Soggiest sandwich in Tempe, so if thatβs your dig, this place would be perfect for you!Not to mention, the BAGGED chips are moldy. Tried to call to warn them of it, but they keep their phones turned off from 11-2 so hopefully someone in person can tell them so people donβt get sick π€·ββοΈJudging by the replies from the owner to some of the 1-star reviews, they donβt seem to care about the quality of their products, and instead want to argue or pass blame on the customer. Please donβt even waste your time replying, just throw away the moldy chips.Edit: adding pictures of moldy chips. Please throw away the Boulder chips so you do not get people sick, thanks!
It was my first time and rode with coworkers. It was busy at lunchtime, and thats usually a good sign. It definitely was in this case. I went for the Thursday special, hot pastrami sandwich, but others had fried chicken and other sandwiches. Reviews were positive all around.Good food, plenty of seating and reasonable prices.Ill be back!
This place was okay. The potatoe salad sucked, it tasted horrible. The #8 sandwiche good, nothing to brag over but filled me up and tastes OK. The service was amazing, they were on a lunch rush and took everyones order and brought out the sandwiches with ease. The location was clean and even though it was busy they still manage to clean the tables when someone left. I am going to come back and try the fried chicken, but never eating the potatoes salad again. Ther are a little pricey, but everything is now a days.
I purchased a foot long turkey sub and it was delicious overall. Every bite was full of meat and toppings. I highly recommend this place if looking for sub sandwiches they are well worth itππ½π―. They also serve other foods on the menu.
I believe this is the first restaurant to tell me βwe donβt have water cups.β Their cheese selection is limited to provolone or provolone, so hopefully youβre cool with that. My hot pastrami sandwich was good for the first bite, but it had too much mustard, and the pastrami tasted exactly like Safeway Select deli cuts had been warmed in the microwave.Seriously yβall, I donβt understand the hype. The food was incredibly mediocre, and customer service at the counter was sub-par. On the plus side there was ample seating. Maybe I need to order a different sandwich next time, but truthfully Iβm not inclined to come back.
Fantastic pressure cooked chicken. Great sub sandwiches and reasonable value for amount & quality of food!! You wont be disappointed!!
Extremely busy at peak hours (12pm to 1:30pm). The food is okay nothing really to brag about.
AZ Sandwich Co. is probably one on my favorites places to get a good quality, hand made sandwich (sub style). It ranks up there with Cheba Hut, my other favorite sandwich shop. Fresh meats, toppings and good quality bread. I really like the #8, the Sparky sandwich. Always have good, fast service. The foot long is a BIG sandwich. Very filling. I feel like a Python that just ate a deer when I am done.
If you guys are backordered to the point where it takes you a half hour to make a single sandwhich, maybe give me a heads up at the register so I dont spend my entire lunch break without getting to eat.
The food is always fresh and delicious the staff there is amazing and friendly go eat here if you have a chance too
The Sparky.Probably the best sandwich there.Super fast meal prep time.Everythings good here.
Great breakfast spot. Can get lunch sandwiches for bfast. Dont care much for the breakfast burritos but all the sandwiches are great.
Great place for sandwiches and now they serve fried chicken...
First time eating here. I must say, it was a delightful sandwich. Fresh ingredients and the soft bread made it all more enjoyable. Will definitely return to try more sandwiches. If you are looking to get a quick bite to eat, I would recommend this place.
Sandwiches are awesome as usual, now they have fried chicken. So good.
Love this place. Great food always clean.
Quick food served by friendly staff.
First time here, well worth it!
Got the new Krispy Chicken, was delicious! Staff was friendly
Cute cafeteria style sandwich shop. The Phoenix was the sandwich my husband and I ordered and it was delicious! The staff was friendly and everything was clean. We will be back again for sure!
This is the go to spot for my work lunch
Great sandwich small and and priced on the high side but worth it
Update:If you order To-Go instead of Delivery on the app, they might make you wait--no joke--45 mins after you arrive, but still the best sandwich in town.---Best bread and flavor profiles Ive ever had, when it comes to sandwiches. Its like cocaine, but for the mouth--one bite and youll be hooked.
I never been to a sandwich shop that charge for pickles on a sandwich and charge for house dressing.Condiments are usually complementary.
Best sandwich place Ive ever been in, everything you pick here is so good every chance I get to go for lunch thats my spot
I used to absolutely love this place, but awhile back they changed the bread they used, have much smaller portions and have become pretty snobby. Still a good sandwich shop.
I am not a sandwich fan, Ive always disliked them but the sandwiches here are phenomenal!
I have been a avid fan of AZ Sandwich Co. for years now. Cannot recommend more, favorite sandwich hands down.
Delicious sandwich. Will go again to try all different ones.
Quick great price nice area
Even though there were some glitches in our order (they just started the online order and delivery), I give them the highest rating. They went out of their way to correct everything. And the food was fantastic!!!
Meat ball sub is awesome
Hard to find a better sandwich in Tempe.
Well built sandwiches with fresh ingredients.The salads are great too!Been coming here since 2003 . Clean establis
Prices went up since I was there last which is happening everywhere but they now put WAY less meat on the sandwiches.
An awesome sandwich joint...
This is more 1 of my coworkers favorite places. It works, its clean, the food is good, the staff is friendly. Give it a try
Great customer service and delicious salads.
I had a very tasty chicken salad
Some of the best sandwiches Ive ever had! The potato salad was delicious as well. They have a loyalty punch card where your 10th combo meal is free, so thats pretty cool. I was told today that this is the last Saturday they will be open, so moving forward, theyll only be open Monday through Friday, 6am to 6pm, so keep that in mind before heading over there. Honestly cant recommend this place enough, it is just high quality food at a fair, if slightly expensive, price. The amount of food you get, I think, would be viewed as a little on the smaller side, but it was surprisingly filling, at least for me.
The best sandwiches in Tempe!
When you arrive at the Arizona sandwich company is one of the first things that you notice is the lack of pretense. With its industrial cafeteria style its not much to look at. I came in during the lunch rush and the line was managed quickly and competently. The menu contains all the sandwiches you would expect and I ordered the Arizona bomber combo which comes with a sandwich and your choice of potato salad macaroni salad or potato chips and a drink. This came out to a total of $9.98 after tax. They have Pepsi products in the drink machine but they have a wide variety of bottled beverages in the line. Somehow they manage the not so awesome feet of making a dry potato salad which set my expectations for the coming sandwich pretty low. But Ive never been happier to be so wrong about something. the sandwich wasnt as long as you might get at Subway or firehouse or something like that but what it left and length it more than made up for in girth. The sandwich was packed with meat from end-to-end. I will definitely be coming back but next time Im going to try the macaroni salad.
UpdatedDecent food and ok serviceEating here for years!!One star review why??Because these people do not offer water!!No cup for water!!Every other business especially FOOD business give you free water .or water cupSeriously especially in AZ this is unacceptable!!I even asked to clarify! Nope have to buy bottled water even thou they have a soda machine that produces waterI was just trying to get a sandwich and a cup of water....sadEdit to owners replyWow thats a LONG and Pathetic replyFirst of all I was not offered to use my own container to fill up.nor was offered a 25 cent bottled water.. just told no..the. Told you sell bottled waterSecond the Free punch card u boost is a joke..its for combos!! To increase ur profit margins.I only want the sandwich..not the chips or sides..nor a soda...I never drink soda or sugar drinksEvery food place that serves beverages offers water and has to go through using a Commercial HVAC and/low temp company to service their equipment..acting like you go out of ur way is again PATHETICTaking about how you have expanded ..good for you....sounds like ur profit margins are so low that u cannot afford the BASIC thing in AZ. WaterI could list tons of businesses that offer water for FREE that are not even in the food business...yes even fancy bottled waterHeck many businesses donate tons of cases of bottled water (even to homeless). You cannot for paying customersBut thank you for ur reply as it cements what I feared..I will never spend a dollar nor have my business catered as well from you guysGood luck with the big expansion and that nice overhead..lol
Excellent Sandwiches, great quality breads. My only argument is roast beef does not make a Philly!I respect the response though! As an addendum, respectable chili! Meaty and flavorful!, but I will continue sampling the menu, as I work nearby! π
Been going here for years! The sandwiches are incredible. The bread is always soft and fresh, the portions are generous, and the sandwiches are all great but my favorite is the Italian Bomber.
Sandwiches are large and better than the average sandwich shops. They get fairly busy during the work week, but they dont usually have you waiting too long.
The Cold Brew coffee is my go to drink here. The pastrami sandwich was hot and tasty, and the El Jefe Burrito was pretty good. Not something Id get all the time personally.The inside is very basic, nothing fancy or exceptional. But nothing dirty or terrible. Its a decent spot to grab and go lunch or breakfast in the area.
Ive been going here for the last 4 or 5 years. Their quality was consistently remained high. Their service is super fast even during lunch time, though I tend to avoid them or any place around that time. Their expanded building is much nicer too.
Iβve been coming to AZ Sandwhich company for years and itβs been a consistently great place for a tasty meal. If your into ice tea they have some of the best unsweetened peach tea! Also, a little known fact is they are open early for breakfast. You canβt go wrong with the bacon egg and cheese croissant and Claudia has perfected the art of making a perfect latte.
These sandwiches are delicious. The sparky #8 is my favorite. The chicken noodle soup is a little thick but not unbearable to eat.
Been going for lunch during work for about 2 years. They recently expanded into the storefront next door and have a much larger space. Sandwiches have always been good. Two recent issues to call out.1. Taking a lot longer to prepare the sandwiches now that the cashier area is further from the kitchen. Not sure if this is fallout from a newer ticket entry system or something else, but very noticeable difference in wait times.2. Was told they are no longer offering water cups. Simply crazy and reason probably not to return. You canβt get a cup to put tap water into.UPDATE 7/14/2019:After the reasonable response (below) from the business owner, Ill be returning to AZ Sandwich Co for lunch again. Thank you for explaining the business reasoning behind the discontinuation of the plastic water cups.
Super cool. Its a sandwich shop. The service is fast the layout is awesome. It avoids getting customers jammed into one tiny waiting space. Portion sizes are good, flavor is very good. Prices are reasonable. I would eat there again.
This place has the best sandwiches hands down. You know they have great ones when they go from a small single room shop to practically the size of a cafeteria with tables that can seat 40 people. And it is easy to see why. The bread is fresh daily, the sandwiches made to order right then, all the ingredients including the lettuce are fresh, and best of all, they dont skimp! These sandwiches can even satisfy a 200lbs + 65 construction worker and make him leave satisfied. They have all sides like chips, salads that are made fresh, cookies, fruit, and just about every drink option you can image. Best of all, a sandwich, chips, a drink, and a cookie are 12 bucks out the door! Go here and only here if you want the best sandwich ever!
Itβs good but BOY is that a lot of bread on those sandwiches. The bread to meat/veg ratio is way out of wack. Overall itβs good and good value but not quite a 5
I eat here almost every other day. They have great food and the people who work there are amazing!
Very tasty sandwiches! And at a reasonable price for what you get. I had the Italian Bomber, and it was fantastic! The bread was delicious and soft, and they really piled on the meat!
Clean, great food, great price.
I always have a wonderful experience here. The bread is FANTASTIC!! I had the #8 Sparky combo which is a turkey, bacon & avocado sub with chips and a drink and it was delicious. The atmosphere is light and fun its usually a combination of the college & work crowd gathering for lunch. They play great background music as well.
Is a good place, great food to have a quick bite.
The italian bomber is underrated a must try +the pastrami
My luch every other day
Ive been to AZ Sandwich CO various times over the past few years, always quality food but sometimes really busy to grab a quick sandwich on lunch break. Stopped today for a breakfast bite and was surprised to see they expanded to twice the size. Met the owner, super nice guy. Had a great croissant w egg and cheese. They now have coffee and adding more vegetarian options soon. Give it a try! Nice to eat local!!
Customer service not very good and microwave warming burritos ..aahh no thank you
It was my own fault.... I thought their AZ cheese steak was going to be real meat (like a real cheesesteak is....)... not slices of deli meat heated up.... it was kind of gross.... but the potato salad and cookie were good....
Very good and inexpensive!!
So good!
Update,owner has said they will work to accommodate a keto type request in the future. Good stuff!Original review :βΊ They are great, but today I asked to get a sub with no bun in one in their sub trays and was told they cant sell a sub without a bun. So much for keto. Sure they have salads, but not the same thing.
This place pleases the hell out of me every single time!! Amazing service and fantastic tasting sandwiches!! My all time favorite place to eat no doubt!!!
Very good, will go again.
Located across the street from QT. Fresh bread, soups and salads. Breakfast also available. Coffee bar and catering offered. Plenty of high top tables/stools for groups or large parties. They are only open Monday thru Friday. I like that they open at 6a.m. I usually get the Sparkey. Turkey, bacon and avocado its delicious.
This place has amazing Food, service and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone. And get the white bread. Its great.
Husband and I stopped off today for a bite while on the road in the valley. We were pleasantly surprised at the taste of our sandwiches, but I got sick mid bite. No idea why or what happened, just stomach rejecting food. Nothing seemed wrong. Got home and finished my juice to no ill effect, though my stomach is still incredibly sore. Cant say it was the sandwich, my stomach doesnt work great... so be careful with the works if you are sensitive.
The place is not cheap but worth every cent!I spent around $35. with delivery for a foot long, a 20 OZ sprite in the bottle- No ice - no cup- a downer. A rice Crispy type treat and a couple of choc chip cookies. The sub was a monster. Just like the pictures, tons of deli meat, that was high quality, plus lots of fresh fixings.Made just the way I ordered. It was 2 inches high! I had 4 meals off the Italian Sub. The menu says $7.95 but the actual price was $17 bucks for the big one. The half size was $10. Uber eats delivered for next to nothing and 15 min delivery in the morning, not a busy time for sandwiches.The trend I am seeing is for delivery menus to not offer fountain drinks. Just bottled drinks. I want the same meal as if I came in. I really want my root beer iced and in a cup. Other wise I can have water free at home. I have 6 cats they do not bug me when I eat. When I ate this sub I was the most popular person on earth. It smelled good. It was good! Highly recommended!
Since ASC first opened I have always loved their sandwiches, from the choice of breads, meats and toppings it has always been top notch. As with my last visit I was disappointed that a change was made with the bread. I personally dont like when there is more bread than sandwich. The balance of the sandwich which was what I originally liked about ASC has now changed. My wife and son loved their sandwiches and they are bread lovers but now one of my favorites is no longer one of my favorites. Eventhough ASC still makes a great sandwich.
A lot of seating inside since theyve expanded. It is very open with a lot of space now. The staff is very friendly. The bread they use is a bit too thick for my liking. I wish they offered more than just one style of bread.
I stopped in to get lunch. A meatball sandwich. The meatballs were good the bread sucked. All in all I would give it a 4 out of 10. I will not return.
Having worked in the area for some years, I have tried this place out many times. The sandwiches are decent for the most part and very cost-effective. I must say that it is the price-point that makes this location a very solid choice for a quick lunch. Today, however, I felt the desire to sample a burrito from their breakfast menu, I went online where the following words are proudly displayed on the top of their page Delivery now available at all locations. Select a location to begin. This was awesome, because I happened to be looking for delivery exclusively. The establishment may be within a modest walking distance, but its still pretty damn warm, it is Summer in the Valley after all. I called to place my order and the woman who received my call, in a very ambiguous manner, indicated that theyre not set up for delivery. I remarked that the company website specifically asserts that ALL locations are indeed set up for delivery, I was then asked if it was a company catering order which, of course, it wasnt. She then continued on to say that they couldnt deliver, but to call their other location. So today I guess I wont have their food because I was displeased with this encounter. The website says Delivery now available at all locations. Select a location to begin, I do exactly that and am told that delivery is not set up. Fair enough, I suppose, not all that glitters is gold, but then Im asked if its a company catering order which implies they are more than able to send food by vehicle to a certain location, but perhaps cannot justify the expense for an individual order even though Im less than 2 miles away. Whatever the reasoning for this unfortunate misleading episode, I have found myself inclined to write this review and consider alternative sandwich options in the area.Just read owners response, your reply is very much appreciated. I think that clarifying all aspects of delivery services offered with the staff is a great recourse that would go a long way in clearing up the confusion I had on the matter.
I am literally in love with the bread! Very delicious food. For being so busy, very quick to receive food. Staff is great. Definitely a repeat customer!
Great lunch. Quick and delicious.
Tastey sandwiches and fast service. The sides or potatoe salad or macaroni salad are not that great
I love what they did with the place. π Nice, clean and friendly customer service. Food is really good tooπ
What a sandwich .. waao.
Really great weekday specials. The bread they use is amazing and the portions are huge.
Great breakfast burritos and sandwiches
Best sandwich you can get. Im here at least 3 times a week. Great food, courteous staff.
Food is always fresh
Awesome sandwiches. Excellent breakfast burritos!
They only had one side open line was long order was wrong but didnβt know until we got back 30 min later and the crew was slow Not like last time and my BLT had oil and vinegar on it why???? Did not enjoy this sandwich at all π‘ Also my husbandβs sandwich did not have the right meats on it π‘
Amazing taste, incredibly fresh, and very fast! We will be back!
