Great place - fantastic food - outstanding service.
On a recent lunch excursion, I was in the mood to try something new... Tired of Subway and Quiz-nos, I was looking for a GOOD sub, and based on a few recommendations from friends, I stopped into Old City Sub in St Augustine.
Located on US1, near the Old Moultrie intersection, I walked into a wide open, retro looking dining area. For some reason, I was expecting a small shop, with a few tables sitting next to a large deli counter, but this place has tons of tables, and a large counter with lots of space to order. The menu is pretty impressive, a LOT of both hot and cold subs, a bunch of good looking salads and pitas, soups, and even homemade desserts!
I had a really tough time deciding which sandwich I wanted to go with, but I ended up choosing the Chicken Cordon Bleu for lunch, and an Italian to go (so I could have it for dinner at work). After placing my order, I grabbed my drinks and headed to my seat.
The food was delivered to my table about 3 minutes later, and it was AWESOME. The chicken was cooked just right, juicy and tender, and the ham and cheese really kicked it up. Throw in the mayo and spices, freshly cooked bread, and you've got yourself one humdinger of a good sandwich. I couldn't wait to devour the Italian for dinner that night, which was also spectacular. The meats were fresh, sliced right, and the toppings of fresh veggies, mayo, and Italian dressing really made the sandwich pop.
After finishing my lunch, the worker came from behind the counter to talk to me about how everything was, then picked up all the trash to take it to the trash can, even after I told him I would do it myself. Can't beat service like that in a place like this! A lot of other folks in the area must know, too, as I noticed a lot of people stopping in, and also noticed a LOT of orders being taken out and delivered (Free delivery in a 2 mile radius). They also offer up party subs and drinks for your next big get together!
Overall, I loved this place. The food was spectacular, the service was amazing, and there's still about 20 different subs I want to try. I would give it five stars, except it can be a bit pricey. You're looking at about $7.00 for a large sub here, and it certainly isn't a foot long, you can definitely get more food for your money at Subway or Quiz-nos, however you will NOT get a better tasting hoagie or better service, that's for sure. Will definitely be back, and I recommend this place to anyone looking to grab a delicious, quick lunch or dinner. The bomb! - MATT, St Augustine Florida
