Schlotzsky's

We love Schlotzsky's.
Especially the South Parkway location.
Sandwiches are always fresh and piping hot.
Our absolute favorite place to eat.

I had an avocado 🥑 peel in my sandwich 🤢 We didn't order all we wanted due to the customer service making us feel rushed as we were bothering him.

This was my first trip to a Schlotzsky's in a long time.
This location is in Southwest Huntsville on Memorial Parkway.
The sign is very visible and there is plenty of parking. The store is neat and clean.
The employees we dealt with on this visit were helpful. There used to be a Reuben sandwich with pumpernickel bread.
It is no longer available and the cashier said it is no longer available. There are a wide variety of sandwiches available.
The bread is sour dough and has a unique flavor.
The bread was fresh with an airy texture.
The flavor is not bad but unlike most sour dough bread I have tasted.
No doubt, the bread is one item that separates the restaurant chain from others like Subway, etc. The menu clearly lists what comes on each sandwich.
I do not care for a lot of toppings on a sandwich.
In this case, I held back on the pickle and onions.
It came with a couple of cheese types.
I thought I had ordered no cheese except for provolone but that was not communicated clearly and I ended up with cheddar and provolone.
It also pays to read the menu clearly as the sandwiches have a number of additions unless ordered otherwise. In any event, it is not a problem to specify the items to add or delete from a sandwich.
In this case, it appeared to be a communication problem. The roast beef was medium rare and appeared to be a good quality.
It was not salty, which is good.
If possible, I would get the sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and provolone cheese to provide more flavor from the beef—a personal preference that may not be widely shared—by eliminating the "special sauce" and the strong cheese. My dining companion had the turkey and avocado.
Again, read the menu closely.
In this sandwich, the turkey is smoked which usually means the meat is more salty as a result.
For those who prefer a less salty meat, it would be wise to order the regular turkey. This location also has Cinnabons.
They looked delicious and no doubt they are but very sweet with a sugary frosting.
There is a separate display of these items near the cashier.
