| - Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):
1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Like I mentioned in a previous review (see Arizona Sandwich Company), the sandwich that I compare to all other sandwich joints is their version of a grinder or Italian sub. Italian meat, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, pepperoncini, Italian dressing, pickles.
The staff here was great and super friendly. I ordered the Italian. Though I appreciate their use of very fresh ingredients, this Italian sub also fell short of my expectations.
The size of the sandwich, in comparison to the price, is average. You can find better value in the Valley pretty easily. The sandwich was a little light on the meat, though the balance between the three was pretty good. I like their pickles. Their bread is average. All put together, I just can't say I was wowed by this sandwich. I've had so many good grinders and heroes back East that to give this place 4 stars would be an injustice to those places from back East.
This is not a bad sandwich at all. I like the freshness. But it not an excellent sandwich either. I may be back here to try a different sandwich to see if they have a specialty sandwich that knocks my socks off.
