I feel like I would have liked them a little better if they toasted their bread. Sandwich places that sell you hot sandwiches with cold bread is a big no no for me (and everyone else in my family because we went to Ziggy bombs once and collectively decided that was enough).

1 Chicago and 1 completo was the move.

TIL, and I love that.

The food isn’t great, isn’t a selling point to me haha

Alot of the hate for the food is too much, ziggy tho, I used to work for him and he was a nightmare, most of the girls I worked with spent half the shift crying because of how tense it was and he'd comment on the girls who were definitely too young, its a pretty small city so id bet half the hate is for the sandwiches and half is for him

69 niceeeeee

I tried to get a water there, paid or not, and they wouldn't let me. Tried pushing their crappy soda brand instead. Haven't been back since.

Awesome store, but more importantly, awesome humans.

Saw someone on Google give them a one star review just by reading the other reviews... people just love a hate train

it's because it got really popular. So now there's backlash from people saying its overrated.

Hahahaha what??

This was at 222 Maple Ave. in Shrewsbury. UMass still owns the property and buildings. While run down, they still have some functioning labs there. The former Center for Mindfulness also located there is a pretty cool looking building.

The owner is a jerk. He blocks the entrance of my apartment building chain smoking. I asked him if he could not do it right in-front of the door and he said, no. Rude acts like he owns the block.

I worked there in my high school & college years. It was a helluva store.

I miss that store

I was with a person who asked for their cheese steak sans onions, and they got shamed by the staff for it. I enjoyed my sub, but havent been back since.

Yes, his name is Chris Gould. He is a firefighter in NH now I think, I run into him from time to time when he comes back down to visit.

Completos and Tweed River pies (hummus and tabouli in a toasted pita), all night long

"Doctor Chang standing outside his laboratory at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology -- Shrewsbury (Mass.) in the winter of 1945. Min-Chueh Chang's development of oral contraception with Gregory Goodwin Pincus and John Rock changed human society. Chang also collaborated with Cyril Adams in the 1950s on embryo transfer in farm animals, which led to Chang's innovation of in vitro fertilization, or test-tube fertilization. Dr. Chang's office is now in the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C."

Agreed but you don’t have to order their loaded subs. I always just get the Philly Steak and Cheese and it’s great. Overpriced and puts me to sleep but still tasty as heck

Does this place give insane clown posse energy to anyone else? They even have their own faygo

People in this city hate everything that’s new and edgy but want to also complain about nothing changes in the city. It’s a vicious cycle of self-loathing.

When you add so much additional things, it’s no longer a steak and cheese

"One of Shrewsbury's most famous residents in the twentieth century was Anthony A. Borgatti, Jr. (Spag). Born the oldest of four children on February 29, 1916, in Worcester (Mass.), he opened a tire and battery store on Route 9 in Shrewsbury (Mass.) in 1934 that by 1939 had expanded to hardware and other items, and since then, was known by Anthony's nickname, Spag's. He married Olive Lutz on November 24, 1940 in St. Anne's Church. Together they raised three daughters, Carol, Jean and Sandra. Olive died on December 28, 1990, and Spag died on February 23, 1996. Oil portraits of both Borgattis by Worcester artist Leon Hovesepian now hang in the Shrewsbury Public Library."
