Regina’s Grocery — Restaurant in New York

TLDR: Food is good, staff is very rude.

I've eaten here twice and tried about 3-4 other times without success. The two sandwiches I had were delicious but all the times I've gone in the staff has been very rude, most of the time not even acknowledging that you're there.

They advertise daily specials but every time I try to order them they say "no only on weekends", multiple times they've been out of a lot of their meats for their sandwiches which makes me wonder why they are open.

They seem to be very understaffed only ever having a single employee working when they really need to have a cashier with some people skills who is managing the customers. My most recent visit was met with me waiting at the counter for 5-10 minutes while the employee did not say a single word.

It tastes like gentrified Italian food and just looks like a carefully curated impression of what a real Italian restaurant should be. Don’t waste your...

Came here on a weekday and decided to eat in. The space is great; unfussy, clean and plenty of room. It seems like a pretty lean operation with only one person working there at the time. I ordered the Uncle John, and got a bag of chips and a coke. The sandwich is pricey but it is HUGE. It’s honestly 2 servings and they absolutely pack it with meat. I actually thought there was too much meat in it. I wasn’t a fan of the hero bread; it was way too tough. Felt like I was fighting my sandwich every time I took a bite.

I would return, but will try a different bread. This neighborhood needs more sandwich shops so I’m...
