What People Are Saying
from Google"Been here about a dozen times in 5 years. Very friendly environment and I always see law enforcement in there (south Wheeling). Good prices and very tasty food! I usually take a friend along. Rear parking is sometimes limited but plenty of street parking. Centrally located."
"Fantastic hoagies! First visit here was great. Super friendly staff. The restaurant is about the food, not the decor, but that adds to the attraction, honestly. I'd go again but be aware the lunch crowd was huge so plan ahead!"
"The best Italian sub in the valley for sure! The bread was perfect, the meat to cheese ratio perfect, the tangy sauce and onions set it off. My mouth is watering thinking about my experience. Every one that works there is friendly and happy. Clean simple decor definitely a locals lunch spot. I will be going often."
