    Pot Roast Sandwich on Cuban Bread
    Vince H.

    I'm in town visiting for work. Have been here twice, one of the best sandwiches I've had! I love the pot roast sandwich on Cuban pressed bread. The bread is amazing, fries are great, friendly staff. Highly recommended!

    JC's Cuban Sandwich

    I ordered the JC's special which is a HUGE Cuban sandwich, chips and a 32 oz drink. You can't beat it for $12.95. I loved how quick they were in getting my order to me. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because when I get a pressed Cuban, I like my meat to be hot. The meat on my sandwich was still cold, which is most likely because 1. There was a lunch rush and they got me my sandwich pretty quickly, 2. The sandwich is HUGE so it would take awhile for the meat to get warm/hot as well. Otherwise, the flavor was there, the service was fast and friendly, and the ambience in the restaurant was great. It was very clean and not messy by any means. I will definitely be returning! Thank you, J C's!

    A spot that could be missed if you don't pay attention. Finally had some time today to stop in and try it out. Ordered the Cuban sandwich with no Mayo. What came was a gigantic sandwich I wasn't prepared for lol. I could only finish half before asking for a to go box. Packed with so much meat and the bread was soooo fresh? I'll def be back.

    I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich on Cuban bread with fries and their 'fries sauce'. The order line went through quickly and the food was fresh to order. All the staff members were friendly and had a positive attitude despite the number of people at the restaurant during the rush hour. The food was delicious and the sandwich was bigger than I expected. The restaurant had options other than sandwiches to include meals with your choice of meat with rice and beans . I am subtracting one star because it says there is an option to order prior to pick up and for about 15 minutes either no one would answer the phone or the line was busy ... I did try to call around noon so that could be an explanation for no one answering the phone.

    Bacon egg and cheese with home fries

    OMG! Thank you lottery. This place is tucked in next to the lottery office and man is the breakfast food here is the bomb. I had the bacon egg and cheese sandwich with home fries. Food came out hot and fresh. Please give this place this place a try.

    I had to meet a friend here so I said what the heck let me get something to eat... They have a large selection up on the wall which makes it overwhelming and then the line is moving pretty quick so you feel like your in a rush almost if I should do eeny mini miny mo. I went with their fish burrito because someone suggested it and OMG it was humungous . The burrito was great but next time I'll try one of their specialty sandwiches.

    If you work/live by this sandwich shop and are in a hurry for some good food from a clean restaurant, then this is the place for you. When I walked in, I was greeted, but then a little overwhelmed by all the selections above the area you order the food. I asked a few questions about the menu with one of the people making the food behind the counter and they were very patient and did not rush me at all. I just went with the old reliable Cuban sandwich, which was good, but I'll definitely have to come back and try something else.

    Stopped by for breakfast. My wife got the breakfast special, 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and cuban…read morebread. She really liked the potatoes and buttered cuban bread. I got a cuban sandwich, and it was good. I really liked this place. It's a shame I was only in town for one day, or else I would go back.

    The word "legit" is overused. But this sandwich shop is definitely legit. I've been here twice this…read moreweek and had fun experiences both times. During my first visit, I ordered the Cuban sandwich for which they're known. When you go inside, you can go straight to the register if you're planning to just get a sandwich. The lunch special includes a side--I got the big bowl of yellow rice and black beans. The sandwich was delicious. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. I asked the owner (Frank) about his favorite meal. He told me to return on Thursday to try the pigs' feet. So I did.... and... wow! Pigs' feet = lots of bone, small amounts of very tender meat. I can't say I was a big fan of the pigs' feet, but now I can eliminate "eating pigs' feet" from my bucket list. (Okay, they weren't on my bucket list but I'm adding them to my list of accomplishment nevertheless.) If you eat here, strike up a conversation with Frank. He seems like an awesome guy who is very passionate about this little hole-in-the-wall. He arrives super early every morning to prepare the daily specials. And, yes, they're open for breakfast at 6.30a every weekday morning. I'll try that soon.

    Frankie's Italian Deli is a solid spot for comfort food. I tried the vodka and Alfredo cutlet…read moretacos, and both were very good. The cutlets were crispy, the sauces were rich and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were pretty normal, but still satisfying. The main thing to know is that you may have to wait a bit, especially when they're busy. That said, the food was worth it. Overall, good food, fresh flavors, and a place I'd come back to try more from.

    I've been a loyal customer of Frankie's Deli since they opened. I typically order the chicken salad…read moreor a sandwich, and I also place large catering orders for my customers because they genuinely enjoy the food. Unfortunately, after my most recent experience, I won't be returning. I stopped in around 3:00 p.m. and was happy to see it wasn't busy. I went to the deli counter, waited for someone to serve me, ordered my chicken salad, grabbed a soda and chips, and headed to the open register. As I walked up, the cashier called another customer over ahead of me. I waited while he spent several minutes deciding whether to pay cash or by card because of the 4% card fee. I continued standing there with my three items, to the point that I actually set them down and debated walking out. Then, instead of helping me, the cashier motioned for an entire family to come to the registereven though I had been standing there waiting before they arrived. After that, she waved over another customer, and I had to wait while a mother and her two teenagers decided which desserts they wanted. Again, I stood there patiently. When it was finally my turn, there was no greeting, no "thank you for waiting," nothing. The first thing I was asked was, "Do you have a pickup order?" I said no. She then motioned for my chicken salad container, saying she needed it. I placed it on the scale and set my other items on the counter. The cashier then asked, "Are you okay?" I simply shook my head because, honestly, I wasn't. Instead of recognizing why I was frustrated, she continued talking, making comments, and escalating the interaction rather than simply ringing me up. At that point, I asked, "Do you want to argue? Do you want me to go back and forth with you?" I then asked who the manager was. She pointed to a woman beside her, who identified herself as the owner. I asked if she could ring me up instead. Even then, the cashier continued making comments. It was only after she continued engaging me that my voice became louder in response. Rather than addressing the repeated comments from her employee or asking what had happened, the owner immediately said, "Do not raise your voice at my employee." That response was disappointing. There was no concern for the customer experience, no apology for repeatedly being skipped in line, and no attempt to resolve the situation. There was also no acknowledgment that the interaction had been escalated by the cashier's continued remarks before I ever raised my voice. The irony is that I have spent a significant amount of money catering from Frankie's Deli over the years because my customers love the food. Good food will bring people in once. Great customer service keeps them coming back. Sadly, this experience ended that relationship for me. There are plenty of places with great food, but respect and customer service matter just as much. One final thought: this is Florida not NY. Hospitality goes a long way. The aggressive, dismissive attitude I experienced isn't what I expect when supporting a local business. I won't be back.

The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Watching the staff work together so seamlessly in a small space was impressive. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing, and the service was outstanding. To top it off, Vinny surprised us with a complimentary cannoli and a meatball sandwich that had been made by mistake. That kind of generosity says a lot about how they treat their customers. The food was phenomenal! The schiacciata bread is hands-down some of the best we've ever had, and the desserts were just as amazing. We loved it so much that we went online later and ordered the Tony Piccante for dinner--and WOW, it was just as delicious! We can't stop talking about this place. We'll definitely be back again and again. You truly have a gold mine!

But at the bar, one would be standing and facing the backs of people placing their orders.

There were four people sitting at a table and were finished but not moving although there were people waiting to sit down. We did not get a chance to try the food as we left due to the lack of searing.
