When I saw these sandwiches in the frozen isle I got really hungry and thought wow, I gotta get some of these. Me thinking because this is Sam's Club and they always have super high quality, I was feeling quite proud of snagging a box of these bad boys. I mean look at the picture! Wow!! Anyone would be thinking these are going to be amazing!!
When I got home and opened up the box, the sandwiches looked fairly normal sized however, do not be fooled. These are mini hoagies and the buns are no bigger than a standard hot dog bun.
After removing from the wrapper and feeling disappointing by the size I thought where is all the meat at. Do not think you are going meat piled high unless the meat slid to the end of the bun and was stacked higher on one end. Also, the meat is basically steak-ums and is like sliced bacon strips. It has ok flavor but is highly processed like gyro meat almost. It does not taste like beef though and has some seasoning to try and add flavor which you will not taste unless you eat it plain with no bread. Also the cheese only runs 2/3 the length of the bun which the picture shows cheese all the way to the end. The meat to bread to cheese ratio is completely off and all you will taste is basically bread and a tiny hint of salty meat if you get lucky and have an end that is stacked higher. I had to use 2 other sandwiches to make one sandwich that looked like the picture but if you use the meat and cheese from 2 sandwiches you can at least taste some meat now but you need 3 to look like picture. If you have big appetite and like beefy salty goodness do not think this is it.
Anyways, complete and utter disappointment. I love Sam's Club and was expecting better quality in their products. I really think that the company needs to go around the country and try Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches, I mean the best there are, then go home and eat your product and ask yourself, can we do better as a company and create a product that not only matches what you see on the picture, but one that has correct meat to bread to cheese ratios so that our customers can really love our product.
I contacted the company and they gave me full refund and coupons so if you feel duped, dupe the right thing and get your money back.
