Freddie’s Sandwiches No. 2

Thanks, Michael C. for this discovery. I usually take a very quick lunch if I go or the gym but that day was different. I was anticipating on my paycheck w/​the new pay raise. That day came and I was not paid. I had to transfer funds from my savings just to make sure I am covered. When the story came to light, my former boss (still works w/​the company but for a different customer) said that I should be on payroll’s ass until I get paid but in my defense, I sent them 2 emails and I left a message plus I was ready to get out of the office.
He’s the kind of guy that never tries anything new. His usual spot is either: Carl’s Junior or Subway. I know, right? I haven’t had fast food in 2 years and I don’t miss it one bit. We got in the car, he drove, and let me pick where I want to go. Freddie’s it was! When we came, I ran in and got the menu so we can look at it. He wanted the Club and I wanted the Italian Combo. He lit his cigarette so that was a queue that he wasn’t going to come in but little did I know that he didn’t want me paying for his or mine. He gave me more than enough for whatever else I wanted but I stuck to just the sandwich.
After about 10 minutes, our order was ready!
The Italian Combo was delicious; the salami, ham, cheese, lettuce, and bread was at its perfect ratio. I enjoyed my half very much. It’s not as if I couldn’t finish the entire thing by myself but it was because I’m practicing portion control.
Thank you for lunch, Dean. You’ve always been there for me *hearts*

Wow, two years on the job here, and just recently started to discover Gateway Café and now Freddie’s Sandwiches No. 2.
For those on the North of Airport Parkway, you have a variety of options, and for those of us on Metro and willing to walk, here is what we can find:
Star Café — Best Service
Gateway Café — Best Specials
Freddie’s Sandwiches — Best Deli Sandwiches
All three have their advantages, but let’s talk about my trip to Freddie’s. Located off the courtyard, they have signs outside and on the windows to let you know it’s there. And I will say the sign for Gyros was tempting, but I sadly had had a lamb salad from Zeytoun the day before. But with an Italian Combo on the menu, I had to get it.
It was good. It was the best deli sandwich I’ve had in this area. Not just from eating it, but the meat slicer behind the counter tells you they slice all their cold cuts in house. And you can taste the difference. They also slice their lettuce real thin, like it tastes like sprouts thin. The sandwich was great and huge, and I’m glad for the long walk to and fro.
They have decent deli choices: you have your ham, turkeys plural, salami, pastrami, but also mortadella. And I will definitely try their hot sandwiches like the meatball and gyros wrap in a pita. Other things I like — choices of bread, their fresh juices, and it was hard to ignore the smell of their giant cookies.
As always, I will feel guilty not visiting Star Café, but at least for a while I’ll be hitting up these three shops on a weekly basis.
Note
Freddie’s Sandwiches No. 1 is in San Francisco.

I really like the place, the foods tasty, the team amazing, quick to serve, the falafel plate very tasty.
Highly recommended.

Freddie’s is wonderful! Personable staff and vegan options for me! Their falafel sandwiches and plates are marvelous! Their soup is made fresh and + they’re only an elevator ride downstairs :) Convenient and delicious!

I like Freddies! I’ve tried a little bit of everything here:
–breakfast egg sandwich
–club sandwich
–ham & turkey
–gyro wrap
–chicken tortilla/​white bean & beef soup
–napa chicken salad
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve gotten and it’s all fairly resonably priced. Not to mention super convenient– just next door to my office. The workers never look very happy haha that would be my only negative.

My company just moved to Gateway and I tried Freddie’s for lunch today! It’s nice to have a good place so close to the office!
The place itself is small, just a couple tables inside. The staff is very friendly. The menu is pretty decently sized for a small place in addition to daily specials. There is also a good selection of drinks and chips.
I ordered the Club on soft sourdough. I devoured it. The sandwich was very good and I was impressed with the quality of the bread.
I definitely will be back! I must try the Pastrami and the Gyro… and and… the list goes on. Oh and the huge chocolate chip cookies look dangerous!
