Great Eats Sandwich Company

LOVE this place. They close early, aren’t open weekends, and get super busy, but it’s worth it. Their breakfast is awesome and some lunch sandwiches I’ve had were amazing. Great prices, great staff. You can’t go wrong here.
Definitely get bacon, egg, and cheese on Cuban bread. Definitely get home fries. And definitely get the chicken pesto panini (pretty sure that’s what it was).

It might be a small place but the lunch combo — salads & Cuban is awesome!

First things first… I’m not the type of person that nit picks tiny little mistakes or sub par service when I go out to eat. However, my experience today with this business was completely unacceptable. I grew up working in the food service industry for fifteen years & I have been in numerous customer service related jobs for over 30 years so I DO expect to NOT be treated like I was treated today.
I just recently moved back to the Tampa area and based off many previous experiences in 2011, all mostly positive, I was looking forward to returning to this place to try some of the menu items I had never tried before. I even had several coworkers that were going to order lunch with me as well. I called them around 10:30 to place the order for a 12:00 delivery and I was told that they already had «a» delivery for 12 and that I could get our food delivered at 11:30 or 1. So I asked where they were delivering to at 12 thinking maybe they could include our order with the other delivery they had. At which point they asked where I wanted the delivery to go to and was told they don’t deliver to my office, which is 2.3 miles away according to Google maps. Soooo, I told them I would call back to place a carryout order.
When I called back around 11:35, I asked that I could have the order ready for 12 and the person very rudely said, «well, I don’t know if it will be ready by 12». WFT!!! Whatever. Still, I told them fine, if it takes a little longer, I am ok with that. I asked the person why they didn’t deliver to my office when, in the past, they delivered there ALL the time. I was told that they had had «problems» with delivering to where I worked. Again, whatever. So I started giving the order…1^st order: a caprese panini (which has buffalo mozzarella) & deviled crab…2^nd order, a 12″ cubano with buffalo mozzarella INSTEAD of swiss, and the guy said, «ooohhh, that’s going to be about TEN dollars extra»!!! WHAT THE @?&#! $ I asked why and the response was that «it’s really expensive». At that point I was fed up with the crappy attitude, the refusal to deliver to a very SAFE, REPUTABLE, corporate office building, and the inability to be flexible for your customers. I told them to cancel the order and hung up steaming mad.
Now…my most immediate thought was how the hell do they sell a caprese panini for $ 5.59 if buffalo mozzarella is soooooooo expensive? My next thought was how does a place stay in business with such crappy service? Some suggestions to the owner… if you can’t make a sandwich in 10, MAYBE 15 – 20 minutes when you’re in the weeds, then I have no clue how you stay in business. Hire more people and get a bigger place. I will never attempt to patronize your business again. I hope you can take this feedback to improve your total lack of descent customer service and ability to provide food in a timely manner. Trust me when I say that I know good food is not fast food, but I have been to plenty of GREAT places that pump incredible food out of their kitchen in a respectable amount of time. And, based on other reviews, my experience today is not exactly a one off situation with your business.

Tried to order for delivery, was told cutoff for delivery is 2:00pm… well it’s 1:45… was told that doesn’t matter, you need to call at least an hour early, so before 1pm for delivery… oh well, their loss.

We order from here at least twice a week. The food is always fresh. I love that they have daily soups. Sometimes we have to order super early because they are always so busy. But you know what they say, «it’s better to be busy with a small location than slow at a big location». They are definitely doing something right!

Great Eats is a hidden gem! It is off a small street called Benjamin Rd and is located in the middle of an industrial district with many businesses close by. I work in a call center and we order from Great Eats, on average, about twice a week. They have a great menu with so many options to choose from. If its not on the menu, just ask and most likely they are able to make it happen. They are only open until about 2pm so they usually serve breakfast and lunch. The portions are generous and the food is great! I have yet to get something that I didn’t like. Some favorites of mine include the Omelets, Pancakes, monster panini, the southwest wrap and sweet potato fries. The food is insanely cheap for the quality and amount you receive! Today I got a mushroom omelet with cheese, home fries, and wheat toast… get this… only $ 4.91 and its huge!
They do deliver free for orders over 7 $ and are usually very quick. On a couple occasions there were some items forgotten, but they were great about it and quick to solve with a refund or a driver running it back out.
We usually cater work events with Great Eats and will continue to in the future because they are awesome! Check them Out!

This place is awesome, I order breakfast all time and they deliver to my job. Everything I’ve tasted has a great taste and isn’t expensive. The only thing is I wish they were open on weekend and passed 2 pm. I would eat there all the time.

Had the pork bahn mi and a small soda for 6.80. One of the best bahn mi’s ive had. Quick and friendly lunch service.
I travel here on business every week and have found a new regular spot. The menu is very diverse with a bunch of salads, sanwiches, wraps and burgers. They do breakfast too!
I came at 1pm and no wait on a wednesday. It filled up quick after that. Big portions too.

Food is awesome and prices are great. I gave it 4 stars because I usually have to wait for my pick up order even if I call an hour ahead.

Love this place! Very cheap and always good food! They also give very large options and deliver!!! They are very busy and with good reason! It is worth the extra 5 minute wait!

It’s a busy place. People have got to understand that it’s a small shop within walking distance of office buildings. Everyone is calling in orders at the same time. Be patient, your food will be delicious!
It’s a great place where you get the most bang for your buck. The most expensive item is $ 7.95. That’s as good as it gets. The menu is extensive and affordable. The salads are delicious and the viet banh mi is bomb. If you don’t see something on the menu that you like, but would if it was tweaked a bit, just let them know and they’ll do it for you. These people have had combined 20+ years in restaurant experience.
Also, they pack on the ingredients. If you get a Cuban sandwich, it’s packed and pressed to perfection. The combo is also a pretty good deal if you wanted a 6 inch, chips and drink for 7 bucks. *TAKE MY MONEY*
They make their egg rolls at home and fry them at the restaurant. Their food is made-​to-​order. The extra 5 minutes you have to wait during their lunch time rush hour is due to them making everything perfectly for you-​so chill out.
As for the reviewer who complained about rotten avocados, avocados lose their lush green color after minutes of being cut because the enzymes are exposed to the air. She probably doesn’t eat avocados regularly.

Thanks for the Cobb salad with rotten avocado!!! Totally makes my day when I spend (i.e waste) money on rotten food, especially on a salad that is supposed to be fresh. This is the 2^nd time this nasty place has failed me. I gave them another shot because my coworkers enjoy this place for some ungodly reason. Won’t be returning!

Small and busy sandwich shop that offers a wide variety of sandwiches as well as breakfast. I had the Viet «bahn mi» sandwich and egg roll. It was really good, but not good enough to wait 25 mins for a 1 sandwich to-​go order. I would like to go back if I had that much time during lunch.
Service was OK; atmostphere is small and smelly deli like. Not a nice place to sit inside unless you want to smell like a fryer the rest of the day.

First experience and probably the last with this merchant… we ordered food for delivery at a nearby office building, they came highly recommended for their food (which may be great i never got a chance to taste it) apparently their customer service and ability to deliver is where they lack. The food was told for delivery by 12pm… since I have an hour lunch from 12−1p that works out fine… NOTHING WAS DELIVERED during my lunch hour… instead of the 12p arrival it came at 1:16p and I teach for a living so I cannot eat during class… I called multiple times to the numbers listed on their website Ph: (813) 885−6424÷545−6870, the first number rang busy 3x I never got an answer… the second number should be removed because its some lady (employee) personal cell phone and she’ll apparetly be rude and not care about your situation if shes not working that day, I assume this because even after hearing me explain my particular situation all she kept stating was «I cant answer your question because Im not at work today» really useless lady? So you care not for your PAYING customers or lack of attention to them? Great, thanks for letting me know… When the food arrived at 1:16p I did eat it so I will not pursue a refund, even though it was ICE COLD and extremely late… for the record the sandwich, had it of been warm and ontime, would’ve met my expectations of a proper Philly… lesson learned at least it wasnt an expensive one. In conclusion; Hungry at work is no fun so only order from them if you have 2+ hours to kill doing nothing but waiting.

Favorite family owned lunch spot. When you know its busy, it means thats the place to go for good food. I’ll be returning for the Philly your way and sweet potato fries!

It’s a small place but their food are awesome! Try their salmon salad or the blackened salmon sandwich, it’s yummmio! The people here are awesome and the owner and mr. Huey make the best Vietnamese coffee! On top of that it’s convenient since it’s right by my house

Pure deliciousness! I can eat at this place at least once a week (don’t eat out much, so this says a lot !). Run by the owner and his daugher, the food is fresh, fast and fantastic. My all time favorite is the Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich — for those who know about the Banh Mi — this is the place to get a very good one. I’ve had their fresh grilled salmon salad, grilled chicken salad and have never been disappointed. Will definitely continue to go there!

A tiny little place that only sells plain bagels. No flavors. We did not eat there. We were looking for a place to buy 12 bagels at a time and take them home.
