I was here again this last week and I've been coming since the early '80s. This place has consistently made great sandwiches over the decades.
My recommendation is a small Garden Special, extra meat, no mayo.
Other reviewers complain about the decor and service. Yeah, they're not the best, but the sandwiches are.
I've been going to this place since I was a kid, and it's my absolute favorite sandwich shop in town. To give you a comparison you might be familiar with, the sandwiches are like Schlotzsky style if they became twice as good as they are and didn't use processed junk. The homemade batter bread is what makes us long-timers fall in love with it.
The sandwiches are HUGE and stuffed. I have a huge appetite for these sandwiches and usually I can't eat more than 2/3 of a large in one sitting, I almost always have some leftover for a snack later. The smalls are basically just a little larger than the average hamburger size. The bun on the large fills most of a plate. The special was what I used to eat all the time (very good) and then moved onto the veggie with cheese and jalapenos.
Yum yum yum. Don't let the outside of this place fool you. The kitchen is clean, the food all made fresh on site, and the owner shops the local farmers markets for the produce. Definitely delicious.
I got out of the navy in 1989. I moved to San Antonio in the Monte Visata Area. I discovered The sandwich Garden. The sandwich i had was wonderful. Im so glad it is stil with us. I go back back from time to time and am never dissaponted. You guys are great.
I've always had good service, and there food is awesome :)
