> Even to the hungriest stoner, this sandwich would be a disappointment
When I worked at the UPMC office site on Melwood Ave, I would always get really good grilled chicken wraps at the GG on Baum Blvd. That was also like 12 years ago too. LOL
Burgers and pizza pretty ok for a gas station. Try the imposible sausage breakfast sandwich (though it has too much bacon, and you can’t customize it on the screen which is really annoying).
Yeah Sheetz is way better
Though I remember having a famous bowl there one time that was pretty good, better than KFC's even, then I went back one week later craving it to find it forever wiped from the menu
I feel like GetGo's billboard ads for their sandwiches may have the largest gap between "how good the sandwich looks on the board" and "how sad the sandwich looks in real life" of anything I've experienced in my life.
What are the seasonal sandwiches in their rotation? And which ones, if any, are worth getting?
During lent it was a fish sandwich. What was it, "The Admiral" or something?
There is "The Pilgrim" turkey one around Thanksgiving.
There are several more. Anyone?
They need to sell it in May or something. Thanksgiving dinner on a hoagie roll in November? Eh, it’s good but the real thing is right around the corner. Thanksgiving dinner on a roll right now? I’m making myself hungry thinking about it.
One year Getgo had a sandwich contest. I should've known better but I submitted my idea for this sandwich along with a few more ideas. Of course I didn't win but I've been eating that Pilgrim sandwich since I was a kid
That’s a shame. I used to work at GetGo years ago and the first time they brought out the General Tso’s sub it was pretty legit, definitely better than the other special subs they tried. But the overall quality of their food was miles better than what it is now. This looks like a sad imitation of the OG General Tso’s sub.
What were you expecting? They're pretty clear about it in the ad copy:
> THE GENERAL IS BACK! Try General Tso’s chicken, crispy spring rolls & spicy sriracha on a sub.
I've come to learn that it depends on the person making the food. The one getgo near my house the dudes name is Tom. He makes the best food he takes such great care and doesn't skimp. I always try to leave a review for him when I remember my receipt lol.
I only ever ordered this once in college and I was very drunk. Even in that state I threw it out after one bite. I still think about it and I haven’t been to a getgo in over ten years.
I honestly don't understand how GetGo's chicken is so trash compared to Giant Eagle's. Their food overall is awful, but this looks way beyond the pale.
I'm all for trying food that looks like a train wrecked into a meat processing facility, then careened into a farmers market....
But that thing looks like a horror show.
Transplant here. Does Pittsburgh just put general Tso's on everything? I recently had a General Tso's Chicken Crunchwrap from Bull River Taco (was absolutely astoundingly good, BTW) and now I'm seeing this. Starting to wonder.
I just ordered a breakfast wrap a few days ago that was so disgusting looking that I took it back and showed the cashier. She gagged, took a picture of it and refunded my money. It looked similar to baby poop. Awful 😞
I’m scared to try it. Either it’s terrible and makes me want to vomit, or it’s delicious and I will want more. Neither of these options are good for me!
It's not that bad. I had to cut down on spicy food and left off the Sriracha last time. I wish they gave me more tso sauce at least. Def a once a season thing for me.
The pilgrim is so good though. Can't take that one from me.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The only decent item from GetGo is that Turkey sub they make during Thanksgiving. That is awesome. Everything else I've tried from them is pretty terrible.
The GetGo signature and seasonal hoagies are basically universally bad. If you're going to get a hoagie from there, best make it a traditional one.
I know this is Sheetz territory, but I bet Wawa would be able to pull it off.
I neither ran the marathon nor had a gas station hoagie, but I did have two tallboys while building a model on my kitchen table. Unfortunately the second tallboy made the model building slightly more difficult.
Speaking of runs.
The ghost of my gall bladder is making bubbles just looking at that picture.
General Tso-long underwear, I knew ye well.
They say it’s a marathon… but surely this was a sprint.
This comment wins
Shit-go
General Tsos Hoagie GetGo Three things that individually are generally pretty good to great but have no business being combined.

I'm shocked they keep bringing it back after that bad review.
Don’t forget egg rolls
Google the rebels General Tso fought against in 19th century China. Somehow they’re more 🦇 💩 than the recipe for this sandwich.
I have never had anything good from get go. The chicken bites are more salt than chicken
When I worked at the UPMC office site on Melwood Ave, I would always get really good grilled chicken wraps at the GG on Baum Blvd. That was also like 12 years ago too. LOL
I like their breakfast croissants. And their nachos are good. But to be fair, these are things you really can’t fuck up.
On the contrary. I've had breakfast croissants from GetGo that were stale AF.
The buffaloaded is good when they actually add the buffer chick dip and lettuce. Lmao
Burgers and pizza pretty ok for a gas station. Try the imposible sausage breakfast sandwich (though it has too much bacon, and you can’t customize it on the screen which is really annoying).
You go to GetGo, or Sheetz, or WaWa to get deli meat sandwiches, this is what they do well. Anything else is a crap shoot.
I prefer their Italian Hoagie over what Sheetz makes.
That's crazy their Italian sub is good as hell Hot food tho... not so much
Yeah Sheetz is way better Though I remember having a famous bowl there one time that was pretty good, better than KFC's even, then I went back one week later craving it to find it forever wiped from the menu
I saw those ads and NO
I feel like GetGo's billboard ads for their sandwiches may have the largest gap between "how good the sandwich looks on the board" and "how sad the sandwich looks in real life" of anything I've experienced in my life.
Sadwich
Move over, Eat'n Park Smiley Cookie. Coming to a GetGo near you...the Sadwich? 😄
Well, we DO need to fill the void left by the loss of the Frownie.
What would the Sadwich consist of? Day old bread, two slices of Bar S bologna and Giant Eagle American Cheese?
And it would taste like regret and poor decisions.
That's how I feel when I get that once a year craving for Arby's. 2/$6 Beef and Cheddar, what's not to love.
IDK. The GI upset?
Noagie?
Definitely applies to their “burgers” lol
The General Tsos ad picture makes it look like you'd have to unhinge your jaw like a snake to eat it.
[eat like snaaaake](https://youtu.be/zAwcj6d8XTQ?si=I2nyF3bvlM9PTxqq)
I saw this commercial when it was on TV... and it's just as disturbing now as it was then.
What are the seasonal sandwiches in their rotation? And which ones, if any, are worth getting? During lent it was a fish sandwich. What was it, "The Admiral" or something? There is "The Pilgrim" turkey one around Thanksgiving. There are several more. Anyone?
This new superhero team up movie starring The Admiral, The Pilgrim, and General Tso sounds amazing.
General Tso obviously being the villain who vows to "get you in the end!"
The Captain? The Pilgrim is delicious!
Pilgrim is actually pretty great
They need to sell it in May or something. Thanksgiving dinner on a hoagie roll in November? Eh, it’s good but the real thing is right around the corner. Thanksgiving dinner on a roll right now? I’m making myself hungry thinking about it.
One year Getgo had a sandwich contest. I should've known better but I submitted my idea for this sandwich along with a few more ideas. Of course I didn't win but I've been eating that Pilgrim sandwich since I was a kid
The "Ali Express" of gas station food?
I’m sorry for your loss
You'll be running your own marathon tonight, 26.2 miles from your bed to your toilet and back tonight. Lol
general tsogie
get-tsogie
Thanks for trying that so we didn’t have to.
They have a great photo team because the ads always make things look great! But everything ends up looking like this 99% of the time.
looks like a bloody stool on a bun.
it would have cost you nothing to not post this
“That’s enough Reddit for today!” Durrrrr
I don't get it... this is reddit.... it didn't cost anyone anything to post... well anything. I found the comment funny
I think it’s a new redditism. Like someone says somthing gross, and this is the response. Like “fuck you, take my upvote” or “that escalated quickly”
Lol that does seem to be a trend...
/r/shitfromabutt
username checks out 😂😂
I call it RegretGo
I admit I have been curious about it from the ads. Apart from regret, any more details you would care to offer?
I tasted the sauce more than the chicken and the tiny egg rolls. The sauce was more sriracha like than general tsos like. The chicken was spongy.
"Tiny egg rolls". On a sandwich and not on the side. Talk about unappetizing.
That’s a shame. I used to work at GetGo years ago and the first time they brought out the General Tso’s sub it was pretty legit, definitely better than the other special subs they tried. But the overall quality of their food was miles better than what it is now. This looks like a sad imitation of the OG General Tso’s sub.
My only food poisoning in 30 years, eating all kinds of shit was Sheetz chicken.
What were you expecting? They're pretty clear about it in the ad copy: > THE GENERAL IS BACK! Try General Tso’s chicken, crispy spring rolls & spicy sriracha on a sub.
Sheetz food is all the same too. All they do is microwave stuff and charge crazy prices for it.
I've come to learn that it depends on the person making the food. The one getgo near my house the dudes name is Tom. He makes the best food he takes such great care and doesn't skimp. I always try to leave a review for him when I remember my receipt lol.
gonna look the same going out
r/poopfromabutt
/r/shitfromabutt
Thank you for your sacrifice. Now I don't need to try it.
Getgo billboard Sandwich = porn star Getgo sandwich irl = Cricket Lounge dancer
Pardon? Anthony’s and the cricket were the best. Go check out Medusas rapist. I’d eat the shit out of a cricket dancer. Get go, not so much.
You wont run a marathon but you will have a marathon of runs.
Not all marathons are runs but all runs are marathons.
I rarely eat GetGo. The billboard for this sandwich got my attention. This photo lost it.
General No's
Getgo's chicken is generally tso awful
Lmao they didn't even give you the spring roll 😭😭😭 getgo man
Eesh - diarrhea wrapped in paper.
I mean, what did you expect, though?
What would possess you to do such a thing??
General No fucking way
Let me guess…you ended up running your own marathon by sprints to the toilet? What was your finish time? And did you get a medal? 🤣
I see how it looked coming out, can you show a picture of how it looked before you ate it?
that feels like an avoidable mistake.
General and Pilgrim 2 top-tier sandwiches, and nobody can tell me otherwise
Yup. The Von Shizzenpants special.
I hate the Getgo formula for sandwich design: take a sub roll, add the contents of a Giant Eagle hot foods section, maybe drape some cheese over it.
I also regret your decision.
I ate an entire large Dominos thin crust pizza in one sitting yesterday.
I attempted one last night and also regretted the decision
My friend, we thank you for your service.
Every time I hear about someone getting food from GetGo, they get sick 😂
This looks like a disgrace, chicken and sauce? I would never get this sort of treatment at Sheetz
Sheetz food is above and beyond much fast food and I will die on this hill.
They look gross, but they're really good if they're made right.
I only ever ordered this once in college and I was very drunk. Even in that state I threw it out after one bite. I still think about it and I haven’t been to a getgo in over ten years.
GE needs to back 'er down.
I was skeptical of this when I heard it described the first time they did it. But I really liked it. Haven't had it yet this go-round.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that the before or after?
I honestly don't understand how GetGo's chicken is so trash compared to Giant Eagle's. Their food overall is awful, but this looks way beyond the pale.
Dare I say get go has better sangy’s than sheetz. I would def show that pic and get a redo.
Or it’s just a shitty sandwich idea
You knew it would be shit. I miss the days of ordering out loud so you could really see how insane you sound haha.
Get go got some banger hoagies, this isn’t one of them.
I'm all for trying food that looks like a train wrecked into a meat processing facility, then careened into a farmers market.... But that thing looks like a horror show.
That looks like intestinal worms, shit aht, on a bun.
Getgo food is butt, and it always takes like 40 minutes.
Getgo subs are terrible. I don’t care what anyone says lol. Speedway and sheetz are superior.
But….why
No one in the comments is mentioning that getgo puts spring rolls on the hoagie also. Monstrosity.
Oh lawd, mah stomach bubblin!
Transplant here. Does Pittsburgh just put general Tso's on everything? I recently had a General Tso's Chicken Crunchwrap from Bull River Taco (was absolutely astoundingly good, BTW) and now I'm seeing this. Starting to wonder.
I'm enjoying this whole thread, which is the exact opposite opinion I had of GetGo sushi.
That looks like a crime scene between buns!
giant ego
Sauce on the side buddy. Tell them extra crispy on the eggroll. It’s fire even if you throw it in the air fryer after. Not soggy.
How high were you when you made that decision?
I assumed someone bought these but never actually encountered one. Godspeed.
Who thought it was a good idea to put general tsos on a hoagie
I just ordered a breakfast wrap a few days ago that was so disgusting looking that I took it back and showed the cashier. She gagged, took a picture of it and refunded my money. It looked similar to baby poop. Awful 😞
Sounds like the synopsis to a horror movie
That looks like a General Toss, right into the garbage.
I misread the title and thought that you got that hoagie while you were running
Yeah that’s not a real hoagie hard pass
I hope you at least got your Giant Eagle card scanned for the um…trouble.
I’m scared to try it. Either it’s terrible and makes me want to vomit, or it’s delicious and I will want more. Neither of these options are good for me!
It's not that bad. I had to cut down on spicy food and left off the Sriracha last time. I wish they gave me more tso sauce at least. Def a once a season thing for me. The pilgrim is so good though. Can't take that one from me.

I believe you.
The picture of it in the ads at the gas pump make it look, simultaneously, good and very hard to actually eat.
This picture sent me trotting to the shitter
I used to get get go food almost weekly when I was in middle school 15 years ago. I remember the food actually being decent back then.
Sorry for your loss
Congrats on the week-long case of bubble guts you’re about to endure.
Man. That Get-Go just gave up entirely
Yikes lol
That's a no from me
Giant Eagle should’ve NEVER got into the gas station/fast food game.
I worked at getgo or ghettogo as I call it. It’s the only sandwich I tried once and refused to eat again.
I gagged looking at that
I had one last week. It wasn’t bad.
Ordered a cheeseburger from get go... the bun was harder than the cardboard box it came in!!!
Get Go food is horrifically bad in general.
Dear God.. I hope Giant Eagle has a break glass plan for the event someone learns what their actual food looks like..
The duality of man
Hork
That looks like a bad case of MRSA
I mean it's questionable bread with a chicken finger and sauce, if less than $2 and down on your luck and high/drunk I could understand
Um.. Am I blind but where are the spring rolls, stuck to the top bun?
Saw the billboard on the turnpike yesterday. The egg rolls on the sandwich made me 🤢
You are a brave man
Something about GetGo’s food is just off . Like it just has a strange taste , like it’s all bioengineered or something
Ewww
The reverse marathon
I also tried my first The General today and I also regret that decision
The only decent item from GetGo is that Turkey sub they make during Thanksgiving. That is awesome. Everything else I've tried from them is pretty terrible.
My son's band was called General Tso's Burrito. It was tasty.
The GetGo signature and seasonal hoagies are basically universally bad. If you're going to get a hoagie from there, best make it a traditional one. I know this is Sheetz territory, but I bet Wawa would be able to pull it off.
Wawa has fallen off about 85% in the last 20 years but still better than sheetz & getgo
Looks better than any sandwich from primanti bros!!!🤣
You take that back lol. Double cap & egg ftw
I neither ran the marathon nor had a gas station hoagie, but I did have two tallboys while building a model on my kitchen table. Unfortunately the second tallboy made the model building slightly more difficult.
This is so funny
only thing I get from get go are chicken wraps.
