Big Star Sandwich

Sandwich overall felt pretty fresh and healthy. I ordered a large but could only eat half as the bread was very tough and my brain was literally tired of chewing. For price vs quality & portion - I personally would not recommend.

Tasty but way too expensive. Portions sizes have become really stingy lately. Weight of the sandwich is not a pound as promised in advertising. See pics. I’m really unhappy paying $16.50 for sandwich that’s advertised as a large, but that ends up being just a tiny sandwich consisting of just bread and a little bit of roast beef cold cuts see pics with a bland gravy-like sauce that you have no choice but to dip into because the sandwich is mostly bread so dry it’s hard to swallow see pics. At the pub on 3rd Ave, it costs $20.50 for a proper beef dip, with fresh bread, it’s loaded with real house made roasted beef, real au jus and with a large portion of fresh crispy fries. I wish someone would open a decent sandwich shop in Richmond like the great ones in Vancouver on Pender, Commercial and Broadway. For now, I’ll just stick to the many great bahn mi shops when I want a good sandwich in Richmond.

Was walking by and said “hey, I’ve always wanted to try their sandwiches” Glad I did! Didn’t know what to order from the many delicious sandwiches. Was recommended the popular Turkey#2. Delicious. The meat so tender, perfect amount of dressing, the choice of bun all blended excellent. Polite staff. After a pleasant conversation with owner… I would like to remind our community to please support our local small businesses.

Ordered on Skip the dishes so it was expensive for sandwiches. Great fresh bread and sauces. Ingredients all fresh. Good sandwich overall. May be worth it in person.Food: 4/5

First time trying Big Star, and it met the expectations of being a solid sandwich shop. Price can be a bit steep, but at least the size of the large is fair. Picture shows a large Tony Montana ~$13.50 pulled pork sandwich. Pork was tender and moist, the saucing amount was just right, and the bread is excellent. Hickory sticks are interesting, but a novelty which the sandwich doesn't have to have. Would go back to try their 20+ other menu options at some point.

I would come back to Big Star Sandwich. I think that the flavour of the sandwich could improve if they could warm the bread a little bit.

I'm a vegetarian and my boys isn't. There isn't many places we both love to eat at but this is one of them! Best sandwiches ever.Food: 5/5

Was excited to try out a new place, especially given that they cook their own meats. The girls behind the counter were nice and offered suggestions on what to get, so I went with their recommendation. Overall the sandwich came out looking ok but as soon as I picked it up I could tell that it was doused in sauce. The bottom bread was soggy and squeezing it caused sauce to come no out the sides. Trying the beef on it's own, it tasted as good as any roast beef I've had, but was undetectable as part of the sandwich - the sauce was just too over powering. After a few more bites I couldn't shake the feeling that I had eating similar sandwiches before, and that's when I realized that it was basically a Quiznos sub without the toasting. Next time I'll try the turkey and hope for better.

Great sandwiches at a reasonable price. Made fresh to order. Good vegetarian options. Service was brisk and efficient, if not very friendly. My turkey with stuffing and cranberry was very tasty. My wife had the veggie sandwich without any fake meat, 29 I think. She said it was also very good. We'll definitely come back when we are in the area around lunch time!

Tried for first time this week. I ordered by phone and picked up. It was ready quickly, they weren't busy at all. It's tucked behind and kind of hidden in the ironwood mall. I ordered a large #1 turkey sandwich that has stuffing in it. It was very good but also very expensive for a barely 20 cm sandwich that cost $16+ .That's just over 7 inches. Compare that with 6 inch/foot long at Subway and free toppings. Big Star will charge you extra for even lettuce. The sandwich was small so I also went to also get some chili at Wendy's because I was starving. But it was different, made with real turkey which is my weakness, the bread was fresh and tasty stuffing. Not sure I'd rush back because it's so pricey but was a good treat.
