Court Street Grocers in Manhattan is widely praised for its high-quality, inventive sandwiches that many locals have enjoyed for years. Reviewers frequently mention the 'Italian,' 'Macho,' and 'Cubano' as standout choices, while also noting that the vegetarian options like the 'Vegitalian' are equally impressive. The bread quality is a recurring highlight, described as the perfect foundation for their thick, well-topped creations. While the sandwiches are noted as being on the pricier side—sometimes exceeding $17—customers often find the large portions justify the cost, with some sandwiches being big enough for two meals. The shop itself is small, leading to a system where patrons order inside and wait on the sidewalk for their names to appear on a screen. Despite the tight quarters, service is described as quick and efficient.
