    This place creates food worth paying for without overcharging. They prepare tasty food without waiting. The staff provided exceptional customer care and the dishes were top-notch. This place deserves to break the star limit. The restaurant's interior is beautiful.

    I ordered a sandwich and a pretzel Sammy partner got chicken tenders. Bag came sealed with the accurate receipt but no sandwich. Called and cannot reach the place because it went to Verizon like they haven’t paid their bill. So I know it wasn’t the delivery guys fault, just be better and if you own a business, maybe give the customer what they paid for or if it’s a mess up be available to handle it. Worked in service over 20 years and this is crappy service

    I have been to all 4 locations in NYC and honestly the staff here holds it down. They are on point with orders and they notice mistakes fast. Madison ave location needs training from these guys. This location is #1 #2 42nd street location #3 96th street #4 madison ave (cold food, horrible costumer service, manager is unprofessional)

    This place was AWESOME! Great service and if you like spicy food, the cherry spread cheesesteak with black pepper cheese was 🤤. We’re from Iowa and would love to come back on another trip.
