“ Born and raised in Endicott, this has been our go to spiedie sandwich shop. I believe it's the original......decades old. There is no seating. Having both pork and chicken spiedies plus many more subs and sandwiches, Lupo's is a local institution. During good weather, there is a pavilion with picnic tables; bad weather, it's your car or to go. Onions rings are famous, too. ”
“ Craving for their Spiedies years later... It's been several years since I lived in Broome County, but my craving for their sandwiches has me ordering their marinade in hopes of duplicating their unique and awesome taste. The place gets busy at times, but the staff are efficient and the food is excellent. Even when the wait gets long (at most 15 min or so), I've never seen a bad worker-customer interaction. These guys are awesome. ”
“ Been going to this place for half a century, ever since junior high school where it was a 10 minute walk. It's a stand up and order place and if you don't know what you want, step aside and let someone else order. The staff aren't friendly and I don't want them to be. Just give me my pork speidie sub and move on. For 50 plus years this place has delivered the best food and their fry's are to die for. I'd give 6 stars if I could. The best dive place ever!!! ”
“ Delicious and fast! I intended to eat only half of the sandwich h but couldn't help myself and ate the whole thing. Service is efficient and fast (cash only), picnic table outside in the shade. ”
“ Still operating in the dark ages and only taking cash. Impatient counter staff but at last the food is good. ”
“ Consistently great all the time! Quick service and the fries were hot and crispy. Chicken Spiedie sub with cheese and mushroom was delicious. ”
“ I always loved lamb spiedies, but Lupo's chicken is pretty darn good. They pack a lot of meat into their sub rolls. We both got a 12" and could not finish them. They made a great lunch the next day and warmed up fine. Fries were above average. Great value. Lupo's is all carry out and we did not to wait long for our food. Great service. ”
“ I've had spiedies many times in my life, but always at home since I live in Ohio. This was my first time having a traditional spiedie in Binghamton and it was even better than any of the ones I've had. The bread was soft but held it's shape and didn't fall apart. The chicken was very flavorful, juicy, and plentiful in the sandwich. I also tried their fries and they were hot, crispy, and perfectly salted. I really enjoyed my meal here and their prices are very fair. They only take cash so make sure to bring some with you! ”
