Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Such a great little sandwich shop! I had the French dip and my friend had I think a chicken club and fries. Everything was really good. The staff was very kind and was great about answering questions. The food is made fresh and it was extremely clean. I will definitely come here again!

East coaster excited to taste a familiar sandwich from back home. I've lived 10 miles away from this location for a few years now and didn't know that until recently. We have been looking for a new spot lately since we have all but given up on Jersey's Mike due to them constantly messing up our orders and the very obvious "shrinkflation" of their sandwiches. Meaning getting less and paying more. I suppose this is the downstream effect of them selling to a Private Equity firm last year. Another bites the dust I guess. So today I ordered and paid $11.29 or more for three od their popular sandwiches sandwiches, with the intention of cutting them up and doing a little taste test with my husband (also from the east). Well, much to my surprise they have actually out disappointed us even more then the very skimpy Jersey Mike's sandwiches because at least for around $11.29 you get a "regular" size at J.M.'s . At Capriotti's you get a tini tiny sandwich for that price. The turkey was dry as all hell and the cheese steak had a weird flavor and crunchy onions, what the???... Anyway here is a picture of the mini cheese steak I paid $11.29 for, with a teaspoon for scale. For $35 I could have got enough ingredients to make hoagies for 4 or 5 people at home and potato chips, drinks and cookies. What a waste of time and money!

I really want to like this spot, however, this is the second time we have absolutely shocked on how bad the place is. The very high prices do not help them at all. Look, this may sound dumb for a sandwich shop but I think that it applies here, especially when you can pay upwards of $60 + for a couple of people. We have been a total of 3 times ( 2 of which were not good, once we both got sick). Today, we ordered some food to go, one order was a large tuna sandwich with added peppers of both types. Seems reasonable, right? 🤣 by the time we drove 3 miles home the tuna sandwich became so soggy, you could barely hold it. The juice from the massive amount of peppers had soaked through the bread and through the papers that wrapped the sandwich and almost through the bag. It sort of feels like the employee had no care in the world when making the food. The tuna to peppers ratio was nearly 1-1! Needless to say to say the sandwich was not eaten. All you could taste was pepper juice. In the photo, the peppers on the plate are from 1/4 of the sandwich 🤯 the second photos show the other half after we transferred it to new parchment paper, the bread is so soggy you can see finger marks in it and even the new paper is soaked. Two stars is because the fries and the second sandwich were alright, nothing special.
