Food was well worth the wait. This is better fresh so Door Dash probably won’t do it justice. Oder ahead or come inn& take a number. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a fantastic sandwich here after landing at the airport! Had the classic Sam’s Italian sub and it was great! The flavors were bold. The pasta salads were amazing as well. The Italian sausage was also very good, highly recommend those as well!
