My go to sandwich spot when I was in the area. I would consistently order the Gatsby Supreme, it was made to perfection! They sell all types of sandwiches, breakfast items, burgers, and sides. They also have a juice bar and are very friendly. I highly recommend! read more

They moved. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing and I think the space is a little bit more bigger so they aren't in a hole in the wall in a block so I'm assuming that maybe people will notice it more and therefore, they will get more customers. It's very nice And very clean. I haven't been there in a while so I'm excited to try it again now that they have reopened in a brand new spot. read more

Best Italian deli sandwiches in the area & I put that on everything I love. The family feel, the great market of products (their own & famous brands) and the tried & true consistency of building relationships with the same people. It gets no better and I'm looking for no better! read more

I'm visiting the city from Dallas. I've had a lot of good burgers. This place makes one of the best. I got the Hawaiian burger and it was so dope! Fresh bacon, grilled pineapple, great burger patty! Just.. *chef's kiss* read more

Worth a visit. I ordered two Chopped cheese sandwiches to go for my daughter and grandsons. Very courteous staff. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my sandwiches with two people ahead of me. read more

Wish I had taken a picture!! I have passed this place over 100 times and today was my first time going in. So glad I went inside. The best sandwich shop this side of the Bx. Turkey/cheese on rye bread....who has rye bread? This place does. The sandwich was nice & neat most of all the bread was fresh. Everyone I had contact with who worked there was very nice & professional. The store has dark wall or something made it seem like you were in a cave. Lighter walls & brighter lights would do some good. I definitely will be back soon. read more

Delicious! The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food is amazing. The boogie down chicken Parm had just enough franks to give it a good spice without being over powering. It was a delicious blend of flavors. read more

Franco's - Boogie Down Chicken Parm - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bronx, New York

Cheap, fast and easy. It gets a bit rowdy so I would just order takeout. The smoothie here is amazing.

I am new to da Bronx. Not Riverdale or any other similar neighborhood. I'm talkin' about the hood. South BX. Where one can walk by passenger-filled "Rikers Island E-Z Transport" vans. Da Bronx. Anyways, I was in the mood for cheap food. Franco's Heroes kept poppin' up on Yelp, but I ain't much a sandwich guy, so I didn't go at first. However, have 3 Merry Land Buffet lunches, I decided it was time to broaden my horizons. That and when I walked for too long in one direction, my spidey sense urged me to walk no farther. Franco's was a pleasant surprise. First of all, the place is clean and nice. Super clean. Perhaps the cleanest of all the restaurants in the vicinity. Second of all, the menu had more than heroes. They had quesadillas and fresh smoothies. Price-wise, everything here is cheap. You can get a full meal for $5 or $6. The food isn't stellar, but it does the trick and fills the tummy without emptying the wallet. Vegetarians will find options here, too. Ah yes, they also take credit cards! So far I've had the Chicken Quesadilla and Franco's Supreme, minus lettuce and tomatoes. The Quesadilla was basically just chicken and cheese, with some homemade salsa contraption on the side. Again, nothing stellar, but filling. The Franco's Supreme was also substantially portioned, and at my next visit I will inquire about toasting sandwiches. Almost forgot to mention, the guys are super nice. +1 Service +1 Cleanliness +1 Options +1 Bang for the buck Glad I came, and I will return and recommend. read more

Umm yea so I stumbled across this spot looking for a good lunch spot....lets just say, i was lucky. This place is an instant favorite. I had a 149th Supreme sandwich which consists of turkey, bacon and avocado triple decker...wow! I get my sandwich and a water and the dude rings me up....$6! I was expecting at least $8 or $9. I was very impressed with the selection of food and the freshness of my sandwich. Lets just say, I think its a place to hit up. read more

I was highly impressed with this establishment! 1st off, most places in the BX has amazing food but are s#@t holes in the wall who could care less about customer satisfaction. Not this place. Im more so impressed with the ambiance of the dine in. Very clean (including the bathroom), big flat screen TV, decent seating & the decor/theme all gets an A+ Besides the ambiance, the workers in there are really nice/professional. Theres a juice/smoothie stand where you can request any type of smoothie or juice your heart desires. Yayyyy! And to top it off, the food is fresh & tasty. All around, I give this place 5 stars & an A+!! Thumbs Up to the owner read more

the only healthy option around the neighborhood. everyone is very friendly. the sandwiches are amazing. my favorite is franco's supreme. smoothies were also delicious. they also have burritos, hot sandwiches, etc. every other establishment in this neighborhood is fast food. read more

The food here is really good, whether it's breakfast or lunch! Only issue is good luck placing a call to the restaurant for pickup or delivery. You would have to call several times in a row for someone to answer. But other than that really good food and great prices! read more

Official sandwiches of Lincoln Hospital. Solid choices and fair prices. Will eat again. read more

Franco's - delicious - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bronx, New York

The place is small but food is good excellent. Best breakfast lunch spot in the south Bronx. Francos's have never disappointed. Sandwiches are thick. They don't fry, flip and chop eggs and call them scrambled eggs. They actually scramble the eggs. The smoothies and juices are delicious no lumps or clumps. I just love them. read more

I work in the south south Bronx (say it like Jlo would say it, dammit), and everyday as soon as I arrive, and have a seat at my desk I start brainstorming on my options for lunch (this is no easy task).... Mcdonalds, Burger King, Popeyes, KFC, White Castle, the Cuchifrito spot, the numerous spanish food restaurants and pizzerias... PORQUEEEEEEEE!!!!! (why) are there so many fast food restaurants around here! N-E-Ways, I digress..On a great day, I decided to try Francos, and was so glad I did. While their menu isn't extensive, whatever they make they make it good!. They have breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads (tuna, chicken, egg), soup, quesadillas, and tortas.... The quesadillas aren't the greatest, but they are good and way cheaper than the mexican restaurant a few stores down. Now, my favorite sandwich is the 149st supreme, anything with avocado and bacon means I love it. NOW THE BEST PART EVER!!!! SMOOTHIESSSSSSS!!!!!! can you say YUUMMM-AYYYY (sound it out) Ive had the Sunrise Splash (Orange, Strawberry, Banana) and the Berry Tickler (Strawberry, Rasberry, Banana) I'm glad to have found this place. read more

If you live or work around the 149th Street area, I'd put Franco's on my list for a good sandwich. Without a doubt, this small sandwich shop makes some of the best sandwiches in the neighborhood. And while some sandwiches are probably better than others, I think on the whole you'll probably be satisfied. The Franco Supreme, an overstuffed Italian sub is probably the best sandwich in the house. This one is packed with lots of different Boar's Head cold cuts and comes dressed with a pile of lettuce, tomato, peppers and oil & vinegar. It's a sandwich that could be shared by two. Another sandwich, the 149th St. Supreme is a triple decker sandwich made up of turkey, avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomato on sliced bread is also pretty good. I'd probably avoid ordering the Morris Supreme: a pastrami/ corned beef sandwich that comes with melted Swiss cheese. I think most people would agree with me that this sandwich is way too salty. However, there are lots and lots of other different sandwiches on their menu, including some Mexican ones. There's also a smoothie drink stand that seem to be really popular too, although I haven't tried it yet. I get the impression that this is a small family run business that take a lot of pride in their business. In fact, sometimes you'll even see little Franco (their grade school kid) sitting at one of the tables eating potato chips and watching TV after school. However, if there is one down side to Franco's for me, I'd have to day that it is that they close so early at 5:30PM daily. read more

I don't know how these guys make profits with the quality food they use and low prices. I'm not complaining, just saying. They opened recently and have been doing a wonderful job with customer services, consistency of good food, and very friendly staff! I work near by and I've been eating lunch or breakfast here about 3 times a week now. The smoothies are great, but they do not offer protein for them and they automatically put sugar in them without asking. If your into watching what you eat or drink then you can just ask them to make your smoothie without sugar as I do. I wish them well and would like to see expansion. read more

A juice bar is the south Bronx? What?! Yes! This is the main reason I decided to venture of from 161st in search of some healthy alternates to mcdonalds and fried chicken spots near me...and I was pleasantly surprised. I actually make my own green juices in the morning before work but on those running late or lazy mornings this is a great alternative! I normally get the 'Healthy juice' which consists of celery, carrots & oranges and I ask them to add a little ginger and its great! But you can also mix and match any fruits and vegetables you want. They also have pretty good wraps and I like that they have wheat & spinach wraps options. read more

If you're around here around lunch time, don't waste your time with any of the fast food in this neighborhood! The sandwiches are fresh and cheap! Their smoothies are DELICIOUS! Their mexican food is pretty good! It's hard to find good mexican in NYC and I would definitely go out of my way to get some here! read more

There is not a large variety of good food in this area and working in the South Bronx, coming from someone who worked in the city, is a far cry away from Manhattan... Anyways, this makes it a little easier given that their food is good quality at decent prices and GREAT smoothies. Not that can beat Jamba Juice but it can give it a run for its money... I get breakfast constantly from here and their lunch sandwiches are good... Especially the 149 special.. but if you want to go healthier, there are many many options... read more

Got the 149th St. Supreme (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, avocado and three slices of wheat bread, $5.50) delivered to by workplace. It arrived around 40 minutes after--I was warned by the kind gentleman who picked up the telephone orders so I didn't mind. The sammie was cut into quarters which I thought was so cute! It was a decent sammie, and tasted like it was just made, but I did find that I didn't like the extra slice of bread in the middle (making it a triple decker) and the avocado was kind of scarce. I washed it down with a small Berry Tickler smoothie (strawberries, blueberries and banana I believe, $3.50), the whole time thinking that this was the best smoothie I've had in a while! It was sweet (although I was aware that they added sugar) and super fresh. I can't wait to order from them again and try all the different smoothies! Update: The chorizo torta is amazing if you like spicy! read more

Their smoothies are great!!! So refreshing and nice!!! My favorite smoothie is D-Moon Shake. I had their vegetarian burrito once too that was really good as well!! Their smoothies really help me get through the hot days at work though. read more

I love, love love this place. I have tried 5 of their sandwiches and one quesadilla, all of which have been amazing. I haven't tried their smoothies yet but I hope to in the next few days. read more

A nice little secret breakfast hideaway. You almost don't notice it when you're walking by but step inside and it's a clean bistro-like cozy spot. Get your greasy sandwich faves or you can opt for the raw juice bar. Glad I found this place! read more

I used Francos to supply food for some trips through work. They were amazing every step of the way. They individually wrapped all of our meals and delivered them to us right on time. They are helpful and attentive on the phone and are willing to work with you to make your plans work. I highly recommend them. read more

BEST quesadillas ever ! the guacamole is delicious goes just right with the quesadilla. only place i go to around my job. its so little and chill makes you feel like your out of the bronx read more

Gone here a few times. It's a nice deli near Lincoln hospital. I've gotten the franco Supreme which is basically an Italian sub a number of times. The turkey avacado club was also delicious. Today I had the chorizo torta which was exceptionally good! I'd highly recommend it. They also take credit cards, which I know doesn't sound like much but when I'm short on cash, it has made read more

Great breakfast ! Amazing home fries !! They deliver.

My favorite lunch place in the Bronx. Clean which is a huge plus in this neighborhood. Sandwiches are high quality. So great!

absolutely think this place is a gem in the bronx, especially aroundthe hub area. Had a roast beef sandwich while my girl had a veggie juice. Both were real good and fresh and the sandwich wasn't greasy which is important because we are focusing on eating healthy ourselves. I recommend that if you are around the area that you absolute take sometime to grab a bite here. read more

For this area great place for good sandwiches, fresh smoothies. And their Cubans torta probably one of the sandwiches in the area. Place is not pricey but service may take a while.. Perfect if you live nearby. Plus is they take card too. read more

I ordered from Franco's expecting a great Chicken Quesadilla, WRONG idea, cheese was barely melted, 3-4 pieces of chicken and was not given a Green Salsa, or Guacamole. The tastes was HORRIBLE and not to mention some of the bread was BARELY TOASTED. I do not recommend anyone to go there for a quesadilla. You have been warned. read more

Had the supreme wrap on whole wheat and a smoothie- all staff were very friendly and the food was very fresh. Considering how packed it was during lunch rush, they were pretty prompt too. Very cheap, maybe $10 total- good lunch spot! read more

Their sandwiches are great and their fresh fruit smoothies are amazing! Choose exactly how you want it made, add whatever you want to your sandwiches (for a small fee) and combine whatever fruits you want in your smoothie with or without sugar for the same price! SO GOOD! read more

The absolute WORST chicken quesadilla I have ever had. The chicken was rubbery, the cheese was half melted and the quesadilla was soggy and tasted like it had been sitting a while. There was no flavor and to top it off, they forgot the guacamole. Never again. read more

Neighborhood (tiny) restaurant. Regulars coming in and out, families sitting for breakfast... The food and the smoothies are tasty, the latter is made right under your nose from fresh fruits. The service is friendly, AND, it's dirt-cheap. read more
