| - I had really big dreams for lunch today.... then I went here.
Too unkind? Well I realize my dream was really big and thats why I am going with 3 over the 2 star rating only because I had a 2 star floating in my head all day. My job has me driving all over the county 4 days a week so I thought Oakland, great lunch spots, I'll try some place new.
Back to my dream... I was dreaming of a big cheesey ooey gooey onion pepper slathered Philly cheesteak sub with lots of bread maybe a little au jus dripping down the side. Fattening sure but I would have covered half and saved it for later.
I walk in and see the photo menus, using photos is a bad sales idea because the food almost never measures up.However everyone is doing it I get it. One deceiving difference here was the bread. It was sub style large white bread in the photos, ok pretty much what I am used to for "east coast subs" being a ny girl.
My dream begins to defer... as I glance at the menu I see no green pepper offered in the photos oh well I can deal with it, then when I order sadly so sauce offered other than mayo (yeck) and mustard so I stick with mustard cry for lost peppers and decide to go with a combo. For a four inch sub and a combo its 8$ after tax. Ok thats fine because remember my dream with the Big thick meaty sub?
I sit and wait for my food friendly service, ok price, my belly grumbles. Then I glance down at what the cashier brings me and shed a philly tear for what I see on my plate. It's some sort of deflated philly subway shriveled looking thing. Not much meat or cheese, few veggies and EEK a baguette? The meat was pretty flavorless, cheese just eh, and again can I cry of the lack of veggies?
Don't get me wrong Je t'aime the baguette, crispy on the outside soft inside..... with some slabs of brie, cucumber tomato and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic. Just Not on my philly sandwich. Ya dig?
This is where my dream deferred, I'm saving it for Philly or the next time I am back home in ny.
The fries were nice fresh but not crispy, but the sandwich was very small not enough to hold me through the day. So if you have any metabolism at all I would order a larger sandwich and skip the combo, better value food for buck. Note to self next time im in this spot I am going to Chipotle, they never let me down for flavor and value.
So this place is a chain sandwich shop don't bring your big lunch dreams here save it for someplace else. I do like a few chains but not this one.
