Sandwich Bowl

I’ve been visiting this place for a little over a month now and I still love it. My boyfriend and I have our weekly date night here. We love the casual atmosphere and enjoy sitting and watching the food network.
My favorites (and the only two sandwiches I’ve tried so far) are the B.A.T.H. and the 6^th street. My boyfriend, however tries something new all the time! His favorites (so far) are Son-​of-​a, Flying Pig, Chatburn and the Big Dipper.
I love the friendly atmosphere, the great food and don’t see our weekly outing here to change in the future anytime soon.

I love that they will put your sandwich in a salad for you. That helps me a lot, since I can’t have bread. Also, they have healthier side options, if you would rather not have chips, or potatoes. To top it off, they have super huge portions. It’s not super quick, though. So, this is for times when you can wait for them to prepare the food fresh for you.

Awesome food and service. Just had my first experience at Sandwich Bowl and will definitely become a regular. Very friendly staff and amazing sandwiches.

Walked in and immediately was greeted by a really eager employee. Her name was Jessica also, and she explained the entire menu to me to help me narrow down my options. The restaurant is clean and tidy, the menu is not over-​ambitious but definitely unique, and the food quality is worth coming back for. If you’re craving a good sandwich or soup but don’t want to settle for a homemade plain turkey and cheese sandwich or a can of Campbell’s– this place is THE place to go to satisfy any craving. Seriously. I can’t wait to go back. And I’m telling all my friends about this place!

Homemade soups were awesome. Had the Big Apple and Roast Beast, great stuff! Well be back.

I have only been here twice between soccer tournament games in Lawrence, but I love the place. It has a great atmosphere inside, the employees and cashier are very friendly, and it is clean as well. However, I haven’t even gotten to the food. The Italian sandwich is great and the perfect size. The Potato and Bacon soup is hearty and flavorful. They also have ice cream, which I also really enjoy. Next time I am in Lawrence, hopefully I will eat at the Sandwich Bowl!

We had the Gyro from this place. It was okay. The tzatziki sauce needs more cucumber and its missing something tangy. Overall the Gyros were good. Just need to add more flavor. Would we go back… Yes.

This place is awesome. I’m a little worried that not a lot of people are aware that it’s around – it’s worth trying and then some.
Atmosphere is the only thing I have a little problem with – the décor and wall art is a little spaced out and eclectic. Still, every single time I’ve been in there, the people are outstandingly nice. I’d much rather have great service and great food than compromise either for the sake of décor.
I’m very particular with how bacon is cooked – Sandwich Bowl consistently gets it right. So far I’ve only had their BLT on a hoagie, but it’s just so good that it’s hard to not get. My mom gets Victoria St. and loves it. She recently tried it in a bowl but since it is essentially a BLT with cheese, it was a little «ehh» in the bowl.
But that’s the thing that Sandwich Bowl has – variety. You can get any of their sandwiches in a bowl as salads or on different breads. That’s a god-​send for a picky person like me.
I’m sure I’ll get around to trying more things on their menu. In the meantime, try them and spread the word!

Great sandwich shop! They have a huge variety of sandwiches that they can make and are very willing to adjust any sandwich how you’d like it. That said, I would highly recommend trying them as they are; the ingredients they put together are phenomenal (with the possible exception of Miracle Whip). Sometimes the names of the sandwiches don’t make a ton of sense, but if you take a minute and look at the ingredients instead, I would be very surprised if you didn’t find a combination you liked.
They have a nearly overwhelming number of options; when you walk in, there’s a chalk wall behind the counter with their most popular options (I decided on the County Fair and was NOT disappointed!), but that doesn’t include everything on the menu, so if you’d really like to peruse, grab one of the green menus and sit down. It might take you a while.
The cashier working when I went in (7p on a Wednesday) was absolutely incredible. Easily the best cashier I’ve ever seen in a fast food establishment. She walked us through the menu above and made some excellent suggestions and was super awesome as I flip-​flopped back and forth between getting dessert or not. (I went with dessert.)
Overall a very awesome experience. Will definitely return!

Amazing people, amazing service, and amazing food! I love this place and all their sandwiches are to die for! Try the «Son of a» it is my absolute favorite.

Greatest breakfast burger! It’s a must have. Served with salsa, it hits the spot. I have brought a handful of friends to try this burger and they have all fallen in love with it, just as I have.

Sandwich Bowl is my choice for the best sandwiches in Lawrence. The County Fair, their take on the Reuben, and the Pig are three of my favorites.
However, despite the name «Sandwich Bowl,» and the presence of bread bowls on their menu, they are phasing out soups. Which is a mistake. The staff also doesn’t quite know how to position this to customers. Case in point, tonight: «Sorry, our soups are a seasonal item.» Us: «LOOK OUTSIDE ITS NOVEMBER»

Really good food and a ton of options, plus a nice atmosphere. However, the prices are, in my opinion, really high.

Waled in right before closing, very welcoming atmosphere. I had the Reuben with a side of fruit. The sandwich was great however the fruit was a little ripe especially the water mellon. Next time I’ll get the chips.
I recommend this place for a quick bite. I will definitely visit the Sandwich Bowl again.

This place is awesome! Came with my boyfriend and we ordered the 6^th Street Sandwich and the Big Dipper. Both were amazing. I love that they buy their ingredients locally and while the food takes time to cook, it’s so worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a filling, fresh, and delicious lunch/​dinner.

They go out of their way to make sure you have a forking awesome experience — they even made a special sandwich (Bacon, Cheddar, & Avocado on grilled bread) just for me and named it The Annie B!

Found the food to be ok, but for the price was hoping for better. Husband ordered their pig slop soup. Was salty! Staff came over to check on us and asked him how he liked it. Hubs responded, «Meh.» Staff replied by saying OH… but no offer to get something else, nor did she ask what specifically didn’t Wow him about the soup. OK service. OK food. But for soup and a sandwich for lunch, too spendy to the quality.

Tasty sandwiches and daily specials. My wife and I stopped in on a recent trip to Lawrence. We enjoyed the gyro specials. They make your meal to order, so don’t expect chain fast-​food speed, but the service was friendly and the food was delicious. I’d eat there again. Nothing spectacular, but good food.

A new lunch place just down the street from my office? Excellent! After months of «Coming Soon» signs, it was nice to finally see this place open. I was a few weeks late on account of all my travel, but I finally made it here for lunch. My order was a half cold sandwich + soup + fountain drink combo for over $ 8. Yikes… that is expensive. However, I had to try it and figured it must be really, really good for that price.
My cold sandwich and soup came out quickly, and it appeared the hot stuff came out soon enough. The restaurant was probably only ¼ to ¹⁄₃ full so that may slow down with crowd as the previous poster mentioned.
The sandwich itself was an Italian sandwich with your typical Italian meats plus dressing, along with lettuce, tomato and onion. There were multiple bread choices, but I decided just to stick with the white bread, which I don’t often do. The bread was soft and tasty. The meats were good in quantity, as well as in flavor. It was a basic but solid sandwich.
«Cheese Medley» soup was actually Broccoli Cheddar. Preferred by me, but not quite what I expected or ordered… or paid for, for that matter. Luckily, I love broccoli, but some people don’t. The other option on this day was French Onion. I will say that I saw the French Onion and it didn’t look all that great. And in fact, I saw probably two bowls sitting out that were less than half eaten, so that could be the case.
Service is friendly but not energetic. It’s like they are going through the motions. The place itself is clean, well laid out, and the decoration is interesting — license plates, random signs. etc. I kind of like it.
All in all, it was a fine meal. However, for over $ 9 after tax, I would expect more. I have a feeling my visits here won’t be terribly often, I am sorry to say. But if you go, make sure to request your free pickle! The best thing about free is that it’s free.

New to the lunch scene in Lawrence and close to my office, so hubby and I gave it a shot. Food was great. I got the County Fair and there was plenty of meat, the bread was nice and toasty and the cheese was melty. Hubby got the Hatchery and chicken florentine soup, he said both were really good.
The only downsides were 1) the pattern on the tables! Oh my gosh, it’s this dizzying circular pattern that made me sick every time I looked down at it! I ended up laying a few menus down and setting my plate on top of it because I was getting so dizzy! 2) length of time it took for our food, about 20 minutes and the restaurant was only half full.
We’ll definitely give it another shot because the food was tasty and close to my office, just hoping they will speed up a bit!
