Hoagies Sanwiches & Grill, San Luis Obispo

"Update 2: I’ve been going to this place on and off for about 3 years since first review, and it’s alright but super inconsistent. Prices have been rising along with inflation and whatnot, but the quality of service has declined. My fries are often soggy & wraps aren’t crispy even when ordered as such. Every now and then it comes out perfect - maybe kitchen staff are a factor here, but I just don’t understand what is so confusing about wanting something like fries to be crispy, and a tortilla crispy to be crispy. If it gets steamed waiting at the counter, then maybe a different to-go solution is needed. The box is often wet and doesn’t hold integrity. I’m not sure if these details just aren’t obvious but I’m hoping someone will notice after I’ve made these comments multiple times. I wanna give y’all a chance, but you keep letting me down. I’m ready to give up. Update: I returned to give Hoagies another shot, and the fries & sandwich were much better this time. I should note that I was compensated for returning but I try to keep my reviews honest and unbiased so regardless of price or payment, the service and quality were much improved! Ymmv. I really wanted to like this place, but first impressions were not great. The pictures looked good and reviews all gave high marks. Unfortunately I was recommended a lackluster sauce which turned out to be an upsell. It didn’t feel right to be charged extra for a small paper cup of glorified thousand island after an employee said it was good. Just leaves a bad taste in a customer’s mouth, figuratively. The cheesesteak was mediocre. Nothing special there. The fries were cold and lacked seasoning, they seemed to be reheated. The bread was nothing special either. Just felt low quality for $21. I always try to leave unbiased reviews, and this was one experience, so maybe I had bad luck."

"the customer service was friendly and quick! the place itself has such a nice environment and the decorations are very pleasing to the eye :) i enjoyed my meal here and would recommend"

"Good sandwich and burger. More fries than any one person could ever want to eat in one sitting. The service there was great. All the folks are young and energetic and have smiles on their faces. The room is concrete floor and hard ceiling so it could probably get pretty loud there if the tables were full but we were there during a slow times so it was pleasant."

"We usually go to the Pismo location but didn't have enough time to get there. It was literally five minutes before closing and they served us here at the SLO location like it was no big deal. The restaurant is really nice and the staff were all really cool. I especially enjoyed the VW decorations and the little lounge area with games. Very cool. The food was good. We ordered the loaded clam Chowder and split a Pismo wrap. I think because we were so late, the food wasn't as fresh as it could be. We needed a side of bbq sauce because the wrap was very dry. Those wraps are very hearty and with a lot of meat, probably compounded the issue. Even with that minor issue, I fully recommend Hoagies SLO and wouldn't hesitate to try it again soon."

"HUGE breakfast burritos. I was full after eating half but couldn’t stop because it was so good. Can’t wait to come back and try other items :) the child’s waffle sticks were super good too!"
