    Amazing sandwiches! I love the devito! Like having a pizza in a sandwich. I like that they have 7inch, that is more than a Enough for me. I feel they are hidden would be cool the have another location. Staff is always great!

    As a sandwich lover I was super excited about this place. Meat quality was great. Large selection is a plus I think overall it was a solid sandwich. It wasn't dry. Had good flavor. I love the marinated tomato's and mozz. I think overall the sandwich didn't have any mind blowing experience. But super solid.

    TikTok brought me here and I'm forever grateful ! I've been getting the Stallone every time I come because I fell in love after first bite! TT tells you to try it hot but haven't done it yet! Pro tip- If you order online, it doesn't say it comes hot so just put it in the notes/or call the store & they'll heat it up for you !

    The food came out fast, considering there was a crowd of people. The line moved very quickly, the restaurant was clean with. The amount of food that came out was significant, the bread was pretty much a foot-long and yes, indeed very crusty! The chicken Parm was very hot and the melted cheese put the flavor over the top. The turkey melt in my opinion was slightly better as it was my preference of what I ordered. I did not realize the portions would be so big and maybe would like to see if they can provide half orders in the future.

    The sandwiches here are fantastic. Lots of combinations and options for deli meats. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant setting was casual but comfortable. We also ordered a cannoli and it was super fresh. The only disappointment was the "crusty Italian roll" - the sub buns were not crusty at all. They were chewy, which likely means the bread was made the day before. I wouldn't promise a crusty roll if I couldn't deliver on that consistently.

    I visited this new Tony's a few weeks ago for Sunday lunch. I was excited to see this new outpost of Tony's because I have dined at the original up in Montgomery County near Lake Conroe. That was a 5 star visit. I ordered the DiCaprio cold sandwich which is their chicken salad sandwich that also comes with cranberry pecans, cheese and bacon. With chips and a fountain drink and tax my bill was $16.50. A real deal. The meal was ready in about 10 minutes. The chicken salad here is simply the best. Extremely flavorful with the creamy chicken salad mixed with cranberry pecans. Yes you can taste it. Add to it the bacon and cheese and absolutely delicious bread together makes for the perfect sandwich. From a taste perspective, this is as good as it gets. Price wise it is a value for what you get both in quality and quantity. This outpost is about 20 miles south of the original and the folks of Tomball are lucky to have it. My only ask for Tony's is how about bringing the next one another 15-20 miles further south for Houston's sake? You have a winning combination here but come further south where more people live so that they can enjoy your goodness. Please!

    This place totally blew me away! I don't always have high expectations when going to a deli--how high can the ceiling for sandwiches really be? Well, I can confidently say: very high. My partner and I ordered The Martin and The Stallone, both toasted, to share. Both of these sandwiches were incredible. Truly some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. They were rich, flavorful, and packed with high quality ingredients. While The Stallone is arguably their most revered menu item, I think I actually enjoyed The Martin even more. While I did love The Stallone, it was almost *too* rich and salty. The Martin felt more balanced, like I could just keep eating it and not get sick. But it still held the same complex flavors. I also think a standout part of the sandwiches was the bread itself--fluffy on the inside, toasted to perfection, and sprinkled with oil and parmesan. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

    I've heard Tony's described as one of the best sandwiches in the country, & they really do live up to their reputation! I was not prepared for how much flavor explodes out of their sandwiches. They are super generous with the oils and seasoning- in a good way. I've tried a few different options and my favorite is the Stallone, their Italian sandwich. It's offered under the Cold Sandwich section, but you can request for any of their sandwiches to come toasted, which I highly recommend. Their usual 12" size is extremely filling for most people. Their sandwiches keep really well and I prefer to just save half of a 12" for later instead of sizing down to a 7".. all the oil and seasonings make it taste even better later in the day, as long as you store the leftovers safely. Service is consistently friendly and helpful, even though the food can take some time to come out. It's a pretty popular spot so the line can get a little long and the seating a little full, but nothing overwhelming. This is truly a great sandwich shop that I think everyone should have a chance to try. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 10/5 - Service: 5/5

    I tried Tony's in Magnolia years ago when Yelp put them on everyone's radar for being #1 in sandwiches, and I remember they were amazing but that drive was just too much to justify going out there, and I kind of forgot about them. I'm not sure what reminded me of this place, but I was so excited to see that they have this location, which is only 30 minutes away now. The sandwiches are still amazing here. It's funny because the pictures in their menu look so good, but once you get your order, you realize those pictures don't even do the sandwiches justice. Here's what we had: Minnelli sandwich on crusty sub bread- 5/5 fantastic flavors and freshness. It comes on a sub roll but next time I want to try it on the marble rye. Chicken parm sandwich - 5/5 so saucy and delicious. Nothing is overly seasoned so the freshness of it all shines through. Carrot cake - 3/5 not bad but I've had better. I could taste the refrigerator flavor so that part bothered me. I wouldn't get this again. Cream Puffs - 5/5 but I wouldn't order this one again either. The cream puffs are fantastic, but you only get 5 little puffs for almost five dollars. It's just not worth the money. Side note: the menu listed eclairs but the guy who took our order, Slim, said they don't sell that anymore. Slim, btw, was super nice and helpful. I saw a few complaints about customer service but I didn't have any issues with Slim! Definitely recommend this place and their sandwiches! I'm planning on trying other flavors next time!

    Tony's Italian Deli is easily one of the best Italian sandwiches I've had in my entire life! The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is professional and courteous, and for the price you simply will not find a better Italian sandwich anywhere in the area. We ordered The Stallone and The Rocky, and both were fantastic with their own unique flavors. Each sandwich was made with generous amounts of gourmet meats, and the bread was fresh, airy, and perfectly crispy. The red peppers on The Rocky were especially delicious, and the combination of meats and pesto on The Stallone was amazing. Both sandwiches were drizzled with olive oil and red wine vinegar, which absolutely put them over the top, the kind of touch you'd expect from a genuine Italian restaurant. The value is outstanding! For only about $17 per person for a 12 inch sandwich, bag of chips, and bottomless fountain soda. The dining area was kept continuously clean, the staff was friendly and professional, and while there were steady crowds, it never felt overwhelming. It was a really enjoyable, simple, and comfortable atmosphere that fit the meal perfectly. Overall, I give Tony's Italian Deli two enthusiastic thumbs up! They deserve every one of Yelp's five stars! This is truly one of the best sandwich shops I've ever visited, and I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended fantastic sandwich shop!

    The taste you can enjoy! Best subs around the town! In 14 years living here my first time stopping by!!! Didn't realize I was missing out !! Good service!

    Felt like I was walking into an Italian deli in NYC! There's a variety of "Carnegie" choices and we decided to order the Stallone and build your own pastrami. The bread was super soft and food was delicious!! Staff was nice and patiently answered some of our questions. Shop was crowded but there were some outdoor seats. Definitely will be stopping by again!

    Absolutely worthy of the hype. Amazing food and excellent service. Best sub I've ever had. We will be back.

    10/10 -- My New Favorite Cozy Spot…read more I cannot say enough good things about Panicafe! This adorable little European café right down the street from my home has completely won my heart. I had enjoyed their food before, but this was my first time actually going in and sitting down -- and it was such a lovely experience. I stopped by on a Saturday after a nail appointment, planning to meet a girlfriend. I arrived almost an hour early, so I ordered a cappuccino and a small bite to eat and asked if it would be okay to sit and do a little writing while I waited. I was welcomed so warmly. Paola (one of the managers/owners) assured me it was absolutely fine, and she was so kind and attentive from the very beginning. The café itself is charming, cozy, and inviting -- the kind of place you can truly relax in. Once my girlfriend arrived, we decided to try the teatime option (which I didn't even realize they offered until I saw it on the menu!), and it was such a treat. We also shared a salad and ended up talking and catching up for nearly three hours. Not once did we feel rushed. It was the perfect atmosphere for meaningful conversation and connection. I've also visited on my own and had an equally wonderful experience. It's just as special whether you're meeting a friend or enjoying quiet time by yourself. The tea selection is beautiful -- I brought home some Lady Grey (I'm a huge Earl Grey fan), and it was absolutely delicious. Paola is truly a gem -- attentive, welcoming, and genuinely warm. That kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Hands down, 10 out of 10. Panicafe will always be one of my go-to spots. If you're ever in Spring, stop by -- and tell Paola that Latice sent you!

    Whenever venturing around our vast country, I like to frequent businesses that are not found where…read moreI live; naturally, I saw Portillo's (a native business from Chicago) and knew I had to try 'em out! First off, the outside as well as inside of the establishment is beautiful! When you walk in, the restaurant is beautifully decorated; it's a cross between a fast-food establishment and a restaurant dining-style. I believe another Yelper also mentioned that fact as well. One can order in two options: using the self-kiosk, or going to the counter where there is someone there to take your order. Having both options available is rather convenient. For my food, I got the Famous Meal #1: Italian Beef Sandwich. However, I came prepared: it was going to be personalized to be the perfect meal. FIRST: make it big ($2), then add sweet and hot peppers ($1.98), mozz cheese ($.89), and ordered slightly wet. For my sides, I opted for the large onion rings ($4.99), and in addition --- this is A LOT -- I got the famous Chocolate Cake Shake (additional $6.19). If you were going to get a normal meal, it would probably cost you about $14.57. Mine -- with all the add-ons? $26.88. Take that into consideration. How was the food? Portillo's is definitely the experience many Chicagoans have heaped about. The "dipped" Italian Beef Sandwich was generously portioned, and if I had anything to comment-on --- it would be adding more sweet + hot peppers to the sandwich. Besides that, everything else was spot-on. On to that famous milk-shake: if you're a first-timer DO IT. How does it taste? It honestly tastes like a "real" version of a frosty from Wendy's --- taste wise. At least we know what's in this milkshake: Ice Cream, Milk, and a slice of chocolate cake. It was thick, creamy, and hit the spot. All-in-all, I totally recommend Portillo's if there is a location near you! It's definitely an American institution and is worthy of the hype.

We approached the counter and placed our order then waited for our number to be called. The establishment is fairly large with brightly colored decor and table/booth seating options. It was clean and the customer service was exceptional. There was a lady calling out orders over the intercom. She used quirky call outs for each order number which was a nice added touch to the experience! I ordered the Italian beef with melted cheese and it was delicious! The bread was nicely toasted, meat was juicy and flavorful and the cheese brought it all together! Highly recommend!

    Why 5 stars? Because this long awaited visit was so worth the wait…read more --- --- --- This was one of those places I have not only had on my list forever, but I've tried to go a comical amount of times. Somehow, someway, it seems to never work out for me. But it finally happened and I'm mad at myself that it took so long. Probably 2+ years ago a friend and I were at a local sub shop in Sugar Land, and he mentioned how Blimpie was always his favorite. I couldn't even remember if I'd ever been to a Blimpie, but I saw that there happened to be one, so I bookmarked it on that day, and it haunted me ever since. Blimpie cares not about decor or vibes, but they do make an absolutely incredible sandwich. The menu is unique, in that each sandwich is basically just one ingredient different than the sandwich above it. I opted for the Blimpie Best Deluxe on parmesan bre The bread was pillowy soft. The flavor of the sandwich was absolute perfection. It somehow got better each bite. I could not believe how much I liked it and how sad I was when it was over. It will probably torment me indefinitely that I didn't order the larger sandwich. I will prevail. And I will visit again. My question though, is very simply: why did Blimpie almost completely go away? It's light years better than Subway.

    A Blimpie with a 4.8 on Yelp and 4.5 on Google Maps... seriously? You know this Yelper had to…read moreinvestigate. For context, I'm a Subway loyalist. I used to eat it daily back when a full meal was $4.99, and I've even had Subway in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. So yes, I have a calibrated palate for mass‑market sandwiches. They've got a handful of subs on special, but for a couple bucks more I went with my usual Italian--here called the "Italiano"--on Cheddar Jalapeño bread. And of course I did the footlong because size does matter. I asked for it toasted, only to discover they use a panini press, which flattens the bread like a stress test. Not my favorite. Ironically, I used to love Blimpie's oven‑style toast before Subway even offered it. They do have a separate oven for melting cheese, and that part I absolutely recommend. The sandwich itself was very good and definitely in Subway territory. For $1.29 you can grab a self‑serve cookie--critical, because I can select the front‑row cookie with the maximum chip‑to‑dough ratio. Fresh daily, solid flavor, very Subway‑adjacent. But I still prefer Subway's footlong cookie. It's a personality trait at this point. Staff was extremely friendly. I'm pretty sure the owner was working the counter, unless a gentleman of his seniority just enjoys staying busy or needs the cash, which is increasingly common these days. Honestly, that personal touch is probably what gives this place an edge over Subway. Pepsi products here. Acceptable, but I'm a Coke person. Blimpie is becoming an endangered species, even though it predates Subway by a year. But overall, I still think Subway has the stronger product.
