My husband loves sandwiches so we've been to Proper Sandwiches once or twice. Our most recent visit was for their 2 year anniversary and they were doing BOGO! Perfect!
My husband and I went and got ourselves four sandwiches! We got their Italian, Turkey Club, Pork Banh Mi, and Chicken Banh Mi. They were pretty busy and the wait for our sandwiches was about 30 minutes. Oh, you can also order the sandwiches on their website ahead of time too! So if you just want to pick it up to-go, it's a real time saver.
Their Italian Hoagie has french ham, coppa, salami calabrese, mortadella w/pistachio, aged provolone, house made giardiniera, shredded lettuce, red onion, oregano, red wine vinegar, and mayo. It's my favorite sandwich from them. The flavors are great all together and their giardiniera adds a crunch and acidity that it needs. However, the giardiniera is pretty wet and it soaks part of the bread and it can get incredibly messy while eating it. So I don't recommend saving this sandwich for the next day unless you are okay with part of the bread being soaked.
The Turkey Club has house roasted turkey, Applewood smoked bacon, swiss, fresh tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and chipotle mayo on a hoagie roll. Standard and done very well. Can't ever go wrong with a turkey club! Plus, my husband really enjoyed the bacon -- it was nice and crispy!
The Pork Banh Mi as lemongrass pork, pickled carrot & daikon, jalapeno, cucumber, cilantro herb mix, scallion, and mayo on classic bread. The Chicken Banh Mi has all the same fixings except it uses grilled char siu chicken. The flavor of the pork seemed a bit bland, it doesn't shine quite as well as the chicken. The Chicken Banh Mi was delicious and I think it would be even better if you added pate to it. I believe pate is an extra $2. The chicken was thick, juicy, and extremely tender. Flavors were fantastic and the baguette they used was perfect.
The prices, in general, are a bit higher but the quality makes up for it. I will always be back for the Italian Hoagie. I'm not sure if I would come here for the banh mi since I like the traditional dac biet/combo more than a pork or chicken. Plus a banh mi at a Vietnamese place is half the price. However, I do want to try their Chicken Banh Mi again but with pate just to see how it is.
Definitely would recommend if you're into sandos!
