Support your local sandwich master!“

“Sandwiches were super delicious! Not gonna lie, I wish they had some mayo or something ? but other than that it was yummy! The sandwiches we got had a lot on them so definitely worth the $$ but I would love to try one of their more simple sandwiches!“

“Cold Shoulder Gourmet isn’t just the best sandwich shop in Charleston, it’s a full-blown culinary experience disguised as a casual lunch spot. The owner Craig, is genuinely one of the nicest humans I’ve ever met, and watching him work the sandwich station is like watching Picasso paint… if Picasso had access to truffle cream cheese and fresh-baked focaccia.

Get the Spicy 🥵 with capicola, nduja, truffle cream cheese/hot sauce, arugula, and parmesan. If you’re lucky enough to catch it, it’s a religious experience. Run, don’t walk. 😋“

“This place was delicious! There is something for everyone here, Highly recommended 🔥🔥🔥“

“Nice little neighborhood gem with fresh tasty panini, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Plus their fresh lemonade is delish too“

“I love this location. I love that I can order my meal ahead of time in the app and drive thru the drive thru to pick it up. I always put special instructions on my orders and every single time they go above and beyond! Thanks for the extra mayo and vinegar cups I ask for every time I order!!! You guys make a mean sub 😁“

“My family and I had Paisano's while on vacation last week. I can tell you that it was some of the best pizza and sandwiches we have ever had! We will definitely be back!“

“The only issue I have is that new guy on the grill making the hot subs—he messes up my sub EVERY SINGLE TIME! How hard is it to follow a ticket? The young ladies who take the order write down exactly what I ask for, but as soon as it gets to him, it’s like he decides, “Screw it, I’ll do what I want!” Who does that? I’m beyond frustrated! I’ll probably go back because the place is decent otherwise, but I am DONE ordering hot subs unless I can stand there and personally supervise this guy messing with my food!!!“

“Have had great experiences at this location. Friendly staff and seemingly more delicious food but this is my new home store from now on. Just want to thank them all again because this kind our outgoing friendliness isn’t found everywhere. Thanks again“

“The employees are amazing. I go there and it's like going to Waffle House. They know your usual. I give them a 10 🌟 RATING. The ladies that work there are fabulous & Fantastic Plus they are all generous and kind. Diana is 1 of th3 best employees there. She is on top of her game when I walk through the door“

“I like the Subway at Citadel Mall in West Ashley. They are a good Subway in just about every aspect and the location is perfect inside the mall, but still enclosed and separate from the food court area. They are consistent in their quality and sandwich artistry and I have always had excellent sandwiches every time that I have been here. The staff here is cool and listens well.“

“I have not had Subway in years due to a few bad experiences and the rise of Jersey Mikes, but there are some things you just can't get at other chains. For myself, it is the sweet onion chicken teriyaki. A few months ago, I gave this location a shot...Hands down, one of the most consistent and friendly experiences I think I've ever had at a fast food joint (the first time and the 4 or 5 times since). Sauce and condiments are inside the bread where they belong when I get home to eat. No pic as I barely got the car in park when I got home to eat...“

“I walked in at lunch rush. The lady who was running the team had two brand new team members on staff, with a huge line forming very quickly. She was ver apologetic and explained that someone had just walked out on her and the other two teammates were brand new. She had the best attitude even though she was overwhelmed, and she was very communicative about the situation with everyone who came in or called. I know those situations are tough and she handled it amazingly.“

“Fresh and delicious 😋 super fast delivery 🚚“

“The sandwich was good, but the tuna and veggies could be fresher. However it's a fast paced area so I could understand.

Vegetarian options: I would like to see the plant based meatball sandwiches return and other plant based options as well“

“This place has the best hot subs around. Every time I go there I have tried a different sandwich and I have loved everyone of them.. they are reasonably priced and affordable. Most if the employees were wonderful at this location. The older woman who took our order and money was not nice at all.. it seemed like she does not like working with the public and should be in a different career field but what ever.. luckily we were done with her after we paid for our order.. I would say you gotta try this place out if you haven't already“

“A big shout out to the four ladies behind the counter, who helped me on a hot steamy day. My grandson craved a cheesesteak after surgery at children’s hospital. He wasn’t able to eat the first one so I went back three days later to the same shop, and these same ladies gave me yet another cheese steak on the house! Love you guys we are coming back!“
