    First time going on a Friday, extremely busy. Staff is friendly and the women working the orders is IMPRESSIVE because those double phones were ringing and she didn't miss a beat. The young lady bringing out the food was on it too.. we waited about an hour, I ordered fish fry platter and chicken strip kids meal. Food was fresh and tasty. Moving forward i know to order ahead. Wish I had tarter sauce, other than that I would go back again.

    The service was great, I love when the cashier interacts with me and or my husband in a conversation. My husband got the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti, I got the chicken bacon ranch pasta, cheesy bread, and French fries, it was very good im excited about trying something else and getting more cheesy bread. I do have one suggestion, the property is big enough to put like 3 tables in there for a dine in.

    Excellent fish fry, came with fries, coleslaw and mac and cheese. It's definitely in my top 3 local favorite fish frys. I have been seeing some photos and social media posts so decided to give it a try. I def do not regret it and look forward to going back. Price was reasonable too for what we got. Keep up the good work!

    Went for the spaghetti and meatballs special for lunch to-go. Didn’t post a pic because I demolished that plate. To be honest the tomato sauce wasn’t quite how I like it, but everyone has their own recipe and it was still incredibly delicious. Those meatballs though, oh man. It’s been a while since I had a meatball that good. I sat at work with my to-go order wishing I’d been smarter and ordered more of them. I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish them though because of how generous their portions are. Will definitely be going back to try some of their other menu items. The staff were friendly, and when I asked about the special told me about some of the other ones they were offering that day. Heard the cooks joking with each other in the back as they made orders. That’s usually a good sign and shows they enjoy what they do. Overall I feel like I got what I paid for and then some.

    I deliver here every single Friday, and I get to see how all the food is made and how all of the staff are. Group of the nicest people I’ve ever met! Also by far one of the cleanest food preparations I’ve ever witnessed. Food always looks smells and tastes amazing! Highly recommend getting some amazing food from the boss!

    We went here for a meatball sub and to see if this place lived up to the hype we read. We had a young guy at the counter inform us of specials which was nice. We ordered the meatball sub and had fried garlic tossed on as well for a small cost. Unfortunately we could not get seating which would of been nice but shows the place is busy Wife and I played pool while waiting for our sub, another nice feature with this place. The place seems clean and organized, very small dine in atmosphere here. We took our sub and went to Eldridge park and enjoyed our sub. I can say we totally enjoyed the sub it was awesomeness if I have one complaint the wife agrees the mozzarella was light in our opinions, very small thing will not stop us from going frequently for this sub the roasted garlic was amazing and worth the up cost in our opinions I love seeing this type of situation in Elmira it's awesome to find this type small business finding a niche and running with it. Thank you the sub was memorable Edit: 3/18 Second time not always a charm Today some snags, first no parking I had to park my motorcycle in a spot out front that was being used for nothing, my wife took offense the person at the counter told her park down the street, wrong attitude to take with customers at anytime. We went to Harris Hill, the sub was nowhere as nice, whoever made it crushed the meatballs obviously to use less meatballs NOT Impressed, the bun was not as toasted as the first time so kind of made us feel maybe the first time was the "Holy Grail" of meatball subs and we have come to see reality today. Next a customer started yelling he had a pre-order he been waiting an hour he stormed out without getting his order. Another customer sitting at a booth was there before us seemed to get upset we received our meatball sub before they received their food we decided we will take a leap of faith and try this place a 3rd time and adjust our review from there BTW my wife griped there is no handicapped parking another thing I will mention on our next visit Edit 6/18 we been here 8 times since my last edit, my wife considers the meatball sub her "aphrodisiac" we go to Eldridge park or ECU mud puddle to enjoy. Of the last 8 times we had one meatball missing and it was promptly made right. I am going to have to try some of the other dishes here in all fairness. Edit: 6/26 another trip to Eldrige and the wife's meatball sub fix. We think the pictures show what you can expect, again that missing meatball is not going to break the bank guys, especially you want repeat customers plenty of sauce, an OK amount of cheese the garlic is a real pleasure for us.
