How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
Several years ago, we ate at Sammy's a couple of times, and they were great. Finally, we decided to go back for lunch today, and boy, how things have changed! First, when we arrived, we waited in line for about 15-20 minutes to place our order. Considering that there were only four people in line ahead of us, that seemed excessive. Little did we know that the wait to order was short compared to how long we'd wait for our food! It took at least 20-30 minutes for our food to be served. People who were in line waiting to order in front of us got their orders, finished, and left before we were served. And this isn't a gourmet fine-dining establishment; it's a sandwich hut. That's way too long to be served. Our sandwiches weren't anything to get excited about, either. I had the regular LA pastrami sandwich, which was fine, as far as it goes. My wife had ordered the pastrami combo, which was supposed to come with a Polish sausage on it. Apparently, "Polish sausage" is code for mediocre hot dog, because that's what came on top of her sandwich. Very disappointing. On top of everything else, it was way overpriced. Two sandwiches and two sodas for almost $26. Ridiculous. The worst part is, we drove past much better restaurants to get to Sammy's. We drove past Pop's Philly Cheese-steaks to get to Sammy's. We won't be making that mistake again. If you want a great sandwich, drive 2-3 minutes up the road to get to Pop's. If you must have pastrami, go to Capriotti's across the street. If you just want to get rid of excess cash, give it to a worthwhile charity. But I can't think of any reason to go Sammy's, at least not for us....Available choices:
