Kelly the Dog Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 As a companion piece to the Pizzeria thread, what is the best sub you have ever had? My favorite is the Super Royal from John and Mary's, with a close second being a double steak, cheese and sweet peppers from Jim's Steakout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Far and away....Primos. I believe they originated in Philly. They are a chain, but have top quality rolls, meat, and cheese, and pack it full. Fresh toppings as well. https://www.primohoagies.com Edited January 19, 2018 by RaoulDuke79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Used to get a ham and turkey club sub from Jim’s Steakout on Delaware after last call in my youth that was delicious. Also got a steak sub from Bozana’s on Camp Rd one time that I still remember to this day. It was good, but more memorably, it was like 15 lbs of meat. Took me 3 days to eat it.

For me, Jim's are just as good or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 John and Mary’s was always the gold standard for me, but I have a new(ish) personal favorite. Valentino’s in Sarasota FL has the best Italian sub I can remember. The bread is key, but it’s all around perfection for my taste. I happen to be in town, and have to get there before I leave. I know there are a few guys not too far away. If you haven’t tried it, make the effort. It’s also two meals for me....unless I’m starving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have great subs, especially the rolls. Great food all around. If I had to have one, I'd still go J&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t had J&M for decades, so I can’t say. I don’t remember them as having the same quality of bread, but I’ve got no clue....just happy memories.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I don’t know if it’s a New England thing or a Vermont thing, but they love to put shredded cabbage on subs here. At first I was appalled and wouldn’t try it. It since has grown on me. Adds a nice crunch to the sandwich. As long as the cabbage is shredded super thin. At most places it’s either cabbage or romaine leaves. No shredded iceberg. Not a big fan of romaine on my sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Great, now I have to add J&M to my list of must have foods when I get back for a game next season.... So much food, so little time... 2 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: I don’t know if it’s a New England thing or a Vermont thing, but they love to put shredded cabbage on subs here.

It doesn’t change the flavor much, I’d expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Almost every hole-in-the-wall joint in Philadelphia. Loaded Italian, sweet or pork and greens with a sharp cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A little sub shop where I grew up, so small they don't even have a webpage, just a facebook page, place is called Mr. Sub. I'd always get the Super Italian. Loaded with meats and veggies. Have never found any other place that gives as much on a sub as they do. https://www.facebook.com/sherriesmrsubpulaski/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simool Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) If I am anywhere near St. Louis I will go out of my way for Eovaldi's on the Hill. The Extra Special is probably the best I have had hands down. http://www.delionthehill.com/ A close second is Fraboni's in Downtown Madison, WI https://www.frabonisdeli.com/ Edited January 19, 2018 by simool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) My favorite for a long time, many years ago, used to be at Mike's subs at the Delaware Ave./Lincoln Blvd. location in Kenmore. Maybe that was the only location back then? Maybe that is the only location now!? They did a steak and cheese that was lovely, based mostly around the meat they used, which is what I would call "real steak" like a thin but meaty piece of sirloin steak. I.E., they didn't use paper thin "Steak-ums" or whatever that crap is like most all other sub places. I used to get tomatoes, lettuce, steak, cheese, oil, salt... They were always well seasoned and dammit....I am hungry right now and can taste one! Wonder when I last ate one at that location. May well have been 25-30 years ago. The fact I can still remember them well speaks to their quality. Edited January 19, 2018 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
