About Us...

The term “Grinder” can be traced back to the East Coast, where during World War I, Italian immigrants set up sandwich shops close to the shipyards. Their freshly baked Italian rolls were filled with generous amounts of meats and cheese, and were then baked and garnished with lettuce and tomato. These super-sized sandwiches were a favorite of the hard working men who ground off rivets on the metal warships. The friendly shop owners referred to these men as grinders, and the ever popular sandwiches also came to be known as GRINDERS.

Today while GRINDERS are the heart of our menu and what we are well known for, we were the 2011 winners in the Grand Haven PEOPLE's CHOICE AWARDS for having the "Best Sandwich" in the area. Mancino’s is quickly developing a great reputation for our other menu items including our award winning pizza and our huge stuffed calzones. People come from miles around to enjoy our special gluten free menu.

Mancino’s in Grand Haven has been in business for 15 years, and has been family owned and operated ever since. We live in the community and are part of this great community through many fundraisers to help various causes. All our dollars stay in this town.

We use only the most fresh ingredients. We cut and prepare all of our vegetables and meats in house and bake our bread from scratch every morning. We keep our kitchens open so you can come in and see the operation yourself.

If you have never had the opportunity to experience Mancino’s, please come in and enjoy yourself. To our many loyal customers, we thank you for your continued patronage.
