Sacks Art of Sandwicherie

They close earlier than posted hours. We showed up and they claimed it was too slow to stay open… but their Open sign was still on and flashing. Best to call in advance to find out if they feel like closing early.

Not some place I can afford to go everyday for lunch, but it is always a nice change of pace. Always a fan of the lemonade with a Mona. The salads are epically huge. I always forget that they deliver, too.

Sacks is a great little sandwich shop located right on ASU’s campus. My friends love coming here and I do enjoy the unique sandwiches, but I always have a hard time justifying paying as much as I do at this place. Great sandwiches (the O’Keefe is a winner) and a fun spot, but I just find it a little too pricey for a sandwich shop.

a little pricey if your eating for two but the sandwiches are pretty good. they serve you a healthy amount.

Just walked out on a $ 20 order, disgusting pigs. Use it to buy some gloves, and a food handlers course.

Sacks is a great place to go if you’re craving sandwiches and you happen to be on/​around ASU’s Tempe campus. It’s a cute little sandwich shop and all of the sandwiches have artist names. The sandwiches are delicious — the bread always seems fresh and they have a great selection of hot and cold sandwiches. Every day they have two special sandwiches and I’ve never been disappointed with my choice. They also had a trivia question for a free drink.
I came here once with a coworker who always ordered the same sandwich and she decided to get out of her comfort zone slash think outside the box with one of the special sandwiches on the whiteboard. The one she chose was the Georgia O’Keeffee (pretty hilarious sandwich to explore/​think outside the box with… get it? do… do you get it?)

A hidden gem on campus! The staff are friendly and know me by name. I have sampled most of their sandwiches and they’re all delicious. And the free cookie coming with the meal is just a nice touch. Love this place.

Yum. I like it! I wish they were open more often. Hello! I like to eat! I had the O’Keefe today and thought it was awesome. I used to like ordering some Thanksgiving type sub, but I didn’t see it on the menu. Do you guys still make it? If so, I’ll be back!

_​Okay let me be super honest, I feel the need to express my most sincere thoughts about this place. If I could give them a ZERO star review I would!
I really liked this place before, the service used to be good, just chill natural treatment, the hidden/​sneaky location, and let’s not forget the vibe and the out of the ordinary sandwiches they offer, yet tasty.
However my recent visit there made me change my mind entirely.
I do not plan on ever visiting this sandwich location again, maybe a different spot with a better care for customer satisfaction, but definitely not this location.
On my visit here, it was about 10:30 a.m., with no traffic, at least not as busy as normal peak hours for breakfast/​lunch.
Yet, they managed to take 15+ minutes to prepare a sandwich. I would like to add that by the looks as when I came into this establishment they had a full kitchen staff, as well as helping staff at the registers. Still they managed to take that long to make my sandwich, and I honestly think that they forgot my order, but they failed to recognize that, I asked the girl at the register, who by the way was insanely rude If she still had my order for, «The Perfect Storm» which was their special hot sandwich for the day, she said yes, but first asked me again for my name, as well as to remind her what I had ordered.
I then figured that she had forgotten my order, and I believe they did because the people behind me and those behind them after my order were getting called for their sandwiches and I was still there waiting.
I don’t understand why they feel like they can take all the time they please to make a sandwich and then not even give a simple apology recognizing their mistake. That apology would have made it much better, word of advice, just show a little more consideration next time please.
I was in no big rush, yet I could be doing better things with my time other than checking back on my sandwich order to make sure they didn’t forget it. Then after all that mess the sandwich was not what I expected it to be, way too much cheese and oil. Sorry not my style nor taste.
The board clearly advertised a Grilled Turkey, Melted Swiss Cheese, Sautéed Mushrooms & Red Bell Pepper, Tomato, Romaine Lettuce, Honey Mustard, and On a Toasted Baguette. Sounds tasty and healthy right, not the case for this baguette.
* TOTAL Dissatisfaction *Terrible service by the girl at the register *Not up to par sandwich
–Good reasons why to never ever come back. — Oh and terrible tea!

If I could give it 4.5, I would.
Great sandwiches, good salads. Quick service and very friendly staff. I eat here at least once a week. I can think of maybe one time that I thought my salad had too much dressing. I’m going to keep going back. Look out because it’s very busy during the lunch hour given that it’s right next to ASU. There may not be anywhere left to sit but you can always take your food to go! The rush hour is 12pm-​1pm. Still, you won’t find yourself waiting more than 5 minutes for your food.
Why not 5 stars? The bathroom. It’s not entirely clean. I usually avoid it. So, 0.5 star deduction for that.

I love sandwiches and Sacks’ are my favorite in the valley!
The Impressionist is a veggie sandwich that is far more interesting than most others around town.
Though not advertised on the menu, most sandwiches can also be purchased as halves, rather than whole.

I am salivating as I think about Sacks — sits on ASU campus — off Mill and the visitor parking lot behind COOR. During the semester it is PACKED for lunch. But they are pretty good about moving through the line. The sandwich options are many, the quality of ingredients is excellent and you get a cookie with every ‘wich.
There’s a Subway across the street, but if you are in the mood for a REAL sandwich with exceptional quality this is your place. I recommend the Veggie — one of the best versions of this I have ever had. (Average sandwich, plus drink and side will run $ 9 – 12)

I am a SANDWICH FANATIC!!!
Sack’s is one of my fav sandwich shops. It was my go to spot for lunch last semester at ASU. These days I can only afford to go on occasion. Great sandwiches just wish they would come down on their prices a bit to make it more pocket friendly.
Nice bonus if you «like» on fb as they offer free drinks from time to time. Oh, and the cookie you get with your sandwich is a nice touch. And there is also the punch card. 10^th sandwich is free!
The impressionist and jazz are my fav sammies. One is a veggie and the other is bacon, turkey and avocado. The crew comes up with some pretty tasty sandwich specials, sometimes they sound crazy, but trust they will be delicioso!
Downside is parking. There’s like 5 spots. Great option for students and ASU staff, not so much for passerbyers (try the Sack’s on Hardy if you need to park).

I’ve come here too many times to count during my time at ASU. Each time I’ve frequented this place, I’ve pretty much inhaled whatever sandwich I got. I like the fact that you can customize your sandwich to order and I really like the fact that you get a little chocolate chip cookie for free with your order! (Their jumbo cookies are pretty darn good too!) Avoid this place during the lunch rush, as the queue can literally snake outside and around the building. Prices may seem on the high side for «just» a sandwich, but the ingredients are fresh and the people behind the counter are generally cool.
Now…to work on using non-​styrofoam cups… let’s make this place even better and greener!

Sacks knows how to make a tasty sandwich and is a great place for lunch. It has a very eclectic, perhaps bizarre, menu that I don’t actually care for myself. However, the trick is that Sacks will create you whatever kind of sandwich you want, so you don’t have to order off of the menu.
Sacks has an interesting system, whereby it uses a little checklist printed on its bags to take your order. When you step up to the counter, you just tell the cashier what you want and it gets checked off the list. Your sandwich is made and placed back in your bag. Sacks uses a flat grill, which ensures that your bread is nicely toasted and cheese is melted.
My top recommendation is that, no matter what sandwich you order, you start with the tomato basil bread. This bread has the best flavor and makes me wish every sandwich I eat was made with it. My personal favorite sandwich to order at Sacks is a pepper-​jack grilled cheese with tomato and bacon on tomato basil bread. Sacks also has a nice selection of iced teas.
There are a few imperfections with Sacks as well. For one, this location is right on the ASU campus and gets extremely busy at times. Often, the line can be found wrapping outside the door and around the corner of the building. Further, even after ordering, there have been a few times where my order took quite some time to be made (~15−20 minutes). For these reasons, I do not recommend going to Sacks when you are on the go and need fast service. I have found that the drinks can run out during the lunch rush and they are slow to be refilled, so if you happen to come at the wrong time, you might not be able to get the tea or lemonade that you like. Lastly, I have noticed that the quality of sandwiches can vary. Sometimes they are cooked better than others and I have found them to use less than fresh vegetables on a few occasions. Hence, you shouldn’t expect a great deal of consistency in your sandwiches from visit to visit.
Overall, Sacks is a place that I recommend for a flavorful lunch sandwich. Creating your own favorite sandwich is welcomed and the best way to be satisfied with your meal. Avoid the lunch rush when you can.

I really, really want to like this place more than I do. They have a cheerful atmosphere, even when it’s packed with the Trixies and Trevors from ASU. The «art» on the walls is *so* bad that it makes for some fun conversation. They even give you a cookie with your order. The sandwiches aren’t bad, but nothing to look forward to. Really, this one’s all about location.
Apparently they have some kind of breakfast, but I’ve never tried it.

So many people have never been to this Sacks. It certainly doesn’t help that there seems to be no parking anywhere near them (there is, its in front of the business!). It also doesn’t help that there are almost 3 acres of parking lot separating it from University and it is almost invisible from Mill. Nonetheless, Sacks makes ridiculously good sandwiches. They have the best ingredients (fresh crisp spinach and sprouts, amazing sauces) and excellent bread.
They also have breakfast, it is wonderful. There «Build your own» breakfast wrap (burrito) is a regular for me.
You can always order one of their sandwiches, choose an interesting special (cold sandwich, hot sandwich, or salad), build your own salad, and answer a trivia question for a free drink!
The staff is fun, especially when they are super hung-​over at 8:30 in the morning! Call them on the hang over, you’ll usually get an invite to a party.
They can be super busy at lunch, they get really efficient then though. The concept is kind of brilliant in its simplicity (like art). No matter what you order, it comes in sack that is the same bag they write your order and name on. They’ll call out your name and leave the bag for you to pick up. You can then eat there or take it wherever you like!
Special Hint: During the summer they are open 7am until 2pm but are almost never busy so its great to go!

So I went here for lunch today for the first time, which is ridiculous because my program is located directly east of this place. I ordered a sandwich… can’t remember the name… it had steak, onion, jalapenos, and a whole lot of lettuce… oh and a yogurt feta sauce. The guy who was working there was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich was good, but I thought they went heavy on the sauce and the shredded lettuce… half the sandwich was lettuce, that was not so good. The meat, however, was tasty and so was the sauce (thanks for the recommendation guy who works behind the counter!). I also got a cute mini chocolate chip cookie!!! Woot. I would definitely come back here again, but I might order something else…

This is a pretty decent sandwich place. I don’t know if it’s someplace I’d go to often, but they seem to have quality ingredients and a few pretty good sandwich choices.
I had a BBQ beef sandwich with havarti on sourdough. The bread was nice and buttery, and the overall flavor was pretty good. The included cookie was an unexpected plus.

Missing star for all those paper bags that go useless into the trash. Can’t they think of less paper and other kind of water cups?
I’ve tried it 3 times, and for me it would be great if they had also multigrain or brown baguettes. Other than that… service is really nice, flavors are fresh and they have good mix of ingredients.
