Foods pretty good but not authentic. Had two steak sandwiches and a kids cheese and ham sandwich. Definitely over priced though. 50 bucks. As a south floridian cuban, the wait time is not typical of that of a Cuban place at home and price is spiked. So visitors be aware, this isn't your 5 minute 8 buck sandwich kind of joint like in South Florida. Update to rectify my bill. I also got an iron beer.. Look lady, miami is a busy city. It never sleeps. Blame it on a holiday or whatever but I'm sorry this might have offended you personally which clearly shows lack ownership to criticism. You response shows a lot.

First stop of our trip to Blue Ridge. Very welcoming staff. They greeted us as soon as we walked in, masked where we were from, had great engaging conversation, and explained everything on the menu. Sandwiches were great. The seasonal Piña Colada Rum Cake was incredible! My wife had the Cuban and I had the steak sandwich. The steak wasn’t seasoned much at all but the sauces they offer made the sandwich. Highly recommend.

I've had Cuban sandwiches from some of the original places in south Florida. This reminded me a lot of that. It's a hidden gem, for sure.

Alright, let me be real here. I'm leaving a five star on this joint for the Cuban sandwich and the Cuban alone. It's a little roadside shack set a block off downtown Blue Ridge, so the service and atmosphere are minimal. Walk-up counter to order and served from a window, but the people were nice. No inside seating, but the covered deck is plenty comfortable. It serves the greater purpose that is... ...the sandwich. Oh my God it was good. The homemade mojo pork is some of the best I've had, and I've been all around Florida to the supposed "best Cuban sandwich" shops. This is the best by far. Perfect balance of pork, ham, swiss, mustard, and pickles, as God intended. Bread was nice and they got a nice crust on the outside when they pressed it. Just eat it. I also tried the salted caramel rum cake, which was pretty good. Super moist as you'd expect for a rum-soaked sponge. Didn't taste much of alcohol, but definitely had a subtle rum flavor. A little pricey, but if you're a dessert person, you'll like it. They of course have espresso too, but I didn't get one. NOW GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GET THE SANDWICH DARN IT.

A hidden gem! Doesn't look like much, but a rich heritage in making Cuban food and - rum cakes! Had a fantastic Cuban for lunch - best ever - and a turkey Cubano. Golden rum cake to die for. Make this a stop.

The manager on duty needs to lighten up. Greet people entering with a welcoming attitude. Hispanic (cubans) we are energetic enthusiasts and loud. She seemed bothered by that 😕

Great joint for authentic Cuban sandwiches, desserts, and snacks. This road side shop made for a perfect, affordable, late lunch before hitting the small shops in downtown Blue Ridge, GA. We split a Cuban and a Tampa, both were excellent. Don’t forget to grab a rum cake to share as well, it made for a good sweet finish to the sandwiches. The process is to order at the main counter, and then pickup in the covered picnic area.

Food was amazing, i tried the Cuban sandwich and plantanes. The pastries and empanadas very delicious. Space was limited, it was hard to find a table during peak lunch time.

Chose this place because of the reviews and was not disappointed. Vegan bowl with chimichurri sauce was GF and delicious! Cafe con leche to go with the GF mini rum cake closed the deal. Would have given them a five star but the gal at cash register failed to tell me my number was stapled on the bag. Kept wondering why the number on the receipt never got called lol!

Decent food, but not for the price. Also the blonde cashier was excessive rude when we came it. After paying for their green sauce. When I noticed there was half a tablespoon in the container they told me that's how it comes. None of the other containers had that little in it. When she begrudgingly put more in it she still didn't put the same amount as the other ones. I wasn't asking for it to be free, just to get what I paid for. Pretty disappointed because we routed our trip around this restaurant because of how good it was last time we stopped.
