Gosh I love this place!!! Every week we order or Friday sandwich delivery from here for lunch. Chicken salad, meatball sub, Italian. All are outstanding. I've also enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches. On Saturday my favorite thing to do is get their meatball sub special. So good! Love this neighborhood spot. read more

The best sandwiches I have ever had. I used to go 35 years ago and I forgot all about this hidden gem. I started working in Watertown and looked it up and ordered and now I'm hooked. They pile on the meat and you get to pick your toppings. I have had 4 different sandwich and i'm OBSESSED with them I'm going to start getting my deli from them because their meat is soo fresh. BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!! read more

You get 5 stars from this gal - they've been around forever. Nice guys that work there. I like the ice tea drinks in the summer. Best darn ICE coffee in Watertown - BEST! Only thing - I think back in the day...there were stools in front of the window and the older guys would gather and have their coffee. Maybe my memory is not clear. But it'd be nice to have those stools back. It builds community. Gives the retirees of Watertown a place to stop for a few minutes and say hi to a friend. read more

Joe's has always been our 'go-to' for the best sandwiches in the area. They slice the ham turkey roast beef or cheese to order & everything is fresh & well made. They recently added specialty sandwiches like a turkey club. You can also order pies for different holidays read more

Great subs! Get the meatball sub on Saturdays... Great deal for $4. They do a great Italian and love the turkey as well

Joe's Subs evokes a sense of nostalgia for my hometown's beloved pizza shop, while also exuding the charm of Boston's suburbs. Their ingredients from bread to cold cut are fresh, and their meatball sub is precisely what you would imagine it to be in terms of taste and flavor profile. Joe's Subs cultivates an appreciation for the beauty of simplicity, earning its place as a new staple in my book. This shop puts meaning to "I have a place". Great price and fast service too. Love that Joe's is a building block of the Watertown community, helping locals explore their fondest memories of when penny candy was in fact actually just a penny. read more

The best tuna sandwich in the world. On a bulkie roll with tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, onions, and hots. The tuna is really good-not tinny or too much mayo. And they cut the veggies so you can eat the sandwich without it falling apart. We love Joe's-great go-to spot for sandwiches. Glad they take credit card now too. Also Joe's rescued our school fundraiser this past fall. They were so nice and helped make that a real success. read more

It is unfortunate that I will never try their food. It looked delicious and is a well-established small business. But, I observed a disrespectful interaction and cannot give money here. read more

Went at 4:30 on Sunday. They close at 5. We were told they were out of rolls but could do wraps. We were going to just get wraps but were then told the cold cut slicer was already taken apart. If you are going to say you close at 5, why take the slicer apart at 4:30? We won't be back read more

If you get lucky, you'll get some one who washed there hands some where around 1982. So if your particular about the cleanliness of the hands making your subs, you may want to skip Joe's. However, if you can look the other way when some one uses the cash register and then makes your sandwich ungloved, you will be heavily rewarded! Joe's is famous with anyone who has spent some time in Watertown. It is just a small sub shop that is extremely popular with city workers, firemen, and police officers....which means it is really good, and really cheap! They make no-nonsense, fresh and delicious subs on either a bulky or sub roll. They cut the meat and cheese as you order. You will definitely run into a line during the lunch rush, but it moves fast. Cheap- think large meatball grinder for under $5. In summation, if I only take a 1 star deduction for the lack of hand washing, you know these are damn good subs! read more

Our favorite place to get sandwiches! They're always so friendly and the sandwiches are amazing. Especially the Turkey club! Our go to for lunch @ work! read more

I moved to the area about a year ago and yet it wasn't only until recently that I decided to go into Joe's- even though every time I saw it the parking lot was full, which usually signals something good. Well I went in for a ham, egg, and cheese on a bagel and coffee. Let me tell you, it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had and it was completely fairly priced. I do have to say, coming from a coffee snob, their cup of joe is pretty good too! With generous portions, a caring and hard working staff, and great food, you can't go wrong with Joe's! read more

The times that I have been able to go here they are pretty solid, but more than once lately they just close whenever it suits them. Supposedly open until 7, my wife went to Joe's to find them already closed (open until 7?). So, if they're open it's a good spot but too often they just close without notice. This isn't the first time we've seen this but never an hour before closing. read more

These subs are awesome! I got the Roast Beef and it was really tasty. The meat and bread are tender and fresh, the service is friendly, and the price is great - a sub (I'd guess close to 1 foot long) is about $7. It's plenty of food and the remainder (if there's any remainder) can easily be eaten hours later even with the hot pepper mix it doesn't make the bread terribly soggy. They remind me of the subs we would eat while going up in rural Pennslyvania. I'll definitely be back. Tip - Cash only although there is an ATM on site. read more

Best place in the area for cold cuts or good old submarine sandwiches. Best roast beef we have ever had. Prices are very fair. You know it's always fresh because they sell a lot of cold cuts. Good daily specials too. read more

Cheap. Fast. Tasty. That just about sums up Joe's. While this is not gourmet food it is satisfying to anyone who needs lunch in a hurry and doesn't have a lot to spend. No exotic subs served here - this is a pretty basic, standard local place. Looking for fine dining? Look elsewhere. Need food, and want to feel at home? Try Joe's. read more

Good packed to the hilt good ole fashioned submarine sandwiches. Rich thick meats and fresh cheeses and sauce. This place been around a long time and will be here for many more to come. Try their coffee. Fresh. Cheap. Strong. Works well for an afternoon boost when one is needed. Joe is the best read more

Been going to JOE'S since 1975 when they actually had penny candy for a penny. I lived about 4 houses away. Best roast beef and cold cut subs and platters around. read more

Great deli selection and best sandwiches around! Love the new renovations and new additions to the store as well. The new slush machine is great for the summer weather and I love the special drinks (raspberry lime Rickey's are my thing). So when you plan your next beach day or any special event Joes is the place to go. (The sandwich platters are amazing). read more

Best deli in town!! Roast beef is amazing. Cheap prices on everything. Great tuna salad. Always great service!

Joe's Variety and Deli has very good sandwiches and subs. I particularly like their roast beef on a bulkie with Muenster cheese and brown mustard. When they ask about lettuce and tomato, I say "if I wanted a salad, I'd have ordered that, too". They will put whatever you want on it. They also have a very good meatball sub. I haven't' tried their Italian sub yet, but I am looking forward to it. read more

Been going to joes since I was 5 years old. They used to have the best penny candy corner. True local family run joint. Good stuff.

Joe's easily has the best cold cuts on this side of the Charles River. The Roast Beef sandwiches are absolutely amazing. I also recommend their Italian Sub with everything. If you're not in the mood for a sandwich than you'll have to try their chicken salad. These can be ordered to-go and are excellent on their on or as a spread. Don't miss out on Joe's Variety. One of the best delicatessens. read more

I've been getting a sub from Joe's for lunch for years and I will continue to. Meat and everything is always fresh and sliced right there (it is a deli..) Subs/bulkies are good value and size, fresh doughnuts in the AM too. Also lottery, cigarettes and old townie men. Gloves and hand cleanlyness are not gaurenteed here though, but no ones gotten sick that ive heard of, so suck it up. read more

Joe's Variety is a staple of West Watertown. It's best known for its cold cuts and subs, but it does have a wide variety and other products

You don't have to be a townie to enjoy probably the "BEST" Roast Beef sub in Middlesex County. Their cold cut platters will help make sure your Super Bowl or World Series parties are a hit. A definite must if you're in the area. Watertown Strong at its finest... read more

Joe's is a great place if you are looking for a simple sandwich or sub without frilly names. The bread is fresh and the deli meat was great. When you need a place to grab a quick lunch, I recommend Joe's. Plus they have the little milks you got when you were in grade school. read more

Love this place not living in Watertown anymore stinks but I always stop in when I'm in town :)

Who doesn't love to have a freshly slices roast beef sub with mayo that is the best around. Small place but always busy with customers around lunch, but is fast with getting everyone's orders done. read more
