I was excited to see Taylor Gourmet was open and made it through the pandemic. I chose to go there for a salad over several other places and I’m upset that I did. The $17 salad was pathetically small. The flavor and quality were fine but I could have easily made something 10x better at home for about $1.50. I also remember them having paper-based to go containers which is why I chose them over Chop’t. Sadly I will be hard pressed to return.
I had a very nice avocado chicken salad BLT. Lots of flavor
Always fast and polite, much respect given and received. Thanks.
The Colonial was the worst sandwich I have ever attempted to eat and keep down. The cranberry sauce could not even be found on the sandwich, but I doubt I would have been able to taste it, anyway. The only flavor in that sandwich was the overwhelmingly garlicky kale. Usually, I love garlic and am quite heavy-handed with it in my cooking, but this sandwich had way too much and it completely overpowered all the other ingredients. Even removing the garlicky kale did not help

The only flavor in that sandwich was the overwhelmingly garlicky kale. Usually, I love garlic and am quite heavy-handed with it in my cooking, but this sandwich had way too much and it completely overpowered all the other ingredients. Even removing the garlicky kale did not help, as the ridiculous amount of garlic had permeated all layers of the sandwich. I had to brush my teeth six times to make a dent in getting the garlic flavor out of my mouth. I still tasted it after that, but that at least made it a bit less nauseating. On top of that garlic disaster, hoagies do not have a crust of sesame seeds on their rolls. This place is supposedly inspired by Philadelphia and Philadelphian hoagies, but that inspiration only comes through in the sandwich names. These sandwiches are nothing like Philly hoagies and are just disgusting. They are even worse than the sandwich shop named after the New York City transit system and that is impressively bad! Finally, the cracked spuds are nothing more than unseasoned, overcooked, dry breakfast potato chunks. They are not the appropriate type of potatoes to accompany a sandwich and they really had no flavor. Salt, pepper, and ketchup could not even save them. Do yourselves a favor, if you are at Pike and Rose or are scrolling through Door Dash, just avoid this place. Your taste buds will thank you.
First time here. Enjoyed the California Avenue sandwich! Would definitely return.
Amazing cheese steaks!
Ordered Taylor Gourmet on Uber Eats. It came up as a black owned business near me so of course I wanted to check it out to support. And the food was great! I ordered the California Avenue sandwich. I should have gotten a regular size but I got a large and it is just that. A Large
I placed an online order of a chicken cheese steak (in hindsight no one should order that in DC, philly isn’t far after all). The chicken was undercooked and I couldn’t get through the first few bites as a result. I tried calling the store but the phone number seemed out of order.A few friends ordered different options and in all fairness they thought it was good. Definitely don’t recommend the chicken!
The best and the staff is cool. We need more Taylor's in the community
