    4+ mom and pop type spot located in a strip mall that specializes in hot and cold sandwiches/ subs. They have a fryer here so they do items like fried seafood (including sandwiches and items like fish and chips, etc.). Couldn't decide what I wanted for lunch the other day and this popped up on my radar. Came in on the later side after most lunch time for most people so it wasn't busy at all and plenty of parking. Was greeted by a friendly, helpful person when I came in. I decided on the Nena sub, which was one of the specials of that particular day. This is basically their version as the loaded up, Italian meats sub. The prices here are more than reasonable, especially when you consider the size of the sandwiches. The bread is fresh and soft. Definitely a great sandwich / lunch spot that could easily be a rotational player in the area.

    Very good the bread makes the difference very old looking place which is a plus the cashier said it's been here for 50 years! The clam chowder was OK, probably wouldn't get that again however the sandwiches are very good. I would come back if in the area the overall experience was very pleasing.

    9. Ham, Bacon, Cheese Sub
    Crystal N.

    This spot is in a small plaza area so there's available parking. There's a menu at the counter for you to browse before ordering. I ordered the ham, bacon, and cheese sub. The small is perfect size to fill you up. I thibk next time, I wouldn't get the peppercinis in it. I was the only customer when I went in so the lady was quick with my sub. But overall p good. I would come back!

    4. Coppocola and Cheese Sub
    Isabella D.

    It's a tiny hole in the wall, just how I like it. Made to order. Just one worker. I got the coppocola and cheese sub with French fries and pink lemonade. It was great. I loved it. Side of ranch and hot sauce. Delicious. They have a huge menu! I wanna try their meatball sub next time. If you like an old fashioned deli, you'll love this place. I didn't need the fries! That sub was so big and filling. I saved half the sub for later. And the fries super hot and crispy! Yummy

    Philly Cheese w/ Avocado mmmmmm..
    james B.

    This review is based on my first visit to Tj's. Me and my wife both got the philly cheese with avocado with a side of fries. Both of us really enjoyed our sandwiches because the bread was toasted and warm. The meat was plentiful and the perfect meat ratio with the onions, mushrooms and other fresh veggies. The owner was super nice and helped us navigate through the menu and decide on a warm sandwich of our liking. This is the kind of place that'll make forget about subway and all the other chain sandwich places that cost around the same. I highly recommend trying the philly cheese with avocado and mushrooms. Also get some fries!!

    So I was next door, fixing my Ram's football jersey at Lee's embroidery shop, when I found this place. I was first apprehensive when I saw this place, but was starving, and sometimes these little Mom & Pop stores are hidden gems. Well after eating here, this gem shined pretty bright. What a pleasant surprise. My hot roast beef sandwich was of average size, but very flavorful, the roll was was fresh, lightly crusty, but soft on the inside. The female staffer was really nice and friendly, offered me a free ice tea, while waiting. Bonus points for her and the offer. Kind of enjoyed this sandwich, better than Subway. With the above average sub, I'll definitely be back for my sandwich cravings.

    Sorry couldn't wait to eat some. But there always a Knockout

    I always order from Maria and she never disappoints. Sandwiches are always good and even my company enjoys them. I Highly recommend them for lunch or dinner or party's. They also make party trays to your liking

    Edit: So i did end up gettinf food poisoning the next day…read more The broth or something was definitely spoiled. Disgusting place. __ First time here. Upon walking into this establishment, i got this weird unfriendly vibe. Thats fine, let the food speak for itself. I ordered the eggplant ricotta w penne, chicken alfredo, and a beef dip to go. Pasta for both dishes are mushy and overcooked. The alfredo sauce was curdled and clumpy and needed salt. I did ask for extra sauce, but this wasnt the issue. Beef sandwich was dry, but hey thats what the dipping broth is for. Unfortunately the broth/au jus was SOUR. I thought it was spoiled and the taste almost made me vomit. Like imagine youre expecting beef broth flavor and instead you get some vinegary liquid taste. I called them and they said the chef JUST tasted it and said they added too much worchestershire sauce. Ok, ill give them the benefit of the doubt that their broth wasnt spoiled since i did taste the worchestershire. BUT why isnt the chef tasting as they cook to control their food quality? I paid for this nasty, sour broth i cant even finish bc it is so gross and taste fermented. Aside from the mushy pasta, the eggplant ricotta was ok. The marinara sauce they use is way too salty. Again, must be bc they dont taste what they cook. In total i spent around $50, and the food is disappointing enough that i wont be returning.

    .., meet Whittier's Uptown hero!…read more My experience here was from 6/26/26 & it did not disappoint. Though I've been to Uptown Provisions twice before to support my friend Andrew M, as well as my other friend Andrew P. with Satori Coffee Project, this was my actual visit where I finally ate! Third times the charm! Tucked nicely into a Penn St. neighborhood, Uptown Provisions can easily be spotted by the loyal patrons waiting/dining outside. May the street parking gods be kind to you as they always provide me with a spot nearby. Knowing what I already wanted from doing my menu homework the night prior, I was practically drooling on my way in. Greeted by a great staff & friendly fellow patrons, I felt right at home. I went with the "Tom's Way" sandwich. Dedicated to one of their favorite customers, it's a crossover between an egg sandwich & a pastrami. It was perfect! Chef Aaron describes his sandos as the perfect West Coast sandwich, & that I can totally agree with. Tom's Way provided me with a robust sandwich blend that never knew I needed until now. Each component's flavor profile blended together nicely. I'm usually hit or miss with rye bread, but this rye hit the mark & held the ship together. The eggs were made with care & prepared in a way I've never tasted before, very delicious. Pastrami was tender, pickled onions provided the bitter tangy component while the broccoli slaw became the soothing blanket that nestled every flavor together. I absolutely loved my sandwich. They post a 20 minute wait time but I got mine in 15. Great things come to those who wait. They do not have a public bathroom so plan your visit accordingly. They have a few counter seats inside with plenty more outdoor seating in front with friendly locals chatting it up. Don't be shy with the napkins. Thank you Uptown Provisions for a great experience, I shall return!

Some older lady came and said the manager was in a meeting & to come back later, but he wanted to wait so she offered him coffee or water. Caramelo is way too good & customer service is great to have bullies as an employee. Obviously if the gentleman is waiting for an interview Is because there's space for more employees to work.
