Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I gave this restaurant a 3 based on the food flavor only. The staff at this restaurant are very friendly We arrived in the area late evening. Our hotel staff said this restaurant was a good place to eat at Considering it was off season...not many places were open. We did not have pizza but instead the chicken wing bites and chicken walnut cranberry salad. The chicken bites were very crunchy as if they were over cooked (however after dining a 2nd night in the area at a different restaurant we realized it the type breading used at these restaurants). The bbq flavor on the bites was good though. The chicken salad was ok but when delivered to the table had a strange odor. Being that we had been on the road 7 hours and not much open in the area we enjoyed the best we could. Maybe it’s a regional flavor difference. Not sure. We did notice lots of vehicles at this restaurant and a lot of to go pizzaMore

I got take out dinner from Famous Pizza and Subs in mid-February 2024 while in town on business. It is off season and there was not much open for food on the island. I was a little skeptical about eating here after my food experiences...of the past couple of days, but this place proved to be a gem. There is a moderate amount of parking, but people seem to flow in and out pretty fast (a lot of take out, and some eat in). The atmosphere is “pizza shop Italian”. The young lady at the counter was pleasant and happy to take my order. I ordered a cheeseburger sub (full), a small Greek salad, and small onion rings. The order came out in about 10 minutes. When I got home, it was still fresh and hot. The salad was very large for a small and had lots of “junk” on it (including lots of olives, peppers, and cheese), not just a pile of lettuce. The sub and onion rings were very good. The rings were fresh and crispy, but not oily. The sub was full with a lot of meat, not just toppings. I enjoyed the meal quite a bit. If you’re in the area, I might suggest skipping some of the higher priced “fancy” restaurants and come here instead.More

Staff is friendly and accommodating. Food has always been tasty and good quality, and our visit this time was no exception. We ordered subs the first night on the island and burgers the last night. Both times we experienced quick service, tasty bites and no...order errors at affordable pricing.More

We ate here 2 different nights, one we had cheese steaks, the other the pizza! You can't go wrong with the food here, its decent, priced fair, and the service is some of the best on the island.

One of the best venues for those of us who must eat gluten free. Never an error! Seldom do we get away with just one meal during a week. Usually it's 2 or even 3. With leftovers for lunch, too!

First time here…ordered online, food was ready as promised and hot. We ordered cheesesteaks and bacon cheese fries. Cheesesteaks were very good. We ordered both beef and chicken. Only change we would make is to have american cheese instead of provolone. Bacon cheese fries were...sooo good!!! Prices were reasonable.More

The pizza was so good we went there twice during our week there! We had the meat lovers both times. The crust was perfection. I also really enjoyed the Greek salad full of olives and pepperoncini's!

Food was decent. Good set up in that you order and then grab a seat and there are lots of seating, which means you get your food quickly. I had a grilled cheese which was slightly bland but otherwise fine and French fries which were...crispy and tasty. My husband had a cheeseburger sub and it was a basic sub, middle of the road, no complaints. Felt like mom and pop basic local sub shop food but in a place that looks recently renovated and has a better flow to it then the typical local sub shop. We will likely come here again next time we vacation in the area.More

The menu lists fries and other items as gluten free when they aren’t. The staff is adamant that even though their food has cross-contamination, it is “gluten free.” Don’t believe the lies. The only truly gluten free food is their cauliflower crust pizza, but can...we really trust that it has zero cross-contamination?More

We visited off season but this restaurant seems to do good business year round. We got an order of ten wings, fries, and a salad to split and were quite pleased. We would return to try other items next time we are in town.
