Massive, soggy, hot sandwiches dripping with juice. MMmmmmmmmm
With American sized (read: extra large) portions, California Sandwiches makes sandwiches fun again, (almost) making me forget about those day-in-day-out sandwiches I'd pack in elementary school.
Sandwiches run about $10, and an extra $1 for additional toppings, and will cost you a lot of calories, but once in a while you just feel like you want a big hearty sandwich dripping with juiciness. And when those cravings hit when I'm at work, this is where I go.
Veal, Beef and chicken are all good from what I've tried. -

People have been raving to me about this joint for a while now, so I finally decided to check it out today.
Disappointing. I got the basic vegetarian sandwich for $4.50. When I opened it up, it was a sloppy mess. I can't really comment on the bread since it was drenched in sauce, which was too salty for me to pick out any other flavour. I couldn't bring myself to finish more than half of it, and my hands were a red, sticky mess after this ordeal. Definitely didn't live up to its hype at all.
Two stars because the place is clean and has a welcoming diner feel inside, and they were playing some sweet oldies. -

This is one of my favourite sandwich places ever. There are a bunch of locations each a tiny bit different (at least the sauce is). They serve italian paninis and small pasta dishes as well. If you haven't had an italian panini from california sandwiches, prepare to be amazed.
It's funny because my girlfriend always teased me about how much meat and filling I put in sandwiches when she would only put something like 2 slices of meat. California sandwiches is not that place. Expect a giant panini filled with a fried cutlet of either veal or chicken (there may be other options but those two are the only ones I ever order). The cutlets dwarf the panini (perfect), are smothered with homemade tomato sauce and topped with you choice of mushrooms, provolone, an onions if you so choose. A word of caution, depending on the location you go to the severity of the sauce's hotness will varie. I remember getting the sauce "hot" at the little Italy location and it was not messing around.
Out of both the veal and the chicken cutlets I actually prefer the chicken. I usually have it topped with cheese and mushrooms ontop and find it perfect. I've had it with sauce on the side but actually prefer how the sauce seeps into the breading making it softer (and messier).
You must visit this place. MUST! However be warned not to bring your business suit or fancy shirt, your sandwich may end up on it. And dates? Forget about it, unless you want to look like a person mauling their food with sauce up to your wrists. Or is it just me? Nah I'm awesome. Maybe I'll use a knife and fork next time, or is that frowned upon like the chocolate bar? -

My buddy took me to this location my first time a few years ago. Family owned and run it's simply my favourite place for a chicken Parma sandwich with peppers and mushrooms. You can get veal and more. I even heard it was sooooo good. Some guy was crazy enough to have it FEDEXED to Vancouver so he could have it for dinner. Now that's something!!!!
Remember those old Batman TV shows where the words KAPOW! WHAM! BAM! would pop up on the tv screen? That's what this food does for me! Oh, I give this 5 thumbs up. No problemo.
Everytime I'm in Tornto area, I have to make a visit here at least once!
mangi! mangi! mangi! -

I had people convince me to go to this place, and I left less than pleased.
I found the sandwiches quite dry and I'm sorry $1 for toppings is just bizarre to me.
The place was small and the servers weren't really in the mood to serve us. Oh well now I'm not in the mood to return there. -

The buns are really really cheap and not indicative of what Italians eat with their veal sandwiches. The veal is good but the pricey toppings don't make it worth the price. The meatballs in the meatball sandwiches consist of 90% bread and 10% meat and are bland and tasteless. Other locations may be better but I am not willing to try them out, I've made better sandwiches at home.

It's official. I'm a pig.
Can you really blame me? When the food is as good as this, it's almost a sin not to be.
Let me explain, I had a hot veal sandwich and it was really good. With that, I had a Brio to wash it down. The bread was tasty, the veal was cooked perfectly (as expected), and the heat from the hot peppers was alright. I would have preferred it to have been a little hotter, but I'm not complaining.
After I had the veal sandwich I had a grill chicken sandwich (ok, I only ate half of it) and it was good.
This begs the question, can they do no wrong? I'l have to go back, try something else and I'll let you know.

Have been buying a veal sandwich ever year I go to Toronto. Like a tradition for 25 years. I remember it when it was hole in the wall near Dundas St in downtown Toronto. I just had my fix yesterday and It was as good as the first one was 25 years ago.

It is an awesome sandwich, but it is a little pricey...if your Italian or just a meat lover you'll positively like the food, fresh, made to order sandwiches with multiple toppings, i use to go to the sheppard location but very similar....
