Take It Away Sandwich Shop, UVa Corner

Sandwich and chips (no drink) cost over $15. Sandwich was soggy, and dressing was on the side instead of on the sandwich for some reason? (Did not ask for dressing to be on side). Did not receive free cookie with sandwich.

I got a turkey sandwich on sourdough with provolone cheese and the house dressing. Great sandwich! There was a little too much of the house dressing for my liking, but still delicious! The house dressing has a mayonnaise taste rather than the advertised mustard, still nice! Great selection of potato chips and small desserts. I had a chocolate chip cookie. Also delicious! Will definitely be visiting again to try their soups!

Waited an hour for my sandwich, had people getting their orders before me, even though they got there significantly later than me. Very clearly do not have a system for getting orders out in order and efficiently. I had to go back to the cashier twice to get my order made, and it was messy and poorly made (looks like they were in a rush to make them), seemed like they just completely lost my order. Happened to other people waiting as well. Not going back, wasted so much of my time

Great sandwiches!!! Love this place!

Really good but y’all need to add fresh tomatoes to the menu I’m begging

Veggie lentil sandwich was delicious and I can see why they sell the dressing in jars. Deducted a star since I wish the sourdough was toasted as it got a bit soggy. Reminds me of my favorite sandwich shop at UT Austin that closed during covid

I was at UVA and wanted a local quick lunch. TIA had good reviews so I tried it. It was the late lunch rush and they were busy. My order was mixed up and I had to ask for it, after many that had come in after me, and got their order well before me. The sandwich was very good. And the bread was good tasting but the crust was a bit hard and took a lot of chewing. Overall it was a good sandwich. I don't understand those that say they are high priced it was , less than $8.50 including tax in 2024. It's not a giant sandwich but it was less than $10. I'll try it again and see if the bread is more to my liking texture-wise. I've had better sandwiches but it's a better sandwich than the big chain places and less expensive. I'd say a solid 3.5 maybe a 4 if you really like the bread or their house dressing/sauce.

Great bread with my delicious sandwich today. Very generous size, excellent!

Best sandwich place! My husband and I have to eat there whenever we visit the area. It never disappoints

Our car club was attending an event and picked this shop to order and pick up lunches for everyone on the way. The sandwiches were above par and fresh however the service (phone) was less so. I called to get the required information to place my order and my perception was calling was not their favored method of communication. I understand that the proximity to an active college campus can be daunting and create a bustle of activity but a customer is still a customer whether in person or on the phone. The person to who I spoke was short, bothered and very rude so much so that I was concerned I would not get the order I had placed and paid for the previous day. Again the food was quite good, freshly baked and with premium ingredients but the customer service was severely lacking. Recommended if you're a fan of Seinfeld and want the whole "no soup for you" experience but if you are a discerning diner who relishes service as well as substance, look elsewhere.

I went to college here 20 years ago and just now came back to visit. It's as amazing as I remember! A must when coming here. The bread is like no other.

I honestly don't know how this place stays in business. Undiscerning college kids? They can't get an order right to save their lives. The tuna and chicken salads are way over-seasoned and drowned in mayo. I love how they go on about their house dressing. It's nothing special, basically mayo mixed with dijon or brown mustard. Also, no standard toppings. Tomatoes are roasted in lots of oil, red onions instead of white, etc. Finally, most of the breads have tough crusts that are very hard to chew. If you want a great sandwich in town, go to Ivy Provision or Market Street Market.

Take it Away was recommended by a friend when we toured UVA. It did not disappoint. Fresh baked bread. Fresh everything. And tasty house dressing. A great local experience. I'd go back without hesitation.
