Schlotzsky's Deli

This place is the HEART & SOUL of sandwiches... another reason why I need to move back to Colorado - THIS place!

I normally use to order the pizza that is pepperoni and I am always happy about it! The LARGE Sandwiches are LARGE and sooo tasty - I normally get the turkey and everything on it. My dad use to get the pastrami which always looked equally amazing... I miss this place and I hope it always stays right where it is unless of course it wanted to come to the WEST COAST and join our side of the sandwich. I would much appreciate this deli coming my way!!! This place is superb and absolutely worth the money - DOWN to the penny!!! SOOOO WORTH EVERYTHING I GOT to get back there and get another sandwich!

I was out this way on business and stopped in for a sandwich.  There are precious few Schlotzsky's left in the Denver metro area, I'm unclear on why that is.  Maybe my own experience will be informative.  I ordered the medium sized Original, chips and a drink.  The price was about what one would expect to pay these days for such a meal - less than ten dollars.  Those of you who have never been to a Schlotzsky's before, the Original is a type of deli sandwich with ham and salami as the base meats then they add all the fixings like tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese and black olives.  The standout feature of Schlotzsky's to me is the bread.  The sandwich bread is fresh and is designed in rounds with a glazed crust.  They give you a table number and deliver the sandwich when ready.  A pickle is offered as a freebie and they have a special hot sauce made by the brand.  The hot sauce is like a mild version of Cholula and the free pickles are great.  

Where I get derailed with Schlotzsky's is that I feel like I'm carbo-loading without that being my specific intent.  For years my experience has been the same, the taste is good and the meal appears to be a good value, but several hours later I'm REALLY hungry again, telling me that somehow the presentation is hiding a lack of actual caloric content.  I'll probably continue to eat at Schlotzsky's periodically, I just can't make it a regular thing and perhaps others have discerned what I have, hence the lack of franchise presence when once it was bountiful, much like I wish their sandwiches were.  Sorry, there are just too many other sandwich places with too many options.

Corned Beef, Pastrami amazing round little bready goodness...
