    Really solid sandwich. I saw someone post their Buckeye, and it sounded great, and I was nearby a couple of days later. I stopped in at lunchtime, and they had a steady stream but weren't slammed. The staff were excellent: the owner, I assume his wife, and another prep guy. Everyone was friendly and helpful and worked together. They have crêpes too, but since I didn't have Kid K along, I passed. You can get a hoagie bun, a wrap, or rye bread. I went with a Buckeye hoagie. So basically a sub with roast beef, pastrami, and turkey. Plus whatever sauces and toppings you want. I got chipotle sauce, lettuce, and tomato, very thinly sliced red onions, and the banana peppers. Held together very well. The bread was very fresh, though a bit too much dough maybe for the sandwich. Everything was tasty and blended together well, both tastes and textures. I will be back for a few other menu items. It is convenient to campus, and prices are reasonable for the modern day. Small parking lot, but there were some openings.

    Frenchi's deli sandwiches were great! They tasted great and were large for the price. It's nice you can customize if you have preferences on toppings too. Their baked goods are AMAZING. We only tried their croissant but you can tell they are made with care and they taste incredible! We will be back to try more of their baked goods!

    THIS WAS AMAZING!! it's like if subway was gourmet, even though they can't compare at all. everything's made fresh and meats are outsourced from Cleveland and the service is amazing! the place was also so homey and just nice hometown vibes in general, not to mention how it's just a little Columbus hidden gem.

    You guys need to try this! This place serves very good sandwiches! My husband got 'La tour Eiffel' and it's No.1 the most recommend! The bread was toasted to perfection, they source high quality and super tasty meat! I also ordered my sandwich for my next day lunch, so I got cold sandwich. I have to say that I love it soo much. I don't know much about sandwich so I let the owner recommend me one with all kind of toppings and turkey and salami! So so so good! You guys just have to try and you will come back again and again...like us! :D I love my crepe too! I wish I can eat right away, generous topping. The owner and his guy were so kind and very nice. This place will be my go-to for sandwich foreverrrrrr!

    I start so many of reviews with, "I've been wanting to come here forever, and I'm so glad I did!" This is one of those places. I told the guy working this, and he said, "Well, where have you been!" It's that kind of "welcome in folks!" vibe, complete with a bubbly employee and open door, even on a rainy night. (I didn't catch his name and wish I would have asked if he was the owner. I wouldn't be surprised if he was, but either way, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He was really enthusiastic about the whole menu and made me, a world-hating introvert, smile and laugh talking about sandwiches.) I got a simple smoked turkey sandwich on hoagie bread with chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, oil and vinegar (I think, whatever was recommended), and salt and pepper, hot. I wouldn't have ordered the chipotle mayo, oil and vinegar, or salt and pepper on my own, but all of the employee's recommendations were spot on. Normally, I actively avoid chipotle because I just don't like the taste or how it hurts my stomach, depending on where I get it. But I'm so glad I was convinced to try it. It was subtle but tasty and gave the sandwich the perfect little bit of spice. It was such a simple sandwich but so so good that I was sad that I had promised my partner half of mine lol. It was filled with enough meat that I was full after eating the smaller half. I will definitely be back here and can't wait to try more! Note: There is no seating, so this is take-out only unless you want to sit on the curb... which some people did, so no judgment there.

There was maybe 5 onions pieces the size of nickels that came pouring out of a sub that acts more of a squishy squirt gun than a sub, lately the bread is stiff and falls apart on the first bite. This sub was garbage Previously I got my favorite, the chicken caesar. The crispy chicken cutlets were so well done that they were hard to bite through and that just ripped apart the now stiff old rolls, and of course now everything is pouring out. The bread is not the same quality a year ago, in fact I saw a delivery of bread and I thought I saw everything was made in house. I'm kind of at the 1,2, strikes you're out because let's face it these aren't cheap subs and feeling ripped off while covered in your subs droppings is the worst feeling, I'm not to eager for a possible 3rd disappointment. The staff is always extremely friendly but it's an expensive sub shop, I want more than kindness.

    Dave's Cosmic %hit Subs... Where do you want me to start?…read more We're in town for the CBUS Blue Jackets and Door Dashed this bull %hit to our ABnB. To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap.

Additionally, having had a Goodman's Deli mile high corned beef sandwich when I lived in Cleveland, I had even higher expectations. Their most popular sandwich is the Reuben so I went with that. Katzingers did not meet them. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich I was shocked the line wasn't out the door to place orders before they closed and the dining room had maybe 6 people in it. There were about 6 to go bags on the shelf along with mine. When I mentioned to the cashier that I was surprised it wasn't busier, she said it'll be busier tomorrow. I said the day after St Pat's? No answer. Another not good sign in my mind. When I got home, the wrapped sandwich was bigger than my hand but not very tall. The paper had areas of grease which is a good sign for this sandwich. The corned beef itself was tender but there wasn't as much of it, maybe an inch high and 1/3 of the bread had no corned beef. I also could not taste the thousand island dressing. The rye bread was toasted but pretty soggy. The crust was mostly crunchy. The bread slices were paired upside down putting a narrower side a larger side against each other. There is not enough sauerkraut and it is not very sour. I was given the choice of a dill or garlic pickle but I cannot tell you how it was because they didn't put it in the bag. I expected this sandwich to have so much meat in it, I could eat for multiple days for $18. Again, disappointed. Maybe I should've gotten the deli sized version but paying that much for a sandwich... The inside of the deli is fun and it's obvious it's been around a long time and has been well loved. I wanted to like Katzinger's but since the price and the quality don't match, I cannot.

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.
