Came to check out this famed sandwich spot to see how their sandwiches held up to the growing competitive sandwich game of the UES (looking at you Panineria and La Sandwicherie). It was good, and I think they have a menu with enough variety for you to find something that you'll enjoy (also some vegetarian sandwiches as well) but I don't know that I'll find myself feeling the need to come back (but also I'm not HUGE on sandwiches in general). The bread was good, fairly fresh and had a nice dusting of flour on it, the meat was a solid portion, and the quality of ingredients was good/fair. I think if I lived closer I would definitely give them another shot. People really seem to like them and this is one of a few of their locations, which are all successful! So come check it out, especially if you live in the area! read more

Came here one day randomly as I live in the area. Really cute shop with one guy working. I got the ham and Swiss sandwich which was good but nothing special. The worker was really nice and this would be a great spot to pick up some lunch meat I think but the sandwich its self was pretty standard. read more

I got the vegetarian sandwich, blanking on the name. So delicious and filling! Restaurant is small, but cute. Service is prompt.

Happened by this place off of 2nd Ave. Settled on the Cousin Anthony; Smoked Chicken, Fresh Mozz, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze, EVOO on Stirato Bread, and I had them add Regina's Calabrian Chili Spread. All the ingredients were fresh and top notch. The heat from the chili spread worked nicely with the crunch and chewiness of the stirato bread. The staff was professional and attentive. The room has a couple of two tops and a table outside. I'll be back. read more

Try: Uncle Jimmy Sandwich! Why: Really good Italian sandwich shop and a great addition to UES. Uncle Jimmy Sandwich was layered with Prosciutto, Sopressata, Smoked Ham, Mozzarella, Arugula, and Roasted Reds. It also had Chili Spread, Olive Oil, and Balsamic, which had a nice kick and added flavor. I didn't love the Stirato Bread but everything in between was delicious. I also tried Lil Phil Sandwich with Smoked Ham, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce and Tomatoes. It was a good classic sandwich but I felt it needed some sauce or oil for added flavor. Notes: Small and neat sandwich shop with a few tables inside and outside. Loved seeing the meat display and the Italian ingredients on wall. Workers were friendly and quick. I came on a Saturday during lunch time with a couple people ahead of me in line. I hope more locals discover this shop and I look forward to trying their other sandwiches! read more

Definitely one of the best spots to eat now on the Upper East Side, another little location similar to the original just opened right off 2nd Ave. Same as all the others so far, but they may soon offer more with access to a bigger kitchen here. For now, get the Uncle John or the Roman, two of the best sandwiches on the menu. read more

This place is steeep in $$$$ Overall I liked the sandwich but I wish the bread was better. Don't get me wrong it was good but with better bread it would have been amazing. The base of the sandwich was really really good. Bread was only thing holding back its potential. The ingredients inside the bread are absolutely amazing and is what is carrying the show! The atmosphere in the place is fun and welcoming! Need to try one in their hero bread. read more

Regina's Grocery - Uncle Jimmy - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

I really like this local sandwich spot. Sandwiches are alwayyys fresh and tasty, good variety. Atmosphere is so cute!

Service was good and quick but the food is mediocre. Had better sandwiches at a random deli at 2am for half the price. Had the lil Phil and tuna one. Sadly won't return just not worth the price for no flavor read more

It's a very small outfit, but everything was fresh and they make the sandwiches right in front of you . The service was okay, not particularly friendly or extra in any way but it was fine. The bread wasn't the best, but I don't think they make it in house. The bread was the only negative about the sandwich. Everything else was fresh, especially the meat. Also, this location doesn't have any hot sandwiches, like the other location on orchard ie: not meatball sandwiches. The only other semi complaint, a gentleman came in 4-5 minutes after me and ordered. He received his sandwich the same time I did, actually it was first but within 30 seconds. I waited a total of 10 minutes, and that was a bit annoying that the process wasn't first come first serve. read more

The restaurant offers quality food with friendly employees. The taste experience speaks volumes. The staff is alert to new arrivals. Making the visit outstanding, the proprietor is remarkably friendly and observant. Every aspect reflected attention to detail. read more

One of the best sandwiches I have bad on the Upper East Side. I have been to the actual place twice since it opened and I have had delivery from this place. The people who work here are very nice. One of the guys remembered me. I usually get the Lil phil sandwich which is smoked ham, provolone cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. It's chefs kiss... sooo good! They have other types of sandwiches as well but I have not tried them. I think this place used to be a barber shop. As you can see in pictures it is not a big space. They have interesting things on the wall too. read more

Regina's Grocery is a fun new italian sandwich shop on 88th st. The staff is friendly. I've had an uncle chubby twice now and both were pretty good! I'll be back to try the uncle phil since the uncle chubby didn't 100% do it for me. It's a small establishment but there is limited seating and sandwiches come out within ~10 minutes. read more

Like all things, my impressions are subjective but I detested the stifata bread that makes this place so highly regarded. It's chewy to a point where it feels like tearing leather -- which is so disappointing, because the stuff between the bread is amazing and the sandwich incredibly well built. I went back a second time to try it on a hero, but that wasn't so great, either. I'll stick with Milano's Market instead. read more

Regina's Grocery - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

The sandwich was good, but overpriced, especially considering you can walk a few blocks to Milano's on 89th & 3rd and get a better sandwich. The service was decent, though I was the only customer, so that's expected. The place is small, basically a hole-in-the-wall, and I'd recommend grabbing the food to eat elsewhere. Since it's rarely crowded, it's hard to judge the ambiance. It seems popular with the younger Gen Z crowd, which makes me think Regina's is more about the hype than offering exceptional food. The food is good, but not memorable. read more

The sandwiches are good, the service is friendly and efficient. I'm not sure what the hype is though...but it is a reliable sandwich shop.

I almost cried when I took the first bite of this sandwich. I did cry a little I'm not ashamed. I got two traffic tickets on my way here and the cashier noticed and turned my day completely around with his kindness. Thank you, and god bless. read more

Awe man where do I start, this place is great. It such a small shop with the most welcoming staff. Walked in and off the bat already knew what I wanted because I saw this spot on social media. Came to try the Uncle Jimmy Sandwich and I was not disappointed. The whole overall sandwich was delicious. Tasted fresh, great amount, looks appetizing and is just overall a 10/10. It is a small shop but you will find seating wether it's inside or outdoor seating they have. Also it's a great place for just on the go super fast service. Love this place ! read more

Great sandwiches. I'm a big fan of the Uncle Chubby, The UES location is small so it is basically a take out spot.

Amazing sammie spot. This was so good I got it two days in a row. Ingredients are fresh and unique. Boys in front are super friendly and welcoming. This place is going to be an amazing spot just like downtown! read more

So good so fresh. I've wanted to check this place out since it opened not too long ago. Today I stopped in and ordered a grandma Lucy tuna sandwich and I was not disappointed. The person who took my order was super friendly which I loved and when I got home I found an Italian cake treat in my bag. THANK YOU!!!! today has been a lil crappy and that totally helped. I definitely recommend. read more

The best sandwich I've ever had. Uncle Jimmy sandwich was spicy and so good. Great service.

Very good sandwich, very good salad. Clean place. Efficient. Server was just unnecessarily curt/borderline rude. No need to go out of your way to make a customer feel like they're intruding by ordering from you and dumb. Especially when the sandwich is $17. read more

Great place. Glad they opened another location. The Uncle Jimmy is delicious. Highly recommend.

Best Italian wedges, hoagies,subs what you call it's the best sandwich in UES . The meat is very very generous & and wonderful selection of combinations . read more
