I so loved the state and city plate decorations! This place is huge! Theres two dining area floors and two entrances that will either lead you in from the “basement” or the kitchen floor. Had their chicken salas sandwich since that was most popular and what they recommended. Bread was perfectly toasted imo

Good food. Unique drinks. Very messy sandwiches, in a good way. Lots of meat on every sandwich. We tried the cajun blt, Caribbean Cuban, and the big bad wolf. All were very good. Staff was friendly. The outside appearance of the place doesn’t look all that inviting but it was very clean and nice inside.

HOLY MOLY! As a sandwich fanatic, this met my expectations and beyond. I was super indecisive between here and the Chip Company but I’m so glad I chose Lorretta’s. I got the Chicken Salad Sandwich and unlike most places it was served hot. Probably the best hot sandwich I’ve ever had!! Such a simple lunch meal and yet such a delight. Total mastery of a sandwich.

Jerry Fox
Very good array of sandwiches and soups. Had the Tuna Salad sandwich and Chicken Noodle soup. Both were great. I should have had the half sandwich and soup. I over ordered. Big sandwich, delicious bread and lots of soup. Very eclectic wall hangings, decorations. Kind of a smorgasbord motif.
