Mocks Bottom Cafe

Great little deli down on swan island. Staff is very nice and they have a wide variety of food at decent prices. I have yet to try something I didn’t like. I would highly recommend the Dagwood but easy on the mustard.

I can’t believe that Mocks only has 3 stars! I go here at least twice a week and I’ve only had positive experience from here. This mom and pop shop has warm and friendly staff who always provide exceptional service – if you’re a regular, they will remember your favorites and get your order ready in no time.
Everything I’ve tried were delicious, and their ingredients are incredibly fresh. The quality of their ingredients are incomparable to their counterparts at Subway that stay «fresh» for years without deteriorating. Their food is homemade, healthy (as long as you choose wisely from their gigantic menu), and very pleasing to the palate ;)

Great experience and environment, the café was very clean and the workers were friendly. I got the taco salad and it was phenomenal. The prices are fair and the quality is very good.

Very friendly and helpful staff, seems like a mom and pop shop.
I had the macaroni salad and the mocks club sandwich and it was very good for the price.
The interior is nice and clean and I got my food quickly.
Very convenient if you’re in a hurry and need a bite.

Sooooooo disappointed. After pondering where to eat lunch I chose this place for a French Dip Sandwich. How can you go wrong with that? VERY minimal roast beef, no cheese, and for $ 6.00 no pickle, a few chips or nothing. Would have rather eaten at Subway and that’s not saying much.

Good food. Good price. Nice and clean. Good choice for office lunch. Staff always friendly.

Mocks is one of the only places to eat on Swan Island and we use them to cater last minute lunches often. The food is always good and fresh, the building is clean and the staff is very friendly. If you haven’t been in a while give them another try, I believe they went under new ownership a few years ago.

For some reason my previous review got filtered which makes me mad as this gem of a café deserves some good reviews. I really like the sandwiches on the delicious rosemary focaccia bread. Its homemade on site and went really well with the chicken parmesan. The people are nice and the place is very clean. Definitely recommended.

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile, and against advice from coworkers, I decided to give it a shot today. BIG MISTAKE. I have never felt less welcome at a business than I did today. The lady behind the counter was friendly enough, and the food was decent, but the man working (I’m assuming a manager or an owner) was very rude. We came to eat before the lunch rush, and there was only a couple of us dining at the time which made it a perfect opportunity for the man to wipe down the tables. Only when he got to our table and we were busy eating, he was unable to wipe it down – he stared at us awkwardly and sighed as he walked away. Then, after finishing our meal, we bussed our own table (which I assumed was the norm), but I was quickly told by the man, as he ran out from the back, that I wasn’t doing it correctly and «next time» I should use a different, larger garbage can. I told him I was sorry about the mistake, but not to worry, there won’t be a «next time». He followed us out the door and watched us leave.
This is NOT the way you run a business, and definitely not the way you spread «positive word of mouth» around the island. I won’t be returning. And I will tell my friends not to either.

If you haven’t tried their food in the last year, give them another try. There are new owners and the interior has been remodeled. If you go to their website, you can even order food online and have it delivered (on Swan Island) for free.

I would only eat at this place if I was starving. The local business employees seem to like it though it may be because of the proximity and isolation. It’s the only food place nearby so I guess it’s convenient. The sandwiches are made of boring cheap white bread with usual ingredients, nothing special. You can probably make a better sandwich at home. Salads are just plain lettuce and a bottled dressing. The hot sandwiches are the cold ones put on a greasy griddle. They also make some other foods like Chinese or other Asian hot dishes and have soups. I haven’t tried any of it because it just didn’t look appetizing.
