough to stand up to those other crazy good flavors!!! We also shared a salad and some sides. ALL of it was SO tasty. The service was fantastic too. They've perfected their process and even though the line may be long, it'll flow well. We were even lucky enough to snag a picnic table outside. PERFECTION!!!

I am not typically a Gioia's fan, I have had cold sandwiches in the past and they were just ok, I am not a fan of bagged lettuce is probably the main reason. It overpowers everything to me but most people can't even taste it. Large parking lot so plenty of parking. You walk up to a window to order and they hand them out at the other window. A few picnic tables and a cart with condiments and such. We each took our turn in line and then grabbed a table to eat. The orders were prepared quickly and soon we were all enjoying our sandwiches. I got the roast beef on white toasted. No cheese, no butter, just plain. I wasn't sure what to expect based on white bread, but it was a typical sandwich roll. I wish I would have asked if they had au jus because it did need something. I got some giardiniera and that added some heat but I think au jus would have been best. The roast beef was plentiful and had a great flavor, I was pleasantly surprised.

Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!

I stopped in with coworkers today and it was wonderful. I sat and tried to pick the perfect sandwich, but when I got up to order, I couldn't make up my mind. Well, they were kind enough to "surprise me." Yes, that's an option! My sandwich was spicy, sweet, saucy and delicious. My four "must haves" when it comes to a sandwich. I love to overindulge on a good sub. The people that worked here were awesome and super friendly! The customers were even kind and friendly to one another. I highly suggest trying this place SOON! **my one caveat is that it is a bit pricey, but my coworkers and I all agreed, it's well worth the money!!**

After we ordered coffee, they looked at us and told us it would be 5-10 minutes. They had no milk and were out of creamer.

Honestly, neither of us realized until after we sat down that the breakfast rush was long over and they were essentially brewing a pot just for us. They were very nice & accommodated but, boy did I feel bad once it dawned on me. Enjoyed both our bagel & knish.

This go around, I visited around 8p and got my order to-go. Chicken BLT, bacon crispy, and a Turkey & Provolone Hoagie. The sandwiches are ample in size and very tasty.

Recently spent some time in New York and was happy with the bagels - non chewy, not tuff, soft, and consistent throughout. I went with the New York New York option, ample meat was between my bagel halves. Very filling and great taste. I opted for the potato salad as my side, it is mustard based. Potato salad is always Russian Roulette for someone that does not like crunchy onions in their food -- this one passed the test. The flavor was there but no big chunks of raw onion were to be crunched while enjoying my meal. (Please never change that) Great friendly service. Refills on fountain sodas and tea available. Would definitely recommend.

This place is more of a breakfast/sandwich spot first, before it is a bagel shop so don't come here expecting a TON of bagel varieties. Nevertheless, it was still good for breakfast. I got a salt bagel for my BEC, and my husband got cinnamon raisin for his sausage, egg, and cheese. I also ordered a buttered plain bagel for my son. We didn't wait too long, and they gave my son a sticker that he played with while we waited. The bagels were nice and chewy, and I loved that they didn't skimp out on any of the ingredients. The buttered bagel though was VERY buttery, so be ready to wipe your hands a lot while eating it. It was still very good!

He leans in and says, "I can put one together for you... just trust me." And listen... that was the moment I decided to surrender control and embark on a culinary adventure. As he started listing what he had in mind, my skepticism quickly turned into straight-up anticipation. It already sounded incredible--but I HAD to chime in and add tomatoes and banana peppers (because balance, obviously). What I received for $13 was not just a wrap. It was a masterpiece. This thing was PACKED--like, no-such-thing-as-skimping levels of juicy, flavorful chicken. Every bite hit. Every ingredient showed up. No fillers, no regrets. Here's the real kicker: I ate half yesterday... and the other half today? Still. Fresh. Still. Delicious. Still. Worth it. Moral of the story: Sometimes the best thing on the menu... isn't on the menu. Big Belly Deli, I see you. And next time, I'm coming back ready to co-create another masterpiece
