“TLDR: you HAVE to try this place!!

In town for business and stopped here today for lunch. At first since the line was long I almost left, but decided to stick it out. They were whipping through the line very fast for how busy it was! I got the lunch special mambo sciciliano sandwich with potato salad and let me tell you, it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time! The portions are massive, everything was fresh, and amazingly delicious. Please do yourself a favor and go!“

“Best Sandwiches with an awesome friendly staff.“

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.“

“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.“

“I drive 45 minutes to get my Fassi fix. I love the place“

“Top-quality ingredients and the nicest people!!“

“Came here randomly for my birthday and I'm am very satisfied. There was a worker there to greet us and get our order. It didn't take long to decide what to get and it was ready and fresh very quickly. Ordered a beef sandwich with bacon and peppers and it was delicious, they cooked the bacon fresh. The chicken bacon ranch mac'n cheese bowl and the garlic cheese bread are both delicious and pair great together. The building is very clean on the inside. We will definitely be returning here.“

“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:)“

“Not a bad Chicken Club at all with thick juicy chunks of white chicken, plenty of imitation bacon bits and a good mix of lettuce and a small but flavorful Thousand Island and the Ravioli is nicely aldente' and sank in plenty of sauce. The service was great, even late, and the restaurant was in good shape. The price is what got to me. Honesty, I was kicking myself in the buttocks because it was $18 for this meal and no drink when, with all do respect, a can of Chef Boyardi and a Pre-Packed Deli salad would have been about $7 and basically the equivalent. I'm just saying. I do appreciate the work this crew does here but realistically it's pretty pricey. I didn't feel bad at all for sitting down with my own can drink.“

“My wife wanted Lions Choice for lunch on Mother’s Day. I commend all the men for being friendly hard working employees and giving the ladies off to enjoy the day with their children. Good job guys.“

“Absolutely delicious home style food. You could tell it has a core group of locals that come when they walk in and no order is needed they had food brought right to them. Absolutely speaks volumes to customer loyalty. If we lived local we would be regulars. For now it was excellent fule for our day, and we thank you for that!“

“What can I say but WOW! This place is amazing! I went in expecting it to be like any other sandwich shop, but I was blown away. The owner is so nice and lovely to chat with, and boy does she make a mean sandwich. I got the Crown Vic and a tortilla wrap and I gotta say, I will be coming back for another one“

“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!“

“Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop was located right next to my eye doctor, so my Mom and I decided to have lunch here. The staff were friendly and the owner was front and center, in front of the register. I chose the BLT and my Mom got the Homemade Turkey. I liked my BLT and my Mom enjoyed her Homemade Turkey, but she noted that the turkey was a bit too dry for her tasting. The bread was super good but almost a bit too filling since it’s a soft white bread. We would come back though because it was somewhat affordable and very clean inside.“

“Absolutely loved this place! It is a top-notch must-stop when you’re in the area for a Budweiser tour. They clearly get their fair share of tourists, but never once did they make us feel like anything other than valued guests.

The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. It’s clear they know how to handle visitors while still providing a genuine, welcoming atmosphere.

I would 1000% recommend stopping by if you’re in the area, and I will definitely be returning on my next visit!“

“For years I have been coming to this location. And its never fells me. The food be good. I love how you added chicken strips & macaroni and cheese. My grandkids love it. And of course customers service is great. And always a blessing to see the workers thats been there a long time. 🥰“

“We love their loaded sub! I raved about it so much that my husband decided to try it, which is completely out of the norm. Now, we travel from about 20 miles away just for these great sandwiches! I should tell you I'm not a huge sandwich fan, so this says a lot. The bagels are fantastic also, and I am a very particular about needing chewy bagels. The carrot cake cheesecake was also excellent, but it truly is not cheesecake. it is simply carrot cake but it's very good!“

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

“I was in the area on an errand and got hungry. Used HappyCow and found Fozzie’s was close by. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Their menu is broad. The ambience of the restaurant was eclectic and clean. I chose to sit inside and eat while looking out the very clean windows. Staff was friendly and the food was piping hot! So hot I picked up a french fry and quickly had to put it down because it was hot but that’s a good thing! It was a joy to hear kitchen staff cutting items to make orders. So my visit satisfied, all five senses. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-26“

“Had the pleasure of grabbing some food from the restaurant and the encounter was great! Was greeted with a welcoming smile. I wasn't rushed by the cashier , he took his time explaining new menu items.He was an absolute pleasure and the food was amazing! Job well done!! 👏🏾👏🏾“

““Voted the best gyro in STL“ and we had to stop by. Not going to be saying it’s the best in STL, but may stand a chance to be in our top 5. The service is friendly, generous, and lets you pick a tiny packet of chips to go with your order.

The sauce is a giant tub and despite that the person at the counter said it maybe small but will suffice. I loaded it up on my sandwich and still had a half left. The sauce is massive people. It isn’t tzatziki made of yogurt and cucumbers but has mayo mixed in it. It wasn’t savory, but almost very sweet tasting. Still can’t pinpoint what was in it, but it was different and tasty.

The gyro meat was premade hopefully on a spit. They only had to reheat it on a griddle. It was tender, juicy, but lacked the flavor of a gyro. The seasoning was tasty, but given that it was being reheated may have been the reason for its missing flavor. It’s huge and will easily fill you up. My partner and I split it and didn’t even reach for the packet of chips. Yes, we did have our home made salad on the side. Give this place a shot, it’s better than the other Americanized versions of Middle East cuisine.“

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

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great food & very clean establishment!“

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

“Best Subway in the country. Service is fast and friendly. Free cookies most of the time. Most important, this is the only Subway that still offers spicy/brown mustard. Subway has officially taken it off the menu but this store still carries it because the owners like it.“

“The server was down for most of the St.Louis locations and the pickup order I thought I had placed using a gift card didn't go through, so it wasn't ready when I got there. They tried to work with me and Amanda patiently tried to get it all entered for me, but it wouldn't go through correctly. The manager made it right by taking care of the bill and letting me know that they want my business and knew I had been waiting and had ordered it through the app. Amanda later came back to my table to check on me. I will definitely keep coming back and it's close to home, they are very nice, and the food is good. I was at the Des Peres location.“

“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!! :)“

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

“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!“

“Steak and cheese sandwich is the best!“

“They don’t always get my order right and it’s usually only missing 1 ingredient. I wish I could take off only 1/4 star because it’s not a huge deal, but that can be a hit or miss for people and everyone makes mistakes. Since I can’t it’s staying at a 5. This place particularly makes a great sandwich. I’m in a different area and they make the sandwiches super sloppy, kudos to the presentation of the sandwiches and freshness.“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“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!)“

“Anytime my family and I come into this location, everyone here is always so lovely and kind.
They are very patient when my son orders his food and even with me when I’ve had a long work day myself and have to come here for dinner.
We will always continue to come to this location even though there’s one a few minutes closer; this one will always be our go to subway.
Thank you to all the staff that works at this location that continues to make our experience amazing!
Much love ❤️“

“Great customer service and clean store Amariana was great in taking my order and helps me pick something different. Bernard always does great with keeping the store together. I'm happy with the great job and I'm passing up a store in Florissant to come to your store so that says a lot thank you.“

“First time in an actual sub shop, everyone was very nice.Food tasted Great.prices wasn't too bad they even got me to eat stuff that I don't really don't like my sandwiches and it tasted wonderful I really enjoyed this place and I got the cold italian sandwich and a hot Ruben sandwich both great and super flavorful“

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

“On 6-2-26 around 11:00 am I had a great experience at the Subway on Hampton Avenue. The two ladies who helped me were friendly, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in. Their positive attitude made the visit even better. I ordered a tuna sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious—the bomb! Everything was fresh, made just right, and tasted great. Excellent customer service and a great meal. I'll definitely be back!

Hear me out, you gotta try this combo.
Italian herb and cheese bread
Tuna with provolone toasted.
Tomato, cucumber, red onion, banana peppers and honey mustard.“

“Had a really tasty sandwich.“

“Place is not much to look at and the food is average subway quality and more expensive than it should be. However the gentleman working there today was friendly, made conversation, and even recommended a new sauce to try that really hit the spot. Great service today.“

“My husband and I came in last minute (like 15 mins before close) I typically dislike doing so because having worked in the food industry for several years, I know it can sometimes be irritating. However Dominick and Jacob were working tonight! Both of these gentleman were sooo incredibly welcoming! Dominick did great with suggestions as it was our first time visiting Jersey Mike’s! Customer service was A1! Thank you both for a great experience!“

I was passing by and I stoped for lunch , the 2 ladies behind the counter were polite professionals and on the top of everything , the sub was delicious, fresh cut vegetables, lovely cookies , it was one of my best experience .
Thank you“

“Krystal aka pinky she’s always has great customer service she remembers my voice over the phone when I call to place an order and she already know my order she’s always helping out she even helps other staff members when they are busy she always lends a helping hand“

“We recently used McAlister’s catering for a luncheon at the Bridgeton Recreation Center, and overall, we were very happy with the experience.

I had to call the 800 number to place the order, but it was surprisingly easy to get through to someone and get everything set up. We were tax-exempt, and that process was also very simple. I just had to send an email with the information, they sent us an invoice, and then we called to make the payment. Easy peasy!

We requested delivery for 10:45 a.m. and they were about five minutes late, which was enough of a delay that I went ahead and called to check on the order. Thankfully, the driver arrived shortly afterward. The delivery itself was a little chaotic, though. The driver was in a personal vehicle, and when she opened the trunk, a few of the lunch bags fell onto the ground. We had several people arriving at the same time, so we all grabbed a bag and helped get everything inside.

I will say that the bags did smell a little bit like smoke, which wasn’t ideal, but thankfully the food itself was fine.

The lunches were delicious! We ordered club sandwiches with chips, a cookie, and of course, a pickle. I also really appreciated that the vegetarian and gluten-free meals were clearly marked, which made it very easy to get the right meals to the right people without having to open everything up and figure it out.

Aside from the slightly late delivery and the delivery mishap, everything went smoothly. The ordering and payment process was easy, the food was tasty, and the special dietary meals were clearly labeled.

We would definitely use McAlister’s catering again for another luncheon. Hopefully next time the delivery is a little less eventful!“

“I am a Veteran and live close to this location, when I stop in I get the Veterans discount in which I really appreciate! This is a well run store, very efficient and fast, nice employees who always take the time to get it right!
The Manager here, Roberto is a Superstar, hard worker and you can tell everyone there likes him, I will be back!“

“Go! Take some time to take in the art and the space.“

“Had an amazing experience at Penn Station Subs! The staff was super friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. One employee mentioned he’s been making subs for 20 years, and it truly showed in the quality and care put into our food. Everything was made fresh to order, the subs were absolutely delicious, the fries were hot and perfectly cooked, and the lemonade tasted fresh and refreshing. The cookies were soft, fresh, and amazing as well!

We originally planned to take our food to go, but the service was so welcoming and enjoyable that we decided to dine in instead. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and definitely one of the best sandwich spots around. Would absolutely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Tanisha was amazing to work with on placing two orders for our work meetings. Her professionalism is amazing and she made sure our orders and time of deliveries were correct. Thank you for the great hospitality. She deserves Employee Of The Month for sure!!“
