This is a hard review to have to write, due to my love of Baldino's subs. I haven't had a Baldino's…read moresub in over 10 years due to not having a location near enough to my house or my visits around the country, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a location in downtown Macon, which was not far off the highway, so I took my life and sanity into my hands by chancing a drive through the mess that is downtown Macon. While the location of the deli is in a good spot, be careful where you park. I got inside and ordered from the owner/manager, a friendly and pleasant woman, and proceeded to wait for my order. 2 simple sandwiches, no special ingredients, made the "Baldino's Way", and after waiting for considerable time for the employees to make the order (they were busy laughing and talking amongst themselves and getting orders wrong left and right, and literally laughing over the sandwiches, as in LEANING OVER and laughing) I got my order and left. We ate our sandwiches on the road since we had a long way to go. Worst sandwiches I have had. Absolutely LOADED with oregano (see pic of tomato doused in oregano) and zero oil and vinegar on either. Horrible taste with all the oregano and lack of oil and vinegar. I had to apologize to my brother for suggesting Baldino's, he probably won't take a chance in another location. Note to owner/manager: ask your employees to pay attention to what they are doing, don't talk and giggle with your face inches from a sandwich, and stop lollygagging when you have multiple customers waiting. This place won't survive long if they keep getting reviews like mine and others I've seen on here. What a shame.

This place is a throwback. I haven't been in years on years. But it is still awesome. I got the…read moreItalian Battalion full size. It was WAY too big for me. Just half was very filling and I had them wrap the rest. The meat on this thing is over an inch thick. It is crazy. But tasty. If you are really hungry this thing will bring you back to life. In a world where are sandwich chains are cutting costs with less meat or lower quality these guys are still packing a wallop.

The $40 ribeye is worthy of double to triple the price. I'm from Charleston and this beats out steakhouses there. Service is amazing as well. Aidan is unbelievable!!! Give this man a raise immediately, if not sooner. Haven't met a server this great in years. I guess I'll have to stop back here again randomly! Just had to update because the deserts.

I will say that I strongly prefer take-out because the atmosphere inside has been a little depressing both times I have been there. However that seemed to be more of a "mood" issue with the patrons than the fault of the people running the place. The location is right by the hospital so it pulls in a lot of stressed people who are visiting sick loved ones or tired hospital employees on break.

I had the Choose 2: Salad & Potato. I also tried their new Party Punch (Desert pear lemonade) which is 100/10! I tried the Mardi Gras Cookie it's pretty good. 6/10. When dining it seems we arrived during their lunch rush as it was a bit busy but our order was taken and our food arrived quickly. I had a Choose 2, but this time with Salad and Soup. The outside of the restaurant and row of stores were littered with trash from the Wing Stop next door. Smh. Hopefully they don't run this location off!

This dude Derrick was working so hard. He was fixing orders, taking orders to the table, and bagging orders. I saw my cheese and sour cream and asked if my pickle was inside. He didn't get an attitude. He politely said yes. The bagging and presentation of my food was so nice and the food is good. I hope he's there whenever I go to that location. Thank you so much!

Let me say this first. I used to not be impressed with these subs both size and taste wise. But…read moretoday was a totally different experience. I no longer eat Subway if you read my last post. So I had a tmobile bogo reward for Hook & Ladder subs that expired today so I was gonna get that but once I downloaded the app, Firehouse issued me a 50% off offer for first app order so I used that instead and got the sub of my choice which was the Club. When I arrived he was making my sub and everyone I encountered was so nice and friendly. The sub is huge and the ingredients so very fresh. The pickle spears are how I remember.....GOOD! I got extra this time. I love the sturdy cardboard containers for the subs. My only con is I didn't see any bacon on my sub so I still felt like it was a Hook & Ladder instead of a Club. I see the rating is low for this location and I'm sorry for the others who had bad experiences but I can't speak the same. I will definitely return.

Update Food Review: Taste wise the food is 4/5 on flavor. But for freshness 3/5. The BBQ and birria meat looked like it was not prepared that day. Steak meat was fine. I loved that the steak taco was double shelled. The food wasn't the best I've had or the worst. Just meh..I don't think I would try any other items.
