My partner and I came for a late lunch after visiting Pearl Harbor. The place was pretty empty…read more There's an impressive variety of sandwiches on the chalk board. We each had a sub - I got the tuna and my partner got one with cold cut and cheese. We each got the wheat bread. The bread was really thick and pretty flavorless. We didn't think it added anything to the meal other than as a vehicle to hold the contents. The portions of meat/tuna were fine. Too much lettuce/green pepper on each sandwich masked the other flavors. I didn't see any options for hot or sweet peppers. That likely would have helped. The folks there were nice. The restaurant is well lit and comfortable.

Sandwiches made to order with fresh meats?! Yes, please! It's so rare to see a sandwich shop…read moreactually making their own meats nowadays but this place is setting the bar high. First off, their sandwiches are thickkk! Thick slices of homemade bread, tons of fresh meats, and veggies. This place has been on my hubby's places to try list and we finally checked it off the list! We went with their Turkey Avocado Bacon sandwich. He was so impressed when he saw the worker slicing the turkey fresh onto the sandwich. This sandwich is pretty basic and includes turkey, avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, & mayo. You can add on more veggies at no charge such as cucumber, onion, oregano, & even hot mustard. The sandwich itself was good but for $13.99 I wish they had fresh avocado or added more avocado spread because I didn't taste any of it. Second, the bread was really soft with a bit of a chewy crust. It's made fresh daily so you know it's quality. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich but nothing special. Maybe we have to try a different sandwich with different meats next time!

I was excited to find out that Machete's was opening a location in Aiea! I've been a fan of their…read moretown location for years and love their homemade bread! I came here to pick up some sandwiches with my kids. The space was clean and open. Only a few seats to dine in, though. The store was empty when we entered, and we were the only customers inside. When we were at the register, my son picked up a bag of chips, but I told him to put it back. Then the girl at the register asked him if he wanted it, and apparently, he told her yes, so she charged me for it. I didn't even know until later, after I finished ordering, that I noticed what was being charged for a bag of chips. So I quickly told her that we don't want the bag of chips and put it back on the rack. Other than that, the sandwiches were fine. They seemed less thick and full than the other location, but maybe it was just ours that day.

What sets Machete's Mean Sandwiches a part? Their pillow soft bread that's baked fresh daily!…read more It's like a homestyle sandwich but their pillow soft bread takes it to the next level. This location is a small grab n' go situation. Parking can be tough in the area-- so I definitely suggest ordering online for pick up or delivery. I ordered their turkey, bacon, and avocado. Which also comes with lettuce, tomato, and I added cucumber to it for an extra fresh crunch. I ended up only eating half of my sandwich and then eating the other half hours later and it held up well! An awesome lunch choice, especially if you're on the go or possibly a great travel day sandwich. I had a great conversation with the guy behind the counter- super friendly staff. Just be warned, parking is tough and there's really no place to sit and eat your sandwich there.

I love the fresh jalapeño that come in it which I've learned not everywhere will offer or put this in your sandwich. I will say that the French baguette they use is pretty hard. The roof of my mouth is always raw after just one sandwich. I wish they offered a side of pho broth to dip and possibly make the bread less hard. This is my only downside, but not enough to take a star away.

The bread itself isn't those hard baguettes that cut the roof of your mouth. But it does have a nice crunch on the outside & soft in the inside. I love the vegetable to protein ratio also! Definitely worth giving a try and supporting small business :)

Made a quick stop to buy a quick meal before heading over to the airport…read more Just like their slogan: Fast, Fresh and Friendly. I'm amazed how fast they were when making sandwiches for me and my parents. The workers were attentive and swift. There was an assembly line of them making the sandwiches in house. It was towards the end of the day so they ran out of most of their choice's of bread , tomato, and sprouts (complimentary toppings) which is no biggie. Ordered three "Vinny" which is like an Italian sandwich with wheat bread (which all they had that night) my choice of seasonings, oil and red onions. It was well made sandwich wrapped nicely, no spills since I had some oils, however I prefer to try that sandwich with a different bread next time and wish there was a little more protein. Inside the shop, was very clean, but bright like being in a yellow blue submarine that's trying to be tropical. Overall, it's a friendly atmosphere with the walls giving "military on tropical island vibes" lol I mean it is near base and they do have some variety of vickies and utz chips at the front of store. Will be back next time to try other options.

The flavors were on point, perfectly balanced, and seriously satisfying. Even with a solid crowd when I came in, they moved at a great pace and had my order out pretty quickly, which I definitely appreciated. The shop itself is clean, well kept, and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their establishment. Now here's my one (very passionate) request: as a sandwich spot, I would LOVE to see a true NYC bodega style chopped cheese added to the menu. Ever since my trip to New York City, I've been reminiscing about those chopped cheese sandwiches nonstop. There's just something different about them. It honestly surprises me that on the island we can find cheesesteaks everywhere, but not a single place offering a legit chopped cheese! If you guys ever decide to add a proper chopped cheese to the lineup, I promise I'd be a weekly regular without hesitation. I know I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! Until then, I'll definitely be back for another Earl's Cheesesteak. Solid food, clean atmosphere, and great service. Keep it up, and please consider bringing a chopped cheese to the island!
