Love this place! Subs are great. BUT I will say I love there turkey club subs. They seem to forget the bacon 8 out of 10 order's! It's to come on it. Not an extra!

An 11 x17 plastic menu placard reminiscent of a greek diner in its exhaustive and ambitious size should have been my first clue that food quality might be an issue: no one can do everything well. Food choices range from a nice italian entre menu to pizza to Stromboli to chicken , subs, and cheese steaks with some appetizers to round it out. The drink menu is an anemic list of fountain drinks so popular with restaurant owners who have no care for their patrons' health and freely serve them sugar, dyes, and concentrated high fructose corn syrups laced with glyphosphates. Nothing creative or healthful to be found on my drink menu. From a sound perspective, this is a poorly designed Loud joint full of hard surfaces with zero physical barriers between the loud kitchen, th busy counter, and the dining room with no fabrics present to soften the blow.. The phone's scream competes with the blaring radio and the usual noise associated with a kitchen and a restaurant full of folks. All of this is amplified mercilessly by an open ceiling truss roof perfect in height for amplifying the din below and adding a hint of reverb or echo. Throw in the commerce from a drive in window and you have an overpowering urge to leave. For the 20% of us who are autistic, adhd, have hearing issues, or who have sensory processing issues, trying to hear and function in this place difficult at best. Garlic bread was misnamed... with the thickness of a communion wafer, and the shape of an amoroso roll, it arrived on tissue in a plastic basket with no hint of browning or herbs: just a flat slab without a prayer of ever having character. This bread was a zero effort butter garlic salt and slap it in a basket affair.... a sad start. "Bread" arrived with a small caesar salad on a flat plate. There was romaine, shaved cheese & croutons inundated by an industrial ladle full of some offbeat excuse for an italian dressing heavy on vinegar. It was not caesar: no egg. No anchovy no evo. No cracked pepper. I quietly asked my wife to taste it. She took a leaf and did not finish it. I asked her because i wanted to see if maybe the bread had me so pissed off I could no longer taste properly. She made a face,put what was left back and said wrong dressing. But hey, she had her own worries: a house salad featuring light bleached iceberg for croutons, three hunks of tomato and two discs of cucumber big enough for me to consider taking them home to replace the tractor tire. While pondering sacramental bread and tire sizes, our entres arrived. Besides the service, the entries were the best part of our meal. I am from the Marche' region of Italy where tomato sauces are often darker and hearty and rarely if ever dainty. The sauce on my eggplant rollatini was bright red sweet sauce with a big note of basil and a hint of salt... not my preference but still nicely done. My wife had a fusilli primavera which she enjoyed. With our meal done, our check arrived, we paid at the register, and headed out with leftovers now reminded that the tractor needed tires and of our all too catholic childhoods. Perhaps it's Time for a Challis of wine.

We had a special pizza. It was basically an Italian sub. But in-between two pieces of pizza crust.

No greeting or acknowledgement upon arrival.Server never checked on us. Had to flag her down as she forgot part of my order. Spent a lot of time chatting with other server and then went into kitchen for a long time. Had to get another server to get out to go boxes.

They never cook the bacon before putting it on anything lol. It's always raw an just fatty pieces. Kinda gross. Bacon is supposed to be crispy not chewy

Taylor Ecenrode

Hate to do it cuz usually the food is good. But damn I spent $25 on 1 dish of pasta alone. Vodka sauce but it didn't taste like vodka sauce. Every bite tasted like a straight shot of vodka. That's some of that new Russian vodka

Just tried one of their roast beef subs and it will be the last thing we order from them. The roast beef was full of fat and tasted rancid. Never again…..
