Charley’s Grilled Subs

I had never heard of «Charley’s.» I simply logged on looking for a good sandwich shop nearby my current location. Within the distance I wanted to drive, Charley’s had the highest rating. So, I trusted my fellow « Unilocalers» and headed out.
I’ll be honest… I was expecting a hometown, privately-​owned sandwich shop. What I found was a chain-​shop in the middle of a mall food court.
If I were basing this review on what I had «hoped for» it would be much different. If you are foodie-​snob (which, depending on the situation, we all can be at times) you will not like this place at all — there are no «mild, hints of herbs» or anything like that to be pretentious about. But, that’s not fair to Charley’s — they are what they are.
The food was prepared EXACTLY the way I ordered it. It was done so quickly and served very hot! I purchased a «regular size combo» and it was more than enough food for the average person.
Bottom line… If you’re looking for a hot «philly-​like» sandwich, and you’re the type of person who enjoys that type of sandwich, Charley’s is probably a place you will consistently enjoy!

One of our favorites, I love Phillys and its sad to say these are the best in town. Better than the nasty unauthentic local place, make sure to try the cheese/​bacon cheese frys for a tasty change.

Came here for lunch with a friend of mine and he wasn’t over exaggerating about how tasty the sub’s are. I ordered the philly cheese chicken sub meal that came with fries and a drink for only 4.99! Good price, good food. The only thing that bothered me was that they are not to generous on the meat.

I was okay, my buddy kept talking about how awesome there subs were. I had the chicken teriyaki a bit dry. I really couldn’t hear the poor lady yelling out order’s. I’ll give it one more shot just not any time soon. If it’s crowded steady close to the pick-​up area. It’s hard to hear the orders called out…

We stop by here once a week. I get either the chicken California or chicken Philly. Both are great. With simple ingredients like chicken, cheese, grilled onions and bell peppers and lettuce you can’t really go wrong. Haven’t had any bad experiences with this place so far. Sometimes they have someone in front handing out samples so if you haven’t tried it yet, you should. I just love any type of sandwich in general and Charley’s subs makes the cut for me.

Do not eat here. I seriously just found a hair in my fry and the manager didnt even ask if I wanted another meal or my money back, he just assumed i wanted another meal, which I didnt. When I asked for my money back he said well they already made it. I said well there was a hair in there so I just want my money back please. He said well so sorry he already made kt and started helping the next customer. All of the employees but one girl were so rude and disrespectful. I know its just a place in the mall but seriously. They didnt put as much meat as the Fresno location or others and just had an overall bad experience. Will never eat here again.

Hats off to the cook and cashier.
I was waiting for Charley’s to open when I heard a bunch of teenagers chatting and laughing, making me wonder: «What the, are they all cutting school?» However, it looks like they were on a choir trip or something (wearing all black). I shuttled my butt to Charley’s before the swarm overwhelmed the staff.
I ordered a chicken teriyaki sandwich with no cheese. Despite the deluge of orders and severe multitasking involving mulitple orders, the cashier and cook handled everything with happy smiles. If I were at the other side of the counter, I am sure I would’ve felt much more frantic.
Great service!!!
I didn’t get to eat the sandwich, but my husband said it was very good. Even without the cheese!

Subs are great! Only thing I don’t like is you have to pay for refills after your first one.

I Love Charley’s but for some reason it’s not nearly as good as the Fresno location. I love that’s it’s all freshly prepared right in front of you and there’s no secret back kitchen.

Given that this is a chain of restaurants that specializes in Philadephia-​style cheesesteaks and other grilled sandwiches, I generally expect Charley’s to be the same no matter where I go. For some reason, the sandwich I got at this location (a philly steak deluxe) wasn’t up to par. They probably didn’t add the usual amount of meat I get in a regular size. Add to that the disinterested look of the employees while cooking my sandwich, and it felt like an ordeal ordering food there. In fact, they said that they would call my number instead of me just waiting next to the food being cooked (and I was the only one ordering there at the time!)
Then again, the other food choices at the mall aren’t such a joy to choose from and didn’t look appetizing. At least the food is freshly cooked here.
