Don't understand rejection
I really don't understand the rejection on this one. The rejection email mentions that the real world location appears to have explicit or inappropriate activity. It's a simple, local, unique and popular sandwich shop. People come here all day long to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are a lot of businesses nearby so a lot of people come to grab a bite to eat. I had to stop by really early to find the parking lot empty enough to take a picture. The first time I was rejected for a visible license plate in the picture. This time, I'm really confused as to the problem. Considering some of the places I see accepted as stops these days...so many neighborhood pizza places and coffee shops. This shop definitely deserves to be accepted if they do.
Any ideas why this would have been rejected?

Generic "local restaurant" nomination, with some "generic" nomination text. "Popular local sandwich shop" is never going to get this accepted. As usual with these nominations, we need to see if it has won any awards, is it featured in restaurant guides, what makes it special. You have to really prove your restarant nomination is worthwhile to get it accepted, thats the way it it.
The "explicit activity" reason is some reviewers mistaking/misusing the "Location Inappropriate" reason as a generic "this just isn't a good Wayspot" button.
You need to try harder for this to have any chance. Why would I go to this restaurant and not the one around the corner? You need to show this thing is relevant.
were they mentioned for prizes
do they organise Or participate in local m/special events
....
just some random sandwich place doesn’t cut it.
When passing restaurants/bars through here in the US, I've had my best success when I include three things in the supporting info: a column the local paper, a food blog article, and the aggregated rating from a community-review site like Yelp or TripAdvisor, all with links. I can rave as much as I want about the food/drink at my nomination. but I'm just some Joe on the Internet who has some implied bias to promote that nomination. Reviewers seem to like positive feedback from third-party sources.
For your particular nomination, here's a link in the local paper talking about "a beauty of a cuban sandwich" from there.
And a local food blogger's article here.
