Sandwich Man - Harrisburg

I typically spend at least $25 a week at the Allentown Blvd store, but my recent experience was disappointing. I ordered a Reuben that turned out to be the worst I’ve ever had—cold and with burnt bread. Living 25 miles away, I couldn’t return it. When I asked an employee for a replacement or a discount, he informed me that his boss wouldn’t allow him to help me without having the sandwich back. It's frustrating to think that they would let go of a loyal customer and the friends I bring in, who together spend around $1,500+ a year. Jackie

I've enjoyed my fair share of deli sandwiches, and this place really delivers. At first, the restaurant might seem a bit unkempt, but the food more than makes up for it and tastes absolutely amazing. The cooks take great pride in their quality and ensure you get exactly what you want for your toppings. Their sandwiches are heaped with cheese, meat, and any veggies you desire. I highly recommend the G8 or G9... this place is fantastic for sandwiches, and I owe it all to my fiancé for introducing me to it. He knows Pennsylvania well. And let's not forget the beer...

I've visited this restaurant countless times for lunch and typically order the Italian sandwich. However, I decided to try something different this time—a pastrami special with Thousand Island dressing. Unfortunately, it made me feel unwell for the rest of the day, and I haven't returned since. It's a pity because their bread and Italian sandwiches are excellent.

I had my first Sandwich Man sub over 30 years ago. Unwrapping the rust colored butcher paper unveiled a truly great sub. The subs were huge and the rolls fresh crusty on the outside, soft and bready on the inside. Sublime. Sadly, my recent visit was nothing like the first. Eight dollars gets you what used to be a half sub, not a whole sub. The half roll was a day old, which ruins the experience, as the roll cracks and falls to pieces. The provolone cheese was thin and dry and, like the roll, cracked into pieces. And the thing was built by laying the roll flat and stacking roast beef, iceburg lettuce leaves (didn't they formerly shred the lettuce? and slabs of good tomato into a pile so thick and inflexible that simply closing the sandwich to eat it instead destroyed it. Crumbly mess. Not good. At least the butcher paper has not changed in 30 years. Let's get back to basics. A fresh roll. A carefully built sandwich that closes and holds together. But don't change the butcher paper. I will come back, but I expect a fresh roll next time.

I was looking for a place to grab a quick sandwich and stumbled onto this gem! Extensive menu at reasonable prices, and the for was great. I ordered the Turkey Rachel sandwich and it was fabulous. Definitely worth a stop to check it out.
