The food here is average, at best. With 4.6 Stars, I was expecting a pretty spectacular sandwich. When I'm trying a new sandwich place, I want it to be on par with something like Jersey Mike's, perhaps a little bit different, but just really satisfying. This place isn't even on par with Subway, although that is a pretty close comparison. Considering how readily available coupons are for Subway, I likely would have spent close to half of the $50 that I spent here at lunch for three people.
I entered the restaurant at noon on a Monday and there was one person waiting for their order. When I figured out what I wanted, I went to the counter and, even though there was no one behind me, The cashier seemed frantically hurried. As if speed talking, he asked if I wanted everything on my Italian sandwich and what kind of bread, to which I replied yes and that I would like it on a white hoagie roll. He quickly asked me what the second sandwich would be, to which I replied, " I we'll have the lunch special number two." That special was tuna, but he said ham and cheese. Then the phone rang and he held his finger up while he answered the phone and took that person's order. When he came back to me after hanging up the phone, continued with ham and cheese and I had to correct him with tuna. At this point, there was one person behind me in line and I'm sure there was some kind of lunch rush coming soon, but I still couldn't understand why he was so frantic with my order. I rushed along with him to my final sandwich, meatball and made two of them, a meal with chips and a drink and ordered a side of macaroni salad.
The place itself is large, but the ambiance is that of a high school cafeteria. My order was ready pretty quickly, but when I looked down at the order, I realized that he had not asked me if I wanted everything on my second and third sandwiches, nor had he asked what kind of bread I want it. As it turned out, I would have much preferred my tuna sandwich to be on squaw then on a regular hoagie roll, but oh well.
When I cracked, open the macaroni salad and tasted it while I was driving, was immediately off. In some way. There was a tingling sensation in my mouth, almost as if it had gone bad, and the flavor was just wrong, almost as if they had to use something like miracle whip instead of mayonnaise? Anyway, I got home and sat down with my wife and daughter to have lunch. My wife tasted the macaroni salad and immediately to have the same reaction that I did. The sandwiches were fine and we finished them, but they were not exciting in the least. I don't know who is doing the ratings on Yelp for this restaurant, but I feel like I was duped into thinking I was trying a really exceptional sandwich shop, but it turned out to be mediocre (maybe even less so.) read more
