Frank & Carl’s

I'm a big fan of subs, so I was glad to get the chance to try Frank & Carl's. Service was great: very friendly, personable, and efficient. The space is small and seating is somewhat limited, though all is clean and comfortable. I ordered one of the cold "club" subs, which was fine but ultimately pretty underwhelming (a little dry, despite condiments, bacon not crispy); the hot subs others around me ordered looked more enticing, so I'd like come back and try one of those.

This was a nice surprise. I always thought this was a takeout sandwich shop, but found out today randomly that they serve breakfast, have tables, and have a full bar. People were out enjoying Dublin DORA brunch cocktails and bagel sandwiches, so we stopped to check it out. Enjoyed the egg sammy on a gluten free bagel and the fantastic service with a smile. Would return to check out the bourbon selection.

Okay, it's been a rough start. Covid, workers, it's been hard to get in here. Having finally, successfully, had lunch here (during the rush and after, with company and solo) - let's talk about sandwiches. I try to not order the same sandwich twice - they have variety here, and it's not your basic ham and cheese, but it's not so esoteric where you can't read the ingredients. It's simple elevations to the flavor. I've never tried to remove ingredients or swap anything out, but my date has asked for "no X" and they've easily accommodated. Staff wise - they run lean and mean. I've only seen one person out front, doing cashier, handing out orders, stocking chips, slinging drinks. A guy in the back making the sandwiches. They're fairly fast. Not fast-food fast, but "go wash your hands first" fast, where you can get situated before your sandwich is ready.And - this is a sandwich place. This isn't a diner. It's not upscale. They do sandwiches, and they do them *well.* Long tables, window seating, it can get a little cramped in here, but buddy up and enjoy your meal, it'll be worth it.

I'm really on the fence about my trip to Frank and Carl's for lunch today. It's a fun, busy place, with good bagels and creative sandwiches, but, based on today, might not be a repeat to visit. Pros:The staff were really friendly and worked a super busy line in an efficient and polite manner!Sandwiches are a good size, and the ingredients are very fresh. A little off:There aren't a lot of on menu meatless or pork free options. There is a veggie bagel and a veggie sub, chips, and potato salad, but just about everything else, you have to modify. Normally, I would have scouted the menu in advance, but we made a game day decision to grab lunch and walked in, so I was a bit disappointed. This one is hard, but, while I was there, for nearly the whole time (~ an hour), the place smelled really strongly of cigarette smoke. Not like it was wafting in from outside, but like, smoking in the bathroom strong. I didn't see anyone smoking, but it was coming from somewhere and it was not pleasant. When it's busy, seating is a bit limited. Yes, I deployed a child as a seat saver. No, I am not ashamed. Parking is standard Bridge Park - you might not get a street spot, but there are plenty of garages, and, as of right now, it's still free to park.

I stopped in for Lunch and I had a pretty good sub. I order the "Two Vests and a Flannel" which was:Served Hot pastrami + smoked cheddar - lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, pickle slices and chive cream cheese.I loved the hot pastrami contrasted with the cold veggies, it was exactly what I was seeking. The chive cream cheese was interesting as a twist but I might substitute mayo instead but I would certainly try this sandwich again or comeback to try something else. Casual atmosphere and pretty small place overall and of course Bridgepark is quite nice overall. It's four stars instead of five because the meat was so limited. Look at my pic and you see very limited pastrami and a bunch of lettuce.

Had my vehicle serviced at Acura of Columbus and decided to walk around Bridge park for a place to have lunch at. After making a few rounds I finally decided to stop in at Frank & Carls. After viewing the menu for a bit I couldn't decide which sandwich I wanted even after i went online to get some suggestions. I asked for a recommendation and the gentleman suggested the Ma Fratella, but after a few more minutes of looking over the menu I decided for the HOF which is their roast beef, provolone, lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic-horseradish mayo. Sandwiches are a la carte so everything is additional. Not complaining just advising based on my observation. Sandwich prices ranged from $7-12. which is very good for that location. It's Bridge Park so I was expecting a toll fee or something add to my final bill. J/k don't dM mean messages Im not being fr!!I noticed when my sandwhich came out it read Jeff on it. The Jeff had Roast beef, white cheddar, spring mix, bacon-onion-fig jam, tomato and roasted garlic balsamic vinaigrette, dijon mustard. Little concerned here cuz i saw Fig jam and me no likey sweet on anything that's a sandwhich.. I didn't want to haggle or make an issue so I went ahead and ate it like the food lover I am. Surprisingly the sandwhich was good. Only because I'm not fan of anything sweet in my sandwiches and again this is just my " personal " preference. However, If you do like the sweet then this sandwich is a good choice.Oh I also ordered the Ma Fra pasta salad. It was good combination of pasta and some italian meats and the dressing was flavorful. Again, a little sweet for my taste but it was still good. Frank and Carls is a good place to come to for something easy and fun. They have three long community tables if you wanted to dine in and stools to sit by the window if you wanted to people watch. They also have a decent bar if you wanted to knock back some beers or get some custom drinks. Place was clean, staffers were nice and welcoming and to me that speaks volumes.

Limited menu, but the subs are fantastic. If you're a bourbon fan, you need to pay this place a visit; many hard to find selections, and very fair pricing.

I was excited to finally try out Frank & Carl's but have to say, a very mediocre experience. I placed a pickup order so can't comment on service but the sandwich itself was just very okay. Majority of the sandwich was bread, and unfortunately that bread tasted bland & stale. The sandwich toppings were nothing special either, and quite sparse. I think I got all of 2, very thin slices of turkey and ham each. Overall pretty disappointed honestly.

Solid quick eat. Variety of sandwiches available. They have alcohol and non alcoholic drink options. Consistently good sandwiches. You order at the counter. Indoor seating and bar seats that look out onto longshore. Can be loud depending on what's going on in bridge park.

Great food. Simple and tasty. This is a fast casual place but scores high marks for food - both breakfast and lunch!Definitely a favorite of ours when we travel to Dublin.
