| - False advertisement sucks...
When I see San Francisco and Sourdough in the same sentence, my mouth automatically starts watering. So when Hubby and I were driving down St. Rose this weekend and I saw a sign that said San Francisco Sourdough Eatery, and it had a picture of sandwiches so highly piled with meat it doubled the amount of bread, all I could say was "WHAAAT?".
Naturally we jumped on yelp to find one five star review of the place. Only one, but they just opened and are in an obscure location, so we could only believe it to be true... and we decided to check it out for ourselves.
We walked into the empty sandwich shop at around 2pm on a Tuesday, and were greeted by the friendly staff, and what looked like the owners having lunch. Hubby ordered the C Combo; a cup of the soup of the day, Clam Chowder, and a Large 7'' Pastrami and Turkey. And I got the Regular 5'' Turkey. It took a bit for the order to be ready, but we got it to go, and went home to be blown away... or so we thought.
Let's get to the nitty gritty. We gave the soup a 3.5. It was decently seasoned, and chunky in all the right places, but the consistency was a bit too runny for chowder. Now the sandwiches were so far from what they looked like on the menu and advertisement sign out front, and the sourdough seemed so, well... so so, that we were both very disappointed to say the least. I was expecting outstanding from all the ad hype, and what we got was just normal and blah. Think Subway on sourdough with less vegis and no umph. The best thing about the sandwiches were the pickles that came with them.
The search for the perfect sandwich shop in Vegas continues...
