- LGLindsay Gray1 day ago1.0I placed a to-go order & scheduled it literally 2-3 hrs in advance. It was only for 2 ceasar salads. My pick up time was supposed to be at 8:30pm. I showed up at 8:20, went inside & sat down right by the pickup area & saw my name on their screen. Screen shows people's names & their order & next to it, it says "preparing" or "order is ready." Anyways, at least a DOZEN people had come in & got their food before mine! I sat & watched them make sandwich after sandwich which takes longer than whipping up two salads. Anyway, I didn't get my order until 17 minutes PAST the pickup time of 8:30, I got it at 8:47!! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!! Especially since I placed it hours in advance! Terrible experience! I got an email that said they gave me a $2 off coupon on my next order. $2 off, for having my order 17 minutes late is a joke & I honestly should have gotten my meal free at that point. Would NOT recommend ever going to this location, & I will NOT be going back! DO BETTER!
- BLBob LewisJan 5, 20263.0The food definitely varies from location to location. The Tacoma Mall location was not up to par. My Philly Cheese Steak was probably the worst I've ever eaten & I have tried quite a few Cheese Steaks at various places and this one was not good at all.
- DRDeanna RiveraJan 4, 20261.0No clean tables. Disgusting poop smeared bathroom. Hardly anyone working and obviously overtaxed. Self service kiosks? Really? At these prices? Crappy sandwich prep. Waited too long. Seriously terrible experience.
- MHMichael HarbesonDec 23, 20251.0It took over an hour for them to deliver my food and it was cold
- SNSARAH NIXDec 22, 20255.0Excellent customer service from David! Delivery order had to be changed due to soup being out of stock. David was helpful with a substitution and also included a friendly note!
