A Couple Quizno’s Coupons

Here’s a couple Quizno’s coupons. One will get you free chips and a drink with the purchase of a regular sub, large sub, or chopped salad. The other is good for $1 off of a regular sub, or $2 off of a large sub, excludes some subs. Both expire March 7.

Quizno’s Subs

Quizno’s is interesting because, depending on the location, the experience can vary greatly. In my experiences, it seems that most Quizno’s are franchise owned, and the individual owners have widely different ideas about how to run a business, and how to treat their customers. Some give great service, give a hearty helping of toppings, and honor all coupons. Some locations don’t honor Internet coupons, some don’t honor particular flier coupons, and some are very stingy on toppings. The quality and freshness of the food can vary greatly by location as well.

Quizno’s offers a variety of subs, sandwiches, soups, and wraps. I’ve never had a sub that was particularly bad, but a really good Quizno’s sub is hard to find. If I had to choose between Quizno’s or Subway, I’d go with Quizno’s, unless I know a particular location is bad. It really is a gamble going to Quizno’s though, because, unless you’ve been to that location before, you don’t know if you will have a good or bad experience. Quizno’s, as a company, really needs to wrangle in their franchises, have all locations honor coupons, and provide more uniform service and food quality.

What’s Your Beef?

I was invited to What’s Your Beef? in downtown Orlando by the owners, Mike and Lisa Fracasso. They are a new place, they’ve only been open for a couple months, and they have a style new to Orlando. They moved to Orlando about 10 years ago from Chicago, and missed some of the food so much, they opened their own place to make up for it. It’s a nice little place, with bar style seating.

They have a variety of excellent food on their menu. They have Chicago style hot dogs, tamales, a unique style of pizza, and a couple different styles of subs. Their specialty is the Italian beef sub. Italian beef, for those that don’t and I was one of them, is a slow cooked roast beef specially seasoned. They wouldn’t tell me their secret ingredients, but I do know that it has chopped carrots and celery. It is a very juicy sandwich. It has just the right amount of spice to it, giving a little hot sensation, but not sticking with you for too long. They have sausages with peppers and onions, and a combo sub with Italian beef and sausage.

Their meatball sub has homemade meatballs, which are plump and juicy. The sub has plenty of sauce as well, so it isn’t dry at all. The tamales are a platter covered with chili and cheese. They are flavorful with just a little bit of a kick to them. The pizza is only available on Fridays right now. It is made from scratch, and topped with peppers, Italian beef, and sausage. They have spicy and sweet varieties.

The prices are reasonable. Expect to pay between $6-7 for a sandwich and drink. They are very filling though, and the ingredients are tasty and fresh. I definitely recommend them, as they are an excellent and unique taste to the area.

Jax 5th Ave Deli & Ale House

Jax 5th Ave Deli & Ale HouseĀ  is a run of the mill deli shop. I have eaten here a few times for lunch, having different sandwiches each time; the Cuban, French Dip, and 5th Ave, a sandwich made of turkey, ham, roast beef, and a variety of breads. Each of these are a good choice, but the 5th Ave is the only one that definitely won’t leave you hungry afterwards. The sandwiches come with more potato chips than you will want to eat, considering they are often stale. For the price you pay here, it would be nice to have a choice of some more appetizing, and filling sides.

The two things that Jax has going for it are, it’s vast beer selection, and the fact that they put a jar of dill pickles on your table. The pickles are kosher dill, and nice and crispy. The beer selection is excellent, and will have something for everyone.

Overall, I would only recommend this place for the beer. Sit at the bar and have a few, and snack on the free pickles. The sandwiches are alright, but you can get a bigger, better, and cheaper sandwich from Publix. The service has also been poor for my coworkers and I, often having to repeatedly ask for drinks, and felt like we were inconveniencing them in the process.
