Came back today and I was more happy with my meal. Each week they have a featured sandwich that is part of their combo($ 10 for a basic sandwich, can pop and a side(sausage, fries, salad or soup of the day) Today it was the meatball. The meatball was nice(you get two) and the salad was nice size(not a tiny one you get elsewhere). The bun is very soft which is good if it’s a sandwich. Personally, I prefer a crusty on the outside but soft on the inside bun. No probs because they make up for it in service. It’s a family business and the son working there is really nice. He actually brought my items to the table as they became ready. Plus, when people ordered and stepped outside, he’d actually go outside to give them their order. It’s the service that sells me and I’ll be back.

You want the Real Deal on this place. Ok here it is. I went to this place once It was pretty good. The vibe for a sandwich shop was pretty good. Friendly staff and she told me they deliver this made me happy. So now a couple days later i decided to order. I call the store they tell me they just use Hurrier or Just Eats. Problem for me but I ordered anyway. This my problem. It coast an extra $ 2 per sandwich and $ 5.50 for delivery. Which I except and pay the fee. Shitty won’t do this again. Then my order was made incorrect. Problem #3 when you use a service and make the order incorrect This is a big problem. The company response is well next time I’m in they will make me a sandwich on them. Problem is why should my guess not be able to eat their food. So eat in yes delivery NOT A CHANCE !!! Until this place get their own this place will remain mediocre to me. That’s the Real Deal On this place.

Ok… so if you live in Toronto the obvious comparison to ‘On A Bun’ would be California Sandwich’s. To end that debate as quickly as it started, there is no equal to CS but there is a good alternative if you’re hungry and can’t walk north the 15 minutes, and it’s found across from Trinity Bellwoods Park. California Sandwich’s is the supreme leader for almost all categories, but On A Bun has them on a few small details. First, Cali has their Veal sandwich at about $ 11. Considering it’s the size of a frisbee, that’s not unreasonable. But OAB has their full size Veal at $ 7.99. It doesn’t come with Cheese or mushrooms, which CS doesnt charge for, but the sandwich would be good with or without those toppings and for the budget conscious amongst us, that could be the difference between veal or no veal(Yeah, I said it!). The restaurant on Queen has tons of good seating, is quiet and the service was above good. I got the Veal with mushrooms and cheese and a side fry. Fries aren’t bad… they’re not great but they were good, and the serving is generous. Now to the sandwich: SOLID. It wasn’t as if I would have mistaken it for California love, but it was still pretty damn good! Also a large brick of food, you won’t be hungry after eating it! I had my fry and sandwich and I ate every last morsel of food. Then I lay down for about an hour. Worth the trip!

This is for meatball sandwich. Maybe other ones are better. It was combo of the day so i gave it a try. It was completely tasteless to me. I think subway next door has better meatball Girl on the counter wasn’t friendly at all.

Wow. I’m impressed, Hamilton! Someone recommended the little new sandwich shop around the corner. Needed a place to refuel before heading back to Toronto in rush hour traffic. Thought I would pick up a grilled chicken sandwich and just pick at it. I ate the whole sandwich; it was that good. The bun was very fresh and moist. The chicken tasted like chicken and with just the right amount of tomato sauce, grilled mushrooms and onions. A wonderful warm Italian chicken sandwich. The in-house marinated olives on the side were a nice touch. Great food, good experience. Would definitely go back.

I’m not sure how other reviews have found this place to be better than California Sandwiches. The bun tasted like it came from a grocery store. The sausage and mushrooms were bland. The onions needed a little more cooking to get a great carmelization going. The owners should try the onions at Wvrst to get an idea of how great they could be. On the positive, it was fast, cheerful, and clean.

Italian sandwich shop new to Queen West! Veal, chicken, meatball, steak. Comparable to California sandwiches just 2 blocks away! Much better in my opinion. Consistently good! Check it out. New to downtown but other locations already going.

So I stopped by yesterday to try their veal sammy. It was a nice clean place with plenty of seating. I added provolone to my sandwich and it came in at just under $ 10. Overall it was pretty damn good! I loved the jalepeno type spread rather than the full peppers with seeds — this way you get heat in every single bite! The bun was fresh and soft. The veal was not greasy like San Francesco up the road and also superior to California Sanwiches. I will be back fo sho!
