2 reviews for Larkin's Famous Subs
This sub shop is one of the best kept secrets in Orlando. If you are in the Conway or Orlando airport area, you've got to check them out. I'm not sure if anyone knows about this place unless you've been referred to by someone that knows about them.
The subs are all the same size, but they have some great specialities like the grouper sub and the beef tenderloin sub. Their meatball sub has pepperoni and american cheese on top of it, and their chicken cordon blue sandwich is great too. The meats are sliced fresh every day. I could see the meat slicer in the back!
It's a little pricey for a sub, they run about $8 a pop, with no option for a half or a whole, so you'll spend about $10 with a drink, and the subs come with chips at no extra charge.
If you are a really hungry after getting out of the airport, go check this place out, but it's only open until 3pm and closed on Sundays.
Established in 1981, this sub shop is well known to immediate locals and probably no one else.
The interior looks like a boat house, with dark wood beams lining the ceiling and walls, fishing nets, model ships and old faded pictures on the wall.
The menu is subs, subs and more subs. Well, not that many. But they do feature some not so common choices e.g. a grouper sub, or a BBQ pork sub. Both of these are only available one day of the week.
The subs at Larkin's do not come in "inches", they come by the pound. A weird concept, but essentially the bread is all the same length, but the amount of meat they give you can vary between a lot and not a lot.
Most of the common sub options are available--ham, turkey, tuna, roast beef, etc. They also have greek salad and a few other odds n ends. Yesterday I got a turkey, bacon, & roast beef sub. It was good quality meat, and stacked high at $7.95 (the large size sub). I could only eat 1/2 of it. I asked the owner for banana peppers and was given greek peppers. Umm...
They do not advertise at all, which might explain why you've never heard of them. They also do 30% of their business via catering to local businesses. The other 30% might be from little league teams?
A different kind of sub shop. Check them out if you're in the Conway area, or on your way to OIA. Be forewarned that they close at 3pm and are not open on Sunday.
