I called and preordered our meals and , when the time came, I needed them early, I called back (4th call to change order) and they were very pleasant and had all 9 sandwiches done on timel My only complaint is there isn't much room to eat for 9 people, so we brought it back home.

Its a well decorated sandwich shop. The food was OK. The prices trend high. And they charge for extra condiments? Do they really need that extra 35 cents?

I enjoyed the sandwich I ordered - the Philly Steak. The crisp bread & the flavor was really good. I would have liked a bit more meat. Also, the onion rings were good. A trip to the gym! For two, the bill came up to $30 so I'm glad I had the coupon.

Unfortunately this place was just okay. I had a coupon for 50% off which is good because I don't think our 2 sandwiches and sodas were worth $25. My husband had the philly grill and said it was good but not really large enough to justify the cost. I had the turkey club and it again was good, but without the bacon lacked flavor. Finally I went back and ordered a side of macaroni salad... But I wish I hadn't wasted the money. I usually LOVE potato and macaroni salads. But this one had absolutely no flavor. I even gave it to my husband to try and he agreed that it didn't have a taste at all.Overall it was ok... But doubt we'd return. On the upside the decor and ambiance was really cool.One more thing: while we didn't wait too long, I did notice that a few other parties had to wait a very long time. Like 15 minutes for a sandwich = not cool
