Located off the Springfield interchange of Old Keene Mill Road, Sandwich Republic is located in an up and coming area.
New restaurant chains have also begun to surround the area in an effort to renew the shopping center nearby.
Upon entering the parking lot, we noticed that the location was also being used by two or three more restaurants and so in trying to find the entrance, we went through the back of the restuarant.
Visibly devoid of customers except for one almost finishing, the process of ordering was extremely quick.
Sandwich Republic reminded us of a version of Potbelly and so it was easy enough to follow the process of ordering.
Their menu has been divided into five sections: Artisan Ciabatta sandwiches, Signature sandwiches, the New Vegetarian, Specialty sandwiches and Satisfying Salads. The five sections have different themes and are made specifically to match the taste buds of the customer ordering.
Each section offers a fresh selection of cheeses, vegetables and choice of meat or subsitute.
We chose the turkey breast, bacon and Vermont sharp American cheese. Some of the toppings that came in addition were lettuce, pickles, onions and mayonnaise. The man preparing our food was pleasant and was quick on asking all the right questions while preparing the sandwiches.
The sandwiches, which are all baked on ciabatta bread, come in hot or cold options.
The structure an architecture of the place has the look of a modern subway shop. Along the walls, there are glass jars filled with plastic vegetables and the lighting is made to have the location bright an area.
With warm red and yellow tones, the atmosphere is perfect for a day out with friends and family.
Another part of the decor and furniture comes with a couple of seat and tables with a long over the counter area.
The counter offers several stools to sit on and in doing so watch as they prepare your meal.
The toppings that are offered are lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, onions, pickles, hot peppers, oil and vinegar.
The sandwich was surprisingly large in portion and, and with a side of a chocolate chip cookie, was worth the price.
Sandwich Republic also has a catering menu and creates delicious platters for both the vegetarian or the carnivorous customer.
From the easy access to the location to the fresh and new variety of options, Sandwich Republic is sure to get good reviews and a variety of customers in the mood for a delicious and healthy alternative sandwich.
