Stopped here with the family after watching a college soccer game. We arrived with a big appetite. Oh my gosh, the serving sizes are enormous. And the food is fresh, hot and tasty. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was served about ten minutes after ordering and special prep requests handled just as we wanted. The ice machine was not able to make enough ice to keep up with the demand. The water does not taste good...not sure if that's what everyone in Olympia contends with or just this restaurant. We will Gladly visit again in the future. Great value and welcoming place. read more

Wow! I remember the lot prior to the restaurant building on Lacey Blvd.! I tried the subs about 10 years ago & meh... I'm not a huge cold sandwich person. I have always preferred hot without lettuce! If I want slimy lettuce well ya know! I had a full philly steak sans green bell peppers. Omg! It was really hot out but this sandwich was fabulous. Tender beef, sweet onion, olives, shrooms, & cheese. I would recommend this to anyone! Enough for 3 meals (yeah toaster oven) a great deal. Snicker doodle cookies are simple & cheap to make... amazingly many places mess them up. Not here! Get a couple they are just like the ones I have made as a kid! I'll miss this place when I move to Costa Rica! read more

Mr. Meconi is from Pennsylvania like I am, and you can tell. His subs are just like the ones we get back home. The Philly cheesesteak is almost too good to eat, almost. The chili and soups are amazing as well. I live a couple blocks from Meconi's, and partake on a regular basis. Any of your transplanted Pennsylvanians reading this, go to Meconis. It's worth it and then some. read more

Amazing subs at a great value. Down to earth owner. I would recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - All for 12 bucks! Beats subway. - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Very clean looking place and it's smells delicious when you walk through the door. I tried to place a phone order to speed up the process and was placed on eternal hold. I walked in and expected a line nope! Unfortunately just bad customer service. I ordered a Hot Pastrami for my honey and a hot meatball for me. The pastrami was good the meat was lean with a peppery flavor. The meatball was just a meat ball! The meat was lacking flavor the meatballs needed a little more seasoning. The best part of the sandwich was the bread. The bread tasted fresh, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Definitely not worth the price. We combo'd it with a cookie. The peanut butter cookies I must say are amazing. I'm only in town for a few more days so no second chance on this trip. I would however return for another PB cookie :). FYI Good customer service goes a long way. read more

I've been craving their sandwiches for some time. Finally, in May I was able to head down to Lacey and purchase a sandwich. I went with the combo which has chicken, ham, and turkey! With the usual fixin's (light on the mayo) plus some peppercinis for extra. The venue has improved since the last time I was there (years ago). The parking seemed more ample, but I did go at an 'off' time. They have a handful of patio tables out front and a cute red fence. Inside is very diner-y, with a long formica(??) counter with chairs for single diners, and a few booths. If you sit at the counter you can see them making sandwiches. I love watching food get made. They also sell chili here which is good and kind of sweet. I drove home and eagerly sat down to eat..and it was just...ok. Maybe a bit salty due to the meat (which was a generous portion), but it was just ok. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I suppose I'm relieved because I won't be craving the sandwich as urgently, but I kind of feel strange because I didn't loooooooooove it. The bread was nice, soft, and fresh and didn't fall apart on me while I ate. As part of the usual fixin's, they put a sprinkle of dried oregano, which is nothing special (it was out of a Costco-sized container)..but it does add some extra flavor, and I don't think many sub places do that. It did get me over my craving, so that's a plus! We'll probably come here again, I hope for a sandwich that blows my mind. read more

Sandwiches are always amazing! I'm pretty sure they make their own bread which makes it 10x more amazing! Customer service is always good nothing extraordinary but their food is to die for!! read more

According to OSHA, NIOSH, WISHA and the CDC, one shouldn't have reason to wear latex gloves unless specifically handling biohazard materials (this would include blood, body fluids, infectious biological tissues). Apparently Meconi's must do this in their kitchen because they wear LATEX gloves and are inflexible in doing so. They prep all food items with latex. They prepare all food items with latex. They will not work with you. The answer if you ask for them to engage in customer service, to paraphrase, is 'too bad, so sad'. But I'm sure Meconi's knows best. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/98-113/ ---//---Edited to add: For Austin Y: Go ahead and read in the first sentence again to see which occupational and health organizations recommend against the use of latex gloves for all applications *except* the handling of biohazardous materials. So unless one is handling materials likely to contain bloodborne pathogens (esp human blood, body fluids, and tissues) in the kitchen, non-latex gloves should be the choice. This includes for the protection of those employed at the establishment (my allergy developed after years of daily latex exposure). There are many other options for gloves - chloroprene, isoprene, vinyl, nitrile, and plastic (PET), none of which contain latex. Just ask your healthcare provider - most of whom utilize non-latex in most applications at this point in time. Entire states have codified the requirement for non-latex gloves to be used in all food preparation applications. Furthermore, the BAD ATTITUDE of the manager is what garnered this well-earned review. No, I cannot "just go to subway" (sic) since I do not have breaks at work (including for lunch), and I am generally pretty thankful when someone is kind enough to order lunch for the department. So "Austin Y," the review was earned and stands. read more

I honor their decision that to be open on Sunday but it seems to be on Sunday when I most crave one of their sandwiches. That matter aside, the bread that they make the sandwiches on is so so so so much better then Jimmie John's, In makoni is a local company and I support them. Their sandwiches are always perfect with fresh ingredients and very large. Their soups, that they may come up are always delicious. read more

Point blank..... The sandwiches here are amazing. Grant it, all I get is a Philly Cheesesteak, they make it great every single time. Not an expensive place, you can spend as much as you would at a chain sandwich shop but receive WAY WAY WAY better tasting fresh food and service. read more

Meconi's Italian Subs - Philly Cheesesteak with mayo - Italian Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Their subs are always tasty and fresh. I would definitely recommend this place for an amazing sandwich.

Man, do I miss living near Meconi's. What I wouldn't give for a meatball sub and the soup of the day. Rich and savory marinara sauce, fresh baked roll, handmade meatballs and a thick slab of cheese. No, the ambiance isn't fancy but the food is phenomenal. At this location parking can get a bit impossible during the lunch rush. read more

Amazing food, fast and friendly staff. My fiancé and I have been going here since we got together. It was our first date. The ingredients are always fresh, every bite is tasty. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the last time we had their food I got food poisoning. Was a turkey sub. No tomatoes. read more

I've been goign to this Meconi's since I was a kid and the sandwiches are great. Fresh bread, good sandwich-innards, and good prices make it a tasty meal. I will say however, that over the last couple of years the cost has been going up slightly and the sandwiches have gotten a bit skimpier. Also the help has become more surly. But, the place still has a long way to go to fall from grace in my book. Great subs. read more

I've always been a Meconi's fan. It's like Subway, but the ingredients are 10x more fresh! The lacey location is ok... if you want a really good Meconi's sandwich with great service and lots of seating, go to the one past Hawks Prairie (through the round about) its definitely worth it. read more

On arrival I'm impressed not only in the size of this place (with lots of off-street parking too), but with how popular it is! Order up front, find a seat, and your order# is called out and delivered. I ordered the Italian Sub, plus had it prepared "Cosmo Style" -which means toasted. The bread really makes a sandwich, especially a Submarine Sandwich. Definitely one of the best tasting buns around. The meats were delicious too, plus toppings and sauces all added up to a great meal. If you're in the (Olympia/Lacey) area and thinking about a sandwich, stopping at one of their four locations is a must. On the way out you'll grab a menu and look forward to eating here again! read more

Co-workers got some takeout orders for the office. I ordered the "Chicken Philly", bowl of chili, and side of potato salad. The chili was good and the potato salad was a little bland but good too. It means they don't drench the salad in straight up mayo. The sandwich felt like it was missing something but hey, chicken philly usually taste a little bland. It's always good to get the steak philly because that the OG. Next time I will try the philly again in steak and it might bump up another star. Great value too. You get a good amount for the price they charge. Definitely beats out the common sandwich places like Subway, Jersey Mikes, and Jimmy Johns. read more

Love this place for a good sandwich but today is the third time I've specifically came here with my dad who needs a gluten free sandwich only to find out they are out already....and this is before noon! Looks like we have to find a more dependable dining option for our family members with food allergies! read more

Done Done Done Last time in (July 18) the mac salad my wife ordered for herself was very old. If they will do that then what else are they willing to do? No. read more

I need to get over the fact that you aren't going to find an East Coast style sub on the West Coast. Once you swallow that bitter pill, Meconi's works. I ordered the Italian sub, apparently, you have to order it toasted otherwise it comes out cold. I failed to do so and had a cold sub, I think it would've been 1 million times better had they toasted it. The ratio of toppings was perfect, and veggies tasted very fresh, loved the very thinly sliced onion. The meat was fresh but not particularly flavorful. However, the seasoning and oil they use was very tasty and tasted high-quality. The bread was squishy and not very good, but again, I'm holding them to East Coast standard. Had the bread been toasted, I bet it would've tasted a lot better. The service was fast, the woman at the counter wasn't particularly helpful but I can read a menu. read more

No quality control. Bottom of the barrel ingredients slopped carelessly on generic bread. If I had a dollar for every health violation I've been told this place should have due to poor management. Merely being in the vicinity of the building smelled like a homeless man's sweaty armpit. You're better off eating the cardboard sandwiches at Subway. Spaghetti O's are more Italian than this place. read more

Definitely definitely a fan. Sitting here eating a sub from the famous meconi's for the first time and I'm in love. Just a plain old turkey and ham with everything but tomatoes and its perfect. The bread is amazing. Delizioso. read more

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

Very tasty, we asked for the condiments to be separated as we knew we wouldn't be eating it until way later. Everything was nicely split up and we put it together and it was awesome. My only wish was that there were locations in Seattle. I only get these when I'm down south read more

Ive been eating Meconis for years. After being turned onto the subs and the mac salad I was hooked. Lately when I'm craving I'll go for a whole tuna on whole (wheat) , side of hoagie peppers. You could get away with only eating half. Ill probably destroy the other. Its pretty damn good. A whole tuna on whole wheat + hoagie peppers and xtra veg = 13.01. Forgot the hoagie peppers but i could care less at this point. good eats. read more

I love meconis! I moved to Tacoma and unfortunately there aren't any meconis in the area. There IS a meconis pub and eatery in downtown Tacoma that serves Italian subs just like they do here, but it's disgusting and not even close to the quality of this place in Lacey! read more

Tried this place for the first time after moving to Yelm and it is AMAZING. I used to think firehouse subs was the best around but it is no comparison to these. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it was honestly one of the best I have ever had. My wife had the capicola and she said it was also very good. The potato salad and pasta salad were tasty and had that home made taste to them. Definitely going to be a regular here! read more

I think Meconi's have the best subs in Western Washington. The bread is so good. Nice and soft but not too soft - holds up well with the meats and cheeses. the Italian is my favorite. I'm just sad that I don't live in Olympia so I can only get them when I am traveling through. read more

Finding a good sandwich spot is something I'm always on the hunt for and this is the best I've found. Unfortunately I moved away from the area but anytime I'm up in the area I'll be sure to go out of my way to stop in. If you're thinking about going I'd definitely recommend it. read more

I love how they have gluten free sandwiches, which is the main attraction for me. Overall the sandwiches have been kind of bland so I always ask for extra condiments. read more

I'm very, very rarely in the mood for a sandwich. Of course, when I find myself in that mood, the only place I ever consider going is Meconi's. It's been a while since I've been there (again, I'm not big on sandwiches), but what I can say off the top of my head is that the sandwiches are delicious, and there's nothing wrong with the service or decor (it's a sandwich shop, who really cares anyway?). Yes, this review was short, but there really isn't much else to say about the place. It's good. read more

Canadian bacon sandwich, heated: perfect bread, perfect fresh meat, perfect cheese, perfectly seasoned and toasted. I could eat this once a week if my waistline and wallet allowed. Veggie sandwich: so good! Tuna melt: sshhhh...better than Gramma's. (italian sausage: really very ho hum. My only disappointment with Mec's so far.) read more

These are the best subs in all of lacey. Love their Philly Cheese Steak as well as tuna salad subs. I used to love the cider they sold here but alas they sell it no more. Either way, still great sandwiches that are different from the chain subs. read more

Can't seem to get orders right. Called in a large order, missing items and incorrect orders. Called them to inform them of missing items and incorrect orders. The lady on the phone wanted me to bring back everything, so we could prove what was wrong. It was a large order of over $250, I understand that mistakes happen. Lettuce and onion can be taken off but extra things that you paid for can't be added later. read more

I placed a phone order and was told 5-10 minutes. I went in to pick up the order, but first paid for it and gave them a tip. I sat for quite awhile considering I had called my order in. Finally I noticed a man get his order who had ordered while I'd been sitting there. I went to the counter to ask about my order. She checked the shelf where to go orders were sitting and got my bag. By bag had been there and no one called. I'm not going to go on about my own personal issues that lead me to phone order in the first place, but I will comment that every single person working there had a scowl in their face. Not a single smile. No one apologized for overlooking my order. I expect bad service in general, but I'd heard good things about this local family business. Nope, won't go back. read more

Meconi's subs are incredible! I personally always order the Pepperoni sub and it always tastes incredibly fresh and amazing! The staff here are friendly and the wait for food isn't very long, usually around 3-5 minutes after you order. read more

Great sandwich shop. Good soup and chili. Really good bread. Have not had a bad experience yet. They have Coke products so in a Pepsi world I appreciate that :) read more

Outstanding family restaurant. Clean, great food and even better service. I do a lot of deliveries and have meetings all over town. I have been to all of the locations and the consistency is right on. My family has been Meconis customers since they had the one location on Lacey Blvd and you had to wait in line out the door. Love to support small family owned businesses in our area, and this one is one of the easiest to support. read more

I've been going to Meconi's ever since it opened in the mid 80s. I get the same sandwich all of the time (I REALLY like it). I started going there because I had gone to school with Maria Meconi. their samndwiched have maintned the same high quality over the years! read more

I'm not a sandwich sub person. I started working for the state and was herded into the feeding troughs of the day. Well thank god! Meconi's is the greatest. The flavor is just perfection. I can't even look at a Subway anymore. Go here, the first bite will win you over for life. It's like a cult with mayo. read more

I called in my order ahead of time and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. I drive there from work and get there within the 10 minutes. I pay for my sandwich and was told it would be just a minute. I sat waiting for 15 minutes and my number still hadn't been called. I go up to the register and ask how much longer. She looked and it is just sitting on the rack behind her. I had ordered it Cosmo, which is hot, and it is now. To say I am upset, is ridiculous. Won't go back there. Terrible service. read more
