| - I feel bad ripping on a place located in Uptown. I mean, with all the disadvantages of placing a restaurant in this town (high overhead/rent, stiff competition, etc.) it's a wonder we don't only have McDonalds and Burger King duking it out in the Overstreet Mall. That is why I was so excited to see an original "sandwichery" (my word; look for it in Webster's, next years edition) open up in the Mall.
When you think of Brad's, think Quiznos, minus the good bread choices and creative sandwiches. Sure, Brad's throws their subs through the conveyor toaster...whoop-de-doo. When I saw they only offered two bread choices (white or wheat), I actually got excited! Here I was thinking that a sandwich shop that only offers two bread choices must bake their bread in-house, thus restricting them from getting too wild and crazy. Um, the dude took my roll out of a bag. And it wasn't even a good bagged roll.
The level of meat and cheese on the sandwhich was sparse, at best. $10 for a subpar 8-inch sub, chips, and fountain drink is pricey, even taking into consideration the Uptown location. Ri Ra's sandwich shop down the street will do you better, but even they aren't that good.
Back to the sandwich drawing board...
