9 reviews for Mr. Submarine
It's 2 am. You're feeling the effects of one too many beers (sadly for me that's only about three), and then you realize you never ate dinner. Not really that big of a deal, except that I'd like to keep drinking.
What's a girl to do?
Grab an equally ravenous/tipsy friend and cross the street to Mr. Submarine!
Look, it's not the prettiest of sandwich shops... it lives in a strip mall on a somewhat bleak stretch of Lincoln. But at this time of night, there's nothing more beautiful than an 'open' sign. And they serve hungry imbibers like me 'til the wee hours: 4 am on the weekends!
The food... my guy pal had a gyros sub (sounds scary, but he liked it) and I went with the classic turkey: lettuce, cheese and some special sauce. Didn't taste anything too 'special', but that may be attributed to the liberal dousing of oil and vinegar. Yikes!
Still pretty good though... and the chow served its purpose: I was able to drink one more beer following my sustenance transplant. And that was all I needed.
Yeah it's cheap. And the place looks really crappy: dirty tables, crappy signs and decor, sticky here and there...But it's a really great place for cheap subs especially if you're going late at night. My personal favorite is the roast beef which for whatever reason is REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY good. Some sort of crazy trade secret maybe but either way, tasty. (Warm or cold, I prefer warm.)
I'm a night owl and often looking for someplace to eat (if you haven't noticed) really late. They have more non traditional sandwiches as well as your basic turkey type subs. I've heard a lot of bad crap about the people who work there but maybe they're not going late enough because I've run into both a man and a younger woman who work there and both were really nice, hooked up the sandwiches with a LOT of meat and didn't seem like total jackasses like some people have said. I mean mind you this place isn't PACKED with customers or anything but there's always some little hole in the wall where either way the person serving you can't wait to get you the hell out of there. I mean, I've had even some really shitty asshole service at Susie's too, but either way it's good food. (At both places)
Not a place to sit down and relax on a lunch/dinner date but all the better then that you can take it to go!
Good deal here. I got a regular size hot roast beef sandwich, chips, and a 16oz drink meal. It was yummy. I would return again.
There isn't a lot of seating so I guess most people get it to go. There are maybe like 3 tables.
So this is not 5-star restaurant but it's quite tasty and I would return in the future. I ordered a turkey sub. There weren't quite enough veggies so next time I'd ask for extra veggies but it was good anyway. The place wasn't too clean, though. Our table was dirty and the man who took our order wasn't particularly friendly.
I really needed something to eat, so I unfortunately pulled into the first place I saw. This place was just awful! There was a creepy old man hanging out in the farthest booth. No food, drink, nothing. Just hanging out. Maybe the Mr. Submarine mascot?
I ordered the turkey sub, which was edible but at the most just OK. It filled my belly with the nourishment I needed and @ $5.50 with a drink, you can't beat that with a bat.
In my never-ending quest to locate hidden gems I gave this place a shot despite my better judgement. wow.
The place is filthy, the tables all have gang tags scratched into the tables, the menu pictures are black & white, circa 1988. The guy working was anti-social and looked like he longed for the sweet embrace of death. Believe it or not, this is not a deal-breaker with me yet.
We put in a to go order (no way we were eating there) which only included sandwichs because their fryer was "down" and so consequently half the menu was unavailable. Okay. It takes about 10 more minutes to get the subs (there was no line or any other orders). We get back home & sandwichs are not only wrong but there's barely any meat even.
This place is cheap, and always empty for a reason. Steer clear & spend the extra $5 & 15 minutes to go to Suzie's and be satisfied.
I like the Mr. Sub Sub. It's yummy. It's definately not healthy, but eh...I LOVE their fries and I've never had bad service. Actually the ladies that work there at night are really friendly. I also like that they make the fries fresh!
This place is a bargain. The bread is actually edible, and they don't skimp on veggies. Great & fast service is guaranteed after 6 p.m. There are not many people working behind the counter, but they do their best to service you quick. A great big sandwich that actually fills you up (try that with Subway) with soda and warm fries, and you're set to go. They are open till 3 or 4 am which is grate if you need to grab something in the middle of the night and McD's just won't do it.
"Mr. Submarine another fine artery clogging place! They have a pretty good selection of really good and I really good fries. You can a host of subs and sammiches from the pepper and egg sub or just plain traditional turkey or meatball subs and they also have the standard meat laced ones too. Just as a not during the no school months be aware of the "gang banger fourteen year olds" hanging out like flies around... anyway, it's got decent food for the cost and I'd recommend using drive thru and getting it to go.
