“ Richard's always has great, delicious, fulfilling grinders. Our go to for lunch. Service is alway attentive and friendly. ”
“ Want to thank everyone at Richard's Grinders for all of the grinders I have had there over the years. There is no one in the area that has better sandwiches/grinders and pasta sauce than Richard's West Springfield. Had Richard's cater my companies 20 person Christmas luncheon and they did an awesome job...all were quite satisfied with the grinders, meatballs, pasta and chicken!! Again thank you Richard's Grinders! ”
“ I cannot recommend this business. We ordered a kielbasa and eggplant. Average at best. Honestly, have no clue based on what we experienced why there are so many positive reviews. Over the years, have found most of the food establishments in Western Mass to be also...average at best. Locally owned place, so leaving a 4 instead of something lower. Won't be back. But would encourage you go to go because many others seem to like it. ”
“ I "discovered" this place when working close by for three weeks. During my first lunch break I wanted a cold cut grinder, naturally. My first thought was to go to the Big Y right down the street, as I have had their subs before and thought they were pretty good. Long story short, Biy Y had ONE woman working behind the counter during a lunch rush, and I waited over 10 minutes in line before calling it quits, and then desperately looking up a grinder spot on my phone. Richard's came up right away with some assuring reviews, so I felt confident about going there. I did have some hesitation because I hadn't heard of the place, or eaten there, but after reading some of the taste tests I was back in the saddle. I ordered the Supreme Deluxe Cold Cut for my first outing, and I never looked back. After that afternoon I became a regular there. I stopped in every single day and ordered something different (all cold, cuz I'm a cold lunch boy) and never was I close to being disappointed. The Turkey Club was good (although the bacon was a bit tough) and the veggies are fresh, which is a big deal when it comes down to it cuz there's nothing like biting into a limp tomato slice and then seeing brown tinged lettuce hanging out of the sandwich. You won't find that here. Te bread is is like a dream. I fantasize about having a pillow made out of it. The Chicken Philly... Good god! I went off the wagon a bit for this one, but it was worth it. Look, this is a serious grinder spot. They don't play around, so when you're ready for it, give them a try and see what I'm saying. Pure western MA happiness. ”
“ Awesome little mom and pop super friendly staff first time here and will definitely go back. I prefer helping/giving my business to locals than a chain, made it like home made, bread is what makes the sandwich/grinder a cut above and bread crunch and flavor hit the mark, never been give it a chance. ”
