Surprised to get such a good sandwich in an office building. The ambiance is very low key and cafeteria feeling with fun rock vibes. Board games on the tables and great music playing. The staff is super friendly and they bring your food out to your table, but there is no table service. I got the "Big A$$ BLT". A classic blt served with heavy bacon and smoked ham. It's a killer spot if you just want a chill spot with some classic lunch options. read more

First time here. Friendly staff. Sandwiches I purchased were very good. I'll be going back!

Alot of sandwich options for breakfast and lunch. They give you the option of getting a fried egg(!) on your breakfast sandwich which is awesome, I havent seen that at many local places. Staff were polite and helpful, and there is plenty of seating. read more

This was a great lunch find on our road trip to Boston. Found on Yelp and our GPS got us here. Don't let the fact that it's in an office building deter you. Great sports memorabilia atmosphere: simple, basic, everything you need. And they have board games if you want to sit a while. Food is super fresh, soups made daily. We had a meatball sub, half a corned beef and a homemade tortilla soup. Everything was excellent. And the guys behind the counter are friendly and courteous. Quick and inexpensive. Skip the fast food chains and eats some good food fast. We'll be back next time we're passing through. read more

Amazing! Such delicious sandwiches! I had the Gumbaya(sp?) with delicious turkey, spinach, garlic aioli, provolone and the most delicious roasted tomatoes! Others enjoyed their Rubens and the bada** BLT. Fun games on the tables were fun too! Highly recommend. read more

Good people serving great sandwiches! They have catered events at The Office Quarters and they were terrific!

This little place can be hard to find. It is in the first floor of a big office building. There is a sandwich banner outside. Once your in, it is a nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is mostly prepared to order. There are some deli style sides that are prepared ahead. Even they are fresh and good. Loved the chili. Sandwiches are like the name sake "old school", fresh made and delicious. read more

Went for breakfast with my fiancé and had a great time. Board games on the tables and sports memorabilia on the walls. Best prices in town and the service was fantastic. read more

Mike catered our Office thanksgiving lunch for 2 days for 2 shifts. He goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I have to say the food was absolutely amazing. The turkey was very moist and tender, gravy was spot on. Mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. Green beans and stuffing was delicious. We picked assorted dessert platter to please everyone It was a huge hit. Overall absolutely amazing ! DefinItely get your next get together catered from Mike, Dawn read more

My first visit here thanks to seeing the Yelp reviews. The location is hidden (see pic attached). It is inside of a corporate building, but there is a 'sandwiches' wind sign near the correct parking lot/entrance. I was promptly greeted when entering. No wait (I was there around 1:30 on a Monday). I ordered a half roasted turkey sandwich and soup. The roasted turkey was fab! Not deli sliced - think actual roasted turkey. Made to order in front of you. The soup was tasteful (chicken noodle). The gentleman checking me out was a bit chatty with the previous customer about his (knee?) surgery, but that is my only complaint. I was a 'to-go' order and was trying to be quick. Total for my half sandwich and small soup was $8.48. Will def be back! read more

Thought I was in the wrong place but luckily there was a large "Sandwiches" banner outside of the office building. I ordered the Badass BLT with candied bacon and ham. It was prepped quickly and the bacon added something special to a classic! read more

Old School Sandwich - Finally found this amazing place. - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Thank you to the top reviewers of OSS. What a gem! I went before the lunch crowd and was able to get a spot in the visitor's parking area. The location inside isn't well marked but you will know when you get there that you have arrived! When I order most anything, my choices are almost always based on the type of cheese that is available and how they are paired. I got a 1/2 roast beef sandwich with cheddar on wheat. Cheddar isn't the most unique cheese of course, but it pairs so well with roast beef. They put a little bit of horseradish mayo and mustard on it- very nice! I also ordered a small crack cheese, which I highly recommend, and a soft drink. It was a perfect sized lunch and the to-go service at the register was friendly and helpful. The staff were loading up a big catering order, which they probably do every day for lucky office workers in Allentown! OSS is worth the visit if you are up to the adventure of finding it! It isn't like geocaching or anything so don't let its location deter you from going! read more

I won't be going back. Let's review the sandwich first: I had the Badass BLT. I guess I was expecting something really...badass, but was underwhelmed. Toasted bread, A LOT of shredded lettuce, two tomato slices, one small piece of ham, and very limp bacon. And almost no mayo - the guy making the sandwich almost forgot it. Now let's talk about the service. Owner/manager (?) yells "ONE BAD ASS" - and I'm the ONLY patron there. And I wait...at least five minutes for someone to make this sandwich. Was it because they were heating up the ham and bacon in the microwave? I don't think so. Now...the kid who I thought was going to make the sandwich, who was dressed for the part of working behind the counter, didn't. Nope - it was some other random kid working on some project or other in the dining room area. And that's ok BUT.... 1. He didn't wash his hands 2. He used A GLOVE on his left hand, which was fine BUT 3. He handled all the food with his unwashed, un-gloved RIGHT hand 4. Then, proceeded to use the cash register with his dirty right hand to ring me out I'm not sure if he is new to working in the food business but GLOVE UP BOTH HANDS! At that point, I should have refused the sandwich and walked out but that's on me. I paid the exorbitant price of $8 (and again, this was two pieces of toast, etc. and nothing to write home about) and left. Didn't eat the sandwich because it grossed me out that there was such a lack of hygiene. I will definitely not be returning. read more

Again a winner. Mom had the Steuben on a Portuguese toasted bun. Sassy slaw was just awesome. Twice in one week. read more

We stopped here for a break on a road trip and the delicious food really hit the spot! Our sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Our daughter enjoyed the mac and cheese. Friendly owner and very clean too! read more

Delicious sandwiches - stopped in on a road trip and were glad we did. The owner and staff were friendly too.

I was looking for lunch options in Allentown and the other Yelp reviews steered me to this place. Unique specials & the Portuguese roll really makes the sandwich! Portuguese rolls are a bit lighter in texture than Italian bread, a little shorter and wider than a normal hoagie roll, with a light, crisp crust. They have other bread options - not everything comes on a Portuguese roll. The boardwalk-style fries are terrific! You stand in line to order and pay and then an employee brings your order to your table. Power 99 FM (Classic Rock) plays throughout the low-key dining room. I have no idea why someone would go to the Wendy's next door... Well, Wendy's would be cheaper, but certainly not as good. ;) read more

Old School Sandwich - My wife had a ham sandwich (on the left), I had a fried fish sandwich (on the right). The boardwalk-style fries were delicious... - Sandwiches Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

The first thing I noticed was the odd setting. The place is set in a business complex, which is the last thing I think of for a sandwich shop. However, I was not disappointed one bit! Everything is made fresh in-house, and the sandwiches are hefty. I got the Mother Clucker and the fried chicken was just-right crispy without over powering the bacon and sauce. Speaking with the owner, Mike, you know right away he's an old-school, hard working guy who cares about his brand. Both he and his staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do, and it reflects in the sandwiches! I can't wait to go here again, and it's definitely somewhere I'd bring friends and family for lunch. read more

We trusted the reviews of other yelpers and Old School Sandwich Co. was amazing. Best BLT I've ever had that's why it's badass! ;) The boys enjoyed their Paesano sandwiches. Homemade chips and Jersey Salts are great on the side. We met the owner who is very nice and friendly. He gave us travel tips for Philadelphia. read more

In a world of boring sub-sandwich shops, its nice that some people are still trying to push the art form forward a little. Walking in, the décor possessed a certain ambivalence to any given theme; one wall bedecked in 80's album covers, on another sports jerseys, yet another with vintage kitchen equipment. I know; who cares about décor in a sandwich shop, well, besides me. I didn't hate it; I had lots to look at. They have an interesting menu, because every sandwich is considered a specialty, made me chuckle. I joked that there were too many choices, and the gal behind the counter said, oh, and if it's not up there, just tell us what you want on yours. I opted for the Mac-n-Cheese / Meatloaf and I think bacon? It was fantastic. Really, the only thing missing is fries, I love fries. They might have had fries, but I wasn't offered any, so I suspect not. Is it too cliché? read more

Do not be fooled about the location. It is in a business district, inside of a professional building. Just circle the building until you find it, because it's worth it! Thank you Yelp, for another great restaurant. My co-worker and I stopped by this sandwich shop on our way home from a business trip. Not wanting fast food, since we still had several hours to drive, we opted for this sandwich shop. At first we though either the address was wrong or our map app was off, but after circling the building (7450 Windsor Dr.), we found the entrance. This is an excellent sandwich shop, the music is fantastic, and the staff is super friendly. Their menu has a great selection of specialty sandwiches (like the Steuben, which I had, and the Paesano, which my co-worker had), locally made, all natural casing all-beef franks, soups, salads, deserts, and a variety of sides. If you are traveling through Allentown, I would definitely make it a point to stop and eat at this restaurant! read more

You need a sandwich shop like this is every town! Fantastic little place. Owner has a unique twist to simple delicious sandwiches. Try the old school sliced roast beef or pork smothered in a sharp provolone, spinach then dunked in a side of au jus. Another simple twist on jersey fries will entice your taste buds as well. Recently opened and you can already tell it has caught on. Lines are forming waiting to taste one of these great sandwiches. Fantastic place so enjoy. read more

Just as advertised. A really good fresh sandwich. Already looking forward to trying more items from the menu.

This is a fast food sandwich shop with restaurants prices... Way over priced for what you get... The sandwiches are good just cost to much.. With the high prices you would think they would give you chips and a pickle... nope !!! Website sucks as well seems like it's setup for big business catering and doesn't care about the walk ins... I wouldn't go again... This building use to be the Windsor deli and I am going to follow them to their new location.. read more

OK, so a quick update - the grilled cheese was good. Like I said before, I wouldn't have expected anyone to mess that up. It's one of those staples... Still, it was good. The tomato soup was also fine. I feel better about the place - enough so that I've added one extra star to my overall review. read more

I don't eat here often, but take my Daughter here in half days at school. It's a great treat, and I'm happy they are in Fogelsville (much closer) than their old Tilghman Square location. Staff is always friendly and hard working. I always have asked for and gotten the Big Daddy made-was on the old menu, and not on the current menu. I LOVE that sandwich!! I will stop over for breakfast sometime and update my review then. Keep up the GREAT work!! You guys rock! read more

Stopped by on a trip thru PA. Got the big daddy sandwich. It was really good. The meatloaf had great flavor and the Mac n cheese was perfect, not to cheesy, it did not over power the meat! I would recommend. read more

This place may not look like much inside, but don't let that stop you from ordering one of the many delicious sandwiches. I had the Steuben and would have to say it was one of the very best Reubens I have ever had. I was asking about their sides you can order, and there are many, and was told that the sandwich would definitely fill me up. However, they make their own kettle chips that are delightful and delicious. So glad we ordered them. Wow, what a great lunch spot. Yes, we were full and very satisfied with our meal. So much better than we expected. read more

Delicioso!!! Was a little hard to find, but the sandwich banner/flag led us right to it! Fresh sandwiches and amazing Mac n cheese! We'll be back for sure! read more

This place is awesome. I love the sports jerseys from the local teams around the area. The sandwiches are huge and have amazing flavor. I have known the owner chef mike for a long time by far the best chef in the valley. Some of the best news I heard today was that he is opening a new location to serve his customers. The old school coca cola cooler is a nice touch. Great place to check out if looking for a great sandwich. read more

In the bottom of an office building now so was hard to find but well worth it. Hot roast beef sandwich was excellent!

I've checked in here 39 times (as of review writing), so I guess it's time to write one. Go here! Seriously. Go. Here. Now. This is honest food that you might not finish but take home and enjoy the rest later. It's busy as everything during the lunch rush so please keep that in mind. The menu is fun and you won't get bored eating the same thing here ever. Daily specials are always on par and what I typically get. Staff are all amazing, attentive and will get you set straight. What baffles my mind is why some people would instead opt to go diagonally across the parking lot to the 'Robin when this gem of a locally owned business is right here. Please, support the local business. Pro tip: get the Jersey salts. Seriously. Thank me later read more

Went looking for a good sandwich place and this place came up with 4 and half star review from 25 reviews. The put a lot of effort into their sandwiches and are pretty friendly here. I ordered the Gume By Ya which had turkey, salami, sharp, spinach, and some other ingredients. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Every bite was as good as the first and it filled me up pretty well. If you're in the area, I HIGHLY recommend giving the place a look. You won't find anything betters within the area. read more

Traveling through from Philly to Williamsport. Came across this gem. I thought, "Old School Sandwich... Shhh." I mean, I'm 320 lbs., how good could it be? I do love my sandwiches though. Glad I came. The owner was even awesome. The service was awesome. The sandwiches were awesomely huge and incredible. I ate mine with a knife and fork. The beans were great too. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. read more

If u are ever in the area of Dorney park, then this is the spot to have lunch. The 3 little pig is very good ! Roast pork is great .... the owner makes all the specials everyday, try the hot dog, it's almost as good as Gray's Papaya in NYC ! read more

Had the Gume By Ya. Very fresh, tender turkey, and lots of it. The Portuguese roll was soft and blended well with the spinach, and pepperoni. Nice 'old school' feel to the place, Owner and staff friendly. Many specialty sandwiches to choose from. I'll certainly be back to try others. read more

After a couple trips... I've had their Prime Rib cheesesteak.. a special based on the advice of a coworker. I was warned it's a $12 cheesesteak... having some cash burning a hole and hungry for lunch I purchased on. it was much different texture than most cheesesteaks I've had (I've had them in about 14 different states.. and HUNDREDS of places) so while not a classic texture, was REALLY BEEFY and delicious. While most cheesesteaks can be wolfed down this one made you savor the taste and texture. The Chicken Caesar was delicious while most local places charge more, the chicken is fresh cooked and great flavor. The dressing is on point and the lettuce was crisp. The Southwest Spinach Salad was the same size as the caesar but MUCH MORE DENSE due to the use of spinach and carved turkey they fit a MOUNTAIN of food in the container and it took a while to get through it all. The dressing is great and the salad is fresh and really filling The service is very personable and the staff is organized. (i.e. an order comes in, gets called to the kitchen and the kitchen responds). Really top quality performance... doesn't look like a bunch of people throwing together food. A REAL kitchen staff. Chef Mike has a great handle on his kitchen. This shows in the lack of frantic scurrying and the methodical completion of orders. While not something that you eat... ensures that the food comes out consistent, high quality EVERY SINGLE TIME. My largest criticism is the brief descriptions on some of the menu items. I'm sure I could get additional details from any of the staff, just seemed light. Granted I can just run from my office to the deli and never leave my building, it's a definite top 3 places to eat for lunch... read more

I've been here now several times. This place is just the best little sandwich shop around. Well worth trying and repeating.

The establishment was not a storefront, instead it was located in on the bottom floor of a building with other business office, it reminded me of a college cafeteria setup thank good for GPS. I had the roasted turkey on a wrap and tomato basil sou... the turkey did not have the roasted taste and the soup was oily. My husband has the grilled chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese... let me sum it up by saying that the whole lunch was not a memorable one and not worth the trip, sorry no pics this time. read more
