“ Very tasty greasy spoon! I ate there twice in four days and had the hash with eggs, which was delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm next in town ”

“ Between doctor's appointments in the city, I needed a bite to eat but nothing too heavy, just something to hit the spot. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap with grilled onions, extra croutons, cheese, and dressing (cut in half, of course). My husband and I split it, and let me tell you, it was the bomb.com, fresh, flavorful, and just what we needed. The service was fast and friendly, the price was right, and the vibe was on point. Next time, I'm adding banana peppers for that extra kick. Perfection incoming! Woot woot! ”

“ Best chicken salad bagel in Boston! The staff here are beyond amazing and make you feel very welcome. Prices are unreal!! Practically all sandwiches/wraps on the menu are $10 or less. Can't recommend this place enough! They've been open 41 years in the South End, support local! ”

“ Billy's is such a hidden gem and I wish I knew about it so much sooner! I've ordered takeout from them a couple times now and the service is incredible, food is delicious, and it's reasonably priced. This restaurant feels very old-timey and homey, a real local's spot. What has me hooked is their chicken caesar wrap, which I order with crispy buffalo chicken, which really brings it up a notch. The wrap is incredible and surprisingly filling, with the perfect amount of each ingredient. The fries were nothing special (wish they added some seasoning) but portions were great. I can't wait to try more sandwiches from this joint! ”

“ I am so glad I am back in the South End..I usually get the breakfast sandwiches and always never disappoints. The employees are always nice and friendly. will go more when it gets warmer out ”

“ I love this South End neighborhood spot. I've had a number of items on their menu and have never been disappointed. They do a great, reasonably priced diner style breakfast. The sandwiches and subs that I have tried have all been very good (pastrami, steak and cheese, chicken parm, chicken salad). The pastrami isn't quite a classic New England style red pastrami. It's a little bit sweeter and less salty, but prepared in a similar manner (thin-sliced then heated and chopped a bit on the griddle). It's also much more tender than those standard red pastramis. I've had their pastrami both with the grilled onions and without and, for their style of pastrami, I think it benefits from the onions even though I am not typically a fan of onions with pastrami. The folks who work there are great too. Very efficient and friendly, even while managing a large line. The prices are very reasonable for Boston in 2024 ($8-$12 for sandwiches/subs/rollups). I'm thankful this place is around. ”

“ Billy's Sub Shop holds a special place in my heart. My friends and I visited Boston in 2022 and loved this joint. When I recently visited in Oct 2024 I had to go back. This place is a true Boston gem. The food is a diner vibe - bagels, sandwiches, etc., but I think the service and people of Billy's is what makes it so special. You can tell that locals love this place with construction workers and working class people cycling through. It's also one of the only place I've visited that treats its customers as if they're not located in a major US hub - when we ordered out food they told us to pay after we were done eating operating on an honour type system. This place is worth visiting. ”

“ This neighborhood restaurant is my go to breakfast spot. The staff are very kind and welcoming. The breakfast is always served up quickly and with love. It's located near a hotel so there are always different languages being spoken by customers. It's fun watching people from other countries enjoying American Breakfast. Places like this are disappearing in front of our eyes but Billy's seems to be going strong. They know their niche and they do it well. ”

“ Incredible customer service, and awesome subs. We have been coming here for years. Very reasonably priced. Old-school and great. ”

“ Wow! The subs are huge and reasonably priced. Short walk from my office and it's obvious this place is popular. Around 12pm on a Friday, they were rocking. Got a custom chicken cutlet sub and it was loaded. Made to perfection and the nice lady who wrapped and handed me my lunch mentioned, "I hope you're hungry." Now I know I wasn't lol! Good bang for your buck. One sub is enough to share or leave half for later! Recommended if you're in the Back Bay area. ”
