    This place is incredible.  

    Great subs, quality bread.  I recommend the large BLT.  Or any of the hot chicken subs as well.     Tuna is topshelf as well.   Reasonably priced too, 6 or 7 squids for a large, or 5 for most mediums.

    They also have very good samosas, but not every day.   The guys who run it are Indian, and they make the samosas as a cold deli item.  They're really good if you take 'em home and heat them in the oven.

    There are lots of Indian spices and heat-and-eat packets too.   They carry one of my all-time favorite hot sauces, Maggi.  Ridiculously good hot/sweet sauce from India.   I had never heard of it until I happened upon it at A&A.  

    Scratch tickets, gatorade, newspapers, subs, snacks, tobacco, magazines, pretty much anything you'd want here except beer.   Sometimes they even have KETCHUP CHIPS!   If you haven't tried them, well, you should.  

    Good spot, quality grub, very friendly staff.   Paradise.

    This place has any sub you could want...and they use boars head meats which is always good...

    the window says they have tacos and burritos but there weren't any on the menu? not sure if this store used to be a restaurant?

    This place is really a convenience store with a small deli counter so there are no comfy couches, foofy cappuccinos, or freshly baked cookies...just subs

    I got an Italian and the bf got thanksgiving...I don't remember what they call it. Anyway, they were both good but the Italian was seriously lacking some meat. Usually Italian subs are stuffed. this one had one slice of 3 kinds of meat....but other than that. It was delicious. The thanksgiving sub was good but not great. The stuffing was extremely cold...almost like it was in a freezer...and it was pretty bland. basic cornbread mush. It would have been nice if it were toasted perhaps.

    Overall decent sub place...

    The gentleman that run this business are so very polite & kind!
    They have made a lot of changes in the past few months and the quality of their food is pretty good. I like that they have a lot of good homemade stuff, that is fresh daily.
    The prices of the grocery items very fair, especially for the conveinence of having them next store to us! :)
    They now have Boar's Head meats and the prices are really fair - way cheaper than Stop & Shop down the street.
    I highly recommend giving the A & A a try.
