our family gets Picklemans a lot, it's close to our house being the main reason but I like it pretty good.

Is that a Nebraska chain, I've never heard of it?

it's not very big but they are in MO, KS, NE, OK, and are putting one in Urbandale, IA according to their location map

There are a fair amount of them here in Central Iowa and I don't know how they stay open. Everytime I'm in one I've been the only customer, I've literally never saw anyone else in them.

I love Firehouse because they'll default give you mayo + oil + vinegar all on the same damn sandwich and it's a big, sloppy, yummy mess.

Basically, I like them all. Even Subway.

Firehouse is also severely overpriced.

Wacky, being a good Midwesterner I'm surprised you didn't include McCallister's.
Oh yeah!

Crush a Gargantuan from Potbelly’s once a week. Also, BOGO today for their 45(!) year of making the best subs around.

True story about the Manhattan Goodcents. I may have mentioned this at some point. Anywho, Mrs SF would eat there like 5 times a week minimum. The dude working there absolutely loved her, like to the point of creepy and never charged her. I would go in with her every once in a while and he would charge me at first then he just started giving me free sandwiches too. Even if I went in there by myself he would never charge me.

If you post here Goodcents guy, I'm sorry you never got to bang Mrs SF (that I know of), but thank you for all the free sandwiches.

Oh buddy, those sandwiches weren't "free." But you're welcome.

someone told me they were originally from Columbia MO but i do not have the energy to look it up. canco they rule. similar to potbelly style if i had to compare. their pizza is not bad also! kind of a spicy red sauce and you can eat a whole one easily, no shame thread

PepperJax.

PepperJax is delicious a.f.
Aggieville's PepperJax didn't make it. I liked it but I always had to ask for light seasoning or it was salty AF. I get Pickleman's whenever I find myself on Mass St in Lawrence at closing time.

My daughter loves Which Wich. Their fries and shakes are great, their subs are not. Since Potbelly also has amazing shakes and great sandwiches, I only go to WW when she wants to go. WW does have the best rewards program of any restaurant I've seen.

I've got a soft spot in my heart for Subway's Italian Herbs and Cheese but I am with you on JJ's being trash.

Yello Sub is so good. Also, the worst service imaginable. But, they serve beer, so all is forgiven.

This is exactly how I am with haircuts. I literally do not want you to talk to me unless you need me to move my head.

Lol, I saw my last haircutter had a notecard for me with style/preferences and whatnot. Under everything was "likes the quiet".
