When in for the first time during a lunch break. Ordered up the Philly cheesesteak, and a beer. Found out that they don't serve beer . It does say beer and wine on the window but the cashier said she been here for a few years and there is no beer , I also thought I was getting a combo but I don't think she heard me. . The sandwich was good. It needed something tho to give it the zing like other Phillies I enjoy, ...something that makes me talk about it for weeks to come like a couple other places I have eaten in. The sandwich had mozzarella cheese , peppers, onions and the regular stuff that makes it a sandwich. Service was good the brought it out to the table,they had the regular drinks and chips. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place friendly and abit busy for a lunch time rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I may return. Hmmm I will have the Philly I do declare. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Philly sandwich - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I had the meatball sub. It was amazing. This place has a stellar reputation with all the students at Saint Martin's for a good reason.

We've been going to Meconis since the 1980s and really enjoy the sandwiches. Lately though, our orders are never quite right. Today my sandwich looked like they'd made a chopped salad and threw it on my bread. The meat was cut in small pieces and kept falling out. It's making me frustrated and sad to see how the quality is sliding. It's frustrating. Last time they didn't cut them as asked, before that they put mayo on when specifically asked not to for health reasons. I'm just bummed. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - BLT - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I was first introduced to Meconi's by a childhood friend who has a beach house in the neighborhood. I've returned a couple times solo and a few more times with my partner who, like me, will choose to dine at Meconi's whenever we're in Lacey. She-who-must-be-obeyed always orders the Philly cheesesteak but now only orders a half as the full-size sandwich is just too generous. I've sampled a few of their tasty sandwiches but have recently returned to their Italian sub, full-size if you please. Meconi's bread is baked on premise and is as tasty as is the filling of all sandwiches I've ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is new and sleek but, most important, it's clean as whistle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you find yourself in the neighborhood and desiring a great sandwich or wanting to explore a new lunch spot, get yourself to Meconi's. read more

I was hungry and tired, the kind of tired that settles behind your eyes and doesn't leave. Meconi's sat just off the road, plain-faced, no frills. The place didn't try to impress you. It didn't need to. It knew what it was and stayed there. Solid. Quiet. Like a craftsman who works with their hands and doesn't talk much. The bread was soft in the middle, with a crust that gave just enough. They sliced the meat thick and cold, the way it should be, stacked high with nothing fancy to cover it. Lettuce crisp. Tomatoes red. Oil, provolone, onion, oregano -- no need to ask, they knew what they were doing. The line was long. It usually was. But it moved steady. The girl at the counter was curt, but she smiled when you paid and called you "boss" like she meant it. She didn't waste time. Neither did the sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kind of place you didn't linger, but remembered anyway. Outside, cars passed like they had somewhere better to be. But for a moment, with that sandwich in your hands, you didn't need to be anywhere else. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Meconi's didn't try to be more than it was. That's what made it great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], read more

I got a half a sandwich, create your own with turkey, pastrami, salami, and all of the toppings. The half was huge and only $7.50. What an amazing deal! The bread was fresh and so soft. The meat was delicious and of high quality. I added a few mustard packets to the sandwich as it was a bit bland, but after adding it, the sandwich was delicious and added some zing and acidity to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was quick and the restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back when I am in the area again! read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Half a sandwich (so big!)- turkey, salami, pastrami with all of the fixings! - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Best sandwiches ever! Customer service is pretty good too but the food is thee best! I usually go to the Lacey location-its the best!

Always good food. Staff is always friendly and courteous. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant feels homey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this place.

Absolutely recommend Meconi's for that sandwich craving you might be having. High quality ingredients and delicious bread puts these guys miles ahead of the other fast sub type places. They offer both hot & cold subs, with full or half sizes. Nearly any type of meat or veg you're in the mood for, Meconi's will have it. I've never had any of their cold subs before (figuring I can make a cold sub at home fairly easily and wanting to take advantage of them making a harder to make at home hot sub), but I've had many a friend get cold ones and they look good, and they like them. My two favorite hot subs are the Meatball sub and the Philly Cheesesteak. Both are delicious! Tasty meat, sweet & tangy sauce, melted cheese ... Yummo! Top it with a bag of chips and drink and you're set. Order online, phone & to-go, in person ... whatever. It'll be good and you'll be happy. read more

UGH. This is the sandwich of my childhood. It's been so long since I've been to my hometown of Oly, but having had to run an errand around the area, I decided to revisit a spot I grew up eating while in town. And I can not believe how freaking good it is even still after all these years. Meconi's Italian Subs is mostly located around the Olympia area. The closest location to Seattle is in Tacoma, which operates more as a bar, but you can still get their Italian sandwiches there. However, this Lacey location is the one I used to eat at, so has a special place in my heart. There's a lot to choose from, like cold deli meats or hot sandwiches, salads, sides, etc. They make and hand form their own meatballs here, so the meatball sub is my absolute favorite here. And I don't even like meatball subs! Can you believe that? But the beefy meatballs, smothered in mozzarella and marinara will have you salivating just opening up the tin foil it's carefully placed in. Just writing this makes me wish I had a Meconi's meatball sub right now! The regular size is large enough, but if you get a large size, you will have two subs, hence, another meal! You'll want to get a large anyway because the subs here are that good. For sides they have pasta salad, potato chips, etc., and there's plenty of room to dine in. My only complaint about Meconi's is that there is not one near the Seattle area at all. But perhaps that's what's special about it and why it means so much to me. It's an Oly thing! read more

All of the other Mcconies have been great but this one off of Lacey Blvd has gone to crap over the years. It used to be perfect. Now the staff is rude, lettuce was rotten, brown and slimy and they can't ever seem to get sandwiches correct more times than not. Things as simple as just not adding a certain topping to a sandwich. If you ask them to remake the sandwich when they put something you are allergic to on it, they will say yes but then right in front of you through the front counters window, pick off the ingredient that wasn't supposed to be on the sandwich with their hands and then re wrap the sandwich in a new wrap and tell you that they remade you a new sandwich. If you tell the myou literally just saw them pick off the ingredients and not actually make a new sandwich, they will just take it back and continue to pick off any of the remaining old ingredient out of the sandwich, re-wrap it a second time and give it back to you while telling you that they made you a new one. This is quite literally a health a safety risk for customers and they need to have a health inspection done. Not sure if new family members took over this place over the last few years or so but they are no longer the same amazing sandwich place to tell people about when they visit the area. I have continually tried my luck at this place whenever someone else offers to buy me lunch but every time the order is either messed up or the lettuce is rotten. The only reason I did no give this more than 2 stars is due to their previous reputation 5 or more years ago being absolutely perfect. Ever since then it has been consistently downhill with no respect for their customers or attempts at fixing their issues. read more

Ordered online, they used third party delivery service. Incorrect food was delivered. Contacted Meconis, they refused refund. Said to contact third party delivery service. Have to go another route to get my refund now. Do not go here. I'd give a minus 5 stars if i could. read more

Been coming here ever since it used to be in the old building with the lunch counter and a few booths. The bread. SO amazing. Don't get me wrong, the sandwich ingredients are solid too. Meat is always flavorful, the lettuce and tomatoes always fresh, and the cheese is never dried out. But...the bread, man. All the great flavor of a hoagie roll, but without the crusty and dry exterior. It's like they somehow made an entire loaf out of the soft and pillowy parts of a normal loaf of bread. If you are in the area, just drive by all the franchise sandwich chains and come straight to any of the Meconis locations. Only way this place could get any better is if they started offering a bacon egg cheese served on these sandwich rolls. read more

Tuna sub was not very good, and very pricey. The sub was partially cut in half and the tuna was sparsely put in, leaving it very "breaddy" with not much filling. (I wouldn't order it again). The sub at subway was much better, and it isn't something I eat very often. read more

LOVE everything about Meconi's. I don't get here nearly as often as I would like to because I live so far away. The Service , food , price are all excellent. The phone orders are always right and ready when we get there . We've tried everything on the menu and no complaints at all. In fact it's hard to choose because it's all so good. My go to is Turkey, but the hot subs and the tuna are outstanding as well. I don't say this about many places , but I'm pretty sure I could eat this every day for weeks and never get tired of it . Keep up the great work !!! read more

Great sandwiches. High quality ingredients and fresh bread. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice building.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good parking. My main gripe is the staff at this location in particular. They aren't nice. I don't know if they're too cool for school or if they're just exasperated by the thought of having to simply take your order, but I find myself going other places even though I prefer their sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables are also often not wiped clean and have food remnants from other customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], which is kind of surprising considering they have no problem asking for tips every time you pay for your order. Jersey Mikes and Firehouse may be more expensive, but at least they seem happy to have you as a customer. read more

So I came here on the way back from Seabrook and I ordered a whole turkey sandwich and a snickerdoodle to go. Service was friendly and the interior was clean. Well so I finally got a chance to eat my sandwich at my inlaws and they gave me a tuna salad sandwich instead of my turkey sandwich. :( I had been wanting to get this sandwich since I was in Aberdeen on my way to Olympia so I was very bummed out. Naturally I drove back and asked for my turkey and that was that, but that did put a downer on my long awaited sandwich reunion. read more

This store essentially just stole from me. Ordered two sandwiches, one of the combos had one slice of bacon on it and no other meat, so I called to ask for a refund, just on the one sandwich not the tip or anything else. Was told they couldn't do that, wasn't offered a replacement, was blown off, told that footage showed they put meat on the sandwich (implying I was lying, I guess for that big $14 payday), and couldn't be told when I could speak to a manager("maybe next week"). Insane way to treat someone regularly giving you their business. Won't ever go back. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Philly Cheesesteak no mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I have had Meconi's often both as a singular customer and ordering box lunches for work training events. I have been impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to get it right every time. When I order online it is always ready when they say it will be and they have a great selection of sodas and chips. One of these days I will be having soup because the types they advertise seem so delicious! Their roll (house made) is delicious and my favorite part. The "full" sandwich is the equivalent to two normal sandwiches and excellent if you are looking for two lunches or need something for lunch and dinner. I do wish they put a little more meat on the sandwiches as right now they put a lot of lettuce which is delicious but sometimes not the best bite. read more

If you like hot subs, than you have to try the ones here. They offer both hot and cold subs, but I prefer their Italian sub. The customer service was great and I have never experienced anymore than a 5 minute wait time when picking up! read more

We stopped in for an Italian sub. This is their classic, but it is so good, hearty and satisfying. We ordered ours with extra pepperoni's for a little more zing. Excellent quality and fast service! We were in and out with our to go sandwich in 10 minutes. read more

Wanted to like this place. Local and want to support. But damn what a weak sandwich. Most generic Philly I've had. Skimped on the meats and veggies. Dry and bland. No option for au jus. I would order subway or JJ before here again. Sometimes the chains do it better than the overpriced locals. read more

Their food has gone down hill. No more homemade honey mustard for the salads and the salads are tiny for how much they cost. Ordered the chef salad and it's missing the turkey. Very disappointed. This used to be my favorite treat but I'll have to find another place now. read more

Very friendly service as a first time customer. Half sandwich each was more than enough for both my wife and I. Veggie sandwich had wonderful fresh vegetables with plenty on the sandwich. That made it more of a sandwich and not just bread with a few vegetables. Salami sandwich was quite tasty with the perfect amount of meat. The rolls were very soft with enough chew to enjoy. Took the sandwiches to go but the inside was clean and well maintained. If in the area would give a second visit. read more

So Disappointed, this used to be a great place to get a sandwich, my sandwich today I ordered with extra meat, I don't believe it even had the regular amount of meat on it, also my soda tasted like it had very little syrup. There has been a steady decline but this is rock bottom for me read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Read some reviews on yelp and thought I would give this place a try. It was actually pretty far off of the five freeway, but the reviews were great and I thought I really needed a sub! There was no line and the service was very quick. I ordered a pastrami with Swiss. Cosmo style, heated up.The bread was tasty. The pastrami and cheese both were pretty good. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. I asked for pepper Cheaneys on the side. I had a bowl of their soup dessert. Minestrone. The broth was pretty light and didn't have a lot of flavor. It needed zing. Inside was very clean and pretty busy. This shop is above subway quality. Worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

I think these are the best sub sandwiches around. I always order the Italian, get a whole one and eat half, saving the other half for the next day. I prefer to support local businesses rather than chain stores. Their sandwiches are always fresh and the bread is good. They also have gluten free bread. If you haven't tried their subs I suggest you do! read more

I've never had a fresh Meconi's sub and even then I think they are pretty good despite the bread being a little harder...jam packed with tons of filling and so much mayo. Got to try a fresh sub today and it did not disappoint. I opted for the turkey and it was everything I had wanted (maybe missing a lil extra mayo tho). My partner got the Italian and enjoyed it, got my mom a half Italian and a half roast beef. She liked them both but liked the Italian more. I think what I like most about them is the bread, it's different than the other sub shops, the taste of the bread does make the difference. Also, all the sandwiches are sort of the same except for the protein and some sauce (they clearly found the winning combination). Grabbed a snickerdoodle cookie too since...it's fresh baked supposedly and cause I always need to end everything with a sweet note. Cookie was just ok, crispy exterior, soft middle, tons of cinnamon sugar but I don't think I'd get another. Even though we came in 20 minutes before they closed, they were still super friendly and you could tell didn't rush the whole sandwich making. read more

Delicious and always great friendly service! Their sandwiches are one of Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater's favorites.

It's pricey but it's delicious! Never had a bad sandwich, I love the egg salad, it's my go to. The bread is homemade and smells and tastes so good. Also try the chocolate chip cookie. read more

Long wait times at lunch shows how popular they are. Good Sub, but I can get more food for the same $ at 5th on Fourth.
