    Excellent meal at a reasonable price.  Would go there again.  The staff is very friendly.

    The food and service was excellent even on a Saturday. For the area the prices were reasonable.

    Tuna Salad Sandwich
    Sarah G.

    We were craving some classic sub sandwiches for lunch and decided to give this place a try. Parking is only available via metered street spots. They do not have their own lot. When you first walk in, you can see their menu clearly listed above the register where you place you're order. The menu selection and are quite large for a sandwich shop. They have cold, hot, and specialty sandwiches. They also offer some salads and a hot dog or two. They also 3-4 refrigerators filled with drink choices and sell chips (classic lays varieties and cape cod). Hidden amongst the drinks is a filtered water dispenser if you'd just like a cup of water. I ordered a classic tuna sub with lettuce, pickles, and yellow mustard. They also have the option of Dijon mustard. My husband ordered a cold cut Italian sandwich with all the toppings: lettuce, tomato, onions, hot peppers, oil and vinegar. We decide to eat at the place. Plenty of seating but our table was quite wobbly. Sandwiches were brought out pretty quickly (a pro since we were hungry). Another pro was the sandwiches were fully loaded with toppings and meats. Meats used here are deitz and Watson. Tuna was tasty and not overly drowned in mayo. Big con... the tasteless and stale sponge of a sub they were served on. Lunch cost $19 for the two subs and no drinks. Not bad, but pretty average sandwich in my opinion.

    Tuna Salad with lettuce, onions and pickles with a side of Red Bliss Potato Salad!
    Ben G.

    Was working in the area and was looking for a good sandwich from some great people. Absolutely delicious tuna sandwich with a side of red bliss potato salad. 11/10 would recommend! Ordered the sandwich on a sub roll but found out they had ran out when I went to pick it up. Business expressed their apologies and put it on a bulky roll with extra tuna . Thanks again! Will be back!

    3.5 stars. With voucher deal in hand, I popped into this sandwich shop to taste their wares. Two tables sat outside, but within was a goodly number of tables/chairs for what was presumably a primarily take-out place. With $14 to spend on food, I decided to get both sandwiches that sounded so good to me: Turkey Gobbler $7.99 Fresh turkey from the Outpost Farm in Holliston, MA, topped with stuffing, mayo, cranberry sauce, and lettuce Monte Cristo $7.59 turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese on lightly battered Texas Toast, grilled to a golden brown Bread options for the Gobbler mentioned to me were simple: White, Wheat, Multigrain, Sub, or Bulkie Roll. I opted for the bulkie roll, yes on the lettuce and mayo, and asked for some tomato. The Gobbler came cold but with irregularly carved slices of turkey, which were much lovelier to the eye than the cold cut thinly sliced turkey in the warm Monte Cristo. Both were tasty but could have been much improved with some slight changes, ie. warming the turkey and the stuffing in the Gobbler, and providing a side of maple syrup with the Monte Cristo for dipping. They offer smoothies for $3.79, made from either a mix or fruit juice.

    They make a nice egg sandwich, and the coffee is good

    This is a great spot in Newton center for a quick bite. The food is terrific, but what makes the place special is the staff. You will not find a more friendly helpful group. It's a hit n run kind of place, but they greet you warmly and get you on your way with a smile. Busy area, parking can be scarce. That's the only tricky part. I got lucky this morning right out front! A couple of egg sandwiches and a coffee fixed me right up! Thanks for that.

    Meat Eggwich!

Service was awesome. The smoothies were really good. My sandwich was good too. I liked the bread and the cheese. I thought it would be grilled for some reason but I must have been confused with the menu. I ate half the sandwich and saved the other half to eat at the airport. It not only held up well, it tasted even better. It was 1:30pm on a Monday and the place was packed! It's a well-oiled machine!

    I ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure how much blame pressed cafe gets, but the açaí bowl I…read moregot was basically a soup with how watery it was. The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D

I personally loooved the very berry mascarpone French toast, and I'm not even a dessert person! Nothing was too oily or under seasoned. The food is definitely the highlight of this place!

A bit more on the watery end, but I still enjoyed it (this might be more of a preference thing). Good portions (I was definitely full, and my friend couldn't even finish her omelette lol). Also ordered the weekend latte -- it felt too creamy, milky, and "specialty" to be a proper coffee drink (ended up needing to buy Starbucks later on in the day), but still very yummy (so it's more of a fun drink). Heard the matcha was too sweet btw. ~$30pp, so it's a bit steeper for a brunch place, but def worth it.

There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.
