Crema's Take
“Cutty's is a no-frills Brookline sandwich shop that's earned its reputation the old-fashioned way—by refusing to cut corners on quality ingredients and care, even as years pass and pressure mounts. Their sandwiches like the legendary beef 1000 and rabe T.J. arrive thoughtfully wrapped and bursting with fresh flavors, making it the perfect spot for a quick, delicious grab whether you're a devoted local or just passing through. With a loyal following that spans from Super Bowl Sunday crowds to everyday neighborhood regulars, this is the kind of place that proves consistency and love for the craft never go out of style.”

Something I wanted to share about this place that is very under appreciated is that the quality hasn’t dipped at all over the years. Times are tough and so many of my favorite spots are skimping on quality and quantity. My favorite pizza spot switched to awful plastic cheese, my favorite burger spot started using freezer patties and my favorite diner gives portions half the size they used to. I keep saying I wish they’d keep it the same and maybe just charge a little more but so many spots are racing to the bottom. Cutty’s is an exception and should be respected for how much they care about quality food.
Y’all made this out of towner very happy! I was in town visiting for work during their Super Cluckin’ Sunday event and I feel so lucky that it worked out for me to grab a bite here. As a Southerner, the BBQ Ranch is a damn good sandwich. It was so well balanced with the right chicken to bun ratio, and just the right amount of sauce to keep things saucy without being messy and maintain a crispy crunch. Cutty’s will be a regular stop on my list when I visit, because good Lord that was a tasty bite! Thanks for the excellent “Sunday Service.”
Ordered the beef 1000 which was as perfect as a sandwich could ever get. My vegetarian friend got the rabe T.J. and I tried it. The beef 1000 was definitely better. There’s no seating so we ate in the nearby picnic area by the town hall.
Local takeout spot Where each sandwich delivers Fresh ingredients No shortcuts taken Crunch, flavor, food to share Or enjoy solo Everything with love For all Cutty customers New and old foodies Or someone that needs A sandwich to satisfy Cravings and hunger I ordered the Rabe T.J and I was a little nervous the broccoli rabe would be too hard or soggy but it was perfect and not messy to eat. You could get a clean bite every time. Other sandwich ordered was a warm, pressed ham Dijon. A simple sandwich yet perfect and flavorful. Not something to pass on or overlook. Both sandwiches blessed by chef kisses. So good
Cutty's is a great neighborhood sandwich place. Their sandwiches are made with really good quality ingredients and care. You can tell by the way that they package everything. Our favorite sandwich is their pork rabe that's offered usually on weekends. Due to the pandemic, it's not on the menu often now. So, when available, we always get it. It has a great combination of salty roasted pork, broccolini and a bit of cheese on a crispy roll. The fried chicken sandwich is very popular and is a large portion. The tomato soup is very tasty. The ham pimento sub has great flavor but too much bread to ham ratio. We have noticed that the turkey and roast beef sandwiches have gotten smaller over the past couple of years. So, one sandwich is not enough to be full. Still, it's a great sandwich shop with good food.
