Take It Away Sandwich Shop, Uva Corner

Casual, easy order and serve. Sandwich caught me off guard; the bread is good and flavorful, the bacon is crispy and smoky, the turkey is nice and light, the Virginia ham is good salty country ham, and the house dressing tastes kind of like a rich mayo. I don't find myself down here often but I'd come back next time I do.

I saw this place last week when I was walking around one day after hours and thought to myself that I wanted to stop in sometime. Then a friend told me that he really liked it so that piqued my interest more. When I got there a gentleman was talking people's order on his hand held PDA. Very quick and told me when I was ready he could take mine. My sandwich was ordered, paid for and done in less than five minutes. I was given a paper bag with the two halves of the sandwich wrapped in paper and held closed with masking tape. Nice and friendly, I thought. I couldn't wait to get back to my makeshift hotel/office and opened it up right away at one of the counters where patrons can sit. Wow, this sandwich was good. Roast beef on rye with their secret sauce, and pickles. Also came with an extra side of sauce. Very tasty and worth trying. The sandwiches are ordered a la carte where toppings and cheese are extra. With pickles mine was $8. I'll go back soon to try other variations.

Ordered the “very veggie” sandwich, it had nothing listed in the description on their website. Instead of hummus, lettuce, roasted peppers, and banana peppers, it had carrots, cucumber, and sprouts.

Way way too much condiment put in sandwiches, could not taste anything other than the brown mustard, even after scrapping most off.

I visited with my daughter last week. Friendly staff, and the sandwiches were absolutely delicious! Will be coming back again, soon!
