I ordered the #10 which is a handmade salsicca with cheese touted as the best in St. Louis. The sandwich is served on Italian bread with cheese and marinara sauce - it was delicious, albeit a tad small. The sausage was excellent the bread, sauce and cheese rounded out the flavor pallet in a manner worthy of their best in St. Louis boast.
Brendan had the #21 “Yogi Berra” dog which consisted of two all-beef jumbo franks served open face smothered in Joe Fassi’s homemade chili, provel cheese and onions. The sandwich came in a foil pan and was baked in the oven melting the cheese on the chili. The chili was excellent, flavorful but not too spicy as to drown out the flavor of the all-beef franks.
Sid had the #11 Paul Fassi New York Bomber which consisted of roast beef, genoa salami, pepper cheese, tomato sauce and pepperoncini. Sid told us the quality of the ingredients and the blend of flavors of the sandwich were extremely good, but the sandwich which was served hot was ice cold in the middle deducting points from the overall enjoyment of the experience.
Each of us made our sandwiched into a combo by adding bag potato chips and a fountain soft drink. After using the groupon we still owed $18 for the three sandwiches, chips and sodas, which seemed a bit steep considering the pedestrian nature of the sides and beverages.
Overall the food was good, but it’s easy to see why they need to have a groupon to try to get people in the door. I will probably wait until the next groupon before visiting Joe Fassi’s again.
Value: 2 Lunch buckets (as a combo each meal was $8.59 each)
Service: 4 Lunch buckets
Food Quality: 3 Lunch buckets (all of the food was good, but warm sandwiches served cold in the middle are a problem in my book)
Overall: 3 Lunch buckets
