“Best Sandwiches with an awesome friendly staff.“

“We ordered a couple different sandwiches.. including the ORIGINAL… and holy smokes!! The ORIGINAL HOT SALAMI.. STOP! Right there .. unbelievable.. we also had the Meatball, and the Italian Trio.. but I’m trying every thing on the menu! 13 STARS“

“We were traveling from out of town and decided to stop at Adriana’s for lunch and I’m so happy we did! The staff is so friendly and treat you like you’ve known them for years.

The food was of course delicious as well. My spouse got the Italian Beef and subbed the regular bread for garlic cheese bread (HIGHLY recommend doing this!). I got the Joe with a side of pasta salad.

This a cute sandwich shop and we definitely recommend going for a delicious lunch!“

“The food is delish and service is great. We go there often. On Sunday, we went at noon, which we had not done before, and almost every table was full. We had to sit in the back area where there are tables with chairs and it was a tight fit. They also have tables with booths and some high tops but they were full. Seriously, the seating on Sunday is the only complaint that I have. The fact that they were packed is a testament to their amazing food, service, and cleanliness.“

“Worked here for many years, Kipp and his family have always been great to me. Now, I get the pleasure of taking my family in anytime we are in the city! If you’re going to the zoo, this is a must stop! If you’re going to the Cardinals game fill up here and you won’t regret it.“

“Delivery | $30–50 Yes, I ordered through DoorDash. I got the Reuben sandwich. I got the strawberry feta mandarin salad with the poppyseed dressing and a slice of gooey butter cake. First of all the gooey butter cake was not done at all. It was very runny in the middle and I’ve had gooey butter cake my entire life and never have had something that looks like lemon meringue pudding that was not a delightful experience. The salad on the other hand was amazing. I loved it the poppyseed dressing was very very good 10 out of 10. The sandwich was packaged cute I recommend you not putting the jolly rancher next to the sandwich because bare hands touched the outside of those wrappers and then you put them in with the food which contaminate it now the sauerkraut, was that even sauerkraut because it tasted like coleslaw I like to have SAUERKRAUT on my Reuben sandwich that is sour and plentiful. There was hardly any on there, but I’m kind of glad since it was more like coleslaw and the thousand Island dressing was that even that? Because it was very watery and my suggestion is when you’re sending a sandwich on a delivery that has a sauce on it, put it on the side my bread was wet and soggy. It was not warm at all whatsoever so I gave the entire order a 6 1/2 out of 10.“

“Great service along with great sandwiches!! Wining combo!“

“My husband & I ordered Pickleman's from our hotel after a concert. They delivered right to the hotel. We ordered sandwiches & they were very good. I highly recommend this place:)“

“First time at Picklemans. Staff was upbeat and courteous. Great value for the money. Restaurant clean. Bread was fresh, vegetables fresh. Lemonade was awesome. The chips were a brand I wasn't familiar with, but they were delicious. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was that the chicken salad was a bit bland. Otherwise, I would recommend and will go back again.“

“Went through the drive thru 12/9:24 around 5 pm. The employees working the drive thru were amazing. I hadn’t been to lions choice in well over a year and they were so helpful it was such a great change to the usual rude drive thru service at every other place on the rock road. I didn’t get their names but I hope your employers know what a great group of employees they have. Oh food was great also I don’t like roast beef because it’s pink in the middle. They offered to cook it longer I never even thought to ask this question. 10/10“

“best sandwiches on the planet“

“Rob was so nice. It was my first time. He made excellent recommendations. They were spot on. Delicious. All of the staff was amazing. It was a beautiful day to sit on the patio. I will definitely be back!“

“Proper old school diner with the kind of filling food you would hope to find. Only draw back is no all day breakfast, but the lunch fare was more than worth missing out. The bacon cheeseburger was somehow both a delightful fried and crispy flat top smash burger and the kind of thick patty you'd usually find in one of those $20 'gourmet' burger joints.“

“Yum! This is a great LC location — clean, extremely quick, and everything tasted super good and fresh. My only gripe is that they never make my sandwich medium rare. It’s always medium well. Besides that, no problems. Lion’s Choice is a great chain.“

“Lettvint mat, når en vandrer gatelangs. Smakte veldig godt, trivelig betjening.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium is like a flavor explosion wrapped in bread. Every sandwich feels like it was dreamed up by someone who’s both a culinary genius and a little bit of a mad scientist—in the best way possible. Unique? Absolutely. Delicious? Without question.

The staff? Wonderful. They’ve got that perfect mix of friendliness and efficiency that makes you feel welcome the second you walk in.

Now, a word of advice: this is a take-out adventure. The inside is cozy… as in “blink and you’ll miss it” cozy. And the outside seating? Let’s just say you’ll get a free side of traffic soundtrack with your meal. But honestly—do not let this stop you. Just grab your masterpiece of a sandwich, find a comfy spot elsewhere, and enjoy.

Bottom line: Fozzie’s is proof that amazing flavor trumps location every single time.“

“Food was great, service was great … if we are ever back in St. Louis we will go back“

“Great sandwiches and soups“

“Great little spot in Soulard for lunch or dinner. They have a very expensive menu, everything is fresh and made to order, great drink selection as well. My suggestion is that you go with the honey, mustard, chicken sandwich, and you can’t go wrong. I also tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, and it was also excellent. Everything I’ve had here in the past few years has been awesome, they have great service, and it is well worth the stop it

A great alternative to eating at the brewery if you’re going on a tour and need a bite to eat after.“

“Such great service! Our sandwiches were made fresh and tasted delicious, and Rajitha was so intentional and kind. I totally did not expect such a good experience at this little local Subway but my day was made by stopping by this location and being personally seen and cared for by the employees. Thank you for making a quick stop for dinner on the road home a beautiful moment of human kindness. :)“

“Great food & very clean establishment!“

“I stopped in today and picked up a couple Italian sandwiches for my wife and myself. What a pleasant experience! The food's incredible, the people are incredible, and they're nice and close to my home. We most certainly will be repeat customers. Thank you!“

“Justin was top notch and delivered quickly. Sandwich was probably the best I’ve had in STL.“

“The lady inside was SO NICE and personable. My fiance had gone in to get our food while I tended to our baby and he ended up getting my sandwich toasted. I can’t eat warm meat so I took it back in myself and explained to her about my issue and she fixed it no problem and didn’t argue at all even tho it was definitely our fault!

She said she has recently become full owner of the shop and she’s doing a fantastic job! Come support this small business!!!“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“Best Alfredo pasta and every time you walk in it smells like heaven“

“Jersey Mike's on Lindbergh was clean, employees were all professional and friendly. I had never been to one but friends raved about how great the sandwiches tasted. All my questions were answered. I picked four types and was pleased. Fresh bread and meat. I watched as sandwiches were made. Everyone at poker enjoyed them. Philly steak was delicious, very popular. Ham and cheese and roast beef with provolone followed by premier club were the choices. Oh, I purchased a BLT for dinner at home later....yum.“

“Fantastic sandwiches and a fair price. Bread is outstanding!“

“I live only 3 minutes away from this market, and it’s been always a place to go either I just need some eggs or wine, or I am in the mood for their delicious sandwiches. Everyone is extremely helpful and nice, including the owner I had tons of fun conversations with. I’m moving out of Kirkwood this week, and will miss this market dearly! Best of luck, you guys are awesome! Your friendly neighbor, Angelina ?“

“I like this location, bit far for me but was at a dr.app close an wanted subway an went to this location,clean greeted as we walked in i appreciate it a great food. Both times i visited id recommend this location its a nice subway,an appreciate how i was treated at this location. 😊“

“Loved 🥰 the food and service“

“This place was very clean and has a friendly staff“

“I order catering from this location pretty frequently and the team is always so great. Danielle always sends nice handwritten notes with the order and Alex went above and beyond for me today when I had to place a last minute catering order. I'm so appreciative of the excellent customer service we always receive from the team!“

“Just grabbed lunch from here & I get back to my office & see that I have three tiny pieces of avocado on my sandwich. The manager, Rory, was nice enough to walk to my office & bring me more! Thank you Rory!! :)“

“I have been coming to this subway for years now. I come every Tuesday but started coming on Sundays because this location started SUNDAY FUNNY QUOTES! I definitely enjoy the bags ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! But unfortunately I've been out of town for a couple months and I just got back and my first stop was Subway I went in there tonight to get my funny quote bag (or a couple ) just to be a little disappointed to find out the young lady that started it does not do it anymore THE TWO EMPLOYEES THAT WAS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY JOYFUL THEY MADE ME FEEL WELCOME AND SPREAD AMAZING HOSPITALITY THIS LOCATION IS TOP OF THE LINE. This location has done a 180 in 8 months the foods better. the employees are better. the environment so much better
BRING BACK FUNNY QUOTE SUNDAY“

“Steak and cheese sandwich is the best!“

“Listen… I’m a foodie and have done alot of traveling…. THIS hidden gem is one of the best sandwich spots I’ve ever had! You need to try this place 😍😍“

“Ryan and the other two employees working on Sunday, May 11th were amazing! We were traveling from out of town and they were friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made our first Pen Station experience incredible! Everything about this road trip stop was perfect- the employees, the food, and the clean restrooms! We will be sure to stop again next time we are driving through!“

“Had a really tasty sandwich.“

“This subway has my stomach and my respect. Yesterday there was a mishap with a sandwich I ordered and they apologized and took my information and explained how they could make up for it. I returned today and they upheld their end of the bargain. I’m more than satisfied because I was able to get what I wanted and that makes me happy.“

“you need to change the town to Dupo, IL on your page. Great chopped salad.“

“Gluten free Udis sub rolls! And everything on the menu except for the chicken Parm and meatballs are also gluten-free. This is a life-changing event for me to find Jersey Mike’s! Could not be happier!! (Plus super nice and helpful staff and great bottled root beer!)“

“The food and service were just fine when I went for the first time. The meatball marinara sub I opted for was just filling enough, AND tasted great topped with tomato, lettuce, provolone cheese, onions, green peppers, banana peppers, and Southwest chipotle sauce on Italian herb and cheese bread, slightly toasted. The cheese was just melted enough to give it a real pizza like texture and taste. Another favorite submarine sandwich I really like here is the Spicy Italian. Either way, they're always topped with plenty of meat and cheese! The chocolate chip and white macadamia nut cookies are really tasty. A foot long sub combo is more than enough for me to eat in one meal so I save half my sandwich for a snack later in the day. And the employees always seem friendly and do a great job making my sandwiches.

Vegetarian options: Available

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking spaces, entrance, and restrooms.“

“The McAlister’s Club with steamed broccoli and an Arnold Palmer (sweet tea + lemonade) is my cheat code for a solid lunch that feels like a treat but doesn’t leave me sluggish. The sandwich is always stacked just right — fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, crispy bacon, tender meats, and the cheddar/mayo combo is on point. The steamed broccoli on the side makes me feel like I halfway made a healthy choice 😂.

Plus, when I don’t feel like cooking or waiting in long lines, this is my default. Hits every time.

📸 Photos don’t lie — it’s giving lunch done right.“

“Goodbye subway! Your subs are played out. Hello Firehouse, I wish I had tried you sooner. I didn't come three days on a row🤭 Don't tell my husband. Your sandwiches are delicious and fresh. We have tried the turkey bacon ranch, the Italian and the meatball sub. 🔥🤤“

“This is my first time going to jersey mike at this location. The sub that i got is similar to all the other jersey mike subs that i had tried. There is sufficient amount of meats.

It was busy when me and a friend went here. So the wait was about 15-20 minutes long. There were plenty of tables to sit at and there were plenty of parking.“

“I love this place,Great subway!! always provide fresh, soft and healthy food. Staff was very friendly and cooperative.Sitting area was neat and clean. mostly i visited here.Wonderful place to eat and spend special time with your friends.Fully satisfied. 5 star!!!“

“Hands down for the last three weeks in a row I've gone to the Subway in Rock Hill on Manchester and gotten the friendliest service. The lady at the counter was genuinely nice and seems to really care about her quality of service. All the ingredients we're full and fresh that we added to my hot foot long sandwich. The restaurant was clean and organized. I've been eating half of the footlong sandwich for dinner and taking the other half for lunch at work the next day. I conclude that one lady's passion for doing her job well with a nice smile has made me and others into regular good customers as well.“

“The restaurant is always clean and the ladies are very nice and professional all the timeI also want to add that the bread and vegetables along with cookies are always freshEverything is outstandingIf I want Subway I always wait until I’m near the Kingshighway and Natural Bridge location to get my sandwich“
