Foodies: Decent fast-casual toasted meat-sandwiches at Charley's Grilled Subs

Mmm...what better way to end a day of studying than a large sandwich stuffed with meat?

A friend and I trotted over to the southern central end of The Block At Orange after a long day of studying, and we decided to take advantage of these hot sandwiches. The restaurant itself was pretty empty that night for such a crowded Saturday, so we had quite a bit of breathing room and our food was ready fast. You can see the employees prepare your food on the grill as well:

It's definitely not as good as Blue Frog Bakery — the sandwich, as you can see, is a little sloppily put-together with cheap iceberg lettuce and mayonnaise, which I specifically didn't request but they put on anyways to spite me — but it's not as expensive either. For about $5.50, I got a good sandwich 2 cups' worth of 1cm-thick savory fries. The sandwich itself was about 600 calories; and a similar 600 calories with the fries.

The Block At Orange is well-served by transit with OCTA lines 47, 54, 57, and a bit of walk from line 147, although unfortunately surrounded by a sea of parking spaces that takes about 3 minutes to cross. The great thing about The Block At Orange is the wealth of fast-casual dining choices in the $5-$9 price range, making it easy for you and a group of friends to hop off OCTA and choose the foods that you like.
