The Whole Darn Thing Sub Shop - Meadville (PA)

4 /5 Elizabeth Straus Sotherland: This is a little mom and pop sub shop. I ordered gluten free items. They will ask “allergy or preference,” and if you say “allergy,” they will change gloves and make your food in a separate space, but still in front of you such that you can see the whole process. There’s still a small risk of cross-contamination, but it is a sub shop after all. As far as taste goes, GF Wedge substitute for bread was good, the flatbread was not. Now about the service- it took forever. I arrived at about dinner time on a Saturday and was in line for a long time. When it was my turn to order, I got the employee with a bad attitude. She has dark hair and a tattoo on the back of her neck of a skeleton hand giving you the middle finger. If you have the same misfortune- the trick is to MATCH HER ENERGY. Do not hesitate. Be blunt and loud and clear when you speak to her, just like she is with you. You will get what you order, if it’s GF it will be safe to eat, and the whole experience will feel like the “Soup Nazi” episode of Seinfeld. The other employee there also helped with my order, and she was lovely.

5 /5 Marissa Kawinski: I have been a long time customer of WDT - theyve been a staple in the community my entire life. We were recently in on a busy Saturday during lunch and the only two ladies working were moving as quickly as they could but they simply could not keep up with all they had to work on all at once. The workers deserve the restaurant to be better staffed, as do the customers. The food is and has always been absolutely wonderful. Please work on whatever you need to do to address the staffing - raise prices to compensate for better pay, etc. Thank you!

5 /5 Evie Soks: Did I need a sub that was bigger than more forearm?? .. probably not. Will I be happily eating for a couple of days?? Yes. The girl who answered the phone and took my order was extremely polite. My pickup was seamless, and the young lady who rang me up, ( wearing a super cool Friday the 13th shirt) also very friendly. The sub so very delicious.

5 /5 Arion Knott: I cannot recommend this place enough!! Firstly, I have a gluten allergy. The staff was very knowledgeable and had a separate section for everything including toasting. I feel very safe eating here and it’s hard to get that when I eat out. Second, the staff are so friendly and work quick! I’ve been in there while they were packed and I was still in and out in a timely manner. I’ve had some wonderful conversations while waiting and the service is just above and beyond! And third, the food is DELICIOUS! Every time I get a cauliflower wedge my mouth waters while I wait in line and eating it is even better! If you’re in the area and hungry I can’t think of a better place to stop.
