While passing through we found this spot on Yelp. We were really happy with our choice. We had the Cuban and the spicy chicken sandwiches. Bread was toasted and sandwiches made fresh. We noticed while we ate it must be a locals place as well, because everyone that came in the owner knew. The owner is super nice and friendly. Highly recommend this spot and will stop by again if in the area.

If "you can't sit with us" was a person it would be Debbie! I was completely appalled with the response I received after having to answer about 15 questions asking what type of services are we looking for from them. Then way at the bottom you asked what is our budget and what are we willing to spend for food. And when we give you our budget you turn us away with a nasty nice message basically saying sorry unfortunately we can't accommodate you but thank you for reaching out to us though! Well shit put what you charge on your website then and don't have people answering questions where you turn them away!

We had Forks and Fingers cater our wedding! Debbie DeGeorge was amazing. We also didn't hire a wedding planner. Debbie provided us with lots of great input prior to the wedding. Debbie is friendly, knowledgeable, hard working, compassionate, fun, and just an all around wonderful person. She made sure we ate during the reception and even took a few great candid shots of us. I felt she had everything under control. I almost forgot to mention the food! Everything thing was so tasty, wonderfully prepared, and presented. They have all of our future business.
