Blimpies

Bad expensive sandwiches. Never had a sandwich so bland. It was dinner time and no one was in the store but us which should have been a sign. Won’t be going back!

Having been a frequent Blimpies customer many years ago we were excited to see one opening on SE Delaware in Ankeny and totally unaware there was one already open on N Ankeny BLVD. The sandwich contents were good and much of what I remembered but everything was totally spoiled by undercooked bread. It was not the least bit brown and had kind of a doughy consistency. My wife who has a «thing» about soggy bread was effected in the same way which made it unlikely she will be up for a second chance for this restaurant unless she sees the bread first. There were teenagers working that while polite were not informative and likely because their Blimpies experience is very limited at this point. An older guy came out of the back room and just gave an awkward stare for a couple minutes which was both odd and uncomfortable. I would have thought if he was management that this was the opportunity to be friendly and welcoming. He never said a word and disappeared again. The teenage boys disappeared before I even finished filling my drink and there were no other customers and it was dinner time. Never a good sign. I left with my «to go order» with kind of a weird feeling not hearing anyone saying thanks or thanks for stopping in, just silence. BTW, it seems unfortunate that the sign on the back of the building is above the Starbucks Drive Thru menu probably leading some to think it might be Blimpies Drive Thru. There is NO drive thru so you must enter the store whether you are eating there or not.
