Planet Sub Downtown STL — Restaurant in St. Louis

Is there such thing as a bad sandwich shop? Certainly not. However, there is most definitely such thing as a quality sandwich shop.

I went to Planet Sub expecting a decent sub and a satisfied appetite. When I got there, the general atmosphere felt like home.

You know when you find a small town diner where everybody’s friends’ dads go to on a Sunday morning to read the paper with a fresh cup of joe? It’s like that, but all ages welcome.

When you find a seat, you’re free to explore the wonders of life, or perhaps even the planet. Whatever your thoughts, you’re free to ponder them in a homely environment conducive to all the answers of the world.

However, there comes a time when opportunity awaits. In this case, that opportunity is the sandwich of a lifetime.

This experience was a first for me. As mentioned, my expectations were nothing special, but the outcome was a home run from the stadium down the street, fireworks and all.

I was encouraged to try ‘The Experience’ and of course I wanted it in full (not half). When my sandwich was handed over to me, my experience of the world was forever changed.

As the chicken lay upon my tastebuds, I had to ask myself, “Have I recently ingested hallucinogenics, or is this just heaven?”

This, my friends, is where the name ‘Planet Sub’ comes from. From the moment the spice of the chicken broke through the seal of my sacred body, the world around me was transformed.

Like traveling through space at warp speed, the walls around me became extravagant flashes of light delivering me to the furthest depths of the universe and, all around me, planets made of the most eloquent sub sandwiches surrounded me as far as the eye can see.

Now, in this hour of satisfaction and a full stomach, I ask myself, “Was it worth it?”

Why...

I so love Planet Sub! one of the best sandwich shops around. Today was a disappointment. I had The Chicken Cesar salad made into a wrap. The filling is so good but unfortunately it was wrapped in an old tortilla wrap. Tortilla wraps are soft and not flakey and dry. if it is flakey then you know that it is old and it would be a good Idea NOT to use it. Not Cool. So I decided to eat it as a salad but the lettuces was brown. REALLY?? Ruined my entire lunch.

I often do not have time to run out for lunch and had been wanting a good wrap so I thought about Planet Sub. I had a break so I went to get that wrap I had been craving. Total disappointed. Lunch in the trash. I worked in food services for 15 years before my degree and I never served ANYTHING I would not eat or that was not fresh. You never know who you are serving. Some people may not know the differences when it come to tortilla wraps , but I do. When I took it out of the foil, the whole thing fell apart because the wrap was so dry and flakey. $$$ down the drain. The next time I come ( because I will not throw the baby out with the bath water) I will request fresh...

Unfortunately, I just had a terrible experience at this location. I ordered through DoorDash and my sandwich came to very unappealing and absolutely incorrect. I ordered the half veggie. I received a sandwich that ONLY had brown romaine lettuce, banana peppers and chipotle sauce. That was all that was on the sandwich. No cheese, none of the other veggies that are supposed to come on the sandwich. What's worse is when I called and asked for the manager, a gentleman got on the phone and would not listen to a word I was attempting to say. He started talking over me immediately and then got angry when I became frustrated that he was talking over me. I asked for the owner, and he said he was the owner. He called me names then told me, "You know what, call DoorDash and tell them to give you a refund!" then hung up on me. They would not answer the phone again when I called back because I had hoped to get his name. Please do not eat at this establishment. I am so frustrated and can't believe...
