“The best sandwiches I have ever had. I used to go 35 years ago and I forgot all about this hidden gem. I started working in Watertown and looked it up and ordered and now I'm hooked. They pile on the meat and you get to pick your toppings. I have had 4 different sandwich and i'm OBSESSED with themI'm going to start getting my deli from them because their meat is soo fresh.BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!!”
“Five Below is honestly such a fun store!! You never know what you are going to find which is part of what makes it so great. They have everything like cute decor, candy, clothes, phone cases, journals, and random stuff you did not even know you needed. The prices are amazing and it is one of those places that can instantly boost your mood because it is so colorful and chaotic in the best way. I always end up leaving with way more than I planned to, but I am never mad about it. Definitely one of my favorite spots for a quick serotonin boost.”
“Nice little spot to grab some cheap toys for the kids. They’ve got a good mix of candy and all kinds of random stuff — always fun to poke around and see what you find.”

“Came across this location in August and it's a huge store with a nice variety of cute everything I ended up getting casual and pants there with sunglasses for 15 bucks. You can't beat it.! Service was kind of lacking there was really like one person and when you check out there's a bunch of self-service too.”
“First, what I hate about Five Below! As a corporation it's making us do self-checkout - Y-ACK ? Now what I like about it! The associates are super friendly and helpful. You get greeted with a warm hello as you walk in the door and they happen to be there. Then, there is the selection of tchotchke, whether electronics, candy, makeup, etc you'll end up buying more than you thought you were planning.”
“Manager changed, a little more staff, and the store looks much better.
Now if only customers could stop abandoning and/or hiding the things they decide they don't actually want to buy. Just hand it off to a staff member who can put it away.”
“This convenience store is a true neighborhood gem—always clean, well-stocked, and easy to rely on. It’s one of those small places that makes the community feel warmer just by being there.
Danny, Frankie and Rocky make this place feel like you’ve lived here your whole life. Their responsiveness to any request and genuine care of their patrons is apparent.”

“Awesome small community store . Nice place to surprisingly come across long lost buddies . They've keno and all that, patient people don't rush and greet with smile . They treat customers like their own family or friends.”
“I was there yesterday, and I found the store to be well stocked, clean, and the operator courteous and friendly. They took my money, and it was less than I expected to pay, and the product was good --- so it IS a real store. I would drop in again. As for other reviewers, I have to give them one star. Some people!”
“They are open! Easy to stop in and grab what you need! The owner is all about the community. I spent a good half hour talking to him. Security cameras installed. Watching the street and the building. They are just getting going again and I could tell he’s very motivated to be at 100%. I could tell he wants more for the store but has to rebuild. Completely worth stopping in.”
“I went to a Quincy market in Quincy, is this one related or just same named. Regardless place is good. Just don't expect to run in and out in 10 seconds on weekend nights. It gets busy and the clerks are good and precise with your change.”
“It's nice to buy a soda or something at a place that doesn't say Walgreens/CVS/711. Not enough little stores like this left. My only one gripe would be to ask the guy who works there to take a shower and use deodorant. Other than that he gave me good advice on cold medicine last year.”

“May 2023:4: I could recommend this location. I stopped by this location as a result of needing a few things before I continued on my way. I grabbed a few scratch tickets, a couple of drinks, and some snack food items. The store was fairly clean and orderly upon my arrival. It was a location adjacent to a main street that was easily accessed from two different roads. There was no visible handicap parking in front, but plenty of parking spaces available. The cashier was competent and friendly.”
“Everyone is always nice 2 me here... pretty quick and efficient... and there are a great variety of snacks 2 choose from for boston... even microwaveable stuff to take home.... the location sold it for me.... a few blocks from Carney Hospital...”

“This is a fun and quirky 99¢ shop. You can find clothes, hardware, toiletries, kicknacks, and fish here. Most of the things I found were more than 99¢. But the prices were low and there were a lot of unique items.”
“A family friendly variety store with lottery. Usually good customer service and prices do reflect the convenience of items. They even have a slush puppy machine! Reminds me of my childhood and my kids enjoy it too, especially during the summer when playing at Lazzazzarro's park.”
