"As I have started to explore the Windsor, CT area, I was delighted to discover a way to sandwich that I have not experienced in a long time. Not since I lived in Florida many years ago have I come across a Blimpie sandwich shop. Wanting to relive my rookie sandwiching days, I decided to give Blimpie located at 1001 Day Hill Road a try. The following is a subjective review filled with mildly infuriating uses of the word sandwich that may leave you regretting that you didn’t stop reading now.1. The Good.I placed my order online and got the Blimpie Best with the zesty parmesan bread, standard toppings and added banana peppers. I also paired it with a bag of chips and a regular sized fountain drink. The store actually offers a wider selection of chips that what is available online and the friendly server gladly allowed me to exchange them for another flavor. The best part was that it was ready for me when I arrived. No waiting necessary.The sandwich was good, it was made exactly how I ordered it. There were no weird center pieces of onion rudely introduced to the sandwich. Using the small center parts of onions on sandwiches is like making a sandwich using only the heels of a loaf a bread. It’s disrespect to the sandwich and the sandwicher.The dining area was well kept and they have lots of seating available. The fountain drink dispenser was clean with lids and straws organized.To finish this portion of the review, I would like to note that the prices are reasonable. Now I’m using this term rather generously and you may realize why after reading the next section.2. The sandwich with a lower case “s”.I don’t want to give anyone an inferiority complex about the size of the “s” in their sandwich. But let’s be honest, do you really want to eat a sandwich and be left wondering if there’s better out there? The answer is no, you don’t. You want a sandwich with a capital “S”. You want a Sandwich that He-Man could use to summon the power of GreySkull. A Sandwich that King Leonidas and 300 other Sandwich warriors could use to fend off an overwhelming army of hotdogs. Finally, (I promise this is the last one,…for now) you deserve a Sandwich that could clear up Interstate 91 southbound traffic into Hartford, CT on a Friday afternoon.The sandwich I had at Blimpie was a sandwich with a lower case “s”. Now before you get mad at my repeated use of terrible analogies and swipe this review away to go back to mindlessly scrolling social media, remember, I said the sandwich tasted good. All things considered, the only thing that prevented my Blimpie sandwich from having a capital “S” was that I felt the sandwich was kinda skimpy. The amount of deli meat, toppings, and bread was, underrepresented? I believe you’ll find the photos attached to this review will give you a clearer understanding of what a sandwich with a lower case “s” looks like.3. The “I see what you’ve done here and I’m not sure how I feel about it yet”.Currently, Blimpie offers twenty two different sandwiches. That’s a broad array of sandwiching choices. But let me offer you this casual observation, three of those sandwiches are the exact same sandwich with a couple of different toppings. In particular, the Italiano Blimp, the Caprese Blimp, and the Blimpie Best.Now, part of me considers this a brilliant marketing strategy to resell the same thing by adding pesto or some black olives with a catchy product name. Genius! The other part of me imagines I’ve just been lured into a sandwich shop with three gorillas and each of them has on a different color of lipstick.4. The takeaway:If you’re in the area and looking for a place to grab a bite for lunch, or a reason not to do the dishes because you’re hungry and alone, Blimpie is an option. But if you want to sandwich with a capital “S”, you may want to try sandwiching somewhere else."

It came to Blimpie in my travels and it was most pleasant to have. There are not many blimpie facilities.

Blimpies is my preferred alternative to Subway. I love the bread, and everything tastes fresher. It brings back a sense of nostalgia for me. I do wish they stayed open later, but it is what it is. Overall, I find the experience quite satisfactory. View menu

A nice sandwich shop with good ingredients and a very friendly crew that isn't the big S. Not that I dislike the big S, but rather that I like variety. They have some nice spicy sauces to pick from, if you like that sort of thing. I do, so that's another draw for me. Anyway, food is good, service is great, so go!

Unfortunately I had to phone in my order because the website wasn't connected to this location for some reason. But the food was great, the people behind the counter were very nice, and my order was ready at my requested time, and still hot (it was not sitting waiting for me for the 50 minutes it took for me to get over there). Well done, Blimpie. Sorry, didn't get a pic of the meatball sub. It was too good.
