On our way home from Florida we stopped here for lunch. We've always had good luck at Jersey Mikes…read more But not today. Business was steady but not overly busy for a Sunday at lunchtime. They were out of wheat bread, roast beef, gluten free bread, and small cups. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich and asked if it could be toasted. I was told they could not do that. Really? The lady behind me wanted a gluten free bun. They had one left and would not sell to her because she didn't have an allergy. She left. As I watched, the employee sliced the meat and cheese on the deli slicer for each sandwich. However there was no wiping down of equipment between orders so lots of cross contamination. On a scale of 1-5, I'd give the place a 3 on cleanliness overall. Even though my bread did not taste fresh, my sandwich was ok. But this is not a place I would recommend Danny DiVito would not be happy.

She made my sandwich a giant when it was supposed to be a regular instead. She took it away and used that bread for the next 3 customers behind me! They got their orders and I am still standing there. She then tells me she is out of white bread! Unbelievable! No sorry or anything. She can't communicate to her staff very well and it definitely showed! So I didn't get anything to eat thanks to her. She was lucky I walked out instead of telling her my thoughts! Soda machine was also not working. This place is not managed very well at all. Avoid!

Wanted to grab a quick bite....we actually wanted breakfast, but they stopped serving breakfast and…read moreit was probably 1030ish. Disappointing, but I understand and quickly assessed my lunch options. We decided to order an appetizer and then split a lunch plate. For the appetizer we got the loaded fries, since they were hand cut as we were sitting there. Overall the loaded fries were okay. I think they went too heavy on the cheese and the other noticeable thing was that the cinnamon in the chili was a little stronger than I would have liked. For lunch it was a Big Sexy Burger which had a double burger, pimento cheese, bacon jam and maybe some other stuff. But those items mentioned sold me on trying it. My only criticism about the burger would be the pimento cheese, it seemed to be heavy on the mayo and not as much cheese, but overall a decent burger. I think the real star of the meal was the onion rings, I would definitely recommend these. Now that we tried their lunch, I am looking forward to trying their breakfast menu.

Remember, I'm at the bar where all the servers are at. And they were not that busy. It was Mother's Day. I was traveling and by myself on a hard day as my Mom passed away 2 years ago, and my mom always enjoyed local mom and pop restaurants so I had never been to this place. And when she did she said she was training a new person, ok???? How about trying to train her to take care of customers!! I ordered. And 27 minutes later, NOTHING! For just eggs and biscuits and gravy! She never even came back to me for water. Rude rude!! I finally just walked out. Unbelievable! I spend a lot of time there at the fairgrounds and will make sure I tell all to stay away. I was very disappointed!

If you're looking for a great homemade sandwich for lunch, look no further. Yoder's Sandwich Shoppe…read morehas a good selection of hot and cold sandwiches, made fresh to order from local ingredients. Prices are reasonable ($6.95 for nearly all sandwiches, includes chips, drinks extra), portion sizes are good and plentiful, and everything tastes homemade--because it is. The staff are friendly and helpful, and you'll soon become a regular here. I recommend the French Dip sandwich, and definitely the Hot Ham and Swiss from their panini press on a cold day! They also have a daily dessert item, usually a hand-crafted cake or pie slice, some days cookies are available too. They are closed on weekends, and only open until 4:00pm Monday through Friday, so it's basically a lunch-only place, but what a lunch it is!

From the owner: We make the best specialty sandwiches. Always fresh and made to order.read more

I'm truly glad it was much better than first impressions. First of all they brew their own beer which is a major plus in my book. The blonde was outstanding the Mexican lager wasn't bad either. My sister in law ordered mozzarella sticks. Typically not a big fan. But the crust was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of crunch. The dipping sauce was the perfect complement. For pizza we got the crazy Greek. It was truly one of the most delicious pizzas I've ever had. Just the right combination of olive oil cheese and basil. The bar was a bit loud due to UGA playing baseball. To be fair they do warn you upon entry. All in all definitely worth another visit.
