| - Capriotti's is a gem in a handful of rocks.
When moving into my new house a few weeks ago, I needed to feed my "helpers" well. They wanted sandwiches, they got sandwiches. Two days in a row!
I eat sandwiches very rarely. When I do, I want those carbs to count.
The first time I tried Capriotti's, I tried The Bobbie, which is their bestseller. The Bobbie is a homemade shredded turkey sandwich with homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayonnaise.
The turkey was shredded and reminded me of day after Thanksgiving leftovers. It was that delicious. I skipped the mayo, but I still got a sopping wet sub sandwich. Not that I am complaining, it just made it a little hard to eat all that deliciousness. Next time I am craving a carb-heavy sammy, I may order The Bobbie again, this time sans the mayo and light on the cranberry sauce.
The second time I tried Capriotti's, I had the regular cheesesteak. I forgot to order it with peppers and onions, so it was a little boring... but the flavor of the meat was spot on.
My mom had the cheesesteak with mushrooms and found only three small bits of mushroom in the entire sandwich. I don't know how that happened, but it was a bit of a disappointment. When you want your fungi, you want your fungi!
All in all, this is a SOLID 4 star rating. Capriotti's makes fresh sandwiches far better than any of the larger chains. They take a little longer than your standard sub shop, but quality takes time. Their prices are also quite a bit higher but, again, you're paying for quality.
