Most of the time I try to write about something that is taking place around the church or in my life, and my hope is that through those experiences we can gain an insight about God, our faith, or where He would desire for us to be if our faith would be consistent and strong.
Today, that’s not my motive at all.
Instead, I’m just going tell the Top 5 Sandwich locations in town (for those who read regularly you know one of Molly’s and my favorite pasttimes is going out to eat).
So, without further delay:
- Potbellies — It’s located down on campus and it is great! Sandwiches are good, milkshakes are available, and if there at the right time you can see live music from atop their loft. With the students around it’s also a great people watching location.
- Penn Station — There are now 2 locations. One is just off of N. Prospect near Meijer and the other is in Campus town. Great hot sandwiches off of a griddle and homemade, homecut french fries. It’s a little pricey, but once you bite into the sandwich the extra buck or so is worth it.
- Jimmy Johns — It’s just a classic sub shop where you get really good food. No pomp. No frills. Just “freaky” good. One helpful tip: Don’t go with people and expect to have a conversation. Grab it and just go to a park.
- Quizno’s — I would describe this as a good cross between Jimmy John’s and Penn Station but without the really great quality that you’ll find at the previously mentioned locations.
- McAllister’s Deli — This probably goes out beyond just the sandwich category, but I think they deserve to compete in this category as well. They have really good food and sandwiches beyond just the typical turkey and ham. Molly would tell you they have great sweet tea.
Honorable Mention:
Za’s — Once again extends beyond the category of sandwich, but they do have good sandwiches and I like the style of ordering.
You’ll notice 2 likely places were left off my list and I can tell you why. Here you go:
- Panera/Atlanta Bread — Overpriced and way too girlie, girl
- Subway — Despite “Jerod’s” recommendation they just aren’t what they used to be
Well, it’s not spiritual. It MIGHT be life changing. I’m sure it’s controversial. So, how would you rank ‘em?

+1 for “forgetting” Panera. May as well add Atlanta Bread Co. as number 1.5

In no particular order:
Blues – I love the Junkyard Dawg – (Pulled pork & slaw on top of a hot dog.) Cheap, but really satisfying.
Buffalo Wild Wings – I love their Big Jack Daddy Burger. Pulled pork, cheddar jack cheese & onion rings on a burger, with BBQ sauce. It’s just good.
Cactus Grill – Good fish tacos for the price. Re-opening (if not already) in the strip just south of First Federal Bank on Neil St.
Seven Saints – Great sliders, fantastic tomato bisque, and I love the Magic Hat #9. (that’s beer btw)
Escobar – Best 5 star fish tacos I have ever had. Fresh white fish, home made guacamole. Yummm.
And I would still have to list Sonic and Steak-n-Shake. High fat, greasy, but just gooooood. :-)
Murphy’s Deli was really good too, but they closed. Too bad.
I do like Penn Station but it is too pricey. I also used to love Legends for their fish, but it no longer compares to what it used to be.
