    I'm fortunate enough to have found another fantastic sandwich shop! This place is next level. It's not a fancy spot but it is delicious, clean, affordable and the workers are very nice. I love it when restaurants hire the appropriate amount of employees instead of just one person running around doing everything. The ambiance is fine. Kinda like I imagine a factory cafeteria would be. It's located right off the 99 on Kansas Ave. by the Spark hotel. Go get yourself a sandwich.

    Chicken Club Sandwich

    Heard this place had great sandwiches. I ordered club sandwiches it was okay. As for price sandwich not terrible on cost, however the EXTRAs add ons $2.00 that's a ridiculous price on my opinion. Service great people nice and friendly. Now the place definitely needs a deep cleaning, ceiling fans extremely dusty you can see dust balls on the fans, wall signs super dusty as well. Now behind counter also in a need deep of a cleaning. I am leaving it at that.

    My Son and I were looking for a sandwich place . He found this little gem . Large very clean Mom and Pop Sandwich shop . Nice folks . Huge Fresh Sandwiches! Great Clam chowder! My So. Had the South of the boarder . Really large w/ lots of Roast beef and cheese ! So, large he couldn't finish . I had 1/2 A corned beef sandwich on sourdough with cheddar cheese . Nice to see corned beef on a menu . I had a hard time getting my mouth around it ! So large . Large bowl of soup as well . Solid Sandwich place .

    Empty, that's the table BTW

    It's been three months since my last downbeat review, and I decided to check out the place again today. I got a turkey sandwich on white bread with mayo and tomato, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't as much turkey as I've had before. The restaurant was completely empty except for me. I asked the girl where everyone was, and she just shrugged and said she didn't know. I'm not sure why the new owners felt the need to change things. It used to be one of the best spots to go, and you rarely had to didn't wait in line.

    First time here and definitely we will be coming back! I was so undecided what to order and the staff there is very helpful and give great suggestions. I ordered the Monday special with the Modesto special and clam chowder its is scrumptious! Will definitely be coming back!

    Reuben sandwich

    The sandwiches were delicious. My Reuben wasn't the same because they ran out of sauerkraut. It was still good.

    Place use to be good, but has fell off slightly last time I went. Veggies tastes old and turkey had a taste like it was too old. Service was still good. I'll have to give them another try.

    Green Roast Beef

    I had a very concerning experience here. I ordered a roast beef sandwich, and the meat inside was visibly spoiled -- BRIGHT GREEN ROAST BEEF that was slimy and clearly not safe to eat. Unfortunately, I had already eaten part of it before noticing the discoloration. This raises serious questions about food handling, storage temperatures, and how long the deli meat is being kept before serving it to customers. Food in this condition should never be prepared or handed to anyone. I contacted the county health department so they can look into this and prevent anyone else from getting sick. I hope management takes this seriously, because food safety cannot be overlooked. I will absolutely never be returning.

    The Hot Pastrami and Roast Beef Sandwiches are Fire!! Very Delicious! They are very gracious with the portions of proteins of meats they put in their Sandwiches, you don't feel scrimped.. The Sandwiches come with 1/4 quarter of pickle and green Peppers on the side.. The Chill is on point! very Tasty! This is my new go to spot in Modesto! I usually get my Sandwiches to go.. but they have a nice Spacious setup on the inside of The Sandwiches Shop for people want to eat their meal there. My Go-To in MoTown!

    I love this place they are very generous with their meat but I got onion and they put like maybe 3 strings of onion on there which I'm pretty sad about lol but other than that really nice staff and great place and pretty fast service

We placed a takeout order for 2 sub sandwiches and picked them up approximately 10 minutes later. After getting home and unwrapping the sandwiches I noticed that my sandwich had not been made correctly. I had ordered a Club Sub which is supposed to have bacon and mayo on it and it had neither. I was not happy so, I called Jersey Mike's and complained to the assistant manager who stated I only had to get on their website and fill out their form and I would get a coupon emailed to me for a remake probably within 24 hours. The Jersey Mike's corporate office in New Jersey emailed me 2 days later making a point to say each Jersey Mike's is individually owned so, they really can't do anything other than send the info to the owner. Corporate asked me for the ticket # which of course I no longer had because the assistant manager did not tell me it was needed which I explained when I responded. I then received another email asking for the date of the order, method of purchase, last 4 digits of my credit card and the total amount of the purchase which I then gave them. Today I received another email thanking me for the info and they would forward it to the owner. Geez, Jersey Mikes......is this how it goes for your customers when your employee screws up an order? As well as being given misinformation from the assistant manager on the remake coupon process? A total of 5 emails and still no coupon and it's now a week later. I think we will order from Togos from now on to avoid the hassle. Their sandwiches are better anyway.

    Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.

The first time we came, it was just after this reel went semi-viral so there were a bunch of people lined up. Upon entering, the staff immediately let us know they were having issues with the kitchen and that they had no idea when it would be back up. We decided to leave and return another time. The second time, I made an online pre-order. I decided to get the meal deal for 4 (and a separate order of the blueberry biscuit fried chicken sandwich) for the most variety. This deal includes: - Chicken Option: 8 pc tenders, 16 pc wings, or 16 pc nuggets. I went with the 16 pc wings. They were heavily battered, and the wings were cooked through and still juicy. I wasn't too wowed by them though. - 2 Sides: I went with the honey mustard pasta salad and chipotle potato salad. The pasta salad was soggier than expected, but flavors of both were pretty good. Chipotle potato had a nice kick. - Loaded Wedges: This was literally a potato quartered into 4 wedges. Tastewise, I really liked the seasoning they used on the potato though. I didn't care for the loaded part (cheese, bacon bits, green onion). - Choice of 5 sauces: Personally, the best part of the meal. Their sauces are on point. I went with the strawberry heat, pineapple pepper, XXX, fuego, honey mustard (accident; I wished I had gotten the hot honey blueberry bbq instead). - 4 Can Drinks: Cool I guess, but wished the deal was focused on the food options. The separate blueberry biscuit with chicken was also only just OK. The biscuit wasn't fluffy or buttery and the blueberries were there visually only (barely any blueberry taste). The chicken was fine and not dry at least! The wait the second time around also wasn't bad. I scheduled a 12:15PM order, and I think I got my food about 15-20 min later. Overall, it was a good one-time try!

Rodeo sauce was great. My son liked the Buttermilk I didn't get to try it. The Lemon Pepper was alright but it was mustard based so it mainly tasted like Yellow Mustard. Loaded wedges tasted great. Have to eat them fast because the cheese solidified quickly as it cools. The front counter associate was great with helping decipher on which sauces to order. Also pricing is very fair for the amount of food you get.

He was a bit smug, sarcastic, couldn't be bothered to explain what options I had to substitute, didn't offer me a combo before assuming I only wanted the sandwich and ringing me up for it. I basically did his job for him. It was the most uncomfortable and unpleasant exchange honestly. I picked potato salad for my side to which he told me I could grab myself out of the fridge in front of me. I looked,, and said, there isn't any. He begins to describe what the container would look like as if I'm incapable of recognizing a container of potatoes. At that point the gentleman behind me even interrupted and said, there's no potato salad in there man. So my advice would be, remove that guy from the register. He is your face of Jimmy John's and he sucked. Moving on.. the sandwich. It was DISGUSTING. From the moment I opened the wrapper I was put off by the smell off something sour. Like spoiled meat. Something just didn't sit right. The bacon was burnt, there was lettuce when I asked for none. I'm so unhappy with this entirely that I don't think I'll ever return given all the other choices I have here in Modesto for far better quality, customer service, and vibes. My advice, DRIVE PAST THIS PLACE! That's why the place is almost always empty.
