Italian Store (Lee Hwy meets Spout Run -- middle of nowhere Alrington)

Extremely popular deli/Italian grocer/eatery that serves some of the BEST subs/italian hoagies in the area. Waiting to place your order seems a time-honored tradition, but think on two things when you think you should not be waiting: 1) if these subs weren't this good, would there be this type of wait EVERYDAY? and 2) if other places made subs that were remotely close to being this good, would there be this type of wait EVERYDAY? Yeah, that's right. You wait until your number comes up.

Or you could get the to-go hoagies, but that's limited to two types, so if you want, you wait. And you'll like it.

The pizzas are so-so.

One of the first places we tried. We really found some gems early on here. Thank goodness for that! And when we first came, it didn't have any signage outside or anything. Some obscure place that had good reviews. You would have never known it was there. And still hard to see from the road.

Cost
$-$$

Cleanliness
Prep area seems clean enough.

Service
That's not what you're here for.

Pluses 
Best subs in the area
Outdoor seating

Minuses
You will wait
It's kind of out of the way
Only outdoor seating so if all the tables are taken, you take it to go

Overall value
One of the best bang-for-your-buck places.
