Never been inside this location, only the one that was in San Marcos or Oceanside by the beach. This one is in a business park in the vista/cbad area. Good news for me, its empty in the night! I was the only customer in there so I got great one on one service. The place was clean, and even though no one was in there all staff members were working and cleaning. Nice! They care! I got the Turkey with Avacado. I would of taken a picture of it but my dog came along and ate the top half right off, true story. I was mad, because I was hungry, and it was delicious! Well thanks guys, me and indie give it two paws up. read more

Yum! First time here and got the meatball sub ~ it was perfectly toasted, a large portion and freakin' delicious! Very pleasant staff as well. I will be back! read more

This is the best sub shop in California! The secret is the bread. The bread makes such a huge difference to the overall taste of an excellent sandwich. The generous portions of meat, cheese and toppings of your choice make each sandwich an event. When in California I always make it a point to come here. Great food and great prices is always a good choice. read more

I really don't understand the hate for this location. Now my turn. I drive all around San Diego and North County fixing computers and I need my food to be mobile and good as I have no time for food usually, and I love a good sandwich. With that said this is absolutely my preferred Submarina to go to in all of San Diego. For the food prep hater's, whatever make your own food. For the price hater's, this location actually puts ingredients on a sandwich so you have something more than bread. Most Submarina's don't, and definitely stupid Subway. I'm hungry and I need a meal damit! For busy hater's, yeah it's a business area, go right at lunch time and it's going to be busy. Duh. Since deli's are all the rage in business parks, for a Submarina to be busy I think that says something. Every time I've been there I'm met with a good attitude, even tho I'm in a cranky bitch mood I get an awesome sandwich that I am only too happy to pay for because it's a proper meal. My go to is the 'California 12" half wheat and half white with everything but olives combo . Yes, it gets busy at lunch time, so does the Taco Bell and Jack. Oh, and there is Taco Bell and Jack in the Box in the same small mall. So the whole place is busy at lunch time. If you want a good sub and willing to pay for it go here. If your picky about your food being a certain way, go home and make it yourself. You only hold up the line with your wah wah order anyway. And if you are leaving a review, feel free to use the spell check button. It makes it easier to read your review while trying to understand your point about the one time you went somewhere and because of you it sucked. read more

Great quality fresh 12" squaw bread with tuna,avocado ,lettuce ,tomato , small bag of chips and small fountain drink. If this sounds like something you would order , bring $19 and change, because that was the total. Pricing needs some work to be competitive. The bread is a little different, the toppings are the same, and the decor is the same as Sub-way. The only thing that sets the two sandwich shops apart are the prices. For the price difference in sandwiches, I will be taking my business elsewhere for the same product at a better value. read more

Really good quality ingredients. The subs taste way better than Jersey Mikes or Subway.

Great sub shop in the vista business park area. The customer service is always top notch. They go above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. Plus everything I've ordered has been delicious. The salads are packed with flavor and I love the sourdough bread. I'll be back for sure. read more

Wonderful sub shop. I am gluten free and their gluten free bread was excellent. My wife's sub was real packed with meat and her roll was delicious. Highly recommend read more

This is no longer a submarina, but still a sub shop. I work down the road and stop in often. The sandwiches are great and the people are nice, but they just got rid of their WIFI hotspot and they play church music through the restaurant. Now, I can deal without WIFI, but I don't go to a sandwich shop to listen to songs about someone's invisible friend. To me, that is becoming enough for me to avoid the place in the future. read more

This place is amazing!! Great service. Food is super fresh. Great avocado and bacon cooked to your liking. Bread was fresh and the subs are very big for the buck! Music was awesome too!!!! Great place. You won't regret it!!!! read more

It's not a bad place for a sandwich. Bread was fresh and had the tuna which can be hit or miss and it was on point. Our table also had a turkey sandwich and a meatball sandwich. Service was "super friendly", the staff was nice. Only set back was that for two six inch sandwiches, a nine inch sandwich, 3 bags of chips, 2 fountain drinks and a Gatorade it was $39! Starting to wonder if there was an error?? read more

Stopped by perfect subs today because I found a coupon BOGO i got a BLT with Avo on sourdough toasted and a Cali on wheat. A lil too much mayo on both made my blt a lil soggy. Tomato did look soggy in the container they have. Fast & friendly service for sure ! My blt was alright my boyfriend said the cali was alright too. Fair price for both subs and a chip so can't really complain. May try again. read more

Never posted a bad review but this place deserves it. Went in around lunch time surprisingly not busy. And this young lady seemed like everything was bothering her while listening to my order. I was never rude or anything but she had attitude. read more

My wife and I work about 5-min away from this location and we typically stop in about once a week to pick up lunch. The (high) quality of the food is only over-shadowed by the exceptional service of the staff! The owner (Joshua) is always on-site when we have visited and sets the example for his employee's. A message to Joshua's employee's; I have over 30-years of experience in providing excellent customer service. When you leave Joshua's employment take the skill's that he has taught you and apply them at whatever business you go to and you WILL be successful! Signed, Chad (The guy that likes EXTRA mayo) and Janet. PS Joshua's "personal" preference for a hot pastrami sandwich is excellent! 2018 Update: Though I've always liked Submarina (Almost as much as I liked Agrusa's); It seems to me that "corporate" sucked the life/profit out of their franchisers and Submarina will soon cease to exist in the San Diego area. Now that Joshua isn't having to play/pay by the rules that "corporate" imposes; The quality is the same (if not better) and we're happy to support a small business owner. Chad (The guy that likes EXTRA mayo) and Janet. read more

Worst sandwich experience ever dude making my sandwich looked like he didn't know what he was doing and the girl was super rude throwing my sandwich and bacon like it's trash will never come back to this place also they put the bread in the oven too long ,should be called shittysubs read more

Staff is extremely friendly- nothing but good vibes at this place. Subs are great, way better than anything at Subway. ATC is my favorite- they pack on the ingredients- worth every penny. Hope this place continues to do well! read more

Was really pleased with my first experience here today! Quick service, clean interior, and a really great sandwich. Definitely coming back and ordering more for the family! read more

Super great customer service n support. i come n the morning for a slammin breakfast sandwich. the young bright girl is soo kind n humble n attends all with excellent customer service. keep up the great job! thxz read more

Great BLT and peppered turkey, and there's a jalapeno bacon option which is really good. Just as good as or better than before the name change. read more

Food is okay... good enough to satisfy an itch if you have a craving and can't make it up to Hungry Bear. The kids don't seem to follow their own listed recipes, which is annoying, so be vigilant to get what you want. Overall, the sandwiches seem to be fresh and I liked the bread, but the flavors are missing something. Italian was best thing I've had here, and it was 2.5 stars. read more

Very dissapointed... I have been coming to this location for over 10 years; the staff is always friendly, the food quality is top-notch, and with my gluten allergy, this team has been great at providing me their sandwiches as a 'salad', for the same price. I visited the location on August 26, 2015, and ordered the California Sub, includes Turkey, Avocado, and Bacon, which was priced at $6.49. When the store owner rang my total, he charged me $9.21. When I challenged the price, the owner said "Due to the cost of vegetables, you have to pay this amount." Paying $3.00 just to have my sub turned into a salad was preposterous, and in my opinion, discriminatory. I would be happy to eat a sub if I wasn't allergic to the bread. None of the less, the owner 'did not back down', even after communicating my regular attendance, and pricing I was charged these past 10 years. What really struck me was the 'lack of customer service' that the owner exuded. Being in the customer service industry for over 20 years, I feel he could have easily accommodated my complaint, and clarified in the future the 'inflated pricing' of a product that isn't justified. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location, as this left such a bad mark / experience with me. Way to go, dude. read more

I really hate that I have to write this review because the owner was so incredibly nice, and his staff were extremely kind when I placed an order over the phone yesterday. However I got food poisoning yesterday from a turkey sub. One of my co workers got food poisoning from the turkey at Submarina a few months ago, but I figured it was maybe a fluke. Nope! No more than a hour after I ate my sub I felt sick, and the rest of the night was horrible. Next morning and I still have awful stomach pains. My other co worker got the Italian and I think he is fine, so maybe stay away from the turkey. read more

I consider Yelp a fun thing and in a world of negativity I really try to keep my reviews light. With that being said I HATE that I'm writing this review but Donnice R. at this location made going in to get a fast sandwich such an irritating experience that an hour and a half later I'm still mad. She was so damn rude to her coworkers I wanted to say something to her and now that I'm gone from there I wish I had. I'm seriously considering going back to this shop tomorrow with the hopes that she's just as rude to the guys she works with so I can call her out on it. It's got to be horrible working with her and I feel really bad for the three guys behind the counter who have to put up with her sarcastic remarks. I was there about 10 min and I wanted to punch her in the face. "Oh, well if you're not going to do it right I'll just do it myself." "Can you just get out of my way so I can handle this?" "Did you put the bacon in for my salad or did you forget again?" "Are you going to finish making that or do I have to do it myself." Until she no longer is in the building it would be best that I never go back there. read more

Their pork fajita sandwich was delicious. Customer service was excellent. Next time instead of accidentally turning into this parking lot while in search for another establishment that Apple maps failed to navigate me to, I'll intentionally re-visit this Submarina. read more

Don't eat here. they are busy only because of the location. this place is not clean, they use the same knives for every sandwich, the rags that they wipe things down are not clean. yuck. read more

Don't waste your money with this sad excuse of a business. My wife and I had promised my son a submarina sandwich cause he's been asking for about a week now. We got to this place with 15 mins left til close. They had already packed everything away and were quick to tell us that everything was already packed away and that they would have to get everything out again. The lady told us 3 times that everything was put up in less than 1 minute and then was shocked that we told her to not bother we would go elsewhere. Horrible business etiquette, Apparently they hadn't had a customer in hours. I can see why. read more

I love their wraps! I'm a calorie counter/healthy eater so I'd love a sourdough sandwich trust me but I think the wraps are great! Add some sprouts, green peppers, spinach & cucumber & you'll be full! Only downfall in my opinion is the parking situation & complex location, I only go there if I'm doing a Target shop. read more

Bread was badly burned and completely overpriced. They don't live up to the name. I'm just hoping that one day if so keep trying this place out they'll get it right. read more

Just tried perfectsubs for the first time. I liked the bread but everything else was very average at best. I think there is much better in the sub world. Price verses what I got does not call for a return visit. PS I'm not sure they know what pastrami is... it isn't the same as corned beef! read more

The employees here only put forth about 50% effort. They are just going through the motions. i was extremelly unhappy. i ordered a salad which was small and of far inferior quality to any other submarina. i asked if the had any better lettuce and they just said they could mix some spinach in. i said ok. the employee took about 5 spinach leaves and set them on top. last i knew setting a couple leaves on top is not mixing. dont waste your time with this place. drive a little further and go to the submarina on sycamore or melrose in vista. they always always top notch. read more

Great sandwiches on very fresh bread (or you can get salads too). Size options avail to any appetite. Beats typical chains with 'clean' flavors and items. Great staff. read more

Today was an errand day, so we wanted to to stop and grab a bite without fuss. Target was on our list, so we stopped at Submarina which is right there. I live close but have not tried this place, though my sister did several years ago and said it was quite good. We were underwhelmed, but frankly that wasn't the worse part. Let me say that I am essentially a vegetarian, so I went for the vegi sub. My sister is not and she ordered something with meat. They made hers first, and followed with mine. Once mine was made the employee picked up the same knife that was used by the other employee on my sister's sandwich (and not cleaned) and sliced my sandwich. There was only one other knife there, which was caked with food. It really turned my stomach. To add to the question of how clean this place is - neither employee wore gloves nor a hair guard. Additionally, I opted out of mayonaise because there were about a dozen bits of bacon in there - it actually looked like they "cleaned" the knives by rubbing it against the edge of the mayonaise container, where the bits of bacon built up. To add to this - they do not anything down between your bread and the counter (think a piece of waxed paper might be nice), and they slide the bread down as it goes by each option. I ended up taking off the bread, and eating only the part where the knife had not touched. It was less than a pleasant experience, and I would not go there again. I am actually quite annoyed at myself for not saying something at the time. read more

This is one of my favorite places to stop on lunch during the work week. The service is fast and the sandwiches good. My favorite is the Santa Fe sandwich with chipotle mayo. This place is WAY better than subway. read more

I recently discovered this sub shop by my work and I've been coming here pretty much every other day since. The food is great, when you walk in the place smells amazing and the staff is SOOOO NICE! Obviously I'm a returning customer. I'm about to go grab some lunch from there now! read more

This location was a convenient stop while I was out and about in Vista. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the line moved quickly. I was able to get in and out quickly, which was good since I was on my way to an appointment. I got the Cali sandwich on squaw bread. The bread was fresh, as were all of the toppings. I would come back to this location of Submarina. read more

Stopped by here today for lunch (11/15). Was surprised (happily) that this is basically a knock off of Submarina which I used to love when I lived by one. Prices were reasonable, service was fast but only gets 3 stars because just like another reviewer said below, the lettuce was wilted and pink. Also the avocado wasn't fully ripe. I see the owner below respond from three weeks ago to another review complaining about this and stating that this wouldn't happen again but the lettuce again was pink and wilted today. I was disappointed as I love fresh shredded lettuce on my sandwich over leafy greens but my sandwich has not lettuce. read more

Great Sandwich! I have past this place many times. NEVER AGAIN! one of the best sandwich places hands down. Try the peppered Cali on Squaw bread..you wont be disappointed. Awesome Sammy! Yum Yum read more

This is a great place to buy a delicious sub! Very clean! Service is fantastic. Bread is wonderful and toppings very fresh with lots of choices! read more

First time coming to this sandwich shop and I'm pretty impressed. The food was really good quality and tasty. I did however see someone comment how the lettuce was turning pink, I could definitely see how they thought the lettuce was bad. I can add that the banana peppers didn't look amazing either, but the sub I ordered still tasted amazing. I got the ATC on white and I will definitely be returning. One other thing though, the price is a little high for a sub. I mean, it is a big sub, but there are a few other sandwich shops in the area that are cheaper and great quality as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to a friend, but I would tell them it may be pricey. Then again, you get what you pay for! read more

Really nice & friendly staff, clean & everything tastes fresh. Their Italian is awesome but my fav is the Peppered Turkey ATC on squaw bread. read more
