My first visit here was great, but my second trip eight months ago was a complete disaster from start to finish. I arrived in the mid-afternoon and the restaurant was empty, yet nearly every table was dirty and had trash and dishes all over them. Instead of maintaining the dining area, the staff was sitting around eating and chatting, completely indifferent to the state of the restaurant. The meal itself was horrible. We ordered the California Avocado Flatbread which arrived topped with onions and no avocado. When we pointed out that the avocado was missing the server claimed the onions were meant for a Turkey Avocado Club (which also isn't supposed to have onions). We had to send our entire order back. Despite the place being empty, we waited another 20-30 mins for the remake. When it finally arrived, the quality was bland and disappointing; the chicken on the flatbread was served stone-cold, making it clear that "freshness" isn't a priority here. To top off a bad meal, the restrooms were filthy and smelled terrible. To make matters worse the restroom required a keypad code to enter, and the cashier gave me the wrong code twice, forcing me to walk back and ask again. Spending over $20 (including tip) for a "quick lunch" that was neither quick nor quality is unacceptable. Between the lack of basic cleanliness, the cold food, and the disorganized service, I won't be returning. It's a shame to see a place with potential turn into such a letdown. read more

Schlotzsky's - Mix and Match: Half Turkey Avocado Club & Half Chicken and Avocado Flatbread - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Schlotzsky's never disappoints! The sandwiches are always fresh, loaded with flavor, and served on their signature toasted bread that keeps us coming back. Fast, friendly service and great portions make it an easy choice for a quick lunch. If you're in Tempe and craving a great sandwich, this spot is definitely worth a visit! read more

*(3.5 stars rounded up cause the sandwich was good) You'd think I would have been to Schlotzsky's before, but I haven't. Today, the universe aligned and this is how it went: The Good: The food surprised me! I got the French Dip (swapped sourdough for rye, added mushrooms--highly recommend). The flavors were on point and the au jus was savory. The frosted cookie sandwich was huge with perfect texture. Left with a full belly and leftovers. The Bad: The service was... struggling. Both the app and website crashed on me and I couldn't pre-order. Staff: I asked for the French dip to come with rye instead of sourdough, and the kid behind the counter told me this was how it comes (it doesn't). I also scanned the app specifically for the $5 reward, which wasn't applied (neither were points until I scanned my receipt). Management: When I asked for clarification on the rewards glitch, the manager basically shrugged and told me to "call corporate." The Ugly: The playlist. It was a relentless assault of Mariah Carey and Mariah covers. Unless you want to feel like you're trapped in 1995, bring headphones. Verdict: Come for the sandwiches, stay for the... actually, just get the sandwich and leave before the third ballad starts. read more

Wowsa! Ok so full disclosure.. I did meet ( get it not meat pun meant ) at a Schlotzsky's long time ago .. so Iam biased.. but.. the last time I had Schlotzsky's .. it was Grossky's.. and it was this place..so I knew it well .. not good.. not normal..but.. Huge But.. (every body's got one). Yesterday.. I was convinced to try again.. Sooo good.. bread on point.. meat on point.. ALL good!! The only suggestion I would have .. Is if your gonna serve Cinnabon.. Mochalotta Chill is mandatory!! But I also understand the whole cost n machine issue.. All really good though.. and they still have the really good pickle too.. I was pleasantly surprised.. I don't know what changed.. I was bummed at previous experience.. but it was excellent!! Keep it going.. read more

I saw on T-Mobile they had a promo and I've never tried this place before and gave it a shot . The lady at the drive seemed very careless and gave me my food and shut the window quickly . She forgot my straw so I waited there for a few minutes before she returned and felt like she was giving me attitude . Besides that the food was honestly really bad. I'm not picky at all and I ordered the blt and it was so dry and everything in it tasted like it was heated In a microwave . The broccoli cheese was the other item I ordered and it almost tased sour like it was left out for a while . Also not good . I'm only leaving 2 stars instead of 1 because I liked the strawberry lemonade . read more

Walking in everything look great, as usual the app takes some work to get thru. We ordered pepperoni pizzas with extra cheese and went to sit down. Well, most of the tables were dirty, hadn't been cleaned, and many had food on the floor under the tables. Our pizza came out with a few slices with no pepperoni and not much extra cheese? Also, the men's room had no paper towels to dry you hands so there's that. read more

Came to pick up for the T-Mobile special deal and to try this place out as it was my first but it did not leave a good impression. I ordered on phone and came to quickly pick up but as I went to the counter no one once talked to me. I waited and still no one. I then ask about my orders and another one I was picking up didn't get printed at all and they had no recollection of it. I got my order but I wasn't able to pick up the other order that was placed the same way. For events like this, their management should have been better and had more people in to help. I saw them all scrambling and just left because I was already at 45mins for a pick up order. I don't think I'll ever again do this. The women there wasn't helpful at all and only the cash register spoke to me. read more

Had sandwiches catered for our group lunch. The variety of options were amazing. Service was perfection. The Italian cold sub was fantastic. Bobby took our order and checked in to make sure everything went well. I will def order catered sandwiches from this place again. read more

The food is decent but the female staff member working at the drive through on 3/10/22 at 8pm was extremely rude my entire order. I told her I had redeemed the free chips and drink reward and the app would not let me get the free drink, only the chips, so I kindly requested the drink in person. I showed her the coupon as well. She was steadfast in her refusal and said she couldn't do anything about it. She told me to call corporate about a $2.59 small drink. I don't like complaining about the staff at a place but I am sure she was doing her best at the time and was unaware of how to best help me. I hope in the future this location can have friendlier staff so that my reviews can just focus on the food which I always prefer. read more

Schlotzsky's - Free chips and drink reward I tried to redeem but was denied - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The food is really good at Schlotzsky's. Every morning I get the sourdough bread bacon breakfast sandwich. They have different bread options for their sandwiches, even gluten-free. They have a ton of other good food too. The service is Great! Ambience is awesome as well. All the employees make you feel welcome when you go there. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone I meet. read more

Nothing beats a Schlotzky Original! No matter where I get one from it's always delicious. Same experience at this location every time I have been. read more

Excellent eatery in the Tempe area. It was very quiet and a great place to catch up on unfinished work, school etc. friendly staff. As a checked with Yelp I was awarded a free cookie. When I showed the reward, the manager had never seen that before. He still honored the reward. This is a great sandwich spot read more

The food, service, and dining area are always clean quick and great. Love the soup and sandwich combo. Has a Cinnabon inside also you smell it the entire time. Portions are large. read more

These sandwiches are literally the best.... Did the original with chicken instead of ham, and it was worth writing home for. They absolutely nail it every time, and the bread is my favorite ever. read more

I always enjoy getting their Tuna sandwiches. The fact that you can have it on croissant bread makes it even better. The chili is a must try along with the soups! The service is always great and the restaurant is a pretty good grab and go vibe. No disappointments at all read more

Now, I have heard really good things about their sandwiches, but I really come here for the Cinnabon! It was a tasty warm treat Friday after work. Its was super sweet, as expected but I definitely enjoyed it! read more

Schlotzsky's - Cinnabon Classic Roll - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I am so glad my husband is working back in Tempe. This past year he enjoyed only having a 20 minute drive to and from work, but the buildings he was working in kept on getting broken into by homeless druggies trying to make some fast cash. It was getting dangerous. Schlotzsky's is open earlier than most places in the area and he really likes their food. Back in early 2000 he had a different opinion, but they have come a long way. This time he enjoyed the Fiesta. read more

Haven't been to this Schlotzsky's in years. I arrived at 10 AM and there were three other parties. The vibe inside was a bit upbeat, with loud 80's music, both in the restrooms and the restaurant. Both were kept very clean and the tables were spaced for Covid concerns. I ordered the Big Bacon Beef Cheesy sandwich and a large drink. My lunch arrived in six mins. The drink machines were in sad shape. One was out of order and the other was out of 2/3 of the drinks. My sandwich was good, albeit expensive. The meat was sliced thin and was tender, hot and juicy. The cheese was melted but the bacon was nearly absent. Schlotzsky's has never been my favorite place but it was convenient for me. read more

I've been in this location a few times. I cannot say that I'm totally impressed. While the menu selection is decent, The staff leave something to be desired. There was one employee that was being completely insufferable towards her coworkers, upset over seemingly little things. she seemed like a shift lead or something equivalent. WHAT A TOTAL CLASS ACT!! This is horrible representation for schlotzky's! read more

Do not go here. I specifically said I am allergic to pickles and not to put them on the sandwich or even on the side and of course when I got home there was a pickle on the side. Couldn't eat the sandwich. Called to talk to the manager who really didn't care. If you want to be treated as a customer and not something someone has just stepped in, don't go here read more

I had gotten the Reuben oh my goodness outstanding but the pricer was not worth it and then we had got a pizza and the price for that I could've gone to the store and gotten four pizzas but the pizza was not good and needed something. I just don't know what needed. The girl who served me was great. She was friendly. She had great Customer Service skills. The building was nice. The area of the building is not a nice looking area but the food is good. read more

We are a business that frequents this location..alot. There have been minor issues in the past that we overlooked. Last week I placed an order, it was wrong order, Called spoke to manager was told come through pick up right order when it's convenient. SO...went through today, got called a liar by Margie Saltido, who was the manager I spoke with, waited in parking lot for 20 min, With Noone in drive thru, then proceeded to get the replacement order with half the ingredients. I will not return until she is gone read more

I haven't been to a Schlotzsky's in a few years. I walked in to order a sandwich to go. The store was clean and completely empty on a Saturday afternoon. The person at the counter was polite, and he took my order. During the check out process, he pointed out the tipping options on the machine( 0,10%,15% and 20%). I thought I was being pressured to tip, without getting the food yet. How do I know it's good, what I ordered, etc? I told him I wasn't sure, and he said I could hit zero. I did have a five dollar bill and I said if he could give me singles, I'd be happy to leave a dollar in the tip jar on the counter. He hesitated, and said he couldn't open the cash drawer. So -no tip for perfunctory service at he counter. When I got home, I found the sandwich to be the wonderful, product I expected. I feel bad about not tipping.... But really? Just to give my order? Not sure I will be going back there again. It was just awkward and weird. read more

This Schlotsky's is consistently awesome. The staff is friendly and I love the Original sammich.

Terrible service they tired arguing with me over a water cup after I tipped them 5$ crazy

Completely obliterated my order. I should always look but didn't. I ordered pastrami on rye with Swiss was not rye . Dark rye and extra sauerkraut and olives.. I should have looked. Plus I tried the pastrami and it was dry. No wonder they are looking for help. The manager offered to remake it, but tomorrow I'm just going to get a refund for a small sandwich for 9.00 read more

First time having this chain and it wasn't bad! I'll be honest, I think it's weird the sandwiches have olives on them. The sandwich was kind of better the next day. They forgot one of my sides but they did give me my Yelp free cookie so I can't complain. Would go back because it's across the street from my office but probably not otherwise read more

The food quality has seemed to diminish over the years and the prices are high. I only eat here once every year or two. It feels like each time I do, I am reminded of why I rarely go. The food is just not very good. Though I did not buy and cinnamon buns, the prices for them were really high and they were rather small. read more

I mean I'm being generous since this is hot lunch meat on bread. But the sour dough is always good, the meats always hot, and you're sure to get 1/8th of an avacado. I didn't get what I paid for but I did eat it. read more

Schlotzsky's - I added spicy mustard because the sandwich is usually dry. That's how I found out I only had a itty bit of avacado. - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

It's a good idea. Take the concept of an old-fashioned Jewish deli sandwich shop, and convert it into a fast food joint. The bread is good, but you can taste all the grease in the dough. Superior overall to Arby's, and it makes a really nice alternative to your standard fast food hamburger joint. It's more expensive though, and for the money, a REAL old-fashioned Jewish deli would deliver up something that would completely blow any sammich here away. Good every once in a while. I come to Schlotzky's about once or twice a year. read more

Quick service, friendly people, the food was delicious. Had no issues, place had a few people in it but nothing crazy. I would come again. I would recommend if you love sandwich they have a big selection. read more

Surprisingly I haven't been into a Schlotzsky's in over 10 years. I was with my dad in the area and we were looking for something quick for lunch so we stopped in. I can say this, Jason was amazing, very friendly and humored my father by laughing at his jokes. We both ordered medium Turkey Bacon Clubs on sourdough. The sandwiches were delicious, and the medium was a huge portion. Bottom line, I have to start going into Schlotzsky's more often, not a bad sandwich. read more

We hadn't stopped at a Schlotzsky's in years. We weren't quite sure what to order but stuck with a normal favorite of ours, the french dip on pretzel bread. What's pretzel bread? We didn't know but tried it anyway. Pretzel bread is good and the sandwich along with the au jus was great. We also ordered a bowl of chicken and dumpling soup. I thought it was A-OK but my husband hated it. He didn't think it tasted like good chicken broth. Servers were 50-50. Some were friendly and a couple others were sour. Where's the smile and where's the attitude? Anyway, we'd go back and try another sandwich again and maybe a different soup. We will see. read more

From the time we walked in we were greeted By a very friendly cashier who asked us if we were ready to order we said not right now we're looking at the menu. She asked us if we had any questions and helped us a little bit with our selection. After we ordered and sat down one of the staff came by and asked us if we needed anything and then ask my wife about the big cookie she got. Food was delivered in a timely manner and I ordered was great. I would definitely recommend this location Joe read more
