    Italian sub
    Liz K.

    In a word, COME! There's a reason this sandwich shop has been here for so many decades. It isn't much to look at on the inside and it's really small but you don't come here for the atmosphere, you came for the sandwiches. The Italian sub was over the top loaded. The ladies are hard working and put out sandwich after sandwich in their home style wide open kitchen. Locals and visitors alike come for these delicious goodies. Don't be discouraged by the line, it moves fast. Also, no fountain drinks and french fries, you're here for the sandwich. Eat up and enjoy!

I had the deluxe all the way with was amazing. The bread was soft and adequate the sandwiches some of the best we have had. I give my sandwich a 9.2 this is a must try place. We will be back to try more of the menu.

    First off, I should have wayyyy more photos for this review, but the food was so absolutely phenomenal that I only took some the 2nd time there! We travel a lot and are foodies for sure but can you believe that this place has been literally up the street from our house?! Our 15 year old son goes here for lunch with his boss and had mentioned it a few times but you think oh man another sandwich shop.. thanks son.. lol well we FINALLY got around to trying this cute little shop out because we were getting our tires done, directly across the street and needed lunch! My hubs said that I needed an attitude adjustment lol so he said we are eating at PJs!! It was almost close time so we hurried on over there! This place is small but mighty! They have all the ladies hard at work and the service was exceptional! It's everything you want every place you eat at, to feel like! They get their bread from a local bakery, which is chefs kiss to any of their sandwiches! The cuban sandwich is well proportionated and full of flavor! The Italian sandwich has the freshest veggies and meat! The bread makes those sandwiches superior to most! They make all of their sides so um, yes please!!! I don't even eat or like eggs but the macaroni salad is incredible. Its so simple yet tastes like it came from a southern kitchen! The tea is perfectly sweet too! The winner and they are all winners BUT the house made banana pudding is absolutely hands down the best Ive ever had! They don't use the box pudding!!! Glory! I make everything from scratch in my home, and at the moment I am making some rustic artisan bread so I say that because if im taking a day off from cooking, Im going to PJs, period! I absolutely recommend this sandwich shop and everything they serve! You will thank me later! Enjoy!

    Deluxe sub. And this is only half!!

    About what you would expect from a small mom & pop. Staff was friendly, not a lot of seating, and good sandwiches.

    This is, by far, the best place for a chef salad. Every time the ingredients are fresh and appealing. Friendly staff and service is quick.

    Great sandwich shop, they never disappoint. Small shop you may have wait in line to order but they crank the sandwich right out.

We are so grateful for this gesture and will definitely be back. The food and coffee was amazing as well!

    Alright y'all, here we go with the official review for Box of Cubans - 10451 Gibsonton Dr…read more First things first -- the customer service? Absolutely loved it The guy at the front was on point the whole time. Even coming in right after the lunch rush, he made sure everything stayed clean and organized while still taking care of customers. That kind of attention to detail does not go unnoticed They were out of the sweet teas (I was hurt a little bit ), but overall the experience was still really good. Now let's get into the food because you already know that's what we're here for The chicken empanadas? Delicious. No complaints. The Cuban sandwich? It was good... but I'm gonna keep it real like I always do. The meat was flavorful, but it could've been more evenly distributed, and it didn't have that crispy bread texture I look for. Overall, it just didn't hit that top-tier level for me. So for this location: 8/10 Still a solid experience, still worth the visit -- but as of right now, the Wesley Chapel location is still holding that 10/10 crown And you already know I'm not done... Valrico, I'm coming next. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes
