Look at this sandwich. I ordered the $15 Super Sicilian. It's supposed to have "Genoa salami, cappicoll a, imported ham, Swiss, pepper and provolone cheese, cotto salami and spiced ham."
Instead, I got a tiny piece of ham & tiny salami. Wtf happened?
Bread was good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - James R.Kaneohe, HI2076148Dec 5, 2023
What a crazy spot. It feels like going back in time when you walk through the door. A tight, lived-in sandwich shop serving excellent food. Nothing special, but does a sandwich need to be special?
The staff was wonderful during my single visit, recommending sandwiches and even offering a discount. I spent a few minutes eyeing the vintage wall hangings and enjoying the space after ordering.
Then the sandwich came and I forgot about everything around me while I sank into this delicious, simple fare. The bread was my favorite part - soft and crunchy in all the right places.
What a fun spot! Can't wait to go back, might have to add a final star to my review...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 24, 2023
I ordered on Grubhub and drove 20 minutes across town. Apparently pizzas are not available until 2pm but the app let me order at 12.
The girl at the front was very nice but said "yes I saw your order, we haven't made the sandwich yet but it will just take 5 minutes, unfortunately we don't have the pizza yet".
She was nice but other restaurants in the past either cancel the order or have Grubhub call to say "do you still want this order if we can't fulfill the whole thing"?
If they did, we would've cancelled the whole order and not driven all the way there. The owner should update their times so this doesn't happen to other customers.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 20, 2024
Service was good and it's a cool little place but sandwiches were just ok. Not bad but nothing special. We got a meatball sandwich, a hot dog, and a Sicilian supreme sandwich and again, absolutely nothing wrong but we weren't bowled over by the sandwiches.

McGurkee's has been a neighborhood staple for decades and it is still pretty darn good eats. Are they the still best subs in town? Maybe not anymore. They are very unique though. The meatball and super Sicilian subs are very good hot sandwiches and ooze Italian flavor. The restaurant and people are friendly and professional. The building has great history and ambiance.
The sub sandwich market is super competitive and newcomers are making great subs with better ingredients and fresher bread. I would love to see McGurkee's do a menu and supplier refresh to get back on top.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Jan 27, 2013Previous reviewI have been going here for luch for the last 25 years. The Super Sicilian is the best sub in town - bar none. Parking is a challenge but worth the hassle. People are friendly and the ingredients are of the highest quality. Read the posters while you are there. The newpaper from D-Day is a great piece of history.

I ordered the Athenian Chicken Sandwich no mustard . The bread was really good, it had a char look to it however it wasn't burnt . The chicken was cold and looked raw when I bite into on top of that I only had 6 pieces total on my entire sub I honestly had a lettuce sub very few onions and peppers.
The owner perhaps was the one handling all of the money and then turning around and handling the meat and cheese with no gloves, no utelinels just his bare hands.
We went around lunch time , It was busy with a bunch of regulars who seemed to be greeted and treated nicer than others . If i'm in the area I would rather go across the street to Hamburger WorksHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mary W.Phoenix, AZ54221Mar 21, 2024

Terrible. I work close by and I have driven past this restaurant for 13 years and I've never stopped. I wish I hadn't.
Small parking lot with small spaces. No one to greet you when you arrive so I had no clue what to do so I walked to the back of the restaurant after standing awkwardly by the door.
Cafeteria-style service - you order and pay, get your own drink, then choose your own seat. I ordered the Patras pasta with a side salad and a beer on the menu. I was told they didn't have the beer I ordered or blue cheese dressing. I asked for a Moretti beer (received) and a water glass I didn't receive. I went back to the counter to get a water glass but never could drink from it because it had lipstick on the outside and food stick to the inside .
Salad was plain - iceberg lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber, 2 slices of tomato. The pasta was awful. I'm a terrible cook and I could have prepared it. Overcooked penne, a few sliced mushrooms, and tons of what tasted like store bought sauce. I wouldn't serve it to company - never mind serve it in a restaurant!
If you are tempted to stop here, I'd pass.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
