★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Carlia Wells · Feb 2026

Didn’t get a chance to try the jerk nacho because it was hair in it.(on the inside part of the tray)The sandwich had so much oil you could fill a small styrofoam cup.The chocolate cake was dry. I called and she said they don’t do refunds but I can get my order replaced 😒😏 I’d rather not get anything else from you all.

My daughter treated me to lunch today here. We ordered a hoagie and a steak sandwich. They both were absolutely amazing!! And the plain lays went perfectly with our sandwiches. The sweet steak tasted just like how I remember from back in the day. And the hoagie was sooo good, seasoned well with that delicious deli oil. The service was nice, the young lady that took our order was nice and attentive and answered questions we had. The food came out fast. Overall it was a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be returning!!

Not sure what happened to the small hoagies. Went to the Homewood location today . Less meat and the bread is thick as hell. Was much better when they were inside the gas station on Vollmer Rd. Wasted my time and gas thinking I was going to enjoy a sandwich today and 1 tomorrow on the plane..Both going in the garbage. Won’t be going back !!! In response to owners response: The bread 🥖 is thicker or it wasn’t as oiled as it normally is. You have a regular customer that I was with.. I will let her know about your response. She will let you know how she felt about the quality ofthe sandwich as well. Her name is Tammy and she always buy sandwiches for us to eat on our trips. But anyway, you enjoy your day…
