#27: Quiznos (Edwards Ferry Rd.)

Date Visited: 27 September 2008

Meal: Dinner

Diners: 3 - Me, Wendy, & Alicia

Experience: Leesburg has two Quiznos locations, this one is on Edwards Ferry Rd. in the Battlefield Shopping Center. The other one is on Market St. in Bellewood Commons. And strangely, no, there is no apostrophe between the "o" and the "s". I'm not sure what the name means, and there's nothing about it on the web site. According to all-knowing Wikipedia, "Quiznos is a fast-food restaurant franchise. As of 2005, it was the second-largest submarine sandwich shop chain in North America, after Subway." Quiznos' claim-to-fame is that they toast all their sandwiches, which does somewhat set them apart from other sub sandwich restaurants.

After yet another long day back from an LCHS marching band competition, we were ready for a quick dinner. On this visit, I got a 9-inch Baja Chicken sandwich ("chicken, bacon, cheddar, red onion, mild Chipolte Mayo, sweet and smoky Baja sauce, fresh cilantro.") and a side Caesar salad. The Baja sauce was unique and made this sandwich very good. I very much appreciate the fact that Quiznos offers combo meals with salad in addition to the standard chip option. Wendy got a 6-inch Turkey Ranch and Swiss sandwich ("turkey, swiss, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Ranch Dressing"). All Alicia got was a big cookie(!)

Quiznos is good, but to me not really much different than Subway. I'll be visiting the other Leesburg location sometime soon.

Location: 1015 Edwards Ferry Rd. NE, Leesburg, VA, 20176
