Big Star Sandwich Co. - New Westminster

I love the sandwiches here. There is a large variety of options to suit any mood. The only downside I have here is the price, it definitely isn't the cheapest sandwich option around.

New menu and it is going to start offering breakfast sandwiches soon. The new menu board has less sandwich options. The add on for vegetables and hickory stick is no longer on the board. My favorite sandwich from here has always been the corned beef. The new corned beef sandwich does not have the Mack sauce. I usually asked to add the hickory sticks and lettuce, onions, etc, so I did that even though I did not see that on the board. The new menu also means those previously free add-on veggies and hickory sticks are now chargeable at $0.49 each. I was not told of this extra cost. I also did not like the bread that was used for the corned beef sandwich. The texture was a bit gummy. Another thing I did not like was how it was not indicated how much savings you would get by making it a combo (side and drink). It was $0.50 savings. Yup, you only save 50 cents when you do a combo. Since it is not stated anywhere, I'm sharing it here. In any case, I am quite disappointed with the sandwich choices now since the old corned beef sandwich I like is no longer on the menu. Plus I cannot believe my small sandwich combo meal cost about $21! I will not be going back in a hurry. I hope they will update the menu with all the prices and be upfront about additional charges and savings.

Second review: I didn't have a lunch and my friend was gonna go here so I figured I'd tag along. I got the #26 one of the veggie ones. I ended up liking it more than I thought. I got the large size and that was a good size for me. I like how you can add hickory sticks to any sandwich for no charge. I think I will go here again mainly bc I saw on their website that you can substitute any meat for the veggie patty option. First review: You get your value for your money and I say that bc you get good, fresh ingredients. I got the small veggie sandwich $8 after tax I think. Hey didn't have the meat substitutes, otherwise I would have tried that. I really liked the creamy honey mustard sauce. I'd recommend this place to others, but I don't see myself going back, just bc the meat substitute options aren't something I absolutely need to try.

We visited for the first time today, and were disappointed with our sandwiches. They are served on thick, dense, chewy ciabatta bread, with only a small amount of meat inside. Seems they have their meat:bread ratio backwards. Heavy on the mayo based sauces (e.g. the Mack sauce , a clone of Big Mac sauce. Eww... , which results in a fatty, greasy meal that makes you feel a bit disgusting once you 're finished. Prices are high for what you get $9 for a small or $13 for a large sandwich. I 'd probably rather go to Subway next time.

This is my favourite spot in New West. This is not my first time visiting and I used to come in from time-to-time since 2015 when they were at their old location. The sandwiches are great. I always tend to lean towards a number 4 when I'm there, but I always check the menu to try to pick up a new number or see what the special is every time I go there. They have a very wide selection of sandwiches between beef, turkey and deli-cuts. The way the meat, sticks or whatever the contents of your sandwich are; they're perfectly stacked. It's always super delicious too. Depending on the sandwich you select you may have a monstrous pile of meat between bread. The bread is always fresh and it's great too. In my opinion the bread they bake and use ties everything together. Be careful though. If you come in on a weekday around lunch time, you're going to end up waiting. Staff is friendly too. Front counter people always strike up a conversation with me when it's slow. Absolutely worth checking out if you're in the New West area or even the Surrey Central area.
