He's the one who suggested Wario's Way for the steak sandwich last time. The restaurant was pretty full and the patio had many happy patrons! This sandwich is a foot long and nearly 4" wide! The first thing I smell when I open up the halves is the pickle of homemade giardinera, solid amount of lunch meat and nice crisp from the shreduce (iceberg lettuce) and the relish. Be ready to unhinge your jaw to eat this sandwich! This is not something you can eat and drive at the same time, it's messy, but that's what makes it delicious. Thank you Wario's for another great food experience!

I thought these were good sandwiches but were on the heavier side. We got the following sandwiches: Wario's Way, the steak sandwich, & chicken cutlet. We also got Wario's spuds - this was like potato wedges w/ garlic, meat, and cheese. I was only able to half of a sandwich. I ate 1/4 of Wario's way, 1/4 of the chicken cutlet, and maybe a few bites of of Wario's spuds and oh boy I was full. The service was great. Waited about 5 minutes for all of this. Great place for a quick bite that will fill you up!

We really wanted Frenchi's, so we drove up to this OG location. No line which is great! A nice woman was working the counter. We got our sammies and brought them home. They were as solid as always, but there's some things I have to note: Frenchi himself always made our sandwiches to perfection. Toasted, hot, perfectly made. The two times we had another employee make them, they are just different. Same ingredients, but different ratios maybe? Today my husbands Eiffel came super toasty and meats/cheese heated up in a microwave (or toaster oven maybe?) My Buckeye always used to come warm, but only if Frenchi made it. Twice now, I got barely toasted and my meat wasn't warmed at all. Also, man I loveeee the house made chipotle mayo but today was just way too much sauce. Yes, I should have spoken up about what I specifically wanted, but part of my reviews need to include things like consistency. Today was fine, but not the 5 star I've come to expect. One star off for the other location being closed and not posted anywhere. One star off for inconsistent sandwiches.

Couple things worth noting: it's tucked inside a neighborhood bar on Indianola. Parking can be tricky but there's more around back and just down a bit closer to Savor. Inside the bar, just head to the back inside window to order. They have a menu with some notes and updates, also. Seems chicken sandwiches will be back soon which might be the thing I try next. Also, on Saturdays, you can order a pound of chicharron for $20. A bit about costs: I think it's a bit expensive. A single empanada is $5. There are price breaks for larger quantities ordered. Italian sub and double patty burgers are each $13. The Appolonia Italian is a decent size, but the buger, even with double patty, felt small. The service is super friendly! The quality of their offerings is much higher than average. Everything tasted really good, no notes. The spicy Italian is a bit spicier than I prefer with their version of a giardiniera on it, but Mr loved it. All in all, a generous 4. I'd get it again and recommend it with my notes so you know what to expect. (Sorry I forgot a pic of the burger)

So we headed north towards Clintonville and decided to go with a classic spot, The Oak. We barely sat down before the bartender was already helping us. We started off with drnks of course. I got an Angry Orchard and my man got a Yuengling, bottles not draft. As the burgers do not come with fries we got the signature Buffalo Chicken Dip with chips for our appetizer/carbohydrate. The dip was spicy but not too hot to handle. My man got the Double Cheeseburger which came with two slices of American cheese, pickles, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. I got the Mushroom Swiss Burger which came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and garlic aioli. Our bartender was very friendly and helpful and checked on us multiple times without being annoying. We will definitely be back again when we are on this side of town.

The menu when I stopped by recently at the Pearl Alley Market was limited to just three sandwiches: turkey bahn mi, ham and swiss, and their 21 day reserve corned beef. I had been kind of in the mood for a ruben even before I saw the cart, so it was like a sign from above. Corned beef it was. And boy was it delicious. Cut fairly thick, the sandwich had a hearty (but not obnoxious) measure of meat. It was griddled so that the cheese melted and held everything together. I opted for a roll instead of the rye bread on the menu. I'm not sure where they source the bread, but it was excellent with a nice crust and softer interior bite. The quality of the corned beef was top notch, some of the best I've had recently. I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. Nor would I hesitate to seek them out elsewhere. According to the operator of the cart, they also have a breakfast menu which they're currently serving on Saturdays at the Clintonville Farmers market. Some of the things he described as on the menu were quite enticing. All in all? A fantastic new addition to Columbus.

I think you need better forks. Your's are flimsy and didn't work well. I'm a big fan.

With so many sandwich shops in the area, this one ranks as my least favorite.
