    My wife used to be a John Smith Subs employee way back in the day! Once we moved down to Florida, it was inevitable that we'd be checking this branch out sooner or later. Last week we finally made it in. But it wasn't all that great I'm sorry to say. I love a divey sub spot as much as anyone, but I didn't really get the four or five star vibes here. For our order we got an Italian steak sandwich, a grilled chicken salad and an order of fries. The sandwich was really disappointing. The meat was very off putting. It was way too thick and chewy. Definitely needed to be chopped a bit more, but overall the meat didn't seem to be good quality. I also didn't love the roll, which didn't take like real bread to me. It tasted like a generic supermarket cellophane wrapped roll. Mushy and fake. The salad felt like something you'd get in a high school cafeteria. Basic veg, basic chicken, just completely uninspired. Also, the jalapeños were mush. Really gross. The fries were pretty decent, but I disagree with the claim that they're something amazing. They were just OK. Overall two stars. My wife's nostalgia didn't save the day. This place is definitely below average and not worth a visit.

    The fries are still one of the best around as well as the tuna made with Hellman's . Restaurant is cleaner now and seems they're remodeling to electronic menus

    So we glad stumbled upon this. Everything was 10/10: the food, the music, the bread, the service, the vibes, and the drinks. I'd give anything for one closer to us in FLL.

    Amazing Sub place! The best service and sandwiches around town! I had steak , mushrooms and provolone! Jamie added a little Mayo! so BOMB! My husband got the Philly so good! Fries were perfectly cooked! The cook Lou makes a great sub! I definitely am going back! Jamie and all the staff were fantastic! Service with care of food and a smile

    Slow day so far

    So, Ive come here many times, but have never been compelled to write an actual review. With that being said, Jon Smiths is like no other sub shop, its a revved up, fresh quality, kind small chain. The steak is always hand cut sirloin and the other meats like chicken and even the Tuna is always fresh. The ladies at the counter are always super friendly and everyone works so hard here to make sure everyday is a great experience for their guests. The steak and cheese with onions is a classic and I love getting it. You have the option of adding mayo and its delicious. The steak is juicy and you can tell its marinated fresh daily. Prices are reasonable, a large will cost you around $10 before tax and it fills you up. I love the fries, the oil is changed very often so Ive never had a batch that tasted like old oil. The seating they have is not social distanced but the people that did come in while we were eating were smart enough to sit with space in-between them. Thank you for yet another quick and yummy lunch. (:

    Softest  bread  ever

    This place continues to amaze me. How do they stay so unchanged, yet so good? Walking in, it's like going back in time to the 1990s. The wood paneling, the neon, the logo in need of a refresh, the simple decorations... At first, you'd think these are things that could hurt the brand. But no, they MAKE the brand. Simply put, the food here is out of this world. I usually get the Chicken Bomb or Steak Bomb. Both are unreal. The bread is soft, the meat is tender, the cheese is...cheesy. And oh, don't get me started about the fries. When I saw the sign on the window saying they were voted better than McDonald's fries, I snickered. But then when I tried them, I instantly realized how true that is. They really ARE better than any other fries I've had (except maybe Shake Shack's fries). All in all, I hope this place never changes. They represent a simpler time, before all the big chains took over. They know what they're good at, and therefore live by the motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    Steak bomb no tomatoes extra mushrooms and bacon! Amazing!!

    The steak was pretty good. However, the fries were soft and soggy. This restaurant needs to fix the A/C. It was very hot.

    Finally stopped in for lunch. Have been recommended V&S by so many people in the last couple of…read moreyears. Unfortunately, their power was having issues so only cold subs were available. Despite the lack of a/c and rough conditions they were in, the staff were super friendly behind the counter. My husband and I orders some delicious subs on fresh sesame seed bread. They're super generous filling up their subs and the ingredients are fresh and top notch. As a pescatarian, my options are more limited, but my caprese sandwich was fabulous. We also ordered a cannoli which they hand fill. It was the best cannoli I have had in South Florida and tasted like the ones I used to enjoy from the North End in Boston. Finally a great cannoli! Due to the power issue, it was a little dark inside. However, this is a true, lived in authentic Italian deli. Again, if you're from up North, you will feel like you are at home here. V&S is the real deal, and very much worthy of all the rave reviews people have shared with me.

    Sounds crazy to say this one of the best Italian subs and it's in Boca Raton, FL…read more Anyways this place is the real deal! V & S Italian Deli is an authentic Italian deli. It transports you to an Italian NY deli. The place is packed, bustling spot and that alone tells you everything you need to know. You know it's good when you walk in and the place is packed. We split the Chicken Cutlet Florentine and it was absolutely incredible. Heads up: the full size is massive, so splitting it is definitely the move and still totally worth it!! The service was super friendly despite how busy it was. I had my eye on the black & white cookie too because what's an authentic Italian deli without one? Sounds like my next visit to Boca includes trying more stuff!

They have a rightful cult-following! I live 5 minutes away... I ordered for pickup to celebrate after leaving my dental appointment. I went with their cup of Matzo Ball soup and the iconic Pastrami sandwich on rye bread with Russian dressing, a side of Cole slaw, and a juicy dill pickle. This was all pure comfort food! ...from the seasoned matzo ball soup mixed together in a clear broth alongside selected vegetables... This brings back treasured flashbacks of grandma's cooking! The Pastrami sandwich on rye is juicy, tender, and flavorful with the Russian dressing and the side of cole slaw. This truly is a symphony of delicious flavors that bring me back to the delis in Philadelphia and New York City. The dill pickle brings cherished memories of Rascal House. I can't think of any other deli down in SoFlo that comes close! I've sampled many and there's no comparison. I'm going to be a new regular that's breaking away from my familiar spot. This will be a stellar breakfast spot. I also want to sample the Reuben and tongue sandwich! See you around :-)

    We came for lunch. It was a cool for Florida day and I was in the mood for soup…read more The restaurant is not large. It wasn't very busy while we were there. I think there were more folks doing takeout than dining in. We asked -- as it wasn't on the menu -- but they do offer a half sandwich and soup option. Your choices of soup are noodle, or matzah ball, or soup of the day. And you can choose any of the deli meat sandwiches. I had their matzah ball soup with a half pastrami sandwich. He had the chicken noodle with a half corned beef. The sandwiches come with a pickle slice and coleslaw. The matzah ball was light and fluffy. The soup base was flavorful. The pastrami was a bit fatty and grisly so I had to deconstruct it. The rye was soft in the center and got a tad soggy from the meat, but had a nice outer edge crust. I think I'd get the corned beef instead in the future. I gave my well marinated pickle to my husband -- I'm a half sour gal myself. But I liked the slightly sweet coleslaw. I'm glad we came to try them. Now we know.

Laspada had a lit up sign in the window saying they're "open." I seem to recall Next Door Boca giving them decent reviews. I am a native of Philly, hometown of the hoagie. I thought I'd give this place a try. I ran from my car through the rain and tugged on the door....locked. The door hours say open at 11! So much for the lit "open" sign. They have outdoor metal tables and chairs under an awning. I sat at an outdoor table for ten minutes. I looked through the storefront window at a couple employees prepping and I read the wall menu. A guy unlocked the place at 11. I let a young family and several other guys go ahead of me. Guy at the slicing wheel waited on me. I ordered a small Mama Lastrada turkey & salami on wheat. There's about a half dozen employees behind the counter dealing with the assembly line of customers and sandwiches. Guy at the slicing wheel tells me one of the other guys will work on my sandwich. Okay. However, I can't move down the line because there's customers still lined up ahead of me waiting for their food. Slicing wheel guy looks up at me a minute later and asks what he can get for me. I look back at him waiting for him to recognize me from a minute ago when he already had sliced my order. No recognition! I repeated my order to him. Now he remembers me! He again refers me to one of his junior sandwich prep guys. I overheard him telling a busy junior guy, "This is just a small Mama on wheat" or something like that. Still, I can't go down the line because there's guy ahead of me had placed an order for 3 sandwiches. I swear to you that the slicing wheel guy asks me for a THIRD time for my order! By this time, I felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch. I repeated my order. Again, he refers me to a third junior associate (Manny, Moe, and Jack)? Finally, a young associate asked me for toppings. I had noticed two lettuce bins. One bin looked fine. The other looked a little brown. I decided to skip the lettuce rather than ask him to pick from the left hand bin and embarrass them. I also saw a black speck in the onion bin. It probably was nothing but I decided to skip onions just to be safe. I chose tomatoes, Swiss cheese, pickles and sweet peppers. The debit card reader asks if I want to tip. I skipped that. Price was reasonable. Hoagie was okay. The roll was soggy. Philly hoagie shops pride themselves on their rolls. I understand this is Florida, not Philly. I can appreciate this place is popular and busy. However, being asked for my order 3 times by the same experienced worker there left me feeling less than special as a customer.
