Reviews for Blimpie in Ankeny, IA
My boyfriend and I went inside to get sandwiches on Sunday October 2nd at about 5:30-6pm. We were the only customers they had.... My boyfriend wanted the blimpie best sub and I wanted the spicy pulled pork sandwich. We noticed the meat portion on my pulledpork looked tiny, and the guy making the sandwich agreed it didn't look like a full portion so he put more on the sandwich. Thenhe told me they were out of the slaw and asked if I wanted to skip it. I said no, that's part of the reason I chose thesandwich. He told me he would go make a fresh batch of the coleslaw. About 5 minutes later he comes out and said they don't haveall the ingredients to make more slaw so I should pick a different sandwich. I thought maybe the turkey Ruben would be good so Ihad him make that. I asked for the sandwich to be warmed up on the sandwich press. We took our food to go since my boyfriendlives in Ankeny. When I opened up my Ruben it was soggy from the tin foil wrapped around it and hardly warm on the outside andfully cold on the inside. I took the first bite and I knew the salad dressing was rancid. Quite possibly the sauerkraut wasspoiled as well, but it was putrid. My boyfriend tried a bite of my sandwich and agreed something was wrong with it so he gaveme half of his blimpie best sub and we decided to take the Ruben back after we ate all of his sandwich. We returned to the storeto find they had a sign saying the lobby was closed, drive-thru only. So we inform them of the problem with my sandwich and askif they will replace it with another blimpie best sub, since that was what my boyfriend had and he still wasn't full because hegave me half of his food. At no point did anyone apologize or offer to refund our money. When the guy handed me the replacementsandwich he did it with his middle finger holding the bag, I was shocked. He didn't say anything to me. Then I asked if heneeded the sandwich we didn't eat and he rudely said, yep. Again didn't apologize, didn't say anythi Read more
I haven't had Blimpie's sandwiches in years since they first came to Des Moines in the 90's. Well several of us at work decided... to give this location in Ankeny a try for our lunches we all ordered different 3 of ordered Cuban Pulled Pork with differenttoppings 1 ordered the Spicy Cuban Pulled Pork and there were a couple different other sandwiches ordered also. Needless to sayafter our experiences with our sandwiches today we were all highly disappointed and vowed we'd never be ordering from Blimpieagain, because the sandwiches pictured online looked good but the sandwiches we got in person were nothing like pictured not inthe slightest or remotely close the Ciabatta bread you could tell was not made in house like you would find at other sub shops,the ham looked like budding type meat, the pulled pork was bland NOT flavorful one bit no smokey flavor like most pulled porkwould have it had the look, consistency and texture like it came out of a can of canned cat or dog food leaving a bad taste andafter taste in your mouth not what any of us expected. Needless to say we all ended up pitching our meals in the trash.... Yesthey were that bad to think we skipped ordering from Jersey Mike's or any place else for this garbage. Never again. We allwanted to try something different than our normal or something we had lately. We definetely got something "Different" and not ina good way either. My advice for the next person or group don't get disappointed yourselves go elsewhere especially for theprice you pay at Blimpie's. Read more
Paid almost $9.00 for a philly steak and cheese that had less then 2 oz of meat. The bread is so dense that it is hard to chew.... So not what Blimpies used to be. Very disappointed! Read more
Bread seemed different (not as good as I remember) and the portions on a turkey and provolone consisted of (literally) one slice... of turkey. Ordered a footlong for the kids to split and asked for no cheese and half with mayo.. got cheese and no mayo on theentire thing. I hate how I feel like I?m being rude by asking them to correct their own mistake. Not sure we?ll be back. Peopleneed to be held accountable for their actions. Read more
The woman making our sandwiches in a Drake sweatshirt was quite frankly rude. We are on our way home from a funeral. We just... wanted good food. Instead the woman completely disregarded our desires for our sandwiches that we paid for. She also failedto restart the sandwich when asked. Overall quality the bread looked good. It's generally clean. The only problem is a peopleproblem. Sunday June 12th 1225 pm. Read more
I didn't realize there were any Blimpie's still around, until I found this one in Ankeny. We drove out of our way to get there... and now we regret going there. The bread on both me and my wife's sandwiches tasted like sand paper. When I asked Michael, theguy behind the counter, if they had any bread that wasn't overcooked, he said that all their bread was pretty dense and that'show corporate wanted the bread cooked. Don't go to this place! You will definitely get a better sandwich anywhere else. I guessthere's a reason most Blimpie's have closed! Read more
Another fantastic blimpie experience. Great sandwiches. The staff were super pleasant and friendly. Lots of seating options.... Very clean restaurant. Super chill atmosphere. I will be back again to dine at this wonderful establishment. Read more
Wow. So slow at drivethru. I ordered on the mobile app and still had to wait forever. Once they handed the order out, it was... missing drinks and sides took even longer for those. Read more
