Original review: Basically a copy-cat of Subway right next to a Jimmy John’s. I thought the meat and the cheese were better quality than Subway’s – less processed, tasted more fresh. The meat at Subway often seems pressed together or reformed, but this seemed sliced. To my surprise, the man at the register popped my sandwich into a plastic bag. I had planned to eat inside the restaurant, so a takeaway bag was unnecessary. A gentleman at another table was also sitting there with a just-emptied plastic bag. Wasteful – plastic bags are supposed to be 5 cents in Colorado, plus you should only provide a bag if someone ASKS for one. They were quick and fast, friendly. Just automatons when it comes to unnecessary plastic waste. The bathroom was clean.
They don’t seem to keep many staff on at the same time, 2-3 at any given point, so there’s times where it gets busy and your wait time will go up accordingly. They’re always as pleasant as can be expected of the situation, and unlike other joints they actually try to make conversation while making everything. Some of the classic subs are a little light, like the #12 and the #15. I recommend the meatball or all-american on their white/wheat bread if you go in, especially the All-American with Chipotle Mayo. Just be quick on the toppings or else it won’t be as hot by the end.
I’ve been eating Port of Subs since the 90s. I always hoped they’d open one in Colorado so when I saw a private equity firm bought it, I was devastated but also happy that there’d be one out here that I could enjoy before they completely went down the drain. Seems like it’s already happening and it’s only been a couple months. Private equity ruins everything it touches, ie Joanns, Red Lobster, Party City, etc. No doubt my beloved Port of Subs will be on that list soon enough.
It’s just sad and I’m sad about it already.
And since I’m complaining, the location sucks. The parking is atrocious. Sure, it’s visible from the street but that’s about the only good thing to say about the location.
Attempt #1: Teriyaki Chicken Griller.
Calling this “teriyaki” feels legally questionable. The sauce tasted like someone described teriyaki to a guy who’s never actually had it. Sweet? Sure. Savory? Not even a little. And the chicken? The texture was… unsettling. Like it had secrets. Slightly slimy, vaguely suspicious, and absolutely not something I’d voluntarily eat again. I’ve had better teriyaki from a mall food court five minutes before closing.
Attempt #2: The “Gourmet” Grilled Cheese
The audacity. The confidence. The boldness of putting the word gourmet in front of what is essentially cafeteria-level deli cheese between basic bread is honestly inspiring.
There is no grill involved. None. Zero. This sandwich gets tossed into a microwave like it’s being punished. The cheese melts just enough to pretend it tried. By the time you sit down, it’s already cold. No crunch. No golden crust. No buttery crisp. Just soft, sad bread hugging melted mediocrity.
I’ve made better grilled cheese at 2 a.m. with one eye open and no groceries.
I really wanted to support a new local spot. I walked in hopeful. I left confused. Twice.
At this point, if I want a hot sandwich, I’ll just stand outside in the sun holding a Lunchable. At least that has consistent standards.
Two visits. Two disappointments. My sandwich era at Port of Subs has officially ended. At least the people were friendly there.
