Which Wich Review (Carlsbad Restaurants)

Pricing:

They boast all over the restaurant that no matter which "wich" you pick it's $5.  But there's a lot of fine print to this.  If you want a slightly bigger sandwich or, say, a drink, you're going to be reasonably spending about $8 per person for lunch.

Distance:

Located in the Forum shopping center in Carlsbad.  5-10 minute drive for Encinitas residents.  Unless you get stuck in El Camino Real traffic.  Then it will take 20-30 minutes.

Thoughts:

I like Which Wich enough to be a repeat customer.  But I go there knowing that it's a slight rip-off.  Yes, the sandwiches are only $5 but so are the sandwiches at every other sub sandwich place.  $5 foot long, anyone?  So you basically are getting a sandwich that is the same price as everywhere else but is a lot smaller.  You do feel full when done.  But one still can't help but go "hmm...."

In their defense, I do feel like the ingredients are a lot more fresh than, say, Subway.  The toasted feature is also nice. In no way do I feel like this is a spin on Quiznos.  Which Wich is definitely its own flavor experience.

This particular location is a good one.  It's located in a higher end shopping plaza and has some nice outdoor seating which is a refreshing change from the sterile environment sub places usually boast.  Plus, it's right next door to a Cold Stone and a toy store.  So not at all a bad option for kids and adults alike.
