Grabbed lunch here with a Yelp Elite friend and we immediately found ourselves drooling over the menu for a solid five minutes. Everything sounded so good that picking just one sandwich felt impossible, so we decided to split a couple. The cashier was the absolute sweetest--so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help, which set a great tone right from the start. We ended up sharing the Hideout panini (a delicious vegetarian combo with eggplant and mushrooms) and the Fugetaboutit turkey sandwich. Both were fantastic, and the specialty mayos on each really took them to the next level. Honestly, I probably could have demolished both sandwiches right then and there, but we were deep in conversation so I saved the panini to enjoy later at home. Overall, this is a great little spot for sandwiches made with love, paired with great service and even better company. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a really solid sandwich. read more

After a good sauna-sweat session at Lumos, a fellow Yelp Elite and I were looking for a good, local spot for lunch, preferably a spot that made sandwiches/paninis. I came across Joe's Panini Grill and Deli and we both agreed this checked the boxes. All-in-all, we had a great experience here! We arrived a little before 1pm on a Monday and grabbed a parking spot right by the main entrance. Their parking lot has plenty of spaces although it's a little bumpy to pull into, the parking lot needs to be repaved/repaired. Upon walking in, it's on the smaller side, but shockingly, there are a nice number of tables and chairs, we had no problem finding a seat. It's nothing fancy inside, but it doesn't need to be - It was clean and comfortable. We grabbed a paper menu and were impressed with the variety of sandwiches! After a few minutes, we decided to order a couple sandwiches and split them. The woman who took our order was incredibly friendly, very warm and welcoming! She did a nice job making us feel welcome, like one of the regulars. Once our order was placed, we sat a just-cleaned table and had great conversation and about 15 minutes later, our lunch was brought to our table. For lunch, the first sandwich we ordered was the "01 - Fugetaboutit", a turkey 'sangwich' with sweet peppers, provolone cheese, red onion, lettuce, and chili mayo. The second sandwich was the "30 - Hideout", a panini 'sangwich' with eggplant, portabella mushrooms, onion, tomato, sweet peppers, provolone, and sundried tomato and basil mayo. The "Fugetaboutit" was packed with turkey and the roll it was served on was the perfect balance of chew and crust/crunch. The chili mayo added a nice light spice to it. The "Hideout" was toasted perfectly, a great crisp, crunch to the bread. A nice amount of eggplant and portabella mushrooms inside, and I really enjoyed the sundried tomato and basil mayo, not too much to overpower everything else in the 'sangwich'. I have a "healthy" appetite so I easily devoured half of both and walked away perfectly filled up. My friend boxed up half of their meal to have later but enjoyed the "Fugetaboutit"! For the price, I thought the portions were very appropriate, no complaints from me here! Joe's Panini Grill and Deli nailed the local, neighborhood-feeling lunch spot! Friendly customer service, affordable prices, an expansive menu, if I were in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to come back and grab lunch here. read more

Love a good Sammy! I have to think somehow these guys and Marcos Italian Deli are related. Concept is the same, and some similar sandwhiches as Marcos. Nice to get that Marcos flavor without having to travel now out to Maple drive. But back to Joes. There are tons of options! No way you won't find something you want. We tried the God Father, the Bugsy and the adult grilled cheese with a side of fries. The house favorite was the adult grilled cheese. We even door dashed it and it still came pipping hot and the cheese pull was perfection! The other two sandwhiches were just as good. Not shy with the meats! Great price to value. The fries were crinkles, but could of been cooked more for my liking and definitely needed salt. But that's an easy fix. I'll definitely be back have more menu items to try. read more

It was a regular Saturday evening. Took a stroll around the area and found myself at the door of Joes. I then ordered a godfather sub and it changed my life. read more

A wonderful side of the building sandwich grill and deli. Treated like you've been there a million times on your first time. Grab a menu and sit down cause you're going to want to read the great combinations of sandwiches. I'm biased. It's only my opinion, but I believe the Panini sandwich is the pinnacle of sandwiches. Two layers of crunch with high-quality ingredients in between. Bread was fresh. even though I was very full after my sandwich and onion rings, I made room for a super decadent peanut butter soft cookie. I'm going to make this one of my regular places. There's plenty of parking and the dining room would make Mom smile with how clean it is. The dining room had plenty of seating also. read more

Couple things: - he obviously sells guns out of his deli. - the old man who helped us, obviously was the owner was short and rude. I don't mind direct speech about your menu but to be rude to new customers is insane - how am I suppose to know the chicken sandwich takes 30mins to make because the chicken is raw - how am I suppose to know the the sun dried tomatoes is mixed into the mayo? - just bizarre energy and I didn't get the chicken sandwich and it still took 30mins. read more

Very casual place established in 2019 but has a feel of being there forever. Counter ordering, some simple seating, and Italian mafia inspiration. We arrived at 6:40 pm and ordered The Hideout Eggplant panini, The Godfather prime rib sangwich, the Underboss chicken BLT, and an antipasto. The owner was concerned our order would take over an hour to make. Sandwiches take a half hour to cook and he can only cook one at a time. So don't come here in a rush, unless you pre-order. At first, I felt the owner wasn't very hospitable...but after our order was submitted, he was chatty with us. I think his charm includes the disgruntled, but friendly vibe. Despite us sitting at a table, he delivered our food to go. Since he closes at 7:30, I think he may have been eager to close. We took advantage of the nice weather and found a picnic table to enjoy the food. The biggest hits were the Underboss and the antipasto. None of the kids liked the eggplant (but that was my favorite). The prime rib had mushrooms and spicy peppers. Kids also enjoyed the glass bottle soda options and all went with a root beer. read more

Literally, figuratively, and in reality this is the best sandwich place I've ever been to in the 60 years I've been on the Earth. I had the Panini with salami, mozzarella cheese, and homemade pickled eggplant. If you've never had homemade pickled eggplant, this is amazing stuff just like my mothers ...run, don't walk to this place. Order sandwiches with pickled eggplant.!! Try it you'll never go back it's never been seen in Buffalo outside of Italian peoples homes. Go try it it's fabulous. read more

Joe's Panini Grill - Stuffed banana pepper soup & Adult Grilled Cheese Panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Buffalo, New York

One of my fav sandwiches in the Buffalo area. Seeded roll comes out on point, thin and crispy. The deli meat is Boars head, the key to a delicious sub. Owner is very nice and will give you recommendations. Just order the fugetabout it and thank me later. Turkey, cheese, roasted red pepper and chili mayo. Even if you don't like mayo you'll want to eat this, amazing. I can eat more then a full sub so if you were thinking of getting a half, get the whole. Fries come out crispy, but a little dry. Still worthy of a purchase though. There are soups of the day, haven't had then in a while but I remember the stuffed banana pepp being very tasty. read more

I honestly forget about Joe's-IDK why cause their sandwiches are delicious. Decent size for a sandwich (not sub) plenty of meat...the oil is the icing on the cake here-brings it all together the way the oil soaks into the tomatoes and lettuce-oh boy! I would take one of their cold sandwiches over any local cold sub! Cant beat the price. When searching the delivery apps (grub hub) Joes pops up, low delivery fee and fastttt delivery. read more

Absolutely delicious!! We love an old school Italian sandwich shop and the quality of this one is really above and beyond; they use boar's head meats (the best), fresh cheeses, scratch made soups and mayos, and gave fresh bread delivered daily. Everything is great here but last time I had the forgedaboutit turkey sandwich and it was so delicious Ill probably keep getting that. Talked to the owner last time and he is such a nice guy who really cares about quality. He told us we gotta come back Thursday and Friday for the homemade banana pepper soup and chicken wing soup. The best part is prices are reasonable, subs are starting to become a racket a lot of places but here it's definitely a good value. read more

Hey! When you want a sandwich what are you looking for? Certainly not starched table cloths with fine silvery utensils decorating your table front! I want a sandwich put me in a hangout where the board teases and entices with options like 'Joe Balls,' 'Franky Fingers,' 'Goomba,' the 'Big Johnson,' 'Vinnie Barbarino,' and 'Stugots.' Alright so you sort of are looking for THE GF but sandwiches my friends ain't supposed to be dainty corners of bread served with a China cup where you have to curl your pinky finger. You want a guy named Joe with half pencil in hand at the counter ... and the dining area says EAT no tippy toeing needed!! So I stepped and asked Joe what's the best? He glances up over his shoulder ... "start with the first on the board." Seriously? "It's the best" and so I ordered up a "FUGETABOUTIT" with its deli turkey, provolone, red peppers and chili mayo! Arriving after the crowd ... I found a spot amidst walks adorned with Pacino, DeNiro, and the Rat Pack. Now Joe is a talkative shop owner so I get some history ... but out he comes with a smile! "You're gonna luv this and it will clear your sinuses!" Means something when a man takes pride in his work! So badda bing badda bang I see this awesome sandwich and my nose picks up the scent of the chili mayo all sitting on a perfectly toasted roll! OPEN WIDE and YES, oh YES this is some good sandwich!!! Asked Joe about the deli meat ... its trucked in from THE BIG CITY (NYC); Boars Head. I detect renewed energy in Joe's voice "Gotta have the best! Their turkey no one can beat and their roast beef is OUTSTANDING!" Some more chatter with Joe as I allow this special sandwich to take over my taste buds! Joe has to get into the kitchen so I am watching the front door ... don't see no one with violin cases out on THE DELAWARE (The street not Joe's sandwich.). So why did I put the hit on one star of this classy sandwich joint? The WATER ... I don't want to pay for no stinkin bottled water ... open up the tap Joe. Unless .... maybe Joe knows someone is lying with the fishes and this costly bottle from Poland's Springs (What, no Venetia waters?) might have been for my health. Walkin' out checking my back to decide on my next sandwich from Joe's ... local ... deli meat from THE BIG APPLE and the type of place you eat in at with your fingers wrapped around a sandwich whose creator takes pride in his creation!! read more

I've only had delivery from Joes, and over a 2 or so years, have had a couple different things. Always great! But, the thing that has now gotten me to be my "only" from now on was discovering they have Muffaletta! It's described on the menu as follows "A 10-inch round roll with turkey, ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato and onion, sweet and hot peppers with chili mayo." Calling this a roll is kind of misleading. It's like a cross between a soft pita and a sliced flat bread. Nothing else like it. And so delicious! The amount of meat is extremely generous. The pepper spread is perfect and the chili mayo taste tops off this amazing sandwich. It is so huge, it can be 4 meals for one person, or 2 meals for 2 people. I'd gone to places many times that had Muffaletta, though it's not easy to find! Some places have gone out of business. Some have it only as a special. Some have just removed it. So, whenever I see it, and see it served on that special "roll", I'm excited!!! The classic muffaletta should have an olive tampenade, but with that great pepper spread, the olives aren't missed. Love love love it! read more

Are you seriously going to prepare sangwiches without wearing a mask? Or Gloves? While coughing!! NO Thank you. This is how the virus is spread. Never getting take out from here again.

Cute little place in Kenmore. Felt bad we got there about 20 mins to close but Joe was nice enough to make a couple Panini's we brought home. I ordered The Sicilian Panini that came with flat Italian sausages, mozzarella, tomatos and topped with garlic oil along with marinara sauce to dip in, it was really good! My girlfriend ordered the Its A Bella Vegalini that had quite a bit of various vegies in it such as onions, peppers, marinated eggplant, and lettuce along with provolone. She enjoyed it! Good work Joe! read more

Love going here. The toasted sandwich rolls are excellent. Good lunch combos with a salad, soup, and drink. I've probably had 3/4 of the sandwiches and like them all. The Hitman is typically my go to. The wife gets the Nicky. Nice combinations with different spreads. Great place to go...plus Joe is a good dude. Support local! read more

I have to say I was absolutely shocked when I was told by the owner that this restaurant allows patrons to open carry pistols. They legitimately have signs stating this. They are using a loophole within the new NYS law to allow this. Completely disrespectful, dangerous, and ignorant. I will never give them my business and will pass along this information to my community. read more

Great food and great prices for smaller, hidden gem on Delaware. It is about as personal and casual an eatery you will find.

Came here for the first time today. I was going to try their eggplant panini, but it is marinated in a chili sauce and I'm allergic to hot peppers. So I opted for the blue cheese burger with sundried tomato basil mayo. The burger was delicious and well priced--$5.99. The blue cheese made it taste rich and salty. Also the sundried tomatoes added a nice touch of color and flavor. I couldn't taste the basil, however, because the blue cheese was so overpowering. I'll definitely come again. They have a huge menu, so lots of options. Also the server/chef/possible owner was friendly, polite, patient, and cared about my food. Kudos to him. read more

Great food and the owner is the nicest man. Just so sweet. Try The Blonde Bombshell panini. So good.

Awful experience! Went into the restaurant to pick up my order and the guy that made my sandwich was NOT WEARING A MASK!!! or gloves for that matter. I totally lost my appetite when I saw him touching food AND then answering the phone! I could not even look at my sandwich without thinking of how carelessly it was prepared. If you wanna lose money and weight, this is the place to go. Blah. read more

Joe's is a place that is molto memorable ! I got a variety of sangwichs to have for the weekend. They're made with an artisans hand that cares for his product. I wish for Joe to have great success as he's a person devoted to his craft. I will be going frequently as it's one of my places for great sangwichs. It's owned and operated by Joe! All the other places I visit locally for a great sandwich come up short on taste and creativity and are run by kids or people with so many tattoos and piercings its worrisome about the hygiene of the establishment. I've been a restaurant owner and see where there are failings in health code. The places run by kids are the worst offenders as they don't concern themselves with food borne pathogens. All the best to Joe's Panini Grill of Kenmore! read more

We were walking around Niawanda Park and both got hungry, but didn't know the area quite well enough to know where to eat. So we looked for something that had sandwiches and Joe's came up. Neither of us had heard of it but we were in the mood to try something new, so we stopped by. Excellent decision! Joe's seems to be a one man operation, with the man behind the counter talking to guests and going in the back to make the food. He was very friendly and offers recommendations freely, and genuinely seems to care about what you're in the mood for which was great. My partner decided quite quickly that she wanted an italian panini and chose The Getaway while I was craving a chicken finger sub - Joe had two options, Franky Fingers if you wanted hot and I don't quite remember the name of the other one, but I went Franky Fingers, which had an incredible chili mayo on it. It was clear to me just from tasting both sandwiches that the man clearly knew his flavor combinations - both sandwiches were excellent. Pricing is great, and if you want to eat in there is an extremely relaxed, neighborhood vibe that suits the place perfectly. If I lived close I would be eating at this place incredibly often, but since I don't, I will have to keep it in my back pocket for when I'm near. It really is a great hidden gem of the area that I hope sticks around for a long time. read more

I went in during an off peak hour and the place was completely empty, I didn't see another customer the entire time I was there, which worried me at first, but the food is delicious. Just the one guy working there and me. I ordered two sandwiches to go and he disappeared into the back reappearing once to tidy something behind the counter and then disappearing once more leaving me plenty of time to appreciate the decor. If I had one complaint it would be that the building has that Buffalo bar smell, which you may be familiar with if you've been to legendary Buffalo eateries like Danny's and Mister Dee's. It's a clean restaurant, don't worry! Our sandwiches were amazing. The price was reasonable. The atmosphere was amazing if you're a fan of classic mob movies and shows. read more

Great food have a sangwich and you won't be hungry later! No long waits and excellent service. I'll be back!

DON'T GO HERE. weirdest experience picking up food from here. i ordered through grubhub for pickup because there's no option on their website to place an order. the owner told me in a very hostile manner to "NEVER do that again" because grubhub charges 20% and "next time i'm gonna make you pay the 20%". super aggressive and weird plus he wasn't wearing a mask which apparently is normal for him after reading other reviews. very dingy place and the food isn't even good plus didn't get the fries i ordered but was such a rude interaction i wasn't going to go back in there again to ask for them. after doing more research apparently he also told someone wearing a BLM mask to "take that off you're not a communist". extremely problematic owner this place shouldn't even be in business. read more

Joe's Panini Grill is probably my favorite sandwich shop in the area. I used to go all the time when I worked in the Kenmore area and had it today and I forgot how good it is. The homemade spicy mayo is incredible if you like a bit of a kick to your sauce. The rolls are always toasted perfectly and there's a perfect blend of meat and veggies. I highly recommend Joe's Panini Grill! read more

Love this place! It's not easily noticeable when you're driving but it's definitely worth the time to check out. The ambiance is pretty cozy. You feel as though you're in your families living room. The dim decor makes you really warm. Joe is an amazing guy. He is fun to talk to and actually gives you a bit of history about how he started. The clientele that come in all seem to know him (a lot of them are regulars so obviously this place has to be good if the same people keep coming back). Joe started out as a franchise of Marcos Italian deli, but given the extortionate franchise fees joe decided to start his own business and rename it. Basically, Joe's is a better done Marcos. The menu is almost the same...even the sandwich names are similar. For example, Marcos has a sandwich called "mama Mia" and Joe's is called "mama" lol. Same ingredients and everything! I slightly prefer Joe's because he actually makes sure your sandwich is nice and toasted before you get it. I almost always get the "mama" as that's probably my favorite kind of sandwich(turkey+ bacon). I highly recommend this place if you want quality subs. I know I'll be back there again very, very SOON! read more

Disappointing. I ordered the Pete something panini. It was toast with pickled eggplant slices of tomato, one slice of mozzarella cheese. Asked for the prosciutto on the side so I could share with a vegetarian friend, which they did, but it was not prosciutto. It was salami. Don't waste your time, go to Chris's. read more

Driven by this place many a times, but today was the day I decided to try it. Besides the old school vibes inside, the food was amazing.
