    Nothing special here. I've made much better tasting food at home. Poor service and very slow getting the food out. Not going back.

    This was a place I really, really, really wanted to try while staying on the North side of town…read moreabove Frazier. I did Edward's Point and Signal Mountain on a super hot morning hike and decided I had earned a huge sandwich and some pimento cheese so, I snuck in about 25 minutes before closing to get a sandwich to go. Staff were SO nice and welcoming. Telling me there was no rush, I could sit and eat, etc. I spoke to the charming Chris, who went over the entire menu with me and offered for me to sample a few of their pasta salads and pimento and made suggestions. He was the biggest sweetheart. In the end, they didn't have the daily special chopped Italian I'd seen so, I went with a turkey and cheese with pimento to go and some sweet tea. At checkout, another friendly and lovable female staffer was totally charming. My sandwich was HUGE and the pimento cheese was some of the best I've ever had! And, your girl is from the South so, I've had a metric ton of pimento in my life. I really like the location and the vibes inside. Local's gem. And the staff, A+++++

The basil tomato soup was OK- it would've been nice if it was served with a bread roll. Go with her again by choice, probably not, but it was the only one open when our sandwich place was closed earlier this week. Worker who took our order was not particularly welcoming, either annoyed and after writing up our slip to take to the cashier kind of tossed at us, but it's OK for it, but she would recommend getting your sandwich to go and take it to the park instead

    I have purchased a sandwich from Jersey Mike's on two occasions; whereas, my husband has been there…read moremultiple times. If you aren't sure how the establishment works, you can select your bread, sandwich type and then select what you want on your sandwich (onion, lettuce, pickles, tomato). They have an option where you try it "Mike's way" which means all of the "fixins" and then oils on top. I personally don't like oil and vinegar on my sandwiches but from those who have tried it- I hear it is good. The nice thing about Jersey Mike's is they slice the cheeses and meats in front of you. They have three sizes (Mini, regular and giant). The mini seems like a great size for kids. Regular would be equivalent to around a 6 inch and giant is what it sounds...giant. We have never dined in, but they do have a fair amount of seating options. We stopped in there on a Sunday around 1pm and it was packed. One thing that was chaotic were the number of online orders. They seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the online orders and the costumers in line. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich that involved using the grill which took up a lot of time. So, if you order deli meats that don't involve using a grill, it should be pretty quick service. If not, you will have to wait a while. The staff are all nice and willing to answer any questions you might after. There was a guy next to me that spilled his soda all over the floor and they were quick to clean it up. I found the location to be very clean. Overall, good sandwich place!

    I have mixed feelings about my recent visit to this location. On the positive side, the shop was…read moreincredibly clean and the staff members were very polite. However, the service and food fell short. They were juggling in-store customers and takeout orders, and my sandwich accidentally got packed into someone else's takeout bag. I was dining in and watched multiple people who ordered after me get their food before I finally went up to the counter to ask about my order. As for the food, I ordered the Italian sub on the Parmesan roll, and it just didn't taste right. I'm not sure if it was a bad batch of the Parmesan bread or something else, but it had a really funny taste to it. I've been to the Jersey Mike's in Chattanooga and the hoagies there tasted much better. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff, but the food quality and order accuracy definitely need some attention.

    Naming your sandwich shop Tasty Heaven Sandwich Shop "Heaven" is a bold strategy. That's not…read morebranding... that's a performance guarantee. I needed something quick, light, and close to our company office in Chattanooga. The ratings were strong, the reviews looked promising, and frankly when you call yourself Heaven, expectations go up fast. I'm not asking for miracles... but a great sandwich would be a nice start. First clue something was... developing... was the sign. Still a banner out front. Which usually means one of two things: 1. Brand new and figuring things out. 2. Someone lost a bet with a printing company. Inside felt like a sandwich shop that's been around for decades. Worn floors, chalkboards tossed up on the wall like they lost a game of darts, and the menu scribbled across them in chalk. Not charming-chaotic. More like... chaotic-chaotic. No problem. I'm here for the sandwich. I ordered the #1, because when a place names a sandwich after itself, that's usually the mic drop item. The "Heaven Classic." If you're going to plant your flag, plant it on the best hill. It came out fast. Very fast. Suspiciously fast. I brought it back to the office, opened it up, took a bite... and immediately felt like I'd been transported to the deli aisle of a gas station. "If this sandwich were any more average, it would come with an Oscar Mayer jingle." The bread was actually pretty good. Nice texture, solid foundation. But the filling? It felt like someone stopped at a convenience store, grabbed a pack of cold cuts, and said, "Yep... this'll do." Now here's where the plot twist comes in. Afterward I started digging through the reviews because the disconnect was wild. People were raving about this place. Five stars everywhere. I'm thinking, "Did I walk into the wrong universe?" Turns out... most of those reviews are for Steamboat. Looks like the place changed names sometime late last year. Same location, new name, very different experience. So the glowing reputation may belong to a former tenant. Which leads to my final thought... If this is Heaven, I'd hate to see the alternative. I'm landing at three stars, mostly because I'm feeling generous today and the bread deserved better than the situation it was put in. Would I go back? Probably not. Chattanooga has way too many great sandwich spots to gamble on purgatory again.

    Good basic sandwich. Bread always fresh, and I think made on site. Usually brisk business but quick…read moreservice nonetheless.
