there's a female worker sammi who hasn't had enough of meatballs clearly and went after my husband. You're trash.

The staff were decent, nice, young people.The food itself was mediocre.I got the 4-meatball sub with marinara, beef meatballs, cheese, and fresh basil. The bread was the best part, it was soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Unfortunately, the marinara was watery and bland, and soaked into the bread, creating a soggy, sour sponge. The meatballs were ok. They were under-spiced and under-salted, just carrying that classic 'cooked ground beef' flavor, but less appetizing than usual... maybe the meat was a bit old? But definitely under-seasoned.The cheese was nice and stretchy, and the basil was fresh. But overall, the sandwich was not something I'd return for. I also got a vegetarian meatball to try, and it was just... beany. I know it's made of white beans, but again, kind of bland, lacking umami.I hate to say this, but I'd go to Subway instead for the same thing, it has a lot more flavor despite having a lower freshness and quality of ingredients.Nothing wrong with the staff, they were great... the food is not worth coming back for, though.

Just got a meatball sub for lunch. It was very good and also filling. The staff were very nice and recommended what to try. I would definitely eat here again.

We couldn't even try food. Lady working was clueless. Kept telling us to wait while she was on the phone. After 10 minutes we walked out.

The marinara sauce was so spicy I couldn't even eat it!

The first time here wasn’t the greatest. I didn’t feel welcome and the worker didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. They weren’t knowledgeable about the menu, that or they just didn’t care. I am not a big fan of the mushroom sauce. It was very watery and lack of flavor. The Red sauce had some flavor but not much, Way better than the mushroom sauce. I don’t recommend buying the breadsticks because it is very Doughy, had no taste at all and I don’t think it was cooked enough. The wedding soup is more broth than anything else. But the flavor was there. The beef meatballs have good texture and flavor by themselves. I would’ve given them another star if I was just judging meatballs. If there’s a next time I will just be getting a meatball sub.

Their balls are amazing...

I got the vegetarian meat balls w/ vodka sauce! It was incredible! will definitely return.

They just had a new Alfredo sauce and it was EXCEPTIONAL!

I was in the mood for some food and found that only this place and the taco place next to it were open. Well I chose the taco place and didn't like my food so I came here instead and loved the meatballs here. I can honestly say they have a great selection if meats and sauces and I absolutely enjoyed eating here.
