Old Town Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Alexandria

Visiting Alexandria as I had not been there in many years. Of course I went to Old Town. While there I checked on line for places to get local food to support the locals given one of my good friends( Rest In Peace ) from college grew up there. Old Town Sandwich Shop came up. Very unfriendly person made our sandwiches. Very little meat on a turkey sub. One slice of tomato some lettuce and onion. A half slice of very thin Swiss cheese. Could barely see the cheese through the scarce bit of meat. Maybe they only take care of local people and take advantage of visitors. Sad but really you should put your best foot forward at all times. Come visit our town and we will show you how to make a Real sandwich that will make you want to come back. Spent 17 dollars for two sandwiches to go at this place for mostly a roll with mayo, a few slices of low quality turkey and missing cheese. So sad. Next time we will go to a Chain like Subway and not try to support the...

This, unfortunately, is most likely not the small mom and pop, hidden jewel of Alexandria, sandwich shop you are looking for. While certainly not bad by any means, this is your average (non-chain) sandwich shop. Be prepared to spend $6-7 on a club or 9-inch sub, and that's just for the sandwich, no sides. They have a fair share of plain sandwich options including gyros & hamburgers. But none of the orders include chips and soda type combos.

The one positive ill give it, and what I was looking for when trying this shop, was that unlike a subway or potbellies. The sandwiches don't feel/taste generic. There is a deli feel to them, in the way they are assembled and presented.

If you are looking for a change of pace definitely give old town a chance, just don't expect it to be your jem...

This is by far the best breakfast affordable place to visit. These two ladies that work there from Guatemala Are amazing. Their level of customer service is beyond exceptional And I am big on customer service. They give you motivational feedback.

I ordered an egg and cheese scrambled on a croissant. Let me explain to you how good the sandwiches, it’s light and buttery it’s fluffy, The croissant is fresh. The egg is not salty. Overall, this will be my only place to visit for breakfast in the Alexandria Virginia area. It is actually the only breakfast place that I will visit anywhere, if I am in the DMV.

Thank you for...
