Sammi’s Sandwiches served some scrumptious sustenance

DYLAN HEMBROUGH reporter

Sammi’s Sandwiches in Alton, Illinois, serves up quite a beefy meal – even if it’s a chicken sandwich.

I refer to this little shop as a “hidden gem” because it took quite a while to actually find it. I’m not very familiar with Alton yet, but this shop was hard to find. But the wait was worth it – an enormous chicken sandwich awaited me.

I’m glad I went with my girlfriend, because the sandwich was almost too much for one person to eat.

The chicken sandwich came equipped with lettuce, onions, bacon, and plenty of cheese. There was so much packed into the sandwich that a chunk of chicken fell out every once in a while, but I feel like that just added to the experience.

Once we were done with our sandwich, my girlfriend and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the little hole-in-thewall shop.

It was a fun lunch date, and for the amount of food stuffed into that $10 sandwich, the price was pretty reasonable!
