Hmmm...yeah, this is a tough one. I am a big sandwich/sub fan and this goes back to my days in NYC where the local deli made money heros so I try to hit up as many sub/sandwich shops as I can.
The Sandwich Shop gets awesome reviews and when you go there you see a legit looking sub shop with chips, sodas, and tons of satsified looking customers with rows of paper bags for take out orders. Must be great right? As much as I'd like to say "hell yeah" I just can't do it. It isn't bad by any stretch but the sandwiches are just OK IMHO. And this isn't after one visit...I've been there probably half dozen times since they opened b/c of the great reviewd and positive vibe but each time I go I leave a little disappointed.
Which sandwiches you ask? That goes for the Roasted Pork and Broccollini, the Chicken Parm, the Cubano and others. They are just okay but I've had way better at other places. In addition, I can't get over that they serve Boars Head turkey, ham, etc. I have to say that the best sandwich shops I've been to bake their own turkey, ham, roast beef, etc. That makes a huge difference...especially since I can go down to Giant and buy my own Boars Head meat there.
Anyway, I will give them a solid 3.5 but can't get to 4 stars. I'd say Nozzo Pazzo down the street is a better bet comparatively speaking. I wish The Sandwich Shop the best...I'm sure my single review won't make a big difference but felt compelled to share...
