Sure hope its better than the offerings in Andover and North Reading, you could die before you get a good sub in Andover or North Reading. Same for Chinese Food, nothing good to be found here,,, A guy could starve in this area. I've had better hospital food at Lahey!

China Blossom buffet and Mandarin Reading were both GREAT the last time I was at each.

In fact, CB was my go-to for summer school staff luncheons. Yum!

Yes both are very good, but neither is in Andover or North Reading, so its not a quick trip for a to go lunch. Also both are a bit pricey for lunch, but then I guess everything is now,,,

Thanks!

Having never actually lived in those areas, I've only ever perceived the two "norths" as demarcations of socioeconomic status rather than distance/location!

Got it, and again both are good places to go to lunch or dinner with a group, but if you want to to go special, neither is convenient from my location nor priced as an inexpensive take out lunch.

So a couple of things....

Jo-Jo's number 10 all the way.....

Also people have mentioned the price of sub's at Sub Crazy in Meredith, another recent favorite of mine.... Well yes they are pricey.... The also are a tremendous amount of food.... My wife and I stop and get large subs (she gets a sub in a tub to avoid the bread).... There is plenty of meat cheese and Veggies, that we have them for dinner the day we arrive, and then the left overs for lunch on the boat the next day.... Where else do you get two meals for 15$.......

I have heard nothing but great things about Jo Jo’s subs! It’s been a LONG time since I have been there but do remember their prepared food and meats were great!

I can't say enough about the food at Piccolos in Mboro. All their food is high quality and delicious. The desserts are fantastic, the pizzas, prepared eggplant and chicken parmigiana and lasagna are top rated. The owners are wonderful people but be patient - they can get overwhelmed on peak summer days (just like every other business in the lakes region). Try Piccolos - you want be disappointed if you want real Italian versions of Italian food.
