Orpheum Stage Left Sub Shop

Menu board at Stage Left
Along Beaver Street downtown Flagstaff across from the municipal courthouse sits the new Orpheum Stage Left Sub Shop.
Stage Left serves what they deem "Brooklyn style" sandwiches and salads. There is a nice selection of cold and hot sandwiches from meat lovers options like the New Yorker and Meatball to veggie choices like Eggplant Parmesean and the Paisan (also known as a Caprese with some extras). All sandwiches are about eight bucks and come with a side of chips, pasta salad or potato salad. They also have kids sandwiches and soups plus a pretty nice bar for cocktails.
The interior is small but with good style, maximizing space with stools all along the perimeter. Outside seating is comfortable - a nice patio area with several tables with a view of the hustle and bustle of Beaver Street, though sitting there is pretty relaxing.
(Note to parents with babies- bring a stroller because there aren't any high chairs).
On this trip I ordered up the Eggplant Parmesean with a side of the pasta salad. My hubby went for the New Yorker with chips. Both were fresh and delish. The eggplant was lightly breaded and a tiny touch spicy, cooked just right. The bread was super fresh. The tomato sauce was tangy.
The pasta salad side was refreshing and light with a zip from red onions and peppers.
The New Yorker had top notch meats and a very nice balsamic vinegar and oil dressing. Chip choices were Lays Classics or Sun Chips.
Quality ingredients and good flavor combinations well describe Stage Left. This is my new favorite sandwich spot in Flagstaff. A must visit for sure!
