I wanted to get a front shot of this building, but as you can see, traffic was pretty bad on Broad River Road at the time; perhaps I'll get one later. At any rate, this place, now a TitleMax<\/i> loan operation was once a Steve's #1 Sub Contractor<\/i> sandwich shop. Google suggests that there are still several branches of the chain in town, but not in places that I normally go -- this is the only one I can recall seeing. In the event, I never made it there, because it's a long way to go for a sandwich.<\/p>\n

That said, what I really want to see in Columbia is something like Dagwood's Sports Bar & Deli<\/i> in Surfside Beach. They have nice booths, table-service, honking-big glasses, which they keep<\/i> filled, and a great you-name-the-ingredients sandwich building option with sandwiches that come on an excellent<\/i> in-store fresh baked sub-roll. I've tried a number of sandwich operations in Columbia without finding its equal. I was not impressed at all with Duke's<\/i>, Which-Wich<\/i> is very industrial, with fountain-tea, most of the per-se \"sub\" shops have uncomfortable seating, Panera<\/i> has odd sandwich choices, as does McAlister's<\/i> and Groucho's<\/i> has so-so bread. I think Very's<\/i> on Two Notch comes the closest. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
