Reviews
While adorable I don’t review resteraunts based on stories being told, I rate them based on the food and unfortunately this place is bare bones.
First, it is not a sub shop, it’s a sandwich shop, even the Google description calls it a sandwich shop.
They are all very simple, which would make sense for the cheap prices. Cheap bread, cheap cheese, cold cut meats. They are practically the same premade sandwiches you can find at QFC for $5
The Google menu is completely wrong, which is why I went there in the first place, expecting subs/variety.
Instead it was like making a basic sandwich at home. Bread, mayo/mustard, cheese and a meat.
His only recommendation is the 6 meat sandwhich. Could take it or leave it. Just a mass amount of cold cuts.
If I had a couple of bucks in my pocket and wanted to get rid of them this is probably the place I’d go.
Because it’s cash only….
But I would much rather spend more money on a place with better variety and quality.
I only stumbled upon it while walking a new route, but I’m sure glad I did!
The owner was a very nice gentleman who clearly had seen the changes of the times in that area and seemed extremely happy to share a piece of history with me. As I was reading the signs of his accomplishments, I saw they had been open 40 years now!
Before he even came out to greet me, I knew that a shop that hidden away with only 1 man running the show doesn’t stay in business that long if he’s bad at what he does.
Big point of note here, he is cash only. I had $13.50 on me which net me a turkey and ham sub with a can of coke.
Point of note, there’s no prices I saw on most of the items. I honestly couldn’t tell you what things cost here. When he asked how much I had, I told him the amount and he looked at it for a moment and then decided on what I was going to order for me based on that. ♂️ Trust. Who am I to question a man who’s run the game this long?
So I sit at the lonely square table that was kind of crooked as to compensate for the interior design and wait in anticipation to find out what I’m even getting. I’m used to at least having a size chart for my fluctuating hunger and poverty levels.
While making the sub we talk about his wall of masks from various cultures. Opposite of that, clocks. He joked that people always think he’s an antique store seller which… Yep I could see that. But honestly it was cool, gave the place a very homelike quirky vibe that I really dug.
Finally the sub comes out and I see… Well… A sub. I worked at Quiznos for many years, I know a sandwich and from the outside, I can say it legally met all criteria of that which would define it as a sub.
This was all of the cash I had on me which meant I was now walking 3 miles to my house instead of taking the bus so it better be at LEAST on par with subway which… C’mon, not hard lol.
It didn’t seem like much, until I bit into it. Holy hell, I don’t know what combination of ingredients he used but clearly you don’t stay in business 40 years without knowing at least a couple secrets to your craft.
It was extremely light, like the bread was SOFT soft. Chewing a cloud soft. Didn’t fall apart in transit like you’d expect though. Everything he uses is fresh, never been frozen. Idk if he’s got butcher connections or what but I’m not gonna question the claim, I was in sandwich bliss.
Originally he had recommended the house special, the #15 to me. He was really excited about that one but I was a bit short. Instead all I got was a basic turkey and ham and even that didn’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to the next time I have a $20 on me to see where it goes from here!
