Piggy’s Deli

Very disappointed with this branch of Piggy’s Deli. I work in the area and it is certainly a popular lunch spot so I, regrettably, decided to try it.
The staff there is usually pleasant but unbelievably slow. A forgivable complaint based on the size of the place.
Upon ordering the grilled chicken salad I was ill within 30 min. I foolishly chalked this up to being sick and tried Piggy’s again a few weeks later and ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and again was sick within the hour. Never going back there again!
Would NOT recommend!

Do you like playing Russian Roulette with your bowels? Maybe they remembered to refrigerate the cold cuts today. Maybe they didn’t. Maybe the chicken hasn’t passed it’s expiration date. Maybe it did.
If you want an excuse to miss work, this is the place to go. Much like some people like to deny climate change or the holocaust, this place likes to deny the existence of Salmonella and E. Coli as some form of liberal propaganda.
Best thing that can be said is that they have a hostage customer base that won’t go outside the building on a snowy day.
That, and they haven’t figured out how to ruin coffee just yet.
It’s kind of a rite of passage at our office, and we all have war stories of that one meal that punished us for our hubris, thinking we would be the lucky ones.
Just don’t do it.

When this place is operating efficiently, it isn’t bad. Unfortunately, these moments are really rare. Personally, I’ve had three incidents that were unforgivable:
1. One day a guy in front of me was almost served chicken that was supposed to be discarded. He asked for grilled chicken on his salad — the cashier/​cook overheard and said «we are out of chicken, sorry.» The girl at the counter looked around and found a bowl of grilled chicken breasts and said «here’s some!» Lucky for the customer the cashier/​cook overheard again, looked at the girl and shook his head. She placed the bowl back where it was, in the deli case, and said «sorry, we have no chicken». If the cashier/​cook hadn’t overheard this exchange, the guy in front of me would have been served garbage and he would have become ill.
2. I was served an italian sub with severely discolored meat. It looked like it was old, as thought it was meant to be thrown away, but somebody forgot. Then, when a sandwich had to be assembled by one of the two people that were there — they saw what looked like meat and got down to business. If they took a minute to shine light on it, as I did after recognizing an odd odor coming from the sandwich, they’d see an irridescent glow — like an oil slick on a lake’s surface. Thoroughly disgusting.
3. I was surprised to read that Patrick was ill from a grilled cheese with bacon, because the same thing occurred to me. I was sick for hours and I haven’t been back.
DO NOT EAT HERE. DEMAND BETTER.
