"The best sandwich place in Des Moines. The bread alone is worthy of a visit to this place and add to that some fresh ingredients and awesome service and you have a perfect sandwich place. Their potato salad is also super unique and I loved it."

"I have been going to South Union since it was by the YWCA (when we would eat bread scraps by the bag full). Favorite spot, always bring people here who are visiting, make a point to have lunch every time I'm down town. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BREAD?! The last couple of times I've been I've assumed it was an off day or there was an issue with the bake, but it seems that the beautiful, pillowy, soft garlic focaccia is now flat, dry and minimally garlicky. I know the bread still exists (I just go get it at Gateway now), but I can't believe that they switched the recipe or whatever they did. The meat/cheese is still great quality, but the bread is a total miss and makes it hard to consider it as a lunch option any more. Just be warned this is not the South Union so many of us knew and loved :("

"I have always liked their salad bar and sandwiches since over 10 years nowbbut my recent customer service experience was bad :( I ordered a sandwich and a customer rep asked me if I would like any bread , I said "sure". After I paid and took my receipt.. the rep still did not give me any bread so I asked for bread. He kept looking through bread packets that contains just 1 piece and got a smallest piece saying its free anyway. I didn't buy a $11 sandwich for that free bread. Please educate your employees on how to talk with people who's giving business."

"Simply the Best Sandwiches in Des Moines. Highly recommend. Everything on the menu is good. Just completed a nice remodel, more open than it used to be."

"Some of the best bread in town. The sandwiches are superb. I recommend the Hot Italian."
