Today I got the Italian on an everything bagel (sans peppers and onions, to explain the lack of veggies in the picture) and they've knocked it out of the park again! I got it to go thinking (stupidly) that this sandwich is somehow portable. It is not. This sandwich demands you be seated and give it your undivided attention (and a sacrifice of at least 20 napkins). Roll up your sleeves, bring a bib, and try this place. It's amazing

The sandwiches were fresh, well-portioned, and had that classic Schlotzsky's flavor I was looking for. No complaints on the meal itself. The Service: The service was just okay. It wasn't particularly fast or friendly, but it wasn't rude either--just very "middle of the road." Our order was accurate, which is the main thing, but the atmosphere from the staff felt a bit indifferent. Cleanliness: This is where the experience fell short. The cleanliness was well below standard, specifically in the restroom. It was poorly maintained, with trash on the floor and an overall neglected appearance. It's hard to fully enjoy a meal when the facility's upkeep is lacking. Overall: Great sandwiches, but the management needs to put some serious effort into cleaning and maintaining the restaurant. I'd consider the drive-thru next time instead of eating in.

I had the Cordo Blue for $10, fries for $3.50 and a drink for $3. Plus tax and tip I spent almost $18. An equivalent combo at Zaxby's is $10. Granted the chicken sandwich LOOKs huge but it's really a chicken breast pounded flat so it's about twice the size of the small bun. That just made it hard and messy to eat. The the fries are what I call "Five Guys" fries. Fresh cut but cooked floppy and a huge mound of them. I know it's a personal preference but I like fries crispy. It seems the strategy here is to give you a huge pile of inexpensive potatoes, pound the chicken breast and make it look huge by using a small bun to make you think you're getting value for the higher prices. Oh, and they are a Pepsi shop, near Atlanta, the home of Coca-Cola. So, I tried it, I don't have to go back.

Let's start with the appetizers. The hush puppies are a must. They come with a hot honey glaze on top, and that combo is ridiculously good. Sweet, crispy, and just packed with flavor. The fried okra was something I've never had before. No breading--just split in half and fried as-is. Super unique and honestly really good. If you like okra, you've gotta try it this way. For sandwiches, my wife had the pig melt, which is their take on a pulled pork sandwich on Texas toast. The pork was tender, juicy, and stacked nicely, definitely a solid choice. I had the BBQuban, their BBQ twist on a Cuban sandwich, and it was excellent. Great flavor, well put together, and something a little different from the usual. The meats across the board were done right. The turkey was tender and served in big, thick slices. The brisket had a good bark and paired well with their BBQ sauce. Sides were all solid. The mac and cheese was creamy (I added a little salt and it was perfect for me), baked beans were flavorful, and the collard greens were on point. And the banana pudding... easily one of the best I've had in the North Georgia area. If you're going here, don't skip it. The space itself is fun with a bar area, and the service was great. Everyone was friendly, and the food came out fast. Parking is available right out front, but just make sure you scan the code and register your tag so you don't get ticketed. You can also park in nearby decks if you prefer. Overall, this is a strong BBQ spot in Gainesville. Great variety, solid execution, and definitely worth checking out.

We were able to plan another party at nearby Recess, but are still are very disappointed with NGB management for not notifying us of the pending closure.
