Google ciggy bombs and youll have about 50% of your answer. Foods is palatable people are nice place is clean, everything else is subjective opinions.

The new place on the block, especially one with such a massive social media presence, is bound to draw all manner of debate.

The food is meh. Got it twice when he was still doing pop ups and it wasn't worth the money or the process either time. I can make a better steak and cheese in my skillet at home for a lot less money and time.

When you add so much additional things, it’s no longer a steak and cheese

People in this city hate everything that’s new and edgy but want to also complain about nothing changes in the city. It’s a vicious cycle of self-loathing.

I was with a person who asked for their cheese steak sans onions, and they got shamed by the staff for it. I enjoyed my sub, but havent been back since.

The owner is a jerk. He blocks the entrance of my apartment building chain smoking. I asked him if he could not do it right in-front of the door and he said, no. Rude acts like he owns the block.

it's because it got really popular. So now there's backlash from people saying its overrated.

Saw someone on Google give them a one star review just by reading the other reviews... people just love a hate train

I tried to get a water there, paid or not, and they wouldn't let me. Tried pushing their crappy soda brand instead. Haven't been back since.

Alot of the hate for the food is too much, ziggy tho, I used to work for him and he was a nightmare, most of the girls I worked with spent half the shift crying because of how tense it was and he'd comment on the girls who were definitely too young, its a pretty small city so id bet half the hate is for the sandwiches and half is for him

I feel like I would have liked them a little better if they toasted their bread. Sandwich places that sell you hot sandwiches with cold bread is a big no no for me (and everyone else in my family because we went to Ziggy bombs once and collectively decided that was enough).

No sir their sandwiches are just mediocre. I can get a better steak sandwich for my money at pickle barrel or central pizza or like 10 other places in like a 2 mile radius from Ziggy bombs.

I think you've got your answer. Overhyped , mediocre food whose owner isn't liked.

FWIW, I think the food there is fine. It's not the best, it's not the worst. I probably wouldn't regularly spend $17+ on a steak and cheese but if you want to occasionally treat yourself to something that will taste as unhealthy as it is, it fits the bill. I think they built a really tight brand that they've been able to grow and grow into, and it helped them gain a loyal following early. Their hype may have been manufactured (when it was still just a truck people would wait an hour for their sandwich when it should never take that long to churn out steak bombs) but it got them noticed and talked about. The owner might kinda suck as a person but that's a lot of restaurant workers. So in total I think people are just finding points about this place that they disagree with the most. There are definitely better spots in Worcester, and there are also worse ones.

I heard the owner is an ass because he wanted his own biological kids and his wife who had her own from another man didn't want more and he was a dick about it so she divorced him and now she's getting married to another man soon and he's jealous because she was the love of his life. She was much younger than him supposedly so these creep comments aren't surprising.

Used to get Ziggy Bombs regularly when it was just the truck. I don't know why but the sandwiches seemed to taste better before the store opened. Whether it was because they weren't trying to push many out at once or some other reason I don't know. Though the reason I stopped going was less about the taste and more just how the owner acts sometimes. I'll wish him nothing but the best of luck but right now I just don't feel like driving down to the area to get a steak and cheese. Maybe during the Woosox season I'll stop in and see if things have changed at all.
