Johnny McGuire’s Deli

Foods okay. The chips were cooked there and its kinda quiet inside and not busy at all when I came on a Thursday’s at 330 pm. I did a Togo order… and order a salad… and when I finally went to eat my salad… they did not put a fork in there… I was to far to go back… Was upset about that… and the atmosphere was down… the sandwich guy looked mad… and the girl at the register was a little sad… like she didn’t want to be there… this was my experience when I went… Wow it’s been sitting in rough draft for 1 or 2 years… I wonder if it’s still there and if so… Is it the same?

So is Johnny McGuires closed or is it not? I guess I’ll have to cruise by and check it out for myself. I’ve tasted their fine sandwiches but not in house… they sent out a food truck to First Friday this past weekend. Maybe I was in the wrong area, but the amount and quality of food vendors at FF was a little disappointing. Fortunately, my group stumbled upon the Johnny Macquires truck. I was hesistant at first. The menu looked like a solid deli but you never can tell, especially when stuff is being prep’d on a truck.
I waited for my wife and a few others to order so I could get a look and steal a bite. It only took one bite of the 220-​B for me to decide I was in. I went with the Olympian myself and have to say it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in awhile. The price vs. portion ration was fine I thought considering other options were deep friend this or that for the same price around the way. The bread was soft and fresh, cheese gooey, and the corned beer and pastrami was not too fatty. The only bad part about the sandwich is that after eating it I wanted to just curl up into a ball and take a nap. My wife loved her 220-​B and if the non-​mobile location is still open I think we will be paying them a visit very soon.
–Side note — the chips were hit or miss. I didn’t order them but some were crunchy and some were very soggy. Not sure if this was a product of being made on the truck or what. Either way they were fresh and the crunchy ones were good.

Below average food at above average prices. This is the kind of boring sandwiches you can get anywhere. Aside from the urban/​hipster graffiti/​sticker/​license plate covered interior, there isn’t much that’s unique. The steak on the Marley sandwich was like the sliced roast beef you can get at any deli. The BBQ sauce that covered it was too sweet for its own good and the bread was dry and crumbly.
My wife got a sandwich that was equally forgettable. We shared a bag of fries, which were decent, but oily enough to soak through the paper bag.
There are no tables just counter seating along the windows that overlook the movie theater at Town Square. It’s a pretty cool and cozy space. Unfortunately, that’s the best thing going for this sandwich shop.

I used to work at Town Square and loved this sandwich place!
My favorite was the Buddha sandwich.
The quality of the food is always on point and that’s why it gets a 5.

The Mr. and I can engage in an impassioned debate about many things, politics, art, fitness routines, among others. Most of the time, we share the same views about what really matters, food, and Johnny McGuire’s is our unanimous Town Square quick dining go-​to.
I’m super picky with American sandwiches, why, I’ll freely admit to ya any day that I’m a Banh Mi bitch, proud of it. But Johnny McGuire’s gets me. Made-​to-​order sandwiches that boast a generous amount of high-​quality meats and yummy toppings. They don’t cook the meats till you order it, so expect a slightly longer wait time than most sandwich joints, if you want to eat better that is.
220-​B and Naked Evader are among the Mr.‘s favorites. I absolutely depend on the El Buey, grilled steak with avocado, onions, peppers, and jalapenos. It is a perfect combination of the four things I look for but seldom find in non-​Vietnamese sandwiches: hot, sour, salty, and sweet. The Mr. loves their whole pickles, and he always gets one. I always get their homemade chips, also made-​to-​order, a detriment to your waistline, but worth every added inch.
Atmosphere is minimal, but it’s a cute vibe with all the vintage game machines. And honey, once you eat their sandwiches, you won’t have brain capacity to think about that anyways.

This place used to be amazing. I came about once a week for nearly 6 months. Always the freshest ingredients and unique sub choices.
The past 3 times I have came its not as good. Don’t know if the management or employees have changed but its just not up to par. The sandwiches are sloppily made. All 3 times I got brown avocado instead of green. Also they were out of banana peppers or jalapenos everytime. For me this is key to a good sub.
Still a 4 star joint cause of the uniqueness and its gotta just be a matter of time till they get it together again. I say give it a shot if you are in for a casual lunch with unique selection of subs.
****UPDATE**** The owner contacted me directly. Apologized for the poor experience. Then invited me to come back for another meal. All the problems had been remedied and the food was better than ever. Glad they keep on top of everything. Great food, Great Owners.

I don’t know if our neverending search for the ultimate sandwich shop in the valley has finally come to a halt, or just been temporarily postponed… But what I do know is, Johnny Mc’s makes a mean contender.
Hubby first ate here a few weeks ago, and without my input, he didn’t think it would be fair to Unilocal it with just half an opinion (yes we do count both our opinions as one… dorky I know). Anyway, got a couple sammies to go today, and I finally got to see what all the late nighter’s always rave about. LEGIT!
I ordered the Buddah, and Hubby got the 220-​B (however we are going to consider his first trip in this one too, whereupon he met the Olympian face to face). We also got an order of Ranch and Black Pepper chips, one of which was free thanks to Unilocal,yay Unilocal!
The Buddah was sublime! Could have had a bit more Curry Mayo, but the freshness of the ingredients was, in my half of the opinion, unparalelled to most cold subs I’ve had in the Vegas valley. Sprouts and sunflower seeds were an unusual and VERY welcome addition that made this simple turkey and swiss sammie refreshingly superb.

First of all I don’t even like sandwiches… and oddly enough i’ve been here twice… and it’s off the strip… and I live in LA.
I wanted corned beef and i was going to do the create your own sandwich option but then I thought «hey, these guys probably know how to make a better sandwich then me!» So i ordered the Manhattan which was corned beef with thousand island, red cabbage, cole slaw and some other stuff.
It was quite good… and i especially liked the fact that i would never have chosen the ingredients they used yet i ended up really liking it

Big sandwiches, generous amount of meat, fresh veggies, great fries, refillable soda, reasonable prices, absolutely no complaints and will look forward to another visit the next time I’m in Vegas.

Pastrami. Pastrami. Pastrami.
Johnny McGuire’s has only a couple of locations (literally, 2) so I feel über fortunate to live near one. It’s all about the meat. This is how people do sandwiches when they make sandwiches their life!
I only get hot sammies. Something about the way it all melts together when hot and pressed makes me abhor the idea of cold ingredients on that bread. Save it for Subway! As you know by now, I’m a fan of the pastrami. It’s cut to a perfect thickness, piled high, and bursting with hot juice at every bite. Work of art, it is! The Zesty Ranchacado sauce makes the Ranch Hand an excellent choice as well. My man likes the 220-​B and anything else with triple proteins and no veggies. ;)
I would get a pastrami sandwich, another kind of meat sandwich for your friend, and split a bag of their chips as well. You must… have the chips. I’ve compared them to an addictive drug. I ask to add both the BBQ and ranch seasoning in my bag and get Zesty Ranchacado sauce on the side for dipping. That’s right. Mama knows what she’s doing.
I never take this sandwich to go because part of the enjoyment is being perched on a stool at the counter, staring out the window at Town Square, and listening to Johnny’s exquisite indie music selection. It’s a fun afternoon to people watch over sandwiches and chips and then walk across to a movie at Rave.
A noticeable con here is the staff isn’t friendly. I’ve felt «warmly greeted» maybe once in all my visits. But the sandwiches and chips are SO good, I won’t even take away a star. With pastrami like that, no one can bring me down!

FREE IRON WILLY ALL THE WAY!
What am I talking about? I’ll tell you! It’s ONLY THE BEST SANDWICH ON THE MENU!
Ok ok, it’s actually the only sandwich I had on the menu, but I really enjoyed it to death.
There are three sizes of sandwiches, the Skinny (just say no), Regular (ok), and the Fatty (this is recommended, as it’s the best deal and you can always take home half of it).
The Free Iron Willy has turkey, bacon, swiss, avocado, and sprouts. It’s super filling, pretty healthy, and you just keep wanting to eat more.
The fries are also amazing. They’re cut by hand and sitting at the bar, you can see your fries go from potato form, into hot sizzling oil, to a pan where it is seasoned and shaken, to your plate. Yes!
Knocking off a star just because the staff seemed a little out of it. We had to ask for updates for our food (you’d think they’d feel more pressure since we were sitting at the bar). Oh well.

Delicious sandwiches. I’ve been here a few times and got a different sandwich every time (Italian, Bearcat, Trucker, Philly Cheesesteak)…I can’t say a bad thing about any of them. I Love! their homemade potato chips… much better seasoned, BBQ is really good. I was cold enough in the winter to try their soup… it was Cheeseburger Soup! It was really good, feel like it needed tomatoes, besides that, tasted like a cheeseburger.
Always get good service, friendly staff. Love the décor, random stickers and ads, take chalk in the bathroom with you so you can leave the next user a message. Wish the place was a bit bigger, seats go quick sometimes.
I had trouble checking in when I was there, apparently I wasn’t close enough when I was standing at the counter? Oh well, still got my free chips though!

RATING: I would rate this place a 3.5!
WHERE: In Town Square, right next to Blue Martini!
WHY: Sandwiches are for OLYMPIANS (ie. There is a sandwich called the olympian), haha.
WHAT: So with all the times I have been to Town Square, my family and I decided we were hungry right after we got out of a movie! We debated as to where we would eat and try out, and one of my cousins recommended this place! I’m glad he did, because I this would make it my first time, and I love trying new places! =D
I had the Naked Evader sandwich! This sandwich included grilled pastrami, swiss cheese, and veggies! It is usually made with mustard, but instead of mustard I wanted to sub it for mayo. So, the downside to this story was I didn’t get my order to my liking! BOO! The worker who was taking my order also didn’t ask me what size sandwich I wanted! The service was a little closer toward the negative sign.
Overall, this place was just goo– not great. It was roughly about $ 10 for a sandwich, a little pricier than normal. The sandwiches weren’t as meaty as I would have expected either.
*NOTE: If you do decide that you love the place, if you purchase any of their apparel (shirts are $ 15, beanies are $ 12) and wear it, you get 25% off your entire order!

I didn’t realize there was a convenient sandwich shop in the middle of Town Square besides from Yardhouse, Cadillac Ranch, and Lolita’s you could go to without having to dress up and sit down at something fancy. I didn’t know this place existed until my friends dragged me up there before a movie (the entrance is obscured from being in the front as it is located behind the elevators, thus well hidden!)
Tried the Ranch Hand sandwich, which might I add wasn’t entirely bad considering the sauces they put on them for flavor (ranchacado sauce is a really nice blend!) Keep in mind their portions are HUGE! I ordered the 6 inch (you have your pick between 6, 8, and 12), and I still felt like the 6 inch was filling enough; I had to split with one of my friends, but then again that’s probably just me with portion sizes. ;) The grilled turkey wasn’t overly dry, and the cheddar had that nice sharp taste to it. They are also well renowned for their gigantic pickles, which was the first reason my friend dragged me there in the first place.
Prep time didn’t take long at all, and the place was virtually empty the night we went in. Johnny’s overlooks the movie theater and the courtyard in between all the major bar and restaurants, so its a good place to keep perched to people watch and spy on your friends. Might I add they also have classic video games such as pac-​man, frogger, and donkey kong in there as well?

This place deserves a «KEWL» rating. I don’t know that I’m a «fan» as I’m not sure I’ll go out of my way to drive to TS for a sandwich… but if I’m down there and want a sandwich I’ll go back.
It definitely rates 3.5 stars in my book. Definitely Better than Subway … But I’m not sure I like it better than Capriotti’s.
Love the names of the sandwiches… original and kitch-​y.
Lots of options and you can build your own which I just didn’t have the brain power for as I was taken with all the cool names and options as it was. (And I didn’t think standing there for 20 minutes while I figured out what I wanted on my sandwich was a good idea when there were already a bunch to choose from.)
Anyways…I ordered the Johnny and the T-​Bone to go… in about 10 minutes I was on my way. Oh… and I got a Pickle. ($ 17 for 2 sandwiches and a pickle… kinda pricey for a sandwich shop, I think.)
The sandwiches were good. The bread was fresh and light… not heavy like some sandwich places. The «insides» were good but maybe it was my selections… I wasn’t «totally in love with it». The cream cheese on the Johnny seemed like a good idea… but it just didn’t seem to add the right flavor … and they slathered it on rather thick (for me anyways). The bacon seemed «stale» and the lettuce was dry. I did like that it had sprouts… not many places offer this option and I love it as sprouts are crunchy and IMO super healthy.
The pickle was $ 2 and it was really good. Crunchy and not overly vinegar-​y or salty. It was big enough to share.
The place is small so I imagine it can get packed and stacked pretty fast in there. Thankfully it wasn’t super busy when I walked in at 12:25pm… Service was good, can’t complain but then it wasn’t anything special either.
I do think to give this place a better review I need to go back again and try their hot sandwiches.

I missed out on having any of their sandwiches at the Unilocal Helps event. Actually, I had never heard of them. I saw the name at Unilocal Helps and I’ve seen the sandwich shop before, but I never connected the two. Anyway, I was meeting my cousins at Town Square to hang out and maybe catch the game and I suddenly got hungry.
Their menu looks overwhelming, but as soon as I saw the fried egg burger, that was my choice without hesitation. From the Royal at Red Robin to the Tamago at Fukuburger, I pretty much love egg on any burger. The burger did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked all around and with that gooey eggy goodness that makes things messy. It’s that blurry line between annoying and satisfying.
I went with the combo. The fries were pretty good but nothing amazing. Overall, I’d eat here again. The prices are decent considering the alternatives in the area.

If I had my own annual Vegas awards «Best restaurant to eat solo» would definitely be a category and this place would certainly be a nominee. This is the best place to eat solo in Town Square for sure.
I like the fact that all the chairs face the window so you don’t have to make eye contact with anyone else in the place and there’s ample reading material to easily ignore everyone there. I usually go with the Las Vegas Weekly.
The food is decent enough. The regular size sandwiches are more than enough for one person although none of them are really on the healthy side. I know some people that love eating here at 4:20 for some reason…

I eat here often. I love Town Square and Johnny McGuire’s is a great sandwich shop in the heart of the shopping center.
I normally get the Johnny, but this time I wanted to try the Bearcat sandwich… which has Turkey, Bacon, Peppers, Cole Slaw, 1000 Island Dressing, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions. It was very tasty, but also very messy. The dressing and slaw were falling out of the sandwich… but it was good!
Also had a bag of the homemade chips… those are the best when their hot and fresh.
Will I come back? Absolutely!

Randomly ate here yesterday as my wife had a meeting down in Town Square. Ordered an Emma (turkey, bacon, swiss, sprouts, honey mustard) on wheat. Lots of bread, sprouts. Weak portion of turkey. Honey mustard was overpoweringly sweet. Johnny McGuire’s is banking on the Blue Martini and Cadillac Ranch crowd. «I’m too drunk to go down this escalator! Ooh let’s get a sandwich baby!»
I’m surprised that the LV location didn’t grill my Emma’s turkey, bacon and swiss together like they usually do at the Aspen location. I wonder if the Nevada health code is tougher than Colorado’s because Johnny McGuire’s in Aspen does a lot of raw steak action on the grill combined with putting whole sandwiches on the grill, then grills turkey, then some more raw steak, then grills bread, and so on, all with the same spatula.
NOT surprised that the guy and girl working behind the counter in LV were both on the rude side. When I didn’t order chips, fries or a drink with my sandwich the guy looked at me like a vending machine that got his Snickers bar stuck. With the tone of «I’ve told you 10 times before, and I won’t tell you again!» he told me to pick up my sandwich on the other side of the counter. Roger that, buttface! Also not surprised that other Unilocalers have been experiencing the same Johnny’s bad attitude.
Having been an Aspen local for 7 years and an unofficial local (summers only) for 4 years before that, I have had my share of the Aspen Johnny McGuire’s experience. Eating at Johnny’s in Aspen is pretty good and safe at breakfast, but because of the same-​spatula phenomenon that happens there, any other meal is a 5 to 1 crapshoot. I can’t count on all of my fingers and toes how many times friends and acquaintances who ate a Johnny’s sandwich complained of a twisting knot in their belly and either threw up or had the runs for the rest of the night. Truth is that all of that random grilling madness makes their sandwich taste great (and greasy) but it takes about 2 or 3 twisting knot episodes to learn to tread lightly (go for breakfast or when it’s not busy for less cross-​contamination).
The staff at Johnny’s in Aspen usually consists of a hard-​working and energetic (usually Hispanic) spatula master and one or two other ‘hater’ 20-​something snowboarder/​skater types (the kind who get mad at you if their girlfriend checks you out). Johnny’s has historically attracted a rude audience — four long-​time 20-​something customers were convicted of multiple armed robberies and grand theft of a Range Rover a few years ago. They ate at Johnny’s almost every day.
Bottom line: The LV location doesn’t taste as good as the Aspen one. Same ingredients, same skimpy meat portions, even the same weird big-​ass cookies. Wondering if the LV staff was trained to prepare for the same punk-​ass clientele that the Aspen location attracts. If so, Johnny has it wrong. The LV location should try to be nice — from what I saw their customers are half LV locals and half tourists. Men and women can actually walk into the Las Vegas Johnny McGuire’s without getting tripped by a skateboard, hit on, or spat on!
Johnny McGuire’s makes Subway look like Capriotti’s.

I was a lil disappointed with this place since I have heard such great reviews about it. Sandwiches were just ok and the french fries were soggy. I felt that the sandwiches could have a lil more meat and flavor. Other than that, it was just a-​ok. Oh and the soda was very flat!
