Unbelievable gem in downtown ! The sandwiches are somehow light and refreshing while also deeply satisfying. All the ingredients are fresh and that house made bread is just so comforting. The vibe is laidback, cozy and calm. If you are in town - don't miss out !!! read more

Excellent sub sandwich. Highly recommend. Good service. They have whiskey tastings in afternoon. read more

Enjoyed a godfather sandwich. Yes, it is worth the hype and expense. I wish I would have gone back for another. Next trip!

My son loved it but I thought it was just ok. It's a soft bread, doughy. Pricey but everything in Boothbay is pricey.

The food was phenomenal! Texture and flavors were on point, even for some of my family members who are not sub fans. We got the godfather, marcel's and tuna. Superb service. We went late and they made us subs anyway. Very cosy inside (log cabin vibes). read more

Awesome subs. We popped in for a sandwich on a hot afternoon and were pleasantly surprised at just how good they were even with the good reviews I was blown away. The harvest turkey was excellent. Fresh bread and ingredients handmade in front of you. Seeing the locals eating there, I knew it was legit. We actually spotted the worker/owner at the local bar later that day. Very nice guy. Highly recommend! read more

Not only is this some of the best bread that I've ever had in my life, but having a whiskey bar in the back is perhaps the most genius idea I've ever heard of! Great cocktails, great sandwiches, great atmosphere. read more

The godfather is great! Really enjoyed the bread and open style of the sandwich. All details, emphasized, including wrapping in butcher paper and tied off with a string. Classic! Prices extremely reasonable considering everything else in town . read more

Best lobster roll ever! Amazing roll stuffed with big chunks of lobster. Fast, service was great

I wanted to like these guys and food. The Godfather. Mustard is on here, plus iceberg lettuce. Neither of these are authentic on an Italian sub. Next the bread. I expected a firm, crunchy, crusty sub roll. I got a skinny tube of extremely soft bread that was so small, the sandwich could not be closed so I had to eat it like an open-faced sandwich. It has the consistency of a hotdog bun. They try, but this was a one and done for me dawg. The sandwich was $13. read more

What a surprise! Great place. Went in for a sub sandwich and discovered a wonderful whiskey bar with a view of boothbay harbor. The roast beef sandwich was delicious as was the Greek salad. The drinks were perfect. Emily made an excellent manhattan and we also drank a local beer. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Marcel, who was busy making sure all the guests were well taken care of. I returned the following day for another manhattan and to try their lobster roll. I was not disappointed, it was tasty and full of tender lobster. I highly recommend Marcel's read more

Love this place for subs and marcel is such a great guy!! Freshest bread and topping I've had!! Wish I would have got pics the last time I was there but the food was so good I forgot to take them...lol Will definitely update with those next time!! read more

I cannot say enough about this place. We rolled in on a frigid winter Friday and spent an afternoon enjoying Emily's custom whiskey cocktails. Great atmosphere, views of the harbor, food and beverages. Our subs were thoughtfully tied with string for easy take home leftovers. Emily you're a very talented mixologist. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and highlight of our time in Maine. read more

Best sandwiches in town. Fully loaded with meat and vegetables and always with great fresh taste. Cant miss going here.

The sub sandwiches here are probably the best I've ever had. They are so fresh and delicious, the tomatoes taste like they were just picked off the vine, and the dressing is just the right blend of spices. The bread was extremely fresh and delicious . It would've been nice if they had music playing softly as it was extremely quiet, the service was excellent, but not overly friendly. read more

Never had a sandwich made with this "open face" style. I loved it. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors complimented each other graciously. Go for it when in Boothbay! read more

It says sub shop on the. Outside, but there is a great whisky bar in the back. I don't know how many times I've passed this place and barely have given it a second glance. But the other week there was a board outside saying "Whisky Bar". So I went in and was amazed that this hole-in-the-wall place has over 300 whiskies, scotch's, bourbons. It is a passion of the shop's owner Marcel and his very able manager/bartender Emily. read more

Delicious sandwiches!! Great service. Our group had the Godfather, the Harvest turkey and the gym shoe. Each delicious with high quality ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was so good - we ate every bit of our meal. And the place smells so good - smoky, salty, like an Italian delicatessen!

I'm eating the Harvest Turkey on bread that was pulled from the oven ten minutes ago. Pillowy soft with perfect flavor and freshness. I come here every year when I visit from AZ, my favorite sandwiches! read more

Okay so you won't think about it when you walk by... but you should. They make the bread fresh daily and when they run out subs are done for the day. Had a standard ham, standard Turkey, Harvey Turkey, and the gym shoe. They were all amazing. The most unexpected part is the whiskey bar in the back. Over 300 differ whiskeys to try. Flights of any four available. And Emily makes her own cocktails and special "clarified milk punch!" Don't know what that is? Ask her. It's a great story and an even better drink. read more

Spectacular sub sandwich. I'm a little sensitive on salt so I went without pickles but I had the great Double Down sub and it was simply fantastic. It had the most thin sliced red onions I have ever seen and they were perfect at laying on the taste. This was definitely a special place with wonderful seating and super reasonable pricing too. Don't miss it, I know Rebecca and I will be back. read more

Stumbled upon this place at lunch. It is one block up from the main shopping drag so we would have missed it if we hadn't ventured onto Townsend Ave. LOVED this place. I ordered the lobster roll and my husband ordered another sandwich (can't remember which). It wasn't the biggest but it was the BEST lobster roll I ever had and I've had plenty! What made it special was the lack of a ton of mayo and lots of great lobster, and an excellent, house-baked sub roll - not the usual grilled hot dog bun. We both still talk about that bread and the owner's involvement in making the sandwiches. To top it all off, there is a bar in the back overlooking the water that make this such a special, low-key place that I can't wait to visit again. read more

Love the fresh bread! If you've only had a sub from a chain...you need to see what a true north east sub tastes like! Excellent service and plenty of drink choices! read more

Unexpected. So, yeah, there is a Yummy sandwich shop in front. You are unlikely to be disappointed. But, but, in the rear is a whiskey bar that rivals any in one of the big three metropolis! Marcel and Emily know their distilled collection well, and enjoy sharing their knowledge if you sit in one of their barstools. read more

Didn't try the food but there is an excellent bar in the back. Many fine whiskey/bourbons. This is the walnut Manhattan, which has such cozy holiday vibes. Such great feels at this bar, great customer service, clean and nice place to relax with amazing drinks. Hubby had the self kelp read more

Best. Sandwich. Ever. Perfect place for our extended family to hunker down and get lunch during a rainy day! They make their own bread, and it is SO soft and delicious. The bar in the back had a massive selection of whiskey and scotch for the boys to check out. read more

Great COVID spot to grab a sandwich or a salad from the door and either go or sit outside on the benches. Portions are generous, service is nice - he steps right outside the door with your stuff. Highly recommended. read more

Had a chance to visit this past Summer and it was amazing. The family and I went back again later in the week as it was so good the first time. Also had a chance to speak with the owner. A great guy who cares about his business and the community. We will be back! read more

Excellent sub sandwich. Very Fresh bread and ingredients. Highly recommend. 3 and 4 year olds loved it too. Staff very friendly. We had 6 adults and 3 kids with us. Sandwiches came out very very fast. Anything from basic sub to very cool flavor combinations. We will be coming back multiple times during our vacation I'm sure. I should have taken a picture of our subs but they disappeared too fast. read more

Delicious sandwiches, wraps and drinks. Local iconic lunch place. It's a local staple.

We stopped in Boothbay Harbor on our drive back to Portland and grabbed lunch at Marcel's. The smells inside the shop were amazing (can't beat fresh bread!) and everyone's sub was delicious. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend! read more

Tried Marcels since the rating were good...but it is just an overpriced sub shop. Sandwich was okay but nothing great. Service was horrible and the portly guy with white hair was quite a jerk. read more

Amazing drinks and food! We had the old fashioned and the whiskey sour. Highly recommend. The homemade bread is perfect!

Perfect subs on a soft, house made grinder roll. Big enough to share, good enough you don't want to. And the price is right in this largely overpriced tourist area. The whiskey bar in the back was very well stocked, but it was only lunchtime ... read more

Was told this was the place to get a sub, boy was that wrong. We ordered (2) pit stops and a lobster sub. Was told there was no bacon or roast beef left, understandable. Asked to replace bacon with ham, they confirmed "Ham, lettuce, tomato & mayo." Asked for one with no tomato and one with no mayo to go. Lobster sub is half as long as the regular subs, only saving grace as it was good. The other two turned into standard ham with cheese, one labeled no tomato and other no onion. Both were made wrong and one person in our party can't eat cheese. Do not recommend. read more
