They still have the table full of hoagies like before, I did find out whatever is left goes in the cooler for people who come in the next day at opening. This time I was able to order a fresh one, now just to let you all know if you ask how, it comes its only meat and cheese, so if you want LTO you have to ask.

I still didn't get a response and again sent an email but it's been more than 3 months and still no response. My only take away from this is that the local store and corporate simply condone and encourage their employees to overcharge customers to help with the bottom line. This is a pitifully stupid way to run a business.

I ordered a Bloody Mary, but nobody knew how to make one, so I canceled it. The bathrooms were stinky and full of flies, with a fly trap sitting on the sink. The counter looked like it had been wiped down with a dirty rag. Our omelets came out greasy, my wife's bacon was forgotten, and my utensil roll had no fork. My bacon, avocado, spinach, and tomato omelet had rock-hard avocado slices and undercooked bacon mixed with bacon bits. Potatoes were just okay but came with no condiments. I barely ate a few bites before I was too grossed out to continue. When I told the server, she just said, "I'll let them know," and still handed me the full check -- no apology or discount. We left cash and got out. Will never be back. Avoid at all costs.

We both enjoyed our sandwiches. I thought the French Dip could use a little more meat for the giant hoagie roll it's on though. Their selections of beers, ciders, etc for both take out and on their menu were great. They carry some really unique items I haven't seen around here. They also carry Rotunda Brewery beers, which is one of my favorites from Hershey, PA. Service was pretty good - it took a little bit to get our checks and then wait for her to come back to get our money. There is some parking behind the building, but there is also street parking. From our experience, we would definitely eat here again.

So I decided to head to primos the next time I was in the mood for an Italian sub. The quality of the cold cuts was good as was the roll.

From a consumer perspective I would like see a bit more meat and wish they had the hot pepper relish .

Walking in I was greeted with a welcome to the gentleman behind the counter telling me about their specials. As you can see in the video, they give you a nice plate full of food. My omelet was packed with cheese and those fresh-looking mushrooms; my toast was toasted on the darker side however you got a nice amount of butter. This was a delicious breakfast; this place reminds me of finding the needle in the haystack. I hope you all enjoy and have a great fourth.
