I have been going there for years and I have tried my best to be friendly with the staff but I will no longer go there because I have no desire to deal with the incredibly Overtly rude for no reason staff. The food is passable but nothing that gives the employees the right to treat customers as if they were insubordinate or unreasonable if they ask for something as simple as a fork or where an item is in the store. It's a shame because it is so local to me but I refuse to accept blunt and cynical rudeness when I am nothing but pleasant to the workers. (Drops mic) read more

Best sandwiches ever! Fresh boars head meats and awesome rolls! Great place to stop for groceries and fruit! will definitely be back! :)

Sandwiches are usually pretty good. Their salad bar is sketchy. Some of the items are fresh and some look a few days old. Their breakfast on the weekends is not the best. read more

Excellent sandwiches and extremely fresh salad bar. I had a great experience here today the staff was welcoming and attentive to my food allergies. I left with a delicious turkey wrap and look forward to going back! read more

i don't often head out for lunch (i'm a brown bagger), but lately when i do, it's to the fruit basket. i'm convinced that a good sandwich is the perfect meal. think about it - meat, veggies, grains, roughage, and dairy all wrapped up in one convenient, stuff-in-your-mouth sized package. mignosa's makes a very fine sandwich. they take a few basic ingredients, fresh sliced boar's head deli meats, and a variety of bread-based delivery systems to offer a very wide variety of sandwiches, wraps and paninis, made fresh to order, and a massive salad bar. while bigger isn't always better, it usually is, and unless you're packing a monstrous appetite, these sandwiches will fill you up. for about $6 - $8 you're going to get damn near a half-pound of meat plus whatever else you throw on there. don't go if you're in a hurry or have the attention span of a fly, though. getting your lunch made fresh to order takes a few minutes. they've got a couple of tables inside and few more out front on nice days if you want to hang out to eat. mignosa's also has a small selection of fruits, veggies, and basic grocery items and an impressively large selection of bag-your-own candy. ahh, buying gummy worms by the pound really takes me back. they also have their own salsas and salad dressings back by the deli. read more

One of the best places to get a sub/sandwich/ salad you name it! Deli meat cut fresh to order and the salad bar is awesome! Staff is great as well. Definitely a gem in Quincy! read more

this is my first impression of the place. Tried to have lunch there last week. Went inside and they had Rotisserie Chicken for $5.99. It looked good so I went to the counter to order it and they told me to sit and wait. No problem so far. as patrons came in and ordered their sandwiches, I was put on the backburner. How long do you wait until you feel like you are being ignored? I waited 10 minutes and asked how they were coming along. They said they were too busy and asked me to come back later? WOW. NOTE TO OWNER. THE FAT WOMEN WHO RUNS THE CASH REGISTER IS RUDE AND SHOULD BE FIRED. I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO ODER A SANDWICH BUT THEY MADE ME WAIT AND THEN BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY CANT SERVE ME. read more

This place makes the fattest sandwiches you could ever sink your teeth into! The Turkey Gobbler is delicious and their soups are divine. The school where I work orders lunch every Friday from The Fruit Basket. They employees even sent us a lovely Italian cookie basket to say "Thanks" over the holidays. Yum! They also carry Italian specialty items which are sometimes hard to find. read more

Awesome sandwiches (stacked w/deli meat) and salad bar. Wouldn't really go there for anything else. So yummy read more

Mignosa's Fruit Basket - California turkey on spinach wrap no bacon - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Reading the other reviews I was expecting an authentic italian style deli/speciality store. It is not. The majority of the produce was overly ripe/ bad. Their speciality foods and cold cuts were generic. I was hoping for better. read more

Went in here the other day with some friends and there was a new employee working behind the deli counter. As usual, I ordered the Roast Beef sandwich on a bulkie with lettuce, mayo and cheese. The new employee who is probably not yet schooled in the ways of the fruit basket, came back with a very small amount of meat for sandwich. The guy with the grey mustache (owner I assume) witnessed this and told the new employee to add more meat to my sandwich. When the employee came back, apparently there was still not enough meat and the owner said to the new employee, "No, you need to add even more meat. This is the Fruit Basket, if he wanted just a regular Roast Beef sandwich he'd go some place else." That is why this place is getting five stars. They make high-quality custom made sandwiches at their deli, and their employees are trained to give large quantities of food to the customer. After this interaction I said to my self, "self, I'm really happy that there is this good of a sandwich place right near my condo in Quincy. Keep up the good work Fruit Basket! read more

Great service ! Great sandwiches... Eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner because they are huge!

If you are looking for the best salad bar in Quincy this is the place to check out!

The Fruit Basket is hands down the best place in Quincy to get yourself a delicious sandwich. Their choices of various breads and Boar's Head deli meats is outstanding. The sandwiches are loaded with meat and the service and cleanliness of their deli is what keeps me coming back 4-5 times a week. They have various subs, wraps, paninis, and I always get myself a soup or salad or fruit from their robust soup/salad/fruit bars to go with my sandwich. Has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone getting colds, hep C, sepsis, Ebola, etc from eating a sandwich? I sure haven't... I've been a Fruit Basket customer for 15 years and have never seen or heard of a place that does it better! read more

This review is for the deli. The produce here is very much hit-or-miss, so don't pick blindly. Now, the deli. I wish there were more places like this still around. It's not the pizza-and-subs place that you can find on every corner in Quincy (or any other reasonably populated city). It's a real-deal mom-and-pop owner and operated Italian deli. They have plenty of menu options, but you can order any custom sandwich you'd like. Just pick your bread from the bread box and tell them what you want. The woman behind the counter is pleasant and will get to know your name once you become a lunchtime regular. My sandwich of choice is a classic, the Italian. It's got so much meat and toppings that it could easily be lunch for two. I've had a few others that are good, and all the friends I've brought here have been pleased. Certainly a good place to have in the neighborhood. read more

Best sandwich in Quincy. Tons to choose for both the rolls and the ingredients. They also have a great salad station and ice cream.

Went to Fruit Basket for the first time today, after living a mile away for 3 years. I'm glad I finally ventured in. I got a salad and some fruit for lunch and took a look around. Not a huge produce section, but the prices are comparable or better than the Shaw's next door and the Stop n' Shop up the street, and on top of it, you are supporting a local business. I'll be doing all of my produce shopping here from now on! read more

Extremely disappointed with the service of the staff. Went in Sunday afternoon to get a sandwich with my wife. We both ordered paninis. After ordering, two crews from the firehouse came and ordered 9 - 10 sandwiches. After that two other gentlemen ordered food. All of those people got their sandwiches while we continued to wait for ours. The service was incredibly slow only to us for some reason, everybody else got their food in a timely fashion. As we waited for our sandwiches, we also ordered a pound of eggplant parm. For some reason the staffer couldn't multi-task and get a container and scoop the eggplant parm while the sandwich was on the grill. He stood at the panini press and waited one minute before taking it off the grill and then got the eggplant parm, which was only four feet away. We waited approximately 15 minutes to get the eggplant parm and two paninis, one of which was still cold when we came home. We had to microwave it to actually heat up the chicken breast. They make good sandwiches but move so slow it is insulting as a customer. read more

This place is dirty and food is wrapped from the salad bar and put back out time after time. Read other reviews one refers to the salad bar as " sketchy"You basically need an ice pick to get through the top layer. The owner is also rude ( guy with the mustache). If he has more than two people in line he freaks out and gets rude to customers for a simple question. If the place was doing even ok he wouldn't have to work there. Go to the Fruit Center owned by his family. read more

Very simple to say. Great food, great family, a staple in Quincy! The sandwiches are more than generous as well as the people that run the place! read more

I specifically came here to try their salad bar. It does have a variety; but I was bummed that they don't serve real bacon bits. Baco Bacon Bits just don't cut it for me. I was also bummed that they didn't have the Thousand Island dressing. If you're not as fussy as I am; this bar can suit your palette. read more

I had to go to the supermarket the other day to pick up some basic stuff I needed for dinner. Shaw's is near my gym, so I headed over there around 7, dreading the crowds, checkout lines... I stopped in this place instead, got some good french bread that you CANT get at S&S or Shaws, a block of cheddar cheese, some grapes, lettuce, milk.....everything I needed. No checkout line. I'm a fan. read more

I just recently started working in Quincy and was looking for a spot to get lunch. Coworkers recommended Mignosa's and I haven't been dissapointed! The salad bar is HUGE and super fresh. Salad bars usually skeeve me out knowing everything is sitting out there etc, but you can tell they really take the time to make sure everything is fresh. The sandwiches are awesome too. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and it was stuffed to the brim and delicious. If you go hungry you'll walk out with something from their trail mix/ candy bar as well (like I ALWAYS do). My one complaint is they're not the friendliest at the deli portion, but other than that, I'd recommend! read more

If you get a sandwich here and don't want super thick slices of meat/cheese, you need to say so. They work hard to get the sandwiches out as fast as possible so they seem to always have the deli slicer set on the "ham steak" thickness setting. read more

I love this place. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a week. The subs are to die for. For around $7 you get a sub on a fresh roll stuffed with sliced to order Boar's head deli meet. They also have a HUGE fresh salad bar. The owners and the rest of the staff are very nice and will make your sub how ever you want. There are about 4 tables to dine in and in the summer time they have a few tables outside. You cannot beat the quality or the prices. We have had a bad expirience. If you want a fresh loaded sub come here and skip Subway. read more

Great salad bar, deli counter that makes great sandwiches and paninis and everything in between. Hands down the best pastrami I've ever had. Get it quick because they sell out of it before 2 everyday!!!! read more

Nice people. Never have problem with just going in there ask what you want they take care of you. Cashier lady very nice there sandwich is to die for. +) read more

I love the Fruit Basket, I work in Quincy so when a fellow co-worker was raving about this place, I had to check it out. The salad bar is huge, and everything is fresh. I love their Italian wedding soup, paninis and chicken salad. It does get busy around lunch time as expected so and the service for sandwiches is kind of slow but worth the wait and the prices are reasonable...especially for Boar's Head Meat. read more

The Fruit Basket is the place to go if you want a fresh cut in front of you deli sandwich for dirt cheap! Their sandwiches are huge and are out of this world. They really are a hidden wonder for lunch. All the people that work there are so friendly! definitely a family run business where they take pride in the quality of their food! read more

So I had the opportunity to visit Mignosa fruit basket for first time tonight. Was very hungry and wanted a nice sangy which I heard they were known for. Was surprised to see they had a hot roast beef sangy so I asked the bearded young man behind the counter for 1 which he made promptly. When I got home and sat down and opened it up noticed how much of a portion they gave which is a A+ start to this sangy. I want to let all you people who pass the fruit basket everyday they make one of the best hot roast beef sandwiches on south shore (I very rare sandwich on south shore) and I recommend going there and getting because it was a damn good sandwich. When the bearded young man rung me up at register he told me he was still a rookie to the hot roast beef world and really trying to master his skills, then politely said I hope you enjoy it. Well kid if you just started im gonna give you a rookie of the year cause that was a 4 star sandwich. Oh yeah there Mac and cheese pasta salad was unreal too, so thx Mignosa's for turning me into a new frequent flyer to your store...... read more

We had the Fruit Basket cater our Christmas for the past two years! Their food is amazing and their customer service is top notch! Thank you for making our holiday amazing! read more

Great mom and pop place! Best spot to get a sandwich in town. I highly recommend it. It's been there for as long as I can remember to. It's almost like a not so hidden gem. read more

This place is a market/deli. They have a great deli with the best Boars Head meats and fresh baked rolls you choose before ordering. The meat portions are large, (used to be huge but they cut back slightly). I recommend their turkey gobbler. They also have a fruit bar, a taco bar, soup bar, and a huge salad bar with anything you could possibly want to put on a large salad. Fresh great good, nice enough people working there, just don't ask for change for a $20. Be prepared to wait at the deli counter as it gets busy at lunch, but its worth it. read more

Fruit basket is an amazing place to stop and grab a bite to eat. It has the best salad and sandwiches you will ever come across. The coworkers are extremely nice and always exceeds expectations. I don't blame them if they have their off days here and there because everyone does. I have never encountered a rude or "blunt" worker in the 3 years I've been going to fruit basket. I will continue to shop there. #GreatPlace read more
