It’s a new school year, which means new classes, new books and even a new place for students to eat in Whitaker: The Sandwich Shack.
A bit of a healthier alternative to the burgers and fries at Grille Works, the Sandwich Shack offers a variety of sandwiches, Panini’s and wraps for those looking for something they won’t regret eating the next day. Given the line every day around lunch and dinner, the new eatery seems to be a hit with HoodCollege students.
Sophomore Megan Reeve welcomes the Sandwich Shack, which replaced Freshii, Hood’s last sandwich and wrap eatery. “I like it more than Freshii because I feel like it caters to more people.”
Brad Frieze, a senior, was “elated” that Freshii was replaced with a new sandwich shop. “Freshii legitimately gave me food poisoning; I was sick for three days,” Frieze claimed.
The Sandwich Shack is also a relief for students on a tight budget because of their affordable prices for quality food.
“The food is good quality, and the price is not terrible,” said Reeve. Frieze agreed, stating he gets more for his money at the Sandwich Shack. “Freshii way overpriced,” he added.
Another aspect that sets the Sandwich Shack apart of Hood’s other dining options is the ability to create your own sandwich or wrap. Reeve often opts for a create-your-own chicken and cheddar sandwich on a baguette while Frieze favors the turkey and bacon ciabatta.
A month into the new school year, the Sandwich Shack seems to be the new dining sensation at Hood. If you’re looking for good, healthy food at an affordable price, head on over to Whitaker for whatever sandwich you desire; you won’t be disappointed.
