    This is my half of my combo.
    Kathy M.

    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.

    Half a sandwich (so big!)- turkey, salami, pastrami with all of the fixings!
    Tricia T.

    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. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely be back when I am in the area again!

    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!

    Solid subs that are better priced than Subway and Jimmy John's. Great quality and friendly staff.

    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 !!!

    Looks like they've cut the amount of meat on the combo by about a third. I'll give them one more shot and then move on.

Then I saw their TikTok last night, and let me tell you, that video had me craving it instantly. The scrumptiousness was living rent free in my brain all night, so today my son and I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. We ordered the Sour Diesel, the Fire, and the Afgoo, all on their toasted jalapeño cheese bread. First of all, the female employee who helped us was so friendly and welcoming. We do not eat out much, so we were genuinely excited and maybe a little impatient to try them. When they handed us the sandwiches, I immediately noticed how heavy they were. And the smell in the car on the way home, oh my goodness. Pure torture waiting to unwrap them. Then we got home and opened them up, and I was honestly shocked in the best way. There was actually a MEAL on that bread. Not one of those sad sandwiches that's 80 percent lettuce and air. These were loaded. My teenage son even commented on how good his was, and trust me, teen approval is not handed out lightly. The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and each sandwich was totally unique and delicious. I can confidently say I have found a new favorite sub spot. Total hidden gem if you love a good sandwich that actually fills you up and tastes incredible. I did not grab a shake this time because it was freezing outside, but after seeing all the flavor options on the menu, I will absolutely be trying one next visit. Highly recommend in every aspect. I love when you try somewhere new and it completely exceeds expectations. This one is a must try.

At the speaker, the barista repeated my order back correctly. When I got to the window, she told me the total, I paid, and then before handing me my drinks she informed me that they hadn't charged me for the second drink. I was confused because the total had already been around $10, so I asked how that could be if one drink hadn't been rung up. She explained that the price included all of the add-ons, but when I looked at the receipt on my phone, it wasn't clear at all. In fact, the receipt made it appear as though both drinks had already been charged. I was then charged a second time for the missing drink. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. However, many businesses will either honor the original total or apologize for the inconvenience when the mistake is on their end. Neither happened here. To make matters worse, after paying again, I was handed drinks that were incorrect, they were the wrong size and not what I had ordered. When I questioned it, the barista simply went back to what she was doing without apologizing or offering to fix the situation. After I left, I looked at the second receipt, and it also didn't make much sense. It's really unfortunate because my family spends a lot of money here. Between my kids getting Italian sodas and our coffee runs, we're regular customers. I usually enjoy the ambiance and the staff, however, was very disappointed with my experience. A simple apology and an effort to make things right would have gone a long way. Instead, we left feeling overcharged, with the wrong drinks, and like our concerns didn't matter. Because of this experience, we won't be returning.

I didn't live close to a Firehouse Subs at my last address so I had never bothered signing up for an account (& all my friends + coworkers often ordered for me at work lol). Now that I'm down the street from a Firehouse Subs, I signed up for an account and ordered online for pickup at this location, which came with a discount for first-time customers ($10 off, if I recall correctly). Understandably, my order was not ready by the time that I arrived, since I placed the order 5 mins before arrival. I didn't mind the wait since the restaurant was fairly clean and I was able to use their public restroom. The employee working on my order was nice enough to inform me that they were working on it, so I wouldn't be left guessing where I am in the queue, since a couple customers entered after me, probably waiting for their takeout orders as well. It took some time until my order was ready (probably just another 10 or so minutes) but waiting isn't a problem for me, as long as my order is made correctly. I didn't eat my sub immediately after I arrived home but by the time I opened it up a few hours later, I was very pleased to find that the bread was not soggy, my order was accurate since all my customization preferences were followed, and everything tasted delicious! I will definitely be returning when I am craving a sub :)

Placed an order online and asked for double the meat minus one meat and no cheese. Once we got home I took a bite and wondered why I tasted nothing but bread, opened up and seen there were just one slice of meat on each side. Sent feedback the same day 8/11 and just now 9/7 received this response: "I see that you ordered our NY steamer but asked "NO Corned Beef" so you only get "pastrami". If you ask for double meat, you'll only get the same portion of the pastrami. Pastrami won't replace the corned beef. SO, in this case, it is NOT worth ordering double meat if you are omitting one part of it. My suggestion is to order our "pastrami sub" and take the lettuce, tomato, onion (and cheese) off to make it like the NY Steamer. Then, you will get the full meat ounces!!" A simple sorry we didn't hit the mark would have been better than just telling me what I should have ordered. We were asked for double the meat but yet didn't receive it so either way it all was a waste of money and time reaching out before leaving a review.

When I initially walked in, it wasn't too busy, but it filled up quickly while I was still figuring out how to order. They use a kiosk system where you choose dine-in or takeout, and it's nicr that each menu item had photos and ingredient descriptions so it made it way easier to decide, especially for our first visit. The space itself is small and quaint with a couple tables, but full of lovely art. There's lots of cute anime and Japanese-themed decor, including figurines, plushies, and artwork, giving the place such a cozy, cutesy aesthetic. I also noticed they might be hiring, based on the sign at the entrance. I came here because my cousin-in-law (who lives in upper Washington) mentioned the place, and I needed a redemption meal after being disappointed by another chicken spot recently. Katsu Burger definitely delivered! The burgers here aren't your typical American-style burgers. They don't taste as greasy and sub cabbage instead of lettuce, similar to garnish for a tonkatsu plate. And surprisingly, the photos on the kiosk actually match what you get (no false advertising here!). The employee behind the counter was super kind and helped guide us through the ordering process. I don't think they take cash so maybe that's why orders are placed through the kiosk. For food: My son ordered the Tokyo Tower burger as-is, and I tried the Umami Burger with light cabbage (not a huge fan of crunchy water veggies like lettuce/cabbage/etc.). Both were AMAZING. I have heard of tonkatsu but I had no idea what beef katsu was before this. Thought it was just a regular beef patty, but wow.. it was crispy, flavorful, and just overall delicious. We ordered takeout and didn't even get home for about 30 minutes, but the food was still warm enough to enjoy without reheating. Portion-wise, my burger was perfect: filling but manageable (i think i made the right choice with light cabbage). My son's Tokyo Tower was massive (almost too big for him to handle xD), but we both agreed everything tasted incredible. I was tempted to try a bento box, but I knew I wouldn't finish it if I was already ordering a katsu burger. Next time though! My son already has his eye on the enormous Mt. Fuji burger, so we'll definitely be back. Parking is decent, though it can get busy during the day since it's near a gym and other businesses. Overall, if you're in the Lacey area, you HAVE to try this Katsu Burger at least once. It looks like they have about 8 other locations too in the other towns so if you're not in Lacey, there still might be one nearby you. The burgers are absolutely the star of the show :) I'm already looking forward to our next visit!
