Old School Sandwich Company — Restaurant in Upper Macungie Township

TLDR: the food isn't great (but not bad per se) and it isn't a cheap food option either, but probably decent if you work nearby and want a warm lunch. I got a sandwich and a large chili; the sandwich (I believe it was "The Pioneer") was alright, but definitely nothing special. The meat was bland, which is as I expected since it was one of the cheapest specialty sandwiches, but the other toppings were much more sparse than expected. The chili could have been good, since it was a reasonable price for the size, but the meat was in meatball-sized chunks that I had to break down with a spoon to be more like a standard chili. And since the meat was so large, it didn't contribute to the flavor of the chili well either, making it taste more like chili with meat added afterwards. Finally, water is not provided free (perhaps upon special request), instead having bottled water and other bottled beverages available for purchase. No complaints about the service, but honestly not much to say about it either. They took my order and gave me the food, nothing special. My guess is that the target clientele are workers in nearby buildings who make good money who want a warm sandwich for lunch. But I wouldn't recommend ever going out of your way to go here, since it's neither...

I work in Trexlertown and was planning on eating out for lunch today. I was in the mood for a deli sandwich & figured I'd try this place out after finding them on Google Maps with a 4.7 star average.

I'm not sure if one was an owner and the other an hourly employee but the two men were nice; although very engaged in their own conversations. I let them know it was my first time and I ended up going with the Mother Clucker along with two sides--Crack Mac (mac and cheese) and the Cole Slaw for a total of about $15.30.

Food didn't take long, I was the only one there at that time. On the way back to work, I ate the mac and cheese and honestly wasn't impressed. It seems that they use a powdered cheese similar to Kraft although with a different pasta shell. After getting to work, I ate half of the sandwich and opened up the coleslaw. The coleslaw was literally freezer burnt with ice crystals in my container. The sandwich made me nauseous--not sure if it's a testament to the chicken quality, but it did taste very similar to the chicken I had at Sheetz last year which gave me food poisoning.

I have no idea how this business is highly rated. If you truly want a sandwich, go over to the Goosey Gander in Southside Bethlehem. Would be worth your time to...

I'm always on the lookout for a nice local place to get a prepared lunch during work, and the Old School Sandwich Company is exactly the place I was looking for. The sandwiches are delicious and I was excited to find that the sides were equally tasty.

While I haven't been very often yet, it appears that there is a regularly rotating special sandwich menu, all of which have looked mouthwatering. As with the sides, which apparently are made however the chef feels that day. I don't know how often recipes repeat, but it is clear that he cares about giving customers something new and interesting, which makes me want to return every day to try...
