I'll elaborate.
I went in with a friend to get a couple meatball sandwiches to eat there, and a sub sandwich to go for another friend.
The meatball sandwiches were as bland as can be, they contained little or no flavor. We could taste no oregano, no garlic, no seasoning, just bland tomato sauce and bland meat. Even salt would have helped. The addition of some cheese would have been nice too. I've never had a meatball sandwich without cheese. Maybe this is how "real" Italians make them and I just haven't had the pleasure of having an authentic one?
The bread could have been great if it was toasted or grilled. It was like cold sponge. Can't we put it in an oven or a salamader for one minute? Even if it was toasted, I don't think it could have saved the sandwich. I did order some chips from a bag and they were great.
Each of us could only stomach half the sandwich and we're generally big eaters. We opened the to go sandwich thinking we would split it and order another one to go for the friend who asked for it. Nope. After one look at it, we resealed it and left hungry. Do real delis use Boar's Head? I don't think so.
I didn't want to waste my time writing about this place but to appease the brave "Anonymous" I did. It'd be smarter not to go back!

ok...what's so bad about it?
maybe it'd be smarter to not say anything at all.

I'm just itching to try this place
Boars head brand lunch meats are one of the top brands around I've never been to that little restaurant but I heard it was good and as far as the meatball sandwiches you're right they need to be spicy and half cheese stringy gooey I cheese
everybody likes different things next time take a run down to 5th Street to the sellers they call the north end your food is great their meatball sandwiches are so good that she'll buy one to take home everything is like homemade don't think you can go wrong if you're looking for Italian I notice they just built an outside dick just before it got cold so this summer should be nice check it out sometime there are many hidden treasures in that area Houston homes no its fourth and home I don't know but its there used to be town topic way back now they had the best carry out pizza that you'll ever have
