PastaJoe Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I remember having jreck subs in college at Oswego. Sucked! But when you have no $, ya gotta eat cheap. I actually like Jrecks. Whole sub for $5 on Saturdays. Sometimes it depends on the person making the sub. But when I want some leftover for the next day I get Wegmans Danny's Favorite.
GOBILLS78 Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Up until about a decade ago, Sunset Bay Deli.
Beerball Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I had the unfortunate experience of visiting a Subway last week. Ohio subs are weak sauce. I miss real subs as much as I miss real pizza. Favorite sub in WNY? 1. Wegmans 2. Pino's 3. Nino's DiBella's in Dublin is the only place in the area that I go, great bread.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 DiBella's is very average, IMO. The bread is good, but not really a fan of any of their subs. Their cheese steak is especially weak. Not sure they are around anymore, but growing up, Arivederci's in the village of Fairport was our staple. Great Italian subs.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I, my wife and my two daughters say to you My wife says the same thing to (about subs and other things)--she's a bigger fan than me. Kinda curious what you get there? Anytime I go, I get the chicken philly on sesame-- like I said, decent, but not going to be in my top-5 list or anything.

At DiBella's I always get the godfather, wifey too. The girls split a chicken Caesar sub and a cheesesteak. The bread is very good and the ingredients also good...just wish they were more liberal with the meat.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Anyone try this "penn station"? For a chain, the subs aren't bad. I like them. They have a couple out here across the line in Indiana. Not bad, a bit pricey and smaller... BUT the smaller portion is probably better for my waste line, etc.. LoL ;-) Yet, that's like every place cutting their portions down. Now... The debate rages... What should they really be called? Hoagies, grinders, heros, subs... Etc... Now in WNY: Roz's (S.Cheektowaga off of French) has the best "royal sub"... Theirs is called a "Big Roz." Heart attack on a roll but to die for! People never heard of a royal sub and always give me an inquisitive look. It is Italian sausage (patty form), ham and cappicola... Then lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, oil, etc... Anybody else hear the term "royal"... My favorite sub! Edited September 29, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois

Violas- Double Steak and a cheese Costanzos- Steak and Cheese If you haven't had either if your life... Your missing out on something really special.

JR mentioned Penn Station (East Coast Subs) and they don't even have a classic royal on their menu. Yet, they will make one to order. Very specific. Gotta at least have capicola w/the sausage patty. Not really fancy as the name indicates, but the sausage in patty form. I get the same looks out here when I request vinegar for my french fries! LoL... Must be a WNY thing? Out here, the sandwich of choice around Chicago is the "Italian beef." Dry, wet, or dipped. I usually get the "combo." Combo is an Italian beef sandwich (sub form) w/also a link of Italian sausage.

The Poojer Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 D'OH!!!! How could i leave WaWa off the list.... WaWa has great subs/hoagies . . .

Can I go with Wegmans from 10 - 15 years ago? Back when you would get a WHOLE loaf of Italian bread for less than $10 for a whole sub. Firehouse Subs

Its still good but they don't make subs. its been 20 years since I've been there, so maybe things aren't as I remember them. He had a few display cases I thought might have been cold cuts. loved me some nice thick pizza pie.
plenzmd1 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Anyone try this "penn station"? For a chain, the subs aren't bad. Dude, these are the friggen best subs. I am addicted to their grilled italian. Now, i am one whoi likes a "hot " sub. Love the meat sliced as you order, the bread baked there, the freshness of the veggies, and the grilling process is just awesome. Yep, it takes about 5 minutes to get your sub, but ohhh so freaking good! I am not a big fries guy...but have had thise a couple of times and they are good as well. Hate Jimmy Johns, hate Subway. hate Quiznos....PennStation East Coast Subs all the way!!!! I miss real subs as much as I miss real pizza. So you grew up on NYC pizza? Cause to me that is real pizza, not the stuff from WNY
Chef Jim Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I actually like Jrecks. Whole sub for $5 on Saturdays. Sometimes it depends on the person making the sub. But when I want some leftover for the next day I get Wegmans Danny's Favorite. Leftovers??
