Many years ago, zookz was a staple for my family, anytime we went to Phoenix, we would go. Then I…read moregot a gluten allergy and tearfully haven't been back. Randomly I thought about them and was shocked they had gluten free bread now. My kids were difficult, saying nothing sounded good, acting all picky over everything but they gave in trying something new. Apples and cranberries on a sandwich, the horror! And she hates mustard but left it on, guess what, it's her favorite! Everything was just as we remember. It will be back on our regular rotation. My only complaint is the sides. I have never been a fan of the sides and they haven't changed lol. I wish there was a less adventurous side option, like fruit or a simple salad. But I think I am alone in the complaint lol. Can someone please open one in Tucson!

I went with the bang bang burger and kale salad -- a side comes with the lunch sandwiches. I was hesitant on kale but she mentioned it gets great feedback and I am glad I tried it! The kale salad has citrus and other goodies in it (sorry, I forget what!) and the kale wasn't tough at all. The dressing is lightly sweet and refreshing. Definitely recommend! The bang bang burger was delicious and filling without being overly heavy. They also had cans of local beer - Huss Blonde and Papago Orange Blossom - and a couple of speciality cocktails, along with various canned and bottled non-alcoholic drinks and fountain drinks. Its a cute shop with a patio and one side was open to the nice weather. A woman stopped to check in - I think she was the manager - who was really nice. Looking forward to coming back for a breakfast sandwich! (And more kale salad)

My SIL -Gabi M, picked up a turkey, cheese, bacon, broccoli salad with the most delicious dressing and it brought me back to my college days when I would stop into their Tempe location.

The vibe in Scottsdale is cute with an outdoor area and +100000 for the Choc chip cookies they give you with each salad of Sando!

I like that they sell mini versions of their bar desserts for only $1. It's a great way to try a sweet treat, and for the price they are a decent size. The mini dream bar is really good. Bertha's gives a free cookie with their entrees but they're usually pretty dry and chalky. But hey, they're free. I usually order online and pick it up. It's always fast and I like that you can pick up your food on a rack next to the register.

We had the Joe's Original Italian sub and Eggplant Parmesan along with a slice of carrot cake. Everything was freshly made a nicely presented in a casual setting.

The cheese was melted on the bottom of the bread that looked better than it tasted. Hardly any sauce The chicken was slightly breaded strips of chicken, not what I was looking for. Also tried turkey and provolone, but the bread again was one of the problems amd turkey quality and sandwich construction were poor. Pasta salad side was miserable with undercooked Ziti with no flavor. Cramped deli needs new layout too.

I don't eat sandwiches often but when I do, I want to make sure it's worth it! The owners were so friendly and the food was quick.

The location is convenient, especially being close to the airport.
