    The sandwiches are huge! I would recommend sharing w/someone. There is a bit of a wait. However it's worth it for the food & ambience.

    The Gilbano’s fantastic. All sandwiches here are excellent, but the Gilbano stands out. And the chili. It’s a meat based chili and a genuine delight.

    Catfish Po Boy was delicious according to my husband. Pesto Chicken sandwich was good. Will try something different next time.

    Food was fine but nothing special. The meat seemed dry in the meatballs.
