Any time I’ve ever come in here everyone is friendly and inviting. Food is super prompt- today it was so fast that I ordered my sandwich 5 minutes down the road and by the time I got there it was already!! I’ve never had a bad experience at this amatos. It’s my favorite go to place for lunch when I’m working! :)

Stopped by as it was recommended for a place for a good local cheap eat. We got the cheese bread and meatball sandwhich. Both were delicious. Though it is mainly for take out, there are some tables to dine in. The tables were a little dirty, but someone came around cleaning them right when we sat down. Great price for $12 for a footlong sandwhich which we shared.
