I came in after work, no one was in the store to greet me or take my order. After about 5 minutes, I see the woman eating food in the back. When she finally came to take my order she seemed upset and bothered. My sub firehouse steak and cheese sub was cold and disgusting. The only thing going for this restaurant is the clean dining room, which was empty because these ladies are ignoring guests coming into the lobby :)

I visited on 9/3/2025 at about 5:45pm at the shop on Fish Hatchery Rd. near the Beltline Highway in Madison WI
I have an allergy to chicken and turkey. I know it's a rare allergy and I have some patience with people who don't get it. I would still go to this restaurant because they have good sandwiches. I want to say that at the get-go. They do have very good sandwiches. However, I went there today and I asked the guy at the order station if there's any chicken or turkey in the salami or pepperoni. I had to ask about nine different ways and he couldn't answer my question. He just said they come in a big sleeve of meat and we have no idea what's in them. I don't believe that. I think they come in boxes and then the sleeves are in the boxes and on the boxes are labels. Any kind of decent customer service would involve the guy saying I'm not sure but let me check and then running back to the cooler and check in the label on the box. That's not that big of a deal. I'm not asking for the moon, just what ingredients are in the salami. I ended up having to order something I didn't want because I was hungry and I did not have the patience to continue this conversation that was going nowhere.This restaurant has good recipes and good food, but the customer service is quite lackluster.

Love the sub here! However, I don't know what's wrong with the staff she basically doesn't want to care about any customers

It seems like they forgot to warm my soup up at all, so I didn't feel safe eating half my meal. I also am assuming there's something wrong with the online order system, since I chose chicken dumpling (confirmed on the online receipt) but the physical receipt listed potato soup, which is what the cold soup was. Even the oyster crackers were stale.
The quality and quantity for the price, excellent made sandwiche
