Keep these dates in mind:

We ordered cold sandwiches from there for our plane ride home but unfortunately all but one was left on the MCO bus.
The "survivor",a Caprese, was fine.

Thanks, but thats DL. I'm at WDW.

If you are a fan of Thanksgiving dinner, then the holiday turkey sandwich is a must. It is always my go to when visiting Disney Springs and eating at EOS.

DH likes the holiday sandwich and the original Earl which I believe is a club sandwich of sorts. I always get grilled chicken with fresh mozz & balsamic vinaigrette. It's good, fast, & inexpensive.

People used to comment quite a bit about how much they loved this place, then the enthusiasm died down. A week or so ago there was a post about how it had become pretty lackluster, comparing it to a turnpike sandwich shop. There are so many places to eat at Disney Springs now, you might consider looking into some of the newer venues. I think you can do better than EOS.

I agree. Personally I never understood the hype for EOS. To me its always been a glorified subway. Nothing special. But that's just me. I agree that there are far better options at DS. Although if you feel like a sandwich and youre on a budget and want something quick, then perhaps EOS is the right place for you.

After I posted my comments I started thinking that all that love for EOS was prior to the revamp from DTD to DS. Dining choices were a lot skimpier prior to the reboot of the area. In that most people in the U.S. have some kind of a sub sandwich place within minutes of where they live, I just think there'd be more interesting choices now at DS.

I don't think it's anything special. I know some people love it...even crave it...but when I first heard all of the hype of the WDW location, it was also pitched to me as a wallet friendly place. So, I've always wondered if the popularity is really rooted more in that. We used to have a few local locations of EoS, but they all went out of business because there are better sandwich chains (both in quality and portion size for the cost). I agree that there is so much now in DS that it might be worth consider other options.

Depends on who you ask.
It tends to be a love it or hate it situation.
My family loves it. We often go twice per trip if time allows for it but we always go at least once.
At DLR I went at least 4 times lol.
I always get the Original 1762 and I'm never disappointed.

See that and I read the article twice and never noted it was DL

That's basically what happened with us - we really like "EoS", but then "Blaze" opened, and we were hooked - I know, only pizza, but the kids love it there !

IDK I love pizza but I live in WNY where just in the specific small city I'm in there's a good 10 non chain Pizzerias that I can think of off the top of my head.
I suppose in a place where you've mostly got Pizza Hut or Domino's you'd be more likely to try pizza from somewhere like Disney.

Fine for a quick lunch but nothing to write home about.

We live in Brooklyn - and NYC is supposedly one of the pizza capitals of the world ! ( we DO have excellent pizza here)

Guess its all a matter of comparison/perspective - we have been dealing with pretty lousy WDW pizza for years ( with the exception of Via Napoli, which we love !) Think that's why our kids fell in love with Blaze

I've only been there once, back in Jan. 2017. I went for a quick/cheap dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the vegetarian wrap with the dressing on the side and I also purchased a side of pasta salad. Both were really good! I guess the important thing to emphasize here is, it's not going to be any different than what you'd expect. If you want more out of your lunch I suggest Polite Pig, Blaze, D-Luxe Burger, etc. If you want even more, go to The Boathouse, Morimoto, etc. My point is, it's what you expect. EOS is good imo, but it's a sandwich shop. I'm a health nut so I'd prob opt for the same sandwich at EOS rather than a brisket platter at Polite Pig.

My family used to liked it but on recent trips have found it to be very lacking. Last time we went (about a month or two ago), my sandwich had very little toppings on it so I was just mainly eating bread. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with my overpriced bread basically and was hungry again within an hour or so. We will not be returning again.

It's a turnpike plaza restaurant. Nuff said.

 

[LilyWDW]

I like it but it's not "special". It's good but now that there are so many other options in DS, I doubt I would choose it unless I needed something to eat back in the room.

Thanks, that's the one that caught my eye when I looked at the menu. I'm not looking for gourmet food. The Polite Pig has gotten good reviews, but we live close to several great brisket/BBQ places.
