Customer Reviews
This was our first visit and we ordered two sandos to go. Both were fresh & delicious. Service friendly & efficient. Sandos are $13.99 each. Dining room is very basic with just a few stark tables and chairs. Don't go for the ambiance. We'll go back again.
I really like the atmosphere of this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are these great big windows with lots of comfortable seating inside or you can sit outside. I liked that there were specialty sandwiches to choose from or you can build your own. I chose to build my own and there were many ways to personalize my sandwich. Then I got my sandwich and.....oh my..... that things was HUGE! Plus, all of the ingredients were very fresh and flavorful! I'm a huge fan!
Quick stop for a morning sandwich. I went for the roasted beef sandwich and it was very delicious. 😋 I don’t remember the price anymore, but the sandwich was quite large so I was full. The place is just a sandwich shop with some tables, I’d say it looks rather on the cheap side and you wouldn’t go for a fancy dinner, but it doesn’t advertise that so I am giving 5/5. For people looking for an amazing atmosphere or decoration just go somewhere else. I would come here again for a tasty sandwich. 🥪
I'm surprised by the five-star reviews here, and I suspect they were paid for. This place is understaffed with miserable employees who don't care. I've tried it several times and was never properly greeted. They started doing more business when they changed the menu to focus more on selling fried chicken. Good sandwiches, but don't go looking for an Italian sub here. I asked for extra oil and vinegar, but my sandwich was dry as bone...asked for extra cheese but didn't get much cheese at all! Expect to wait at least twenty minutes from the time you walk in until you get any food. My Cajun Chicken Sandwich was delicious but tiny and overpriced.
Lots of different coffee offerings. The subs were great. You could easily split a 7" sub (they come sliced in half already). Serve yourself soda fountain. Inside and outside seating. Quick service.
