Big Bertha's Grill

The Sandwich Shop With Portions Too Big

Big Bertha's Grill at 499 Mountain Home Rd in Sinking Spring, PA 19608 represents that outdoor seating work lunch spot where massive fresh roll sandwiches like the Cheese Italian Belly Buster create portions so huge the reviews warn "Sandwiches WAY too big!" earning mixed 3.5/5 for size vs. execution with soggy fries but tasty flavors.

The Belly Buster That Overflows

The Cheese Italian Belly Buster is their signature massive sandwich—fresh roll packed with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion overflowing the bread. The "Belly Buster" name warns you about the size, and reviews confirm "WAY too big!" suggests these sandwiches are genuinely difficult to finish. The fresh roll (probably a local Italian roll or hoagie) is the foundation—soft inside, crusty outside. Packed with cheese (probably provolone or American), crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, and onions, it's a simple but generous Italian-style sandwich. The Cali Cheese Steak shows a West Coast twist on the Philly classic—cheese steak (thinly sliced beef with melted cheese) topped with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sauce. The lettuce-tomato-mayo combo is "California style" vs. traditional Philly which usually just has cheese, onions, maybe peppers. The reviews suggest checking if there's sauce as it might be missing or inconsistent. The Large Fresh Cut Fries are noted as soggy but tasty—fresh-cut (hand-cut potatoes, not frozen) but perhaps not double-fried or drained properly, resulting in sogginess. However, the taste is still good despite texture issues.

The outdoor seating (probably picnic tables or patio) is perfect for Pennsylvania weather spring through fall. Work lunch crews appreciate the huge portions (value for money, filling) even if it means taking half home. The order-ahead recommended indicates they can get busy during lunch rush—calling ahead ensures your massive sandwich is ready when you arrive, maximizing your lunch break. The mixed 3.5/5 rating reflects the tradeoff—huge portions and fresh ingredients vs. execution issues like soggy fries and occasionally missing sauce.
