Local Portrait: Quiznos

Most of us remember the old Quiznos commercial with the "rats."  (If you don't you can see what we mean here) But what really goes on at Quiznos?  We got an inside look at our very own Quiznos here in Woodstock.

When asked what makes them different from fast food chains the response made us laugh.  "Well, we actually eat here after working all day so you know the food is good."  So naturally we had to ask, "what's your favorite sandwich?"  Everyone had their own and most of them were their own creations or a twist on those on the menu.

What are the most popular sandwiches you guys sell?

A.  Classic Italian, turkey ranch and swiss, baja chicken, mesquite chicken, we really sell a lot of everything.

What sets you guys apart from other food chains?

A.  We care about our customers and we want to make sure everything is right.  We're a small business even if we are a franchise.  We aren't huge so we know where our priorities need to be.  We're also a family here we all care about each other.

What do you guys do in the back room?

A.  We keep extra supplies back there we have our cooler and freezer we brew tea back there keep extra paper products and things like that.  We do our dishes back there as well.  

We heard you do really well on your health inspections.

A.  Yeah, you know it's  a good sign when the health department orders delivery from you!  But, we eat here too so why wouldn't we keep it clean?  Anything we do to your sandwich we do to ours so we want it to be clean and right for everyone.

So, you guys do pasta now what's that like?

A.  It's been selling well.  It tastes really good.  It's enough for a meal or you can eat a small sandwich with it or soup even.  We all got to try them the first day they came out.  We were impressed.

So what services do you offer?

A.  We do dine in, pick up, delivery for lunch 11a-2p and we do some great sub and salad catering trays.

How much notice do you guys need for something like catering?
A.  The more time you give us the better but for a small to medium sized order an hour or so before hand will usually do.  If it's a large order if you call the day before that's even better.

How can people get a hold of you to place these orders or find out more info?

A.  They can always call us at (815)206-0843, they can stop in or, they can place orders from www.quiznos.com.  You can also find us on Facebook to check out our coupons and deals.

We checked out the spicy BBQ pulled pork while we were there and we can definitely agree that it was really good!
