Drive thru menu
Lorri D.

Okay, this is not a place that I would normally have selected, but my DH has childhood memories of Schlotzsky's so I wanted to indulge him. When we parked and I saw the picture menu board for the drive thru, I admit that I panicked, but continued. Walking in, this is a fast food restaurant - in case the drive thru didn't give it away - the same picture menu board was inside and as an added bonus there was also a slightly sticky laminated menu. I honestly ordered the first thing I saw...Bacon grilled cheese. We collected our table number and sat and our food was brought out so quickly In wasn't sure it was ours and I had to review the menu for what I ordered...It was ours. I looked at my bacon sandwich oozing real avocado slices on its pretzel bun and I was pleasantly surprised...Took a bite and WOW...this is actually really good. I doubt that I'll be back to Schlotzsky's any time soon, but my first and likely last visit wasn't too bad - minus the fast food qualities of the place.

Normally they are decent but we won't be coming here again. Cinnabon tastes stale and hard also my soup wasn't hot. And where is my extra icing?

When you have a craving for a sandwich then come here! They never disappoint. Always fresh, always clean, and always friendly. This place is in a class by itself. Wish there was one on the northeast (Spring Valley/Sandhill) side of Columbia, SC (hint hint owner)

You could say I am a frequent flyer at Schlotzky's. The staff has ALWAYS been courteous and the food is always hot. I believe I have tried 90-95% of the menu. A few of my favorites have been taken off the menu. I really enjoyed the pastas. The macaroni dishes are ok but not the same as the pasta. I also like the flatbreads and sandwiches. My absolute favorite is the Turkey Avocado Cobb salad with red wine vinaigrette dressing! Delicious, and when I want a sandwich I just choose the Pick 2. One thing I really like about them is that if they get your order wrong they are happy to fix and make your dining experience pleasurable...with NO attitude!

Yummy sandwiches but pickles weren't included like usual. Also, not the best location and bathrooms were dirty.

This is another place I've been eyeing for awhile and I got the perfect opportunity the other day…read morewith a girlfriend when we were looking for lunch places. The establishment is is spacious and they have tables both inside and outside and are decked out in USC pride. I can totally see this being a college hangout spot. The menu is never ending and it's soooo hard picking which bagel sandwich sounds best because soooo many sounded good. And then after you pick your sandwich you have to pick your bagel! Do yourself a favor and look at the menu before coming in so you already know exactly what you'll try. Since I came with a friend we decided to to try two different bagels and the staff here were nice enough to cut them both in half to make it easier for us to share. The bagels were messy but you could tell they were freshly made and so good! We ended up sharing the ridgeland and neighborino. I loved them both but I want to say I loved the neighborino a smidge more. While living here this will definitely become a regular spot and prices here were more than fair for the portions and freshness.

I love Sully's Steamers and have been going since they opened the first one in Greenville. I wish…read morethey would just open one in Charleston already. Whenever I'm traveling locally I check to see if there is one in my path. We were on our way to Columbia for a trip to the planetarium so we stopped on the way up for Lunch at Sully's. When I first discovered them, they had a sandwich on the menu called The Heater, the last place I went to was familiar with it, but this location was not. That didn't mean they weren't willing to make it for me though. I don't know if I ordered it exactly right, but the woman taking my order and I walked our way through it... the sandwich was delicious either way. This time I also got to try The Griswold (Turkey, bacon, provolone, pepper jack, lettuce, bbq & parm-peppercorn) and it might be a new favorite. This location is bigger than others I've been to. They had a bunch of tables inside and a large communal area outside with turf and a bunch of seating. Someone was even having a birthday party out there. Now I want to have a Sully's Steamers bday party too!

Delicious! We are in Columbia for a conference, and just happened to walk into this renovated…read morebuilding with a bunch of little stores. The deli is near the back. The employees were super nice, and gave great recommendations. They have a daily special as well. I got the turkey pesto sandwich, and he recommended adding balsamic vinaigrette. I'm glad he did! It was delicious! It was grilled like a panini, but the lettuce was still crisp! Not sure how they did that but it was very good! I also got a side of pasta salad and the cheese and noodles also had good flavor. If I lived closer I would come more often! If you are in the area it is worth the stop!

Seven of our lunch group went here today. It was about 11:20 or so and they took our orders…read moreindividually and were very quick about it. We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were. On a scale of 10 we would rate it as a 7.3 on the ROMEO scale...Yelp scale we'll give it a 4.0

Took my children to lunch here today & I was very excited! I had only heard good things about this…read moreestablishment and knew it had a long history. It's been around 80 years and today, I was eager to find out why. The whole diner scene is very clean and consistent with how I would imagine it has always looked. The walls are covered in framed historical documents and photographs about the Mathias Sandwich Shop and old signs from the 1940's and 1950's that I imagine are truly original to the era it was hoppin' and bussin' at during that time. It has a very unique feel to it, like a place your grandmother and her family loved to go to growing up in this area. You can tell some of their customers here are patrons. It's a true "mom and pop" kinda place, which I love! Although we ordered a kids burger and a couple Reuben sandwiches, I felt the need to come back and try everything on their menu. It was a simple sandwich, burger, hot dog, salad kind of diner, but each category had many choices to choose from. The food was served warm and with a smile, which is always a nice touch. My son ate all of his kid's burger and fries and my other son ate all of his Reuben and chips. Both of them were very satisfied! My Reuben was also very good. The flavors were true to their mark and very good. The service we received was also great! Parking can be tricky in the front of the shop, so I might try parking behind the shop next time. So, if you're looking for a good well run deli to get some freshly cooked to order sandwiches or burgers or hot dogs for a good price, this is your place!

All four of us enjoyed our sandwiches, which were a Reuben, Cuban, Chicken Salad, and ham and…read morecheese. A couple of us had their chips and the other two of us had their fries. I thought the fries were better than the chips but there is an up charge for that. The service was very good and the restaurant was clean and comfortable.
