As me a friend was riding down Sherwood Forest today, we spotted Schlotzsky’s Deli and decided to go ahead and give it a try since we were in the mood for a sandwich.

I tried the Angus Beef & Cheese Sandwich combo on sour dough with Cracked Pepper chips.  This was the most-bland sandwich I have ever eaten, which is very unusual for a sandwich with made with sourdough bread. The bread didn’t have that classic sourdough taste that I love and the Angus beef and cheese really had no taste at all. It tasted completely unseasoned.

I ate a few bites and decided to sprinkle some salt and pepper on it. That did nothing for the taste (or lack there of) either.  After that, I had one option left…hot sauce. I splashed hot sauce on the sandwich, around the sandwich and even on me. After that my sandwich just tasted like chewable hot sauce.  

Just to give something a good comment, the Cracked Pepper chips were very good and my friend order, "The Original" (Schlotzsky’s version of the muffalata) was pretty descent.

Food Ratings:

Service
The service was descent. The girl behind the counter was very shy and didn’t communicate well with customers but the food was prepared quickly.

Service Rating:

Atmosphere
The atmosphere was nice. I like to think of Schlotzsky’s as an upscale Subway or Quizno’s. It was very clean, not too loud and a comfortable eating environment.
