excellent sandwiches and meals to go. great variety of hot and cold sandwiches. yum yum

-- Very Highly Recommended -- Everything about Simple Fare is exactly how a restaurant should be. The food is delicious, the space is quaint and clean, the chefs/owners are friendly and thoughtful, and their delivery is exceptionally fast (I usually receive my order in under 30 minutes). I would especially recommend their take on a Meatball sandwich, as well as their tasty fries. read more

My all time fav is the spinach salad with grilled portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers and goat cheese. They have also made trays for events- cheese and fruit, tiered cheese torte with crackers. Ripe fruit, trays ready when I arrive or when they delivered, they were on time. Trust them to get it right. read more

Delicious turkey avocado (spinach) wrap. Out of this world freshly made potato chips, You will never find a better potato chip. Friendly and relaxed ambiance. Diverse menu. Wish I lived and worked closer so I could visit more often! read more

Went in on a rainy Saturday afternoon for a couple of sandwiches. They have a small eating area but that's to be expected in Medford, haha! The bread is delicious, the homemade chips were great, and the antiques on the front counter are cool! Everyone was really friendly as well. read more

seem like very nice friendly people and I agree that the food was simple and fresh but I was generally unimpressed. The cobb salad was almost all greens with hardly any other ingredients. These were processed turkey, some tomatoes, and bleu cheese, and the bacon crumbles were limp. There was no texture, no contrast. A cobb salad should be a meal - this was not an $11 dollar salad. Add some avocado! The Cubano was an odd take - where was the roast pork? And the mustard was way too hot - Cuban food isn't hot spicy, just very flavorful. Go to Miami and try a real one. I ordered $22 worth of take out food and it was a small sandwich and a very light salad. Not a great value. Sorry - I really wanted to love this place as a west Medford resident. I might try it again - maybe I just ordered the wrong things. read more

I've tried simple fare twice now, and so far everything has been great. The food quality is very high and the prices are reasonable, making this the most interesting thing going in West Medford at the moment! read more

Hi, I just want to lend my voice to the good folks at Simple Fare. I have tried several things off their menu including the amazing watermelon gazpacho, chicken parmigiana, short ribs, and just last night their sesame chicken salad. This is not your normal takeout joint. This is real food cooked to order for you. Check their daily specials online and stop by on your way home. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow! What a delightful find! John took our order and was super friendly and helpful. My godmother has crazy food allergies and the chefs were more than accommodating. The food was delicious! Best ranch dressing ever!!! read more

We are "frequent flyer" takeout/delivery people; probably get a delivery 5 nights/week. Finding Simple Fare has been huge for us! Great menu options- not the usual litany of pizzas and subs. Everything we've had so far has been top notch! They've earned a spot in the rotation, as it were read more

This place is the best. The homemade chips are so great and crunchy. The Medford is a great edition of the classic chicken parm sandwich, but the chicken is so good. I'm used to chicken cutlets being kept warm over a boiler or something and hours old, but theirs are fresh and delicious. read more

Every single sandwich on this menu is PHENOMENAL. Owners are almost always there, which is great too! The house-made potato chips are to die for. They make visiting a no-brainer! read more

The Pilgrim sandwich was ok. The stuffing was like a patty and it was dry. Not something I would get again. The meatloaf dinner was delicious. read more

I just had the Chicken Marsala at a Fooda pop up. This was the worst Chicken Marsala I have ever had. There was zero flavor. The portion was VERy small for $841. The sauce was very greasy. I wish I could get a refund. Would not recommend this dish at all! read more

This place is excellent the Patriot is out of this world love the horse radish on it. The homemade chips are perfect. We will definitely be going back. Food and service were great. Atmosphere is great too. read more

This place is amazing! Finally a great place that has amazing food that's all homemade. The Chef, Marc is awesome! Everything from the Dinners down to the homemade potato chips. U have to check this place out read more

AWESOME PLACE!! Very nice staff. Got the Chicken Salad, and the Rueben. Rueben was LEAN, not TOO much dressing. Chicken Salad was PERFECT! Big chunks of white lean chicken meat with the PERFECT Amount Of Mayo. Keep up the good work Guys!! read more

I've been here three times. Definitely a step up from just a local pizza and sandwich place, though the meatball sub I got here was quality. Try the bourbon pecan chicken with mashed potatoes. I cleaned the plate. Literally. And I probably could have eaten more of it. It was that good. If you're in the area, I recommend it. read more

Simple Fare is great! The food is always fresh and delicious. I love the chicken fingers. My daughter loves their fries. We also love their homemade chips, so yummy! The staff is always pleasant. We will definitely be going back again and again and again haha read more

This is a very warm, friendly place with delicious food. My toddler and I come for lunch a lot and my whole family loves to get delivery from them on a night we don't feel like cooking. The people are great. The steak tips and mashed potatoes are my favorite. They have great kid food too. read more

This place is amazing. The food is a couple bucks more than the average sub shop but is well worth it, I spoil myself when I can. Everything is top quality, made fresh, with flair, from the in-house chips to the smoked meats, pickles, you name it they make it from scratch. Ample portions, well worth it. If you love *food* definitely give this place a try. They do a lot of catering but I've only ever grabbed lunch/dinner. My only complain is they don't turn up on Yelp or Google under "deli"! What's up with that? read more

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!! Drove from Acton to eat here before a show at the Arlington theatre. Only one small table and bar style seating in the Windows. But the FOOD!!!! Amazing!! Met the owners, the chef, the employees, all so friendly and eager for you to enjoy their cuisine. They said they are primarily a catering company that opened for take out and delivery. But what they are serving is handmade, from scratch, in house yummy to dupe for food!!! They need a real restaurant. We had the bourbon pecan chicken with a glaze out of this world and the homemade ravioli. My husband and I could not decide which dish was the best, and the portions are so large we are eating the leftovers for dinner tonight. You gotta try this place. And if you live in the hood, you are darn LUCKY!!!!! read more

What is cool about Simple Fare is that it is on the rare plane where subshop/diner/restaurant converge. As mentioned, the stuff is fresh and homemade, and this is probably the best thing about it. The menu is very diverse and they seem on top of all that stuff. The take out fridge where they have meals stored is great for a cheap dinner. read more

We used them to cater our Wedding and they did an outstanding job! Leading up to the wedding it was great working with Karyn. She responded quickly to both my phone calls and emails and helped make a stressful wedding a bit less stressful. The day of the wedding, I could not count the number of people who went up for seconds at the buffet, and multiple guests commented about how great the food was. The great thing was that as amazing as Karyn was, her staff was also incredible! Karyn provided us with bartenders and waitstaff who were fantastic. They were so attentive to both of us during the wedding that we definitely did not want for anything! read more

We heard how awesome Simple Fare was so our company out of Woburn ordered lunch from there. I ordered the Southwestern Chicken Sandwich with homemade potato chips. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back there again. read more

I stopped by today to check it out. It was nicely set up and very clean. I tried the southwestern chicken sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was nice and crispy and it came with amazing home made potato chips. There was so much to choose from. From soups, salads, sandwiches to homemade dinners. I'll definitely be back! read more

The food is great, and the service is very quick. So far I have had the gnocci and the pulled pork sandwich, and both were excellent. I only wish they were open later. read more

Just ordered short ribs and pork avocado wrap. Mind. Blown. The short ribs rival what I've had at top notch restaurants and this place delivers. There goes the New Years diet! Eat here immediately. What a win for Medford. read more

I had the sandwich special last week. It was a panini of grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella and house made dried tomato pesto, to say it was delicious is an understatement. The people there were great. They said they make their own bacon, corned beef, pulled pork, as well as dressings and condiments like the pesto. They cook the potato chips right there in the store. Someone got fries and they were cooked to order!! It looks like a sandwich shop, but they have a good size dinner menu also. I am going to have to try the bourbon pecan chicken, they said that is one of many dinner favorites along with the short ribs. There are a few tables and a counter where you can sit. This will definitely not be my last time, the aroma of the food is enough to make you hungry. read more

Absolutely delicious! I have had the Turkey Bacon Cheddar Panini with homemade chips and also the Gnocchi Rustica featuring their homemade sausage. The panini had just the right amount of all 3 ingredients and the turkey has been roasted at the restaurant. The homemade chips are amazing! The Gnocchi dish was extremely delicious and such a treat. I will be a regular customer here! read more

really awesome. trying this place improved my night! i had the bourbon pecan chicken. i'm excited to try their other stuff in the future but i'd eat this again anytime too. read more
