    I live fairly close to Don's and have had their food twice. Once was through a delivery service and the other we picked up. The sandwiches (and garlic bread) are all we've had and are really all we want. The boy gets the Ford special ($9.99) which combines veal and steak and I usually opt for veal ($6.99, steak is $5.99). Both are super huge sandwiches and heavy with meat! You can add hot peppers, mushrooms and onions if you'd like (for an added cost). The sauce is so tasty and the meat is so tender. And it's fresh because it takes time for your sandwich to be ready.

    I usually cut mine in half to make it easier to eat and also to hopefully save the rest for later. Can't, it's just so good! The store itself is something to see. Your eyes always find something amusing to look at. And the service was so good. The man behind the counter is so friendly and knows many of the familiar faces coming in. He knows how to treat his customers!

    I will definitely continue to stop by if I ever have a craving.

    What a joke this place. They call themselves an Italian eatery???
    The veal sandwich was bad and their chef salad comes with ONLY lettuce and tomatoes and to top it off..... ready for this??? Packaged Kraft Italian dressing? Really?
    What a let down.

    Ordered through SkipTheDishes so I can't speak to the service, but the food was a solid 3/5. I ordered the eggplant sandwich with extra cheese and mushrooms and it was an absolute mountain of breaded eggplant - not crispy because of the mess of hearty tomato sauce and generous portion of mozzarella cheese, but very tasty and filling. The eggplant was kinda fibrous so I might go for a meat sandwich next time, but everything else was on point.

    I also ordered a frozen veal and a frozen spaghetti with meat sauce, mainly because it pushed me over the threshold for free delivery. I love that they sell frozen meals, and it's an even better deal. Prices are very reasonable to begin with, so getting more meals out of my order was a no-brainer. I haven't tried the veal but the spaghetti was fine - noodles okay, decent portion of meat, needs to be served hot and properly reheated in an oven. I kinda wish they'd just included a slip of paper with the ideal reheating temperature, but that's a quibble.

    Would order again if I needed an Italian sandwich fix.

    Not great.  Sandwiches are mediocre and pizza is sub par.

    With plenty of other Italian fast food places in the area, this is one place I will not be returning.

    20 years at this location, and it looks it! But they still make great deal sandwiches, especially if you like it "hot" with their roasted jalapeno peppers and mozzarella cheese.
    The place looks like a dump, the staff looks like they are freshly paroled from prison, and the sausage sandwich was completely unimpressive, but that's no matter, because the hot veal sandwich with cheese is still excellent, and well worth the trip.
