Mixed Bag: Good Prices, Okay Food
My experience at this restaurant offered great prices, with a coffee and bagel with cream cheese costing less than $8. The bagel was alright, but the coffee was not good; it was served iced with no ice, resulting in a lukewarm temperature. They also serve decent breakfast sandwiches.

Tasty, Quick, and Reasonably Priced Sub!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had a super tasty sub that was made super quick. The price was very reasonable, making it a great value. I highly recommend this place.

Disgusting Eggs, Never Again
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing, primarily due to the food. I gagged when I saw the disgusting eggs in my breakfast sandwich; they were gray and smelled bad. This experience has led me to decide that I am never going back. The service and atmosphere were rated as average (3/5), but the food quality was a significant letdown (1/5).

Tasty Croissant Sandwich Recommendation
My experience at the restaurant was great! I had a tasty croissant sandwich that reminded me of ones I used to make. I definitely recommend it.

Delicious Food, Reasonable Prices
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I found the food to be very solid and the prices to be very reasonable. It's refreshing to find a place that excels at the basics and focuses on creating actually delicious food, rather than resorting to gimmicks and charging excessively for them.

Great Egg Sandwich, Terrible Bacon
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. I absolutely love the egg sandwich, but the bacon is consistently a letdown. Every time I order it, the bacon is scorched and blackened, with a crunchy texture like drywall. It's frustrating because this could be the perfect breakfast spot, but they seriously need to improve their bacon preparation. The college students working the grill need some basic training on how to cook bacon properly and stop serving burned bacon to customers.

Budget-friendly, fast sandwiches with great staff
My experience at this restaurant was that of a budget operation run by new owners. I started visiting for relatively cheap and very fast sandwiches. While the hoagie rolls have been out of stock every time I go, the sandwiches themselves are VERY basic but good. They offer a step up from pre-made options and are the same price. The staff are wonderful and clearly community focused; I've seen them offer hot water to non-customers multiple times. Overall, it's a solid choice for a quick, no-frills meal.

Disappointing French Dip Experience
I used to frequent this restaurant years ago when I was a grad student, and the guy behind the counter was nice and made good food. It must have been sold since then. Today, I got a French dip with only two thin slices of beef. The au jus came in a plastic container that was too hot to carry back to my hotel. There were no napkins, and no one offered a smile. Perhaps it's because I'm taking my hubby to UW Medical for cancer treatment, but if I find myself back in the U-district, I can safely say I will pass.

Delivery sandwich skimps on meat
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. While the Service, Atmosphere, and Food all received a perfect score of 5, there was a noticeable difference in the portion size of the meat depending on how the order was placed. If you order for pick up, you get more meat on the sandwich. However, they seem to skimp on the delivery sandwich.
