TOGO'S Sandwiches

A step above Subway, a notch below Quiznos. The pastrami is excellent, but the bread is just so-so. I also tried a turkey & guacamole. Way too much guac, the cheap tasting kind. Not recommended. Parking on Peal St. is terrible during the day. All in all, this CA chain is just ok. But I can't argue the fact that it's nice to have another food option downtown in the heart of Eugene. It's also nice for the folks at the always-busy Greyhound station across the street.

I've picked up lunch at Eugene's new TOGO's a couple times now. While the atmosphere and staff are all perfectly fine, so far I've been disappointed in the sandwiches themselves. I've tried a toasted Uncle Tony's Italian and a #9 Signature Pastrami, but neither of these managed to impress me. Oddly, I haven't been able to pinpoint what the problem is. Too much meat? Too much bread? Too few condiments? Overall, I'd just say the flavors have been unbalanced (in the case of the Italian) or surprisingly dull (the #9).

Like I said earlier, no problem with the ambience; the space has been completely remodeled and is light and open, if not a tad noisy. And the staff are eager, friendly, and enthusiastic. (They've clearly had some intense coaching and training.) So all's fine and good in those areas.

Hopefully, these are just start-up problems that will be worked out. I'm going to wait a few weeks and try them again. I'll update my rating and review as needed.

Togos makes some of the best pastrami that I've ever had. Unfortunately, their portions are lacking at this location to say the least.   $8 bucks for a large sandwich that leaves you still hungry is just wrong.   Usually these sandwiches are open faced monsters where as these are lookin pretty anorexic.
