| - An upgraded jimmy johns, Flancer's bread tastes JUST like the sandwich fast food place, which is a good thing, as it is baked fresh every day. They are known for their sandwiches but also carry good salads, pizza and calzones.
Through not the best sandwiches I have had in AZ, for the $8-10 price range, the flavors are decent and the portions are filling. My italian sandwich was OK, nor super meaty but flavorful and fresh enough. I did the salad and sandwich combo with a side of goat cheese salad (with spinach, pine nuts, garbanzo beans and sun fried tomatoes. I highly highly encourage this option as 1) you get a pretty big meal that is mildly healthy, 2) the sides offered with a full sandwich are definitely not worth the $1 savings. The goat cheese salad was ok except for the overly chunky dressing and the super dry breaded goat cheese (which should have been creamy and sharp in flavor).
Now, the sides. My friends ordered the fruit cup and the jalapeno mashed potatoes, which both sucked. The fruit cup was a tiny bowl with 3 1x1" pieces of cantaloupe while the mashed potatoes was a little bitter (from the jalapeno), was dry, lacked salt and came in like a fried cake with no remnant of it ever being mashed potatoes. From what I saw being served around, the sweet potatoes are the thing to order, but since I haven't tried them myself, i'm gonna pull an NWA and say "don't quote me boy, I ain't said shit".

Overall 3 stars for the flavor of the food, though I will say that the service was really good and I would definitely return for a quick bite to eat, but not necessarily recommend it to everyone.
