    Joe's Spice Girl
    Jon G.

    Wow! I love a sandwich shop that finds a way to strike a balance between a light feeling sandwich yet still finding a way to make me feel full and satisfied. Came in about an hour before they closed. Picked up a Joe's Spice Girl sandwich as is. Bread was superb, light, and fresh. Pastrami tasted wonderful. The pepperjack, spicy mayo, and veggies were all absolutely on point! The place itself is rather small with a couple of tables and a bench. They aren't much for the dine in type. Service was lightning quick. It took them maybe 3 minutes before they called my name. 8.4/10 Easily would come back!

    Christine's Turkey Pesto Sandwich

    As soon as you walk in you can feel the cozy small local vibe it brings to the table. Seating is limited so prepare to sit in one of the two tables or on the bench. The two wonderful people who own the place were kind & welcoming. I loved the guitar available for people to play. The selection of chips was okay. Thanks for suggesting the Voodoo chips. Sadly they were not spicy but yummy! :-9 I hope they add more of a selection. I ordered the Christine's pesto sandwich, i forgot to elimínate the olives but it was delicious. I should have submitted the cream cheese for a sharp cheddar. I look forward to checking this place out again!

    Quick and friendly service + amazing food! There's a few small tables to eat at. The big menu had a bunch to offer, was hard to decide but the amazing staff helped us out. We got Carrie's and their freshly made tuna. Both were super good, only way it could've been better is if we had some veggies added to the tuna. Thank you for a great lunch!

    Carrie's Italian Sub

    If you haven't been to The Grotto lately, you're missing out on some seriously good eats. This local gem is serving up the best sandwiches in town. I got Carrie's Italian Sub and it was DELISH. They have a super cute sandwich nook perfect for people watching out the window. Seems like they always have fresh bread and slice their meats/cheeses/veggies daily by using this super old school slicer. I haven't seen any other sandwich spots around town that freshly slice their ingredients like The Grotto does! I hear there are new owners and they're doing an amazing job at bringing this place back to life and providing great service. It's close to my work so consider this my new lunch spot!

    Menu

    Apparently under new ownership and it is like night and day unfortunately. As you can see from my photos the Reuben the prior owner made and the Reuben the current owner makes. The price of the sandwiches in the past was acceptable because of the quality and love that was put into them. Prices haven't changed under new ownership but the quality has. It was basically some deli meat and a slice of cheese between 2 slices of sandwich bread with a very conservative amount of toppings. Didn't detect any Russian dressing. Not toasted or warm. Extremely disappointing as this was the best sandwich shop around. 2 stars for keeping the menu the same and the new owner being nice. That said, I don't think I'll be back.

    Breakfast Reuben

    The Breakfast Reuben used to be good. This and the Hamerican are now served on untoasted English muffins, while is just not good. I don't know anyone who eats English muffins without a go in the toaster first. Ended up tossing the muffin and eating the contents.

    The best little sandwich shop in Humboldt!

    The BEST! The yummiest breakfast sandwiches and the cutest little sandwich shop run by the most delightful Paula! Old school mom and pop sandwichery of perfection! Rare to find and a joy to visit!

    The food is fresh and delicious. Smoked salmon choker on Friday is outrageous! Bicuits and gravy Saturday morning is perfect!
