Alvin Ord's Sandwich Shop - West Ashley: Indulge in Charleston's Finest Sandwiches

Sandwich its self was good I got a turkey with no onion and it was Delicious. The service was subpar. no greeting when you walk in, no hello when you walk up to the register or anything. The register person was on their phone and just didn’t seem interested in being there.

Our first visit and OMG was it AMAZING! This is by far the BEST sandwich I have had here in the Charleston area. I ordered a MD Beaufort Philly and WOW it was HUGE. It was so tasty and super gooey cheesy in all the right ways. The Turkey/Roast Beef was super delicious as well. My only question is…can you overnight these to KY???

This photo is all that is left of the French dip my girlfriend and I shared. She looked forward to the last piece for lunch at work. The bread is the key, fantastic flavorful and soft. Sand which is $20 now, but a nice treat that easily feeds two people or 3 for a light lunch. Edit: 3 years later we love the Salvation (new picture)

We had the Pizza, Tuna Salad, Turkey Club, and North of Cuba sandwiches. They were all very tasty. If you're looking for a sandwich made with fresh ingredients and a unique taste, this is the place.

The sandwich itself is good. The service is average at best, young kid not overly friendly! The downfall? One large turkey sandwich with only lettuce and mayonnaise and large sandwich with chips and a drink. $58!!!!!! That is absolutely insane. I could’ve gone out to dinner for that at a sit down restaurant!!! I guess the lesson is don’t order the large!!! EDIT: When I got home I realized the sandwhich is HUGE and could feed multiple people. On the counter they had 2 size rolls so I thought one was normal and one was large - clearly I was wrong and the gentleman did not say, "Are you sure you want a large? These 2 buns are not small and large" So I assumed and paid LITERALLY for these 2 sandwiches but at least I feel better about that astonishing amount!

After looking at the photos posted here I think I got a dud or a new employee. I ordered my sandwiches for pickup otherwise I would have said this in person. The flavor of the large pastrami Reuben sandwich was great but I did not get enough meat and got way too much sauerkraut. If the sandwich/bread was half the size I would have been over the moon. Please see my pictures to form your own opinion.

They have three sizes. I saw the bread and thought it was medium so ordered a small. It was ... A lot. But very good. Next time maybe wife and I will share a medium. Folks are Charleston nice. Food is Charleston good. The menu is pretty huge and maybe doesn't really convey how good the bread is.

I ordered thru DoorDash and was not disappointed! The small turkey salad sandwich and chips was the best lunch I’ve had in a while. I ate my food so fast that a pic was not going to happen. Turkey salad was very good and the French bread is perfect! I will definitely be going there for a visit soon.
