    Friendly staff and tasty subs! This is a fast casual place where you order from the counter, they toast your sub, then you select your toppings. Simple and straightforward. Reminded me a bit of Potbelly. I'd go back.

    The Godfather sub

    Delicious sandwiches and super fresh ingredients. This is by far the best sub shop in the area. The Godfather is SO good.

    I ordered the 'Godfather' and it was buried alive! This is 'Subway' at twice the price! It comes with every condiment possible and wrapped in some spongy bread to mop it all up! There's a reason why every sandwich on the menu can be 'covered' in cheese or 'topped' with sauce!

    Yummy

    I come here very often and the sub s and service is always amazing, I want to recognize one of the workers that we have ordered from a couple of times. Liam has always been very helpful with the recommendations and just makes my day instantly better when he asks about my day while making me food

    a sub sandwich with lettuce and meat

    I have lived in the area for 7 years and have only been here twice. Stopped in today and got a deep dish grinder, which was super delicious and not messy to eat whatsoever (between the pizza sauce and oil and vinegar, I was expecting a soggy mess). The girl at the counter was very friendly and smiley despite being busy with people at the counter and receiving online orders. The only reason I'm taking a star off is price- a regular sub, chips and drink was $15. Seems a little high compared to other area sub shops.

    Do you want a plain basic sub? This is your place. Otherwise, this place just plain sucks. Not worth the money they charge...

    We visited for National Hamburger Day, hoping to use the "free burger with purchase" app deal…read more Unfortunately, the app crashed, and since the deal was app-exclusive, we couldn't redeem it. The manager did try to make things right by offering a 10% discount on our total order, which we appreciated. However, the food itself was pretty mediocre. The burgers were bland, and the tacos were incredibly dry. Surprisingly, the best part of the meal was the curly fries--which tasted exactly like Arby's (ironic, considering this location used to be an Arby's). To top it off, the service was incredibly slow, and it took forever to get our food. On the bright side, the staff was very friendly, but the slow service and subpar food mean we probably won't be back.

    We ordered our food using the app at 6:49pm. The order area was very crowded with people waiting on…read moretheir orders. We did not get our order until 7:29 pm. We were not in a hurry so it was fine. The dining room was very dirty. There was a woman dressed in a uniform sitting in the booth with an iPad, not helping anyone... maybe she was on her break. There was a young man who kept saying, I am sorry we are short staffed today. Once we got the food everything was prepared perfectly and was delicious as expected. They even included free sugar cookies because of the wait. Will be back again

    So one of my most recent favorite things has been this place! I have been trying some different…read morehealthy meal options such as cooking for myself at home (yeah I suck at cooking) factor, home chef, etc but it all just got too expensive or took too much time. I had always seen this little place on my way home from the gym and I decided to stop in and I tried a few of their freezer take home meals. I was skeptical, but as I tried the first meal I couldn't believe how great it tasted, it tasted like a cheat meal if I'm being honest!!! (it was the BBQ Beef Mac and Cheese) and since I'm counting calories right now, how low of calories were in it After enjoying that and a few other frozen meals I decided to order some of the fresh meals from their meal plan that you pick up either on Sunday or Monday. The cool thing with them is it's not a subscription, I can buy however many meals I want, if I want to save some money, I can but 10 meals which makes each meal only $7.70 each. If I had a garage fridge you better bet I would take advantage of the 21+ meals for $6.85 a meal! I'm super excited I found this place and how affordable it is compared to factor and other similar services, not to mention how yummy the food has been so far! The pizzas they have there are AMAZING! If they have the Taco pizza make sure to grab one, or the buffalo chicken one. You can eat the whole thing and it fits within my macros! Also, hot tip, The taco pizza is especially amazing dipped in a bit of plain green yogurt and ortega taco sauce! It is honestly one of my current favorite meals, it also feels like a cheat meal, except it isn't! I had a new smoothie today and it was amazing, ask for a starberries and cream smoothie! What a TREAT!!!! I might just have to go back tomorrow and get another one when I pick up my meals for the week! The owner is very very nice and all of the people who work there are great. They always recognize me when I come in now, which is such a nice touch! This place is a no brainer if you are a busy person like me who wants to eat healthy! The only thing I haven't tried yet is a meal from their menu for dine in, but I plan to do that soon with some friends with Orange Theory after class :)

    I am a girl that likes to eat healthy so I was excited to see this store. My daughter had taken me…read moreto a similar build a bowl type place in Florida which was amazing and I had hoped to find the same experience here. Not so much. I tried the large bowl with brown rice, broccoli, carrots and zucchini, with teriyaki sauce. There was no flavor and the chicken was dry like dust. Diced chicken might be dry, but usually there is flavor or something to give a dish taste and texture. I tried half with the teriyaki sauce and it was flavorless and still dry. The sauce had no flavor even though it had at least 13 grams of sugar according to the nutrition guide. Also there was no zucchini and the portion of veggies seemed pretty small. I wound up adding a little oil to a pan, more veggies and other spices (and did not use the sauce) so that I could eat the rest. Since the name is " clean" Eatz I looked at the nutrition guide to see that there are 300-400 ounces of sodium per 4 ounce portion compared to natural chicken that has this much per 16 ounces of chicken. There should be no sugar in natural chicken but there is 2 g in the 4 ounce portion. Since I had the large, I had more than that but since there was no flavor on the chicken that makes me wonder how this chicken is prepared and its source. Maybe some of the other bowl combinations are better, but I was very disappointed with my experience. I had already purchased some of the frozen meals so I will try those at some point. Also my meal was about $18 with tax which was not worth what I had.

They were currently offering a BOGO Beef sandwich deal for the entire month, if you were a "perks" member, which is different than just downloading and using their app. They have four kiosks for ordering, there was a line and one was out of order. So I sauntered up to the counter and tried to place my order with (what I suspect) is a recent hire, and an immigrant (fine with that). She took my order but it couldn't be inputted, so a colleague showed her where she went wrong (the BOGO is only good for the small sandwich, but that is not stated clearly). In any case, my original $34 order was whacked dow to $14, so no complaints there. I'm not a regular customer, so i don't have any history to compare the experience or food with. Others say the sandwiches are smaller. Or the meat is rubbery. (Latter claim is doubtful, since their only supplier is the legendary local Vienna Beef). In addition to the non-working kiosk, the ice tea and lemonade dispensers were empty and I couldn't get an employee to address that. I do know the food is expensive compared to their competitors, especially the legendary beef joints around town. The founder sold the chain to an investment company a couple years ago, who are bent on expanding nationally, and they are showing signs of doing that. I suspect the new owners have had to find ways to cut costs to pay back their debt/investors because, according to the numbers reported for the sale, they overpaid by a huge amount. I found nothing objectionable about the food, and will return from time to time. Their menu offers other items I am eager to try.
