text: Yesterday I was downtown hungry so I dropped in here my first dining experience at a Scholtzskys I ordered a medium Pastrami Swiss on rye The bread looked like a big round chocolate cookie but had a rather normal taste not even particularly rye The pastrami was lean tender did not have any gristle but it was smallish the sandwich alone was over with the tax I am a soup lover they had some soup there but it was around for a small bowl so I passed The restaurant itself was comfortable appropriate built up to take you back to the snnIn my view with these reviews it is all about comparison I do not usually review nonbuffet restaurants but there was such a contrast between Schlotzskys yesterday the place where I ate today I just had to writennI was over at WalMart in Laveen for a few things You could smell the fresh bread baking at the Subway right there inside it made me hungry so I dropped in I ordered a sandwich there comparable to the one I ate yesterday at Schlotzskys plus a bowl of Cream of Broccoli soup My sub plus the fairly goodsized bowl of soup cost about half as much as the competitive sandwich alone at Schlotzskys BOTH were TOTAL I am not mistaken I have the receipt right in front of me as I am typing Not only that the Subway sandwich beat Schlotzskys hands down even without the soup It had much more on it was really good Then there was ALSO the Cream of Broccoli soup nice hot deliciousnnBottom line Subway amounts to the same kind of restaurant but is genuinely better than Schlotzskis where nothing about it is bad just not as good Stars not as goodnn Update Today I tried Scotts Generations Now THAT IS a Deli Restaurant
