I asked for the four plates to be cut into steaks which I've done on occasion when feeling lazy on 10lb+ orders, but this time seemed different and they kept all the points -- the plate is a triangle. I didn't realize that they'd keep so much of the "trimmings" so I went from 11.88lbs to just over 9 which means they kept just over 2.5 lbs which presumably goes into their ground beef. Works out to $20 a lb for me. I did have a pleasant FB messenger conversation with someone, but I've been a member at Costco for 20 years (kept my membership active) so I'll be going back to them full time. My advice to customers. Ask for the trimmings if you're asking them to butcher any meat product. Especially picahna which is super easy to do. My advice to Fred's. Ask the customers if they want the trimmings.

We had a chicken parm sandwich and an Italian, both were huge, both were great sandwiches, bread is great along with the meats. Best, cheapest sandwich for $10, why anybody would go to a subway or Jimmy Johns and pay more for a sub-par sandwich, I don't know. Keep up the fantastic attitudes and slinging awesome sandwiches!!

First off I'm not sure what food people in these reviews are eating, because in my experience the Italian mix sub was very bland, the bread was dry, and the meat looked pale and weird. That ambience of the place was nostalgic which is the reason why I gave it 3 stars and not 2. The woman helping me was friendly enough but made it a point to tell me how gas prices were fine at $4.10 per gallon as long as Trump was the president, which annoyed me because it gives an indication that details don't matter here. Given the taste of the $15 small sub I paid for it definitely tracks. Be your own critic, but for me it's the history of this place and not the food has people coming back. I won't be one of them.

There is an array of both hot/cold items & an aroma that will catch anyone's attention as soon as the doople is open. The ONLY downside is that there is just one location. I no longer live/work close to them, and I wish that they would expand to my direction. However, they work very hard to make sure that we all leave w a smile on our face and are very satisfied with the service/food that we received. They deserve a 5 review!
