Personally, the everyday sub shop has lost my interest. The popular sandwich franchises have just simply become overrated and boring. But now there is a new option in town, Which Wich, a superior sandwich shop with new and innovative ideas for a delicious sandwich. With its unique ordering system patrons can customize their meals to their own preference. Because you are the creator of your own sandwich. It’s different than any other sub shop; it’s not only delicious, it’s also an entertaining experience.

Catering to young families, the younger generations and businessmen, Which Wich meets expectations of any audiences idea of a perfect sandwich. Its limited menu makes this sub shop simple by selling only subs, cookies, shakes and chips. There is no set menu, so every order can be unique.

To order , Which Wich uses a numbered menu which list the types of subs like turkey or ham, on top of a brown paper bag. The customer then takes a Sharpie and fills out the rest of the brown bag, indicating their options of any bread, cheese and toppings.  There is also a slip to fill out for anything that one would like to add to their order, like a warm cookie or a chocolate shake.
Some may find the ordering system as an inconvenience. Even though one of the shop’s main consumers are meant to be young families, writing down the orders for those ages six and under  may be a hassle. Overall, though, the process was fun, and it’s what many would look forward to when going back. It’s possible to come up with a new sandwich each visit to enjoy.
As for the meal itself, the service was quick, the sandwich was steaming, and it was the perfect size. The turkey sandwich on white bread with two cheeses and my favorite toppings hit the spot.

However, the item I enjoyed the most was the Oreo shake. It was  by far better than shakes at Steak n’ Shake. It was creamy and delicious, the perfect ending to any meal. The only downside was the price; at $8.50 per sandwich, it was a little more than I expected, but not unrealistic.
Price aside, another positive aspect of Which Wich was how its employees, mostly CHS students, related to their customers. The familiar faces made the atmosphere much more comfortable. The walls were decorated with the local schools’ mascots. But don’t go to Which Wich for a quiet lunch because it’s an upbeat place, not exactly comfy and cozy. The store features a lot of seating and a flat screen TV usually tuned to ESPN.

The difference between Which Wich and any other ordinary restaurant is that teens are meant to feel welcomed here. Unlike many other places throughout town that lower their standards of service and treatment just because the customer is a teen. Which Wich has put efforts towards meeting teen demographics. The store uses Facebook advertising, has a Twitter account and promotes itself by catering the women’s soccer team here.

The restaurant is so good that I will probably not only go back to Which Wich, I may even pick up a loyalty customer card so that I can get a free sub after every 10 purchases.
