    Been eating at Bluffington's since I was a kid and this is my favorite spot in LB/LF. There aren't many down to earth spots for food in this area, but this fits the bill. Bluffington's is my go-to when I just want a normal meal that I feel is a good value. Can't beat the atmosphere here and the staff are always very friendly. Love being able to sit outside in the summer and the Chicken Melt always hits the spot. Underrated is the breakfast and cheap coffee.

    From the minute you walk in you know you made a great decision. The neighborhood vibe was bustling with laughter and chatter. I had take out and the service was fantastic. I asked for a recommendation as this was my first visit and was floored. Was told to go with the chicken cranberry wrap with a side of potato salad. All kidding a side, the wrap is a top 3 anyway I have ever been. Super fresh, light and tasty. Will be back very soon

    Bluffington's is a small family oriented and a very friendly restaurant. The staffs/owners were absolutely friendly and very polite. The sandwiches were amazing, tasty and served with huge portions. The atmosphere was very welcoming, cozy and almost hole in the wall kind of setting yet located in a town square. I ordered philly steak and I almost didnt finish it with just how much they gave me. My friends had blue cheese buffalo chicken and a Reuben's sandwich which to their comments were really good and flavorful especially the buffalo chicken. The lady owner was so friendly and helpful with all of our needs and constantly checking with us and suggested really good desserts. Owner even gave us free chocolate chip cookies!

    I had the Cajun Beef Sandwich made as a wrap with a side of homemade coleslaw and homemade potato salad, with a Dirty Chia Latte. The food is exceptional. Very pleased with the flavor profile although a bit on the hotter side, be prepared they mean CAJUN! I arrived at lunch time and the place was packed. The staff were extremely friendly and proficient. This was a wonderful find and I highly recommend.

    In between my shift I stopped here for something to eat. I ordered the special of the day, which happened to be a gyro. The woman at the counter was very patient with me as I glanced through the menu, and made me feel welcome. The server was also very great! I didnt catch their names this time, but I know I'll be back again to try something else!

    Went on a weekday, and it was packed!! Continually packed! The lines moved quickly, though. Some of the best sandwiches we've ever had, so we went back for breakfast 2 days later. Equally busy and equally wonderful. Staff could not be more accommodating, sweet, and on their game. Nice outdoor table seating area as well.

    Great sandwiches! Got the turkey Rueben and it was very juicy and super filling. Nice outdoor patio and the inside has a really cute London/England theme. Deserves its high ratings!
