“Good sandwich”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We were returning after a long day of sight seeing. A fresh made, warm sandwich hit the spot. Reasonably priced, and a good variety of choices.

“No better than Sub-way”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

Food seemed the same quality as Sub-way. Eat-in atmosphere / comfort was better but I wouldn't bother returning again.

“Delicious instead of healthy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

They have a good variety of sub sandwhiches both hot and cold. The food doesn't pretend to be healthy but it is definitely delicious! It is fast and very inexpensive. I personally recommend the grilled chicken and cheese or the pizza sandwhich.

“Always a nice sandwich”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012

A good, quick lunch experience that easily tops fast food. Get it "skinny" and it's not a huge calorie load. Toasty and hot, nice. They do seem to be shrinking over time, though.
