Stopped into Port of Subs for a quick lunch and honestly left way more impressed than I expected. People compare them to Subway, but this is much better than Subway. Everything is sliced fresh right in front of you, and you can taste the difference. Turkey Bacon Avocado and Classic #1 Sub were standouts. Their combos are a great deal, and I'm still thinking about the jumbo cookie I added on (no regrets). Service was friendly, fast, and the whole place felt clean and welcoming. A solid go-to spot when you want a fresh, loaded sub without the fuss. Be back for sure! read more

Port of Subs - #18 - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

See all

Dreary strip mall, dining room and sandwich. I didnt stop in because I like this place, I actually remember not liking Port of Subs in a different location. Yesterday I found my self near this location on the way home from the airport and was starving after a full morning of travel. The strip mall was bleak and I guess there must me a homeless camp near by. Most shops were closed on a Sunday so I made a quick choice of PoS over Starbucks. After I entered a homeless woman entered and had to plead her case to get a restroom key, as they kept them locked. They only had one and a restroom break was the second reason for stopping for lunch. She was in there the entire time. On to the sub, it was sad, flimsy, and flat. Squashed thin by the panini style sandwich warmer, only the microwave would have been a worse method to warm this sandwich, fatty pastrami didnt help. Service was just fine, but if I had to leave the owner some notes they would be clean the place up, declutter, and find a better lay out for your completely thoughtless covid compliant table layout. Eliminating seasonal decorations also might help in making the place look more fresh. You also have the wrong bread for a panini press. read more

Port of Subs - a display of food items - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

These guys 100% beat out Jersey Mike's and Jimmy John's!!!!! The bread is always fresh with meat and cheese sliced right to every order! Your money is well spent for what you get and there is loads of meat on your sandwich compared to other sub shops. Store is clean with upbeat and positive attitudes from the employees! Will definitely be coming back and ordering online to get the free sub and other deals:))) read more

Basically just subway but not Subway. Overall, it was a fine sandwich. Good freshly sliced deli meats, but wasn't anything to write home about. Service was good. quick. They have two separate sandwich lines in case it gets busy. I'd eat here again, but definitely won't be a regular. read more

Just moved in the area and decided to try Port of Subs. The staff was super friendly and were very helpful. In the middle of the lunch rush they took the time for me to order and explained the menu. I ordered the special turkey, avocado, and bacon. Wow was it ever good. The bread and ingredients were perfect and fresh. I have found my new sub place! On the way out talking with the staff I found out it was under new ownership. read more

Always so good! I had mine door dashed to me at work and the order was completely accurate. The sub I had was so fresh. I ended up ordering again two days later cause it was so yummy! read more

Another visit, this time eat in. I got a medium number one (Italian at other places) with four meats and one cheese, plus drink and chips for $10. Everything is always sliced fresh, as you order. The bread was fresh, the veggies crisp and with plentiful meats. There were 11 drinks available from the fountain and a dozen more in individual bottles. There were at least a dozen flavors of chips to choose from. The staff at this location were exceptional. As I ate in the half-full place at 11 AM, listening to their 80's music, it was clear the the manager, Megan, treated her crew well. They were skilled, engaged the customers and were efficient in every aspect. The restaurant was clean and comfortable too. Well done! read more

Came here on my lunch break and everyone working was super nice so 5 stars for customer service! There was nothing wrong with my sandwich but would not say it was great. I would definitely choose this over Subway any day but I feel like there are much better options for Sandwiches in the Tempe area. read more

Port of Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

dew bow bow.ooooooo yyyyeeeaaaa.....dew bow bow. This is the song that I should be singing, as I slowly enter the Port of Subs after deboarding the light rail. Port of Subs is my drug of choice, and eating such tasty subs makes me happy. I got 12 inches last night...12 inches of subs....and it tasted so good! nomnomnomnom! Port of Subs never fails me. Its just so good! All bread cooked on site, and not like the chain sub places, its actually really really good! I got the #18, lots of meat and whatever I wanted. Tasty! Thank you Port of Subs, thank you. Eating here makes my brain and stomach delightfully happy! read more

So according to a review Subway is better...that almost stopped me from going to this place for lunch. I ordered the #1 which was the Italian sub, I got it on white bread and was far from being disappointed. First off they cut/shave the meat right there in front of you (this was awesome except seeing the young lady who was cutting continually wiping the sweat off of her forehand) they don't have an array of topics, but what they have is all that you need. When I bit in to my sandwich, I noticed everything was super fresh. The bread had the perfect texture, and the bonus, it had a nice salty taste. Mixed with the the vinegar and oil that I never get at Subway (because of the soggy bread effect) this was just the finishing touch. Port of Subs blows Subway and Jimmy Johns with their "lightening speed" straight out of the water. (Lame closing in 3....2...1...) I definitely will port here again haha read more

Place used to be great but like many after covid just not 5 stars anymore. I have been coming here for years. Last visit I told them the lettuce looks bad. I said multiple times. Manager just walked away? I would skip this one. Won't be back. Good bye port o subs. read more

I got horribly sick from eating a sub from this place. It was the first time I'd ever tried it and thought it'd be an amazing idea with it being so close to my work. The cheese was warm and the ham had an odd taste, so I ended up taking both off. Worst part is after eating this sub I was throwing it up! Will never return to this place. My guess is because it's run by a bunch of kids. read more

I called they answered the phone and said they don't do orders over the phone. Then I got there ( 3 minutes later) and the worker that helped me was on his cell phone reading or typing something. Not one person in line. They most definitely could have made my sandwich very easily! read more

I wanted to thank the manager Carlos for following up on my missing delivery, and taking the time to call me back. Great service - and delicious sandwiches as always! read more

I've been searching for a great sub shop since moving to AZ from MA over a year ago. Finally!!! By far best sub in Phoenix! I got the classic turkey on wheat. So yummy! My search is over. Yay!!! read more

This is quickly becoming a go-to lunch place. It's right around the corner from my job, and guaranteed to be delicious. They cater to the busy working lunch crowd, given the proximity to SRP and all the other businesses nearby. Despite the constant traffic of hungry professionals, the line always moves quickly and the people working here are pretty nice and/or funny. Try a wrap and get it grilled/pressed like a burrito. So good! And the cookies are to DIE FOR!! I find myself wanting to run by just to get a soft white chocolate macadamia cookie all the time. But then I end up getting a sub too... and maybe another cookie for the road... this is why I can't be thin. I'll be here again soon! COOKIES read more

Tried to place an order online but got a message that said online ordering is down for the night...called and said they couldn't take phone orders...how can you not take an order over the phone ? I guess they don't want to make money read more

The other sandwich place next to work. This place gets really amazingly busy at lunch time. You would almost think they were giving away prozac on wheat with phone numbers for bored housewives written in condiments on the bread. Sadly, this is not the case. Decent sandwiches though if not nutritious. read more

We picked up a pair of sandwiches on the way to A's spring training and it was definitely better than what The A's were offering inside. read more

Port of Subs - a neon sign for a fast food restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Just a sub-par sub shop. Slices of cheese and meat were VERY thin in comparison to the bread but were VERY fresh (impressed). Prices were ehh for what you get. I personally wouldn't go again. Not a bad experience but not all that impressed. read more

Friendly staff and freash meat. Get a family pack to share and enjoy 2 feet of perfection. Add chips, cookie and a drink and then head to the Zoo or botanical gardens. Join the sub club and earn free food. read more

Love this place. For all you sub sandwich fans you need to check this place out if you haven't already. You don't leave smelling like cheese(subway) and they slice all the meat and cheese fresh when you order it. It is a little more pricey than Subway, about 9 bucks for 8 inch sub, but hey you get what you pay for. Can get really busy around lunch time with all the industrial areas around. The staff is friendly will move you through the line pretty quickly though. Having 2 different lines where people can order their subs helps. read more

This is my go to lunch spot because it's REALLY close and the small sub actually fills me up really good. It's a little less than $6 dollars

Clean, fast, and delicious. Today was the 1st time we'd ever had Port of Subs and we were very impressed. We ordered online and picked up about 15 mins later. Im interested in trying their breakfast pressed sandwiches. read more

Sandwiches are pretty good....good enough that I usually go there once or twice a week...sometimes more. It can get crowded in there during lunch hour so if you can get there early or have a late lunch, I'd recommend that. All in all, not a bad place to grab a sandwich for lunch. read more

Walked in and it felt/looked clean. Order a turkey with American on wheat bread. Added olives, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, their mustard & mayo spread, extra red onion, oil and vin, and oregano. Their meats and cheeses are sliced right in front of your face. Thin slices of meat but a hefty portion and soft sand which bread. Customer service was decent and prices were average. Would definitely come in again! Now go get a sandwich! read more

Super nice, clean, fast and friendly!! I wont go anywhere else! I always love a clean restaurant and when the food for the sandwiches are cold and fresh. This place is fantastic! Staff is super friendly as well. Excellwnt quality and taste! read more

What I love about this place: You can submit an order online and go pick it up without having to wait in the long lunch line! Thank god for the internet. The staff is efficient for the most part. The sandwiches are made to order and they have outdoor seating. It's close to where I work so I come here often. read more

Good but I am sure the staff is high. Or retarded. Also, they do not use enough meat.

Port of Subs is the same as most other sandwich shops - except how do they get pickles so thin? Seriously - they are thin and translucent. The staff is fairly skimpy with the toppings and my sandwich maker today was not proficient with the avocado scooper. The scooper is very small. He put one scoop that was about the size of a quarter on the sandwich. He attempted a second scoop, which he had to scrape around the bucket, and then fumbled the exchange as he tried to put it on the sandwich. As both dabs of avocado hit the table, he reached for the spatula. The spatula was not much better as he dropped it, and attempted to schmear the little avocado on the bread. As much remained on the handle as was on the bread. Maybe he's new? Or maybe they are just skimpy on toppings and have an inefficient staff? read more

In its category is good food, reasonable price. Wraps, flatbreads and subs. For breakfast with egg, american cheese with bacon, ham or turkey sausage and for lunch meatballs, pastrami, turkey and get it on a combo with chips and tea, water or soda for a few extra bucks. Didnt get the cookie, dunno if its worth it or not, have you tried it? read more

Port of Subs - Cozy restaurant, quick bite, reasonable price - Sandwiches Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I always prefer to support the local businesses but Subway is better.

The subs are always great, love that everything is thin slices. They always make my sandwich how I want, extra pickles. When they get rushed and the lines get long the staff gets hurried and forgets to be friendly, they get to business and loose the the smiles. But long lines are always a good thing because the food is worth it. If you like sandwiches stop by! read more

As a vegetarian, Port of Subs is one of the few fast food/casual dining type places I can/will eat at. I looove a veggie sub from Port of Subs. They slice the cheese (and meat) here, it's much more appetizing than the cheese/meat you see sitting there at Subway and other sandwich shops. The main bonuses here, other than fresh slicing, are the sourdough bread and pepperjack cheese (never know if other sandwich shops have either of those), and first and foremost the mayo/mustard mix. I always get a ton of it. The only reason I took one star off my review is that lately, the mayo/mustard mix tastes a bit different (although that may just be my taste buds??), which was, honestly, the main draw for me, so I find myself coming here less often. I also really, really appreciate that they clean the machine before slicing the cheese for a veggie (#6) sandwich here. They say it is their policy to do so, but not every location does so...and I have learned to make sure the machine is cleaned first, after I got a sandwich with some slices of meat on it from another location. I appreciate that they do this without my having to ask (esp. since I always feel a little bit bad asking them to take the time to do so, esp. @ lunchtime, when this location gets crazy busy). Also love the frequent customer type card, buy 12 get one free! Always makes me happy to get a free, delicious sandwich. read more

1st time here and I must say the turkey bacon avacado was really good since it was my 1st time I had to order another sub so I got roast beef , that was fresh n tasty as well. Ive now added this to my list of fav sub shops read more

I was hoping for something more than an ordinary sub shop and I found it. I had the best veggie sub, they slice the meats and even the cheese right when you order it. Everything tasted so fresh and the bun was just right. The staff was super friendly and they seemed like they enjoyed their job. Thank you for a pleasant experience. Only 4 stars because after all you are still a sandwich shop. read more
