Our gut grinder was delicious, great bread too, so glad we turned around and stopped.

This is a great place to eat. I recommend the hot pepper sandwich and French dip. A nice place to sit in the rainy weather and enjoy a meal

We had the Garbage Grinder for a second time. It is soooo good. You should try it, you won't be disappointed.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for the sandwich! A little sketchy in the outside but the sandwiches were absolutely the best!

Small little local fave! Laid back and casual. Was busy when I arrived. All of the tables were taken which is a good sign. Lots of choices. Had the Luau hot sandwich! Delicious, but messy! Get lots of napkins! read more

Being new to the neighborhood we want to try every place. I was disappointed with Luigi's, the price point for what you get is way off, I had ordered the spaghetti but she told me "they don't have any cooked noodles" so I got the meatball sub, the meatballs were the frozen kind and not even cooked all the way, Oh well read more

I grew up in Coos Bay and I've had several Garbage Grinders (minus the onions) and have always loved them. Too bad I live 7+ hours away because those sandwiches are the best I've ever had.. Quiznos and Subway are nothing in comparison. I just got to thinking I wanted one and it's too bad I'm so far away. I loved this place!! The last time we went to Coos Bay, we totally went there, but they were closed and my heart was broken read more

After reading other reviews I had high hopes for this place, thinking it should be better than Subway across the street. I ordered the Garbage Grinder and it was ok, but nothing special. If you're not a fan of onions be sure to tell them to go light or leave them off, they put on a LOT of onions. read more

Luigi's - Large Garbage Grinder - Italian Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Maybe it was my bad for ordering spaghetti and meatballs at a sandwich place. I asked for extra sauce, got a normal amount of sauce after they charged $3 extra for it. I got one, meatball. One. So for $17 this is what I got. The noodles taste like they're gluten free or maybe just not done. Not Al Dante done, just not done and not good. I'm sad and still hungry AF. Two stars for the garlic bread save. read more

Luigi's - One, tiny little meatball on top of some weird textured noodles, for $17. Hard pass. Won't be back. - Italian Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Solid sandwiches- very delicious. Thanks to fellow helpers for sending me here. This place is unassuming but worth a stop.

The same great grinder hoagies they served when I was a kid in the 1970's, with a cute new interior. I am happy they are still there. Friendly people and great sandwiches, with Italian sodas now! read more

Very quick and friendly service. Had one of the Grinder sandwiches and a Pina Colada. Our server suggested adding some half n half to the drink. Very good. Sandwich was excellent. read more

I've eaten at luigis for over 50 years... I don't live in the area anymore but when I come back to town that is the first place I eat at... I recently ate there and was extremely disappointed... Only 2 very thin slices of meat on the whole sandwich and barely any green peppers.. I can only attribute it to new management... I would pay a little more to have the sandwich like it used to be. read more

Been eating here for years. Always recommend to friends passing through town. Same reaction from everyone. Loved it. Under new ownership but really smart and maintained the same high quality. This place is a must. read more

Parking is a bit tight, building a bit sketchy, but don't be afraid! the sandwiches were AMAZING! Responsive and courteous staff as well! Will certainly stop again. read more

Really disappointed that the new owner is now using small hoagie rolls for the Regular size Hot pepper grinder, could not believe how small the sandwich's are now. I hardly had any meat on the Hot pepper sandwich, but did have a ton of onions. My boyfriend got the Large Pepperoni garbage grinder , and his hardly had any meat but had a ton of onions. Dont get me wrong the onions are delicious but we didn't want onions sandwich's . I ordered the Regular side pizza and my daughter who normally would eat their pizza refused it, the sauce tasted like tomato paste. The staff was friendly but that's the only good thing I can say. After I got home and saw the portion size I was mad that I paid 28.25 , and we were still being hungry after eating. That never happened when Helen ran the place. Really sad read more

This place is more take out than eat in, but so be it. Luigi's is always packed when they are open, and they are generally open for lunch. They have a facebook page that you can check for hours, but expect them to be closed Sunday and Monday, open 11-6 most other days (I think they close at 5 pm on Saturday). Luigi's is super divey, not much more to say about decor than that. A few tables and chairs and an ordering counter, that's about it. On the other hand, what more do you need? There is a pretty neat wall 'o' pictures to take in while you wait, and my companion even got a picture taken with the nice little old lady that runs this place for the wall- pretty much made his week. Prices at Luigi's are pretty high (like $8 a sandwich) for the area, but just like at Yeong's you get a lot of food for what you pay. This spot specializes in grinders, and is the only place like it in the area. Their claim to fame is the garbage grinder, but I particularly like the turkey grinder- thick slices of turkey breast, veggies, melted cheesy goodness, all grilled up and greasey. Not the hugest sandwich I have had but definitely not Subway either... authentic Luigi's. Yum! The original owner is the little old lady in the back that still does most of the cooking; she is sweet as pie and a damn good sandwich maker. Her daughter was running the register when I visited and was extremely friendly. I wanted to thank her for helping out with a fundraiser at the local community college, and she was very gracious. Luigi's is like that scary house that people tell stories about only to realize a really nice geriatric person lives there that they have missed out on getting to know for the last thousand years... so do like in Monster House folks and get in there! read more

The grinder is awesome as was the meatball sandwich. The service was wonderful. So big that we took half home.

It is the most disgusting place I ever ate at. The food made all of us sick for a couple of days. It was dirty and flies everywhere. Do yourself a favor. Run the other way. read more

Got 2 spagetti meatball meals. Not to bad seeing I'd never ate there before. Was pleasantly impressed and the waiting time wasn't bad. Thinking I'll make a visit again read more

Stick to the grinders. I had spaghetti, and had to order a meatball to go with it. The meatball was very small and was made ahead. It was not very tasty. No salad. read more

While eating here the staff said the owner changed a year about a year ago. It was a let down. Sparse vegetables, too much oil, sub par meat. read more

My sister and I Love The pizza bread; our childhood favorite. My sister also loved the blackberry creamosa. Very friendly and great customer service, will be returning. thanks so much read more

Very good Italian sandwich. I think I made a mistake in getting the pastrami instead of just an original garbage grinder but still very good. read more

I came back from the USAF base I was at in SoCal in 1976, used to having a big inexpensive sub sandwich capable of being used for two meals. Luigi's gave me one for more than twice the price with less than half the food and a bad attitude to boot. SCREW YOU GUYS AND IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT... You have missed out on over 3 decades of business from me and I've done everything I can to trash your rep. You got bad word of mouth in spades when you screwed me once with your pathetic attempt at making a sub sandwich. I've never seen a worse one since that time either. You couldn't pay me to eat there. read more

Giving them 4 stars because those bstrds Subway opened right across the street. 0 stars to Subway, gonna remember them for this. Next time there is a choice as I travel the other guy gets my biz. As for Luigi's ... good sandwiches, nice atmosphere. 3.99 stars read more

Okay, but nothing to travel out of your way for. Workmanlike sandwiches, but no bargains here. The people also seemed much friendlier to customers they seemed to know. Tight parking. Picnic table seating. Maybe an acquired taste? I guess we'll never know, read more

We all really enjoyed the food at Luigi's this evening - our first visit ever but certainly not our last. 1 Garbage Grinder 1 Hot LA 1 Pastrami Reuben 1 Pizza Bread w/ Pepperoni All were cooked perfectly and with just the right amount of sauce. The bread was evenly toasted and it was stuffed full of yummy fillings. Very friendly service. Family owned local favorite. Not a chain and that's what we love most. It's got character. read more

I love their spaghetti its so yummy! And super filling and there garlic cheesy bread it great as well, also their customer service is amazing and the workers are always patient and sweet!! read more

if you want savory you came to the right place please get the pizza bread with pepperoni it just hits DIFFERENT and get an italian soda ! my boyfriends and i ultimate spot they're so good reconsider this little place it's delicious !!! read more

Best sandwich I've ever had. My 4th time here. Holy moses the hot Italian was heaven in my mouth.

Had lunch with a friend the other day caught a head and made reservations due to Covid. They reserved a table for us. I had a small garbage sub. My friend had a ham and cheese sub. As we were eating I noticed the people ordering a pizza subs those looked amazing. Everything was cooked really good tasted great and the service was prompt. They have a side window on the side that you can order and pick up. They are in the middle of completely remodeling the dining room. Thank you for a great lunch. read more

The service has always been friendly, and I have never been disappointed with the food. I absolutely love the Garbage Grinder. I think it's great we have this place here in Coos Bay. read more

The service was very very friendly. They were very nice and I enjoyed the atmosphere. However, my sandwich was called like the Hot LA or so etching of that caliber, it was supposed to be spicy but holy mother of Christ there were so many jalapeños on this thing it was virtually inedible. And I LOVE spicy stuff, but this was so much it ruined the flavor of everything else on the sandwich. My husband got the special of spaghetti and meat sauce which they said "received raves" and was "to die for". ...meh, it was just okay. Very expensive for sandwiches. read more

Only made it through the front door to the counter. I was very inquisitive as to the composition of the sandwiches, my diet choice is a plant based one, so I tend to eat on a radical healthier level, (no offense to those who eat meat) Luigi's did NOT even have a whole wheat bun option, only enriched, nutritrent poor, white bread. I asked about a healthy vegetable mixture. This option was going to be mostly head lettuce, (used as a filler) I mean really? I excited the business. There is a Subway shop right across the street, which offers MANY healthier choices, and if so inclined to eat a sub, this would be my choice. It's unfortunate, because I prefer if possible to support the local business's. This business seems to have fallen into the "we've been here forever and this is the way we have always done it" category. The sandwich was made one way and one way only.I suggest the get more current and evolve. read more

All I can say is YUCK! Ordered the pastrami. It was made of the cheap loaf pastrami, and cheese that tastes like Velveeta. Burned bun. No mayo or mustard. Hands down, the worst excuse for a sandwich I've ever had. Ate a couple of disgusting bites and tossed the rest. For what we paid, we could have had some yummy footlongs from Subway across the street, made with good meats and all the vegetables we wanted.. Next time, that's what we'll do. Sad. They call themselves a sandwich shop. You would think if all they do are sandwiches, they could do a decent job. Nope. Too bad there is no zero stars option! read more

Huge sandwiches, more of a overloaded deli style. Don't seem to be open the hours I'm infrequently in that area of town. Not always the cleanest, but best at the type they do in the area. read more

Terrible! I've eaten here twice and don't know how it's still in business! The sandwiches are horribly tough, burnt to heck, and dripping with tomato juice combined with mayo? and really greasy, and they just throw a bunch of toppings on their that don't really work well together. not really edible in my opinion. read more

The sandwiches are good but very very greasy! In my own opinion it is to high prices for sandwiches. The building is very dated and offers hardly any seating. Very small parking lot. read more

Wanted to like it because the staff seemed nice. But, the meatball sub upset my stomach badly and instantly. Quality ingredients were not used. The person I was with seemed to somewhat enjoy their sandwich but, could not stop commenting on the over-use of raw onion. Hope my bad experience isn't a reflection on how this place is normally. But, it was enough to make sure I never go back. read more
