Hog Island Hoagie

Worst sandwich I've ever eaten. Or rather, NOT eaten since it went promptly in the trash after two bites. So tiny. Like the size of a Taco Bell bean and cheese burrito. The bread was massively underbaked, thin and stale. Filling was mostly iceberg lettuce and vinegar was the only flavor. Tater tots were too salty to eat. One of the saddest food experiences of my life.

Ok I'll start with the good...for the most part, this was a really tasty sandwich. The meat, cheese and veggies were all fresh and high quality, and the pickles, peppers, and gardiniera were great. If that's where the story ended, this would be a 5-star review. The beginning of the bad is that for a $14 sandwich, there definitely wasn't enough meat (eg 2 slices of salami), and the bread was fairly dry, particularly at the butt ends. They also claim their sandwiches are 9", but as you can see my roll barely hit the 8" mark. If that's where the story ended, this would be a 4-star review. Where my visit really went downhill was watching my cold sandwich be made with bare hands. That's right, no gloves used to handle the meat, lettuce, onions, pickles - anything. The woman working here was very nice, and I didn't have the heart to say anything...but I should have. It should be glaringly obvious, even if we weren't in the midst of a pandemic, that you need to wear gloves when preparing ready-to-eat food in a restaurant. It also happens to be ILLEGAL not to. Not cool, and I definitely can't recommend you eat an establishment that has this attitude towards food safety.

A very tasty vegan sandwich.Vashon Island Veggie. It is a little difficult to pick up in a car but it is difficult to find good vegan options for sandwiches. The pick up time was extremely accurate and easy once I was able to get parked. It reminds me of the cold sandwiches I got at the little pizza joints in Boston.

I ordered sandwiches to go from here when craving sub-type sandwiches. I ordered the Hog Islander, their Italian hoagie. My husband ordered the Windy City Speedboat which was a chicken based sandwich. We enjoyed our sandwiches a lot and would order them again. I did notice that they had a very extensive menu with other food options that sounded really good. I would definitely come back here.

what a letdown :( the highlight was the friendly service. the bar seems chill, and everyone there was very nice, so thanks. dang though, this sandwich was sad. $16 and hardly any meat, and also pretty skimpy amount of veggies. most of the sandwich was a stale-tasting, bland dry loaf of bread -- and horseradish. granted that spicy goodness is why i ordered the one i did -- the 50,000 horsepower -- but whew. it tasted like they crammed it all into one corner of the sandwich, so about a third of the way through, i got a nose full.tots were meh. nothing special, not bad.sadly wouldn't recommend this spot in an area sorely lacking in quick, reliable lunch spots. i guess go with royal grinders instead.

The Italian beef had about 3 pieces of giardinera and no au jus unless it was the little bit soaked into the bread?The commodore was mostly the spiciest tapenade ever. Not sure if any other toppings were in it My chips ordered are expired by 3 months. 2 stars because the sandwiches had potential.

Hog Islander is amazing sandwich. I mean you go in for a sandwich and it's a really good sandwich. I'd like to people to the really good people. They seemed busy at lunchtime, which is a good time. I wish I was closer. I would order from there all the time. It lives up to the hype.

Best Italian sandwhich I have had in Seattle so far! Chef was super nice and we talked about the quality of the ingredients and where get them from.

Overpriced sandwich that looked nothing like the pictures online. We ordered the italian hoagie and the bread was completely different, about half the size of the pictures they had on the website. The bread looked closer to a breadstick than a hoagie roll. All we asked for was no tomato, peppers, and onions and they forgot to put on vinegar, salt, pepper, oil, and oregano. On top of that it was a $17 sandwich that was finished in about 6 bites. If you're an east coaster, especially from the Philly area (like we are) don't make the same mistake we did. That being said, the service was good and our waitress was very friendly. Just a bit pissed off at the false advertising and the quality of the meal we got :(

I I ordered the hog islander via uber eats and when I tell you that it was the best hoagie I've ever eaten I really mean that, and that's after it traveled and was delivered. I can only imagine how good it'll be if I go down there and get it myself. I added mama's peppers to it wich was a good touch and I got a pickle on the side too all of it was good
