Use to love this place. I do not know what has happened, but the food repeats now (canned sauce does that to me) I bought a chicken cutlet sandwich last week and I could not even eat it. The chicken was so hard, it felt like it was 4 days old, cooked all 4 days. It was a rock. I could not even chew it, had to throw it out, waste of 7 dollars. Shame this place has gone to hell. I have tried coming in at least 4 times before and find the quality is worse then Tim Hortons

I went here for lunch on the recommendation of a local resident. I found friendly helpful staff at both the meat counter and at the hot food / sandwich counter. I had a meatball sandwich and it was very good, a little dryer than the Italian style I am used to. The other sandwiches looked really good too with generous toppings and the prices seem low compared to other places. This is a busy place at lunch but service is fast. Worth going back to!

This place is amazing. The ambience is great! they have an inhouse butcher shop which has great prices and explains any question you might have. The deli sandwich here is the best and im def adding this place into my list of regular places to get food. The prices are great and reasonable! I recommend the mixed sandwich and bifana. they are delicious! I got 3 sandwiches, 1 pasta with chicken and a coffee tin for $27

Craving a fresh made sandwich? I definitely recommend stopping in. They also have hot foods like spaghetti; meatballs; cabbage rolls etc. Today, I stopped in for sandwiches for my mom and I. I was greeted the second I walked in; and the young lady who worked on the food side was amazing! So kind! I love when you can actually have a conversation with someone, who seems to genuinely enjoy their job!

I don't know why the lovely girl behind the counter could only serve me a half veal, half chicken sandwich, but I was unexpectedly disappointed at the somewhat large price I paid for something that was half of what I really wanted,, and even more disappointed in the lack of that exquisite Italian veal sandwich taste I expected. Next time may be better but the pricing may keep me away.

It was okay but I was expecting more from the reviews about the sandwiches. I felt they could have used some more seasoning. It's a cute little Portuguese variety store/food counter. I think they had some home cooked dessert thing i might go back for. If you're looking for some grilling fuel, I always see huge bags of charcoal, I at the very least, it's got that niche covered

Amazing like always hadn't been in a few years. I always used to get their pasta with meatballs this time I opted for their shepherd's pie and I was not disappointed. Probably ly could feed 2 people because I couldn't find ish it. They have always been really good with their portions sizes! I highly Recommend eating and shopping here. They are also all very nice.

The local supermarket experience. I needed cheese for my pasta the other day, and was able to run across the street and pick up a reasonably priced slice of Parmesan. They even offered to grate it. The Portuguese tart staring me in the face at the cashier ended up coming home with me too... desert sorted, dinner saved! …

Fantastic home made comfort food at great prices. It's a hybrid store that is part deli / butcher, part corner store, part cafeteria with cold sandwiches and hot food. Ethnic Portuguese foods in the variety store section. Friendly helpful owners and staff. Go on a Thursday to try the dry ribs. This place is a local institution.

One of the best if not THE best sandwich and convenience shop in the city. I've only been once so far and got a Montreal smoked meat sandwich, but I've heard from many it's the go to 'hole in the wall' of Hamilton. Fresh ingredients, good tasting meats and excellent service. Definitely recommend trying it at least once.

I finally made my way to Duarte's for lunch. Ordered the meatball sub. It was nothing fancy but the taste/flavor was fantastic and old school. The bun so fresh and soft. I was not disappointed in the slightest. And the price was great. Cant wait to try others meals on the menu. This will be my go to when in the hood.

I cannot say enough about this True Hamilton Institution! The Owners/Employees are incredibly gracious, kind, knowledgeable and will bend over backwards to help you! They are always happy to help me, especially when I have my two babies in tow! Kindness, warmth, quality and care go a long way! Thank you Duartes!

Friendly family run Portuguese corner store. Sonora Filomina is very kind to everyone. The butchers at the back are very helpful. Their meat shipments are on Tuesdays. The attached take out offers traditional fare at very reasonable prices. I'm so grateful to have this store so close to.

Right when you walk in. The people are friendly. You can tell all the food is fresh. Food is prepared fresh. They follow all covid regulations to the tee. Amazing people, great food and felt at home with great service. A staple to the community! Definitely a must to go for great eats.

Great lunch counter! This family run business likes to keep their customers happy. And if you want excellent meat, I mean super fresh and local, then get to know their butcher boys, by far the best chicken, beef and pork I have ever tasted! Friendly service. Very good prices too.

The best butcher in the neighborhood! Fresh meat from local farms cut exactly the way you want it. Friendly service and authentic portuguese groceries. And not to forget their in-store sandwich shop! Great hot sandwiches and subs on fresh buns at very reasonable prices.

Best place in town for cheap filling food. The meatball sub is 3.50 and your full. There fish is amazing. The cold cut sandwich's are amazing. The spaghetti is amazing. The staff is great, its like I have a Portuguese mom. This place is a great hidden gem in our city.

These people are amazing. This is a friendly, family run business. They are absolutely outstanding, amazing customer service and I am so proud to have them in my neighborhood! I recommend this place to everyone. Stop by for a cheap but delicious deli sandwich.

I like their hot sausage on a bunch, with tomato sauce and parmesan, extra sausage of course. Amazing sauce, delicious sausages. I've had their sandwiches, excellent prices, delicious food. You can tell because they're always busy at lunch time.

An absolute treasure that must be protected at all costs. Ordered the meatball sub with mozzarella ($5.50). The bread was light and fluffy, soaking up the delicious tomato sauce and juices from the meatballs. The bread quickly disintegrated

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Best sandwiches around ! A hidden gem on Barton street, visit and you won’t be disappointed! Hot table full of delicious yummy things too and the desserts by the cash register are …well just try one you will see !

I found out about this place 20 years ago, back when it was a closely-guarded secret; before there was a separate dining area, and you walked to the butcher counter at the back of the store and simply said, "Could I have a sandwich,

Great lunch bar / deli counter. Try the spicy meatballs get a little sauted onion and peppers w sauce and parmasan on top. Or a smoked meat sandwich on a bun. The paramedics and emergency crews all go here. So good and reasonable

Great food and service a highly recommended place for great snack or meal with great assortment of sides available also, they also offer a full butchers services also. The one place in town that sales 50 lb bags of potatoes.

My fav little grocery store. Great prices, lots of imported Portugese specialty items. The meat counter is fabulous, and they make the *best* meatball sandwiches and hot meals to go in the adjoining café. Neighbourhood gem.

Love this place. Food is excellent and staff is cordial. Price is a little bit steep but for the things they offer I am happy to pay for it. Have in mind that this is a Portuguese market and I am Brazilian so I am biased.

Best sandwich anywhere. Just drove all the way from London ON to grab one. Great selection of hot foods as well as fresh and frozen meats and grocery items. Staff are fast and friendly. I love this place.

Awesome food, extremely friendly staff and service is awesome. The young girl who works there for years is friendly and very professional. Definitely recommend to eat there with all my friends

I can't say enough of this little supermarket. Fabulous butcher counter. Fabulous hot table. My fave. Large pasta with 2 meatballs and large roll $6.50. Many hot items including sandwiches.

Great food at this lovely restaurant!! I normally go there for lunch while working in hamilton & their hot foods are the best. Would highly recommend you to try the items there
