      Yes, new owners.

      Haters are gonna say 'it's not like it used to be.'

      Tho Destinos crew taught these guys how to 'Destino' before they left. Seriously.

      Same rolls, same ingredients,and same mac salad for folks who 'eat in.'

      Chips on same shelves, soda in the cooler. Register hasn't moved. Still sucks to park.

      It's Destinos.

      Destinos stepped up and helped us with our fundraiser "A Night of Comedy for Katelyn" benefitting the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Their food was amazing! Chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, charcuterie tray, veggie tray and trays of wrap sandwiches were all perfect!
      They helped us serve 250 and did an outstanding job! Everything was delicious!
      Dennis was so generous and his staff was great. We are so thankful for their generous support! Thank you and we Highly recommend!!

      Great prices for the portions. I got a small chicken salad and items from the salad bar. Tables were clean and neat so we were able to eat here. Very friendly staff who served us.

      If I could give this place a minus I would. Our family were loyal patrons and they used to make generous, fresh subs. We had no idea that ownership had changed hands. It's a shame because they are using the same Destino's name and the food doesn't even come close. Our most recent order was sparse and one sub was literally made with dark brown, smelly, bad roast beef. When we called to give them a heads up (just in case someone else were to eat it and get sick) we were told that the person who made the sandwiches would call us back. Several days went by and we heard nothing. Then we were left a message and called back asking for the manager. The person claiming to be the manager was rude and indifferent. In fact they took no responsibility whatsoever and basically said that they get the meat delivered and it is the way it is.
      Too bad they lost a handful of customers and are ruining Destino's reputation in the process. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else!

      I've been coming here for over 20 yrs. Found it when I was living in the area as a teen. Every trip back I'm here just about every other day. Can only speak of the hoagies . Steak and cheese and eggplant parmigiana are my favorite. Friendly staff. If you dine in free cup of soup and salad bar. It's interior is loaded with classic Gloucester fishing heritage. Although price has obviously gone up since I started coming it's still an excellent value.

      We come to Destino's every time we've been in the area, and I've not been disappointed yet. The servings are large (my only complaint being I can't really see much of a difference between the Jr and Sr portions) and delicious.

      We got this for a get together. So not impressed. The meatballs were definitely not homemade and were small and had no taste. Lasagna was watery. Just all in all not a good experience. Not going back in the future.

      A local institution. Ownership changed hands recently & the new owners seem determined to change as little as possible, which is a good thing. If you want a delicious cheese steak this is the place. If you're on a diet, avoid at all costs.
