Super yummy sandwich ship. They are friendly and speedy

REALLY good sandwiches. Take out only. We had the meatball sub, Italian, hummus wrap (we have since kicked that friend out of the lunch group), and roast beef. The bread is soft and tasty. All the fillings were fresh and well seasoned.

Hands down the best sandwich spot on island! Quality and consistency is 100%! It’s been 5 years since I got the chance to enjoy a sub, and I was met with the same taste and comfort as I remember. Such a pleasure to see you Syd! Thank you

I have been coming here for 20+ years. Consistently delicious. I always get the chicken parm and it’s sooooo good! The bread is soft and wonderful. Don’t miss the cookies- also outstanding!

Well... It's hard when a lifelong favorite let's you down, even if only a little. I grew up - 50+ years ago - on Cheese Specials (hot on Syrian LTOP Russian dressing & hots) -- an all-time great sandwich!!! This one was still delicious, but didn't live up to the millions I've eaten in the past. I could taste the apathy with which it was made... ("Where's the Russian on the *rest* of the sandwich???..." LOL) I'll be back... Of course!!

Let me start by saying that the photo clearly doesn’t do it justice. I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Despite my last trip to Nantucket being less than a week, I came here twice for a meatball sub. Wish I had one now.. yum!

By far the best sandwich shop on nantucket! They make their own bread which is out of this world! Despite the increase in food prices throughout the country Henry's Jr is still more than reasonably priced. It's quickly becoming a can't miss stop for locals and tourists alike.
