This place was great! We stopped off for lunch after visiting The Living Desert, the employees were friendly, the place was extremely clean and I love that they dice up the tomatoes and pickles on the sandwiches so the whole thing doesn't come out when you take a bite, genius! read more

Under new management again. All the ingredients on my pastrami sub were the same, it was just a couple ounces lighter. It was the first thing I noticed when it was handed to me. This was back in 2021 when they first changed management. read more

Love the sandwiches. My favorite is the Turkey, Roast Beef, Avocado. Wish they had sourdough bread as an option, but it's still awesome on the rolls. read more

Good service and Food. Sandwiches were made really fast! Prices better than Subway and quality really good. You have to ask if you want lettuce but they come with copped pickles, onions and tomatoes. We will be back read more

No way. NO WAY! Definitely not a 3+ star experience. Lets start with the bread. The bread is like the epitome of American processed breads. yes, it's soft, but flavorless and SMOTHERED and DESTROYED by the excessive amounts of mayonnaise they put on. The meats were mediocre at best. They didn't skimp though, so that's a good thing. I got the Sub King Cold Cut to share with my GF. As I've mentioned there was a generous amount of meat. The sandwich was 6.50ish (more or less). You know what, usually I have so much to say about a place - whether good or bad - but I don't know what to say about this place. The veggies were chopped up -- ugh. I like my tomatoes sliced, not diced up. Same with my pickles. That way I get an even bite every time. Oh yeah, and no lettuce. Man, I don't know if it's purists that don't eat their subs without lettuce or what, but I need some lettuce on my sandwich. Maybe you had to ask for it? But how should I have known. There was no description on what toppings were available - nor differences in bread. I noticed someone got a wheat sandwich - I def would've opted for this had I known. Someone mentioned good service -- maybe they are a regular. It felt like a school line cafeteria to me. They asked me what I wanted, I answered, they took my money and that's it. No thank you, no grab a table we'll be with you. Just "next". I was kidding with my buddies about us going to a subway for lunch. Now I wish that I wans't kidding. $5 foot longs def beats this place. read more

I just can't get enough! I just can't get enough!!! A local favorite! I have been coming to this place for as long as I can remember! Anything and everything will satisfy your cravings. My go to? The sub club 3 turkey, bacon avocado...I prefer mine on wheat bread, dry with no bacon but everything else. The bread is soft, the turkey is thinly sliced but packed on heavily. Pickles, tomato and onion seal the deal for this masterpiece.. I can't wait to go home and visit to indulge in this wonderful sandwich. read more

Excellent, we came from Hawaii and found this diamond. Italian cold cut was excellent read more

Sub King - Sandwiches Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Always constant quality good tasting sandwiches. I'm a big fan of the king club. The potato salad is good as well. The pastrami sandwich is very good as well. read more

I have been coming here since I was 14, and it's really one of the best sandwich shops ever. I like how they chop up the tomoatoes, pickles, and onions in small pieces for your sandwiches. My fave is the Pastrami & Avocado with everything. Its def a place where all the locals go for lunch. read more

Best i ever had in my life ! honestly best sub place !!!!! i love the avocado spread ! i get so happy when my boss brings it to us ! diced veggies which is the best ! the sub is amazing ! read more

Stayed in Palm Desert last week and ate here 4 times...we live in NYC and this place buries most of the sandwiches in the East Village...seriously. The bread is perfect, the Italian condiments and dressings are ridiculous. Without question, a friendly establishment with a delicious Italian sub... read more

I came here because I saw the reviews on yelp. First off, customer service was god awful. I was never greeted but with a "can you close the door". The door stayed open and we didn't realize it. We closed it no problem. Once the girl came to the front she never said anything but sat and stared at the tv. I asked questions since I had never been here and she had very short answers like I was bugging her from watching soccer on tv. This makes me never want to come back. We took our sandwiches home and my sandwich had cheese and I asked for no cheese. So strike 2! Overall the sandwich was pretty good except the cheese that I was trying to take off and save all of the other ingredients. The bread was soft and seemed fresh. I'm not from here and I'm not sure if I would recommend it unless they decided to get some employees that actually used customer service skills. read more

Best pastrami in town! I have been eating here for years and it hasn't disappointment me yet.

Subway's got nothing on Sub King! I started eating at Sub King more than 10 years ago, and have not found a better sub anywhere else. There seems to have been a change in management (or kitchen staff) at some point, but the quality of food remains the same. I can understand some of Darren's criticisms; I think being a regular definitely helps you when it comes to ordering your sandwich the way that you want it. I've never had a problem with the customer service, though. Prices are very reasonable -- I used to get coupons in the mail, which gave me an even better deal, but I haven't seen those in a while. Even though I live on the other side of town, I try to stop by for a sub whenever I'm in the vicinity. read more

I have to say I am not one to yelp anything! I had a meeting today at work, and two hours to burn. So I thought I'd go pick up some lunch! Best sandwich I've had in years! I love the chopped pickles and tomatoes! I only wish they would open one closer to my house! The bread was fresh! The service was great! And I love that it's a local business! I will definitely be back! read more

I thoroughly enjoy Sub King. I don't know if it's their onion-tomato mixture that just really seems to understand me or if it's the fact that it's always kinda dead when I stop in... But whatever it is, I like it (call me an introvert for either fact-- see if I care!). Bread quality is good, though I do wish they had a whole-wheat option. Not exactly crusty, so don't come expecting that. Meats are pretty good/ staple-- nothing crazy; I can say the same for all the other toppings. The best part of SubKing is that they're always offering deals-- 2/ $12, which is TOTALLY worth it, and I think a deal via Yelp Check-In. Subs are a decent size, though they aren't really filled with a lot of greens. Just some good meats, cheeses, meats-- you know, the "tasty" stuff. Every sub I've ever ordered (I've typically done the "staple" subs-- no tuna or chicken for me, though) has been pretty bomb-tastic. My only complaint is the sodium content, but that's kinda to be expected. I mean, this isn't a juice cleanse... And I think that's what I really love about SubKing. It's nothing flashy or fancy. It doesn't pretend to be healthy (heyyyyy, Subway...); it doesn't pretend to be more-than-a-bomb-sub (heyyyyy, Quizno's!). It's an understated staple place that does subs solid. You're pretty much a "go" for anything on the menu, and with the good deals, it's totally worth a try. read more

This is by far my favorite local sandwich shop in the desert - hands down. I have been coming to Sub King ever since I moved out here in 1990 and it has never changed. The way they dice the tomatoes, pickles, and onions are like nobody else. My biggest problem is that I never know what I want, but I would have to say my go-to is the Sub Club #2 or the hot pastrami. I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Thank you to Tommy for creating a desert legacy... read more

Usually this place is aight. At lunch they half step on service and the register people are dumb as rocks. The Asian guy that seems to be runnin the joint is a jerk to customers too. If u don't pick up ur sandwich when he whispers ur order number he threatens to toss ur sandwich. This place aint that great to begin with so a jerk working behind the counter doesn't help much. Plus the place is kinda dirty. Watever Subway sucks so I guess this is the only other option. read more

Sub King - Half a crap sandy - Sandwiches Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Came here on a whim after grabbing dog food next door. My conclusion is there are drugs in the bread. No nonsense, super fast, super affordable, and delicious. read more

Came here for the first time today and I don't know why I haven't tried before. I regret passing by Sub King and not eating here for lunch. Prices are unbelievable, they don't skimp out on anything, and on top of all that, the staff is very friendly. A must try is their avocado, pastrami & cheese sandwich! read more

I ADORE SUBKING! My brother said he would give his left nut if it was required to keep this place open. That says a lot... My brother and I make a trip to Subking every time he comes home to visit (he is in northern CA currently). I live in Riverside and will drive the hour and a half just for a sub sandwich at Subking. My brother and I even made two trips to Subking in one day (once for lunch and once for dinner lol). I LOVE the aroma of the place upon entering - savory Italian is what comes to mind. I always order a large turkey avocado with Italian dressing (instead of the mayo). The BREAD is amazingly soft. Everything tastes fresh. Sandwiches are packed full. I look forward to every trip and leave wishing I had a larger stomach. read more

Great sandwiches, great selection! Bring cash because you get attitude if you want to pay with a credit card/ debit card. read more

PRO: * pastrami sandwich was good * service was super friendly * cost was reasonable * has A/C (critical since so many daze are triple digits) * XL drink size is truly Xtra Large! CON: * bread (roll) was just fine, not great; a great bread makes for a great sandwich read more

After another day out by the pool, we were ready to eat again and they sure did deliver. Food: I ordered the bacon avocado sub and it might be because those are two of my favorite things, but it was delish! It was nice how everything is chopped up and diced so there is enough pickle, onion and tomato in every bite. The bacon was also very crispy and yummy also. The potato salad isn't house made so that was a bummer but the food was overall good. Service: The man that helped us was very speedy and kind, so we were out of there in a matter of minutes! read more

So my office relocated out to Palm Desert for the time being and I always try to find the best spots to eat at with reasonable prices. Sub King definitely fits the bill for my lunch time fix. This place was recommended to be my another co-worker. The decor on the outside isn't really appealing and when you walk in, it gives off a "hole in a wall" feeling. They make the sandwiches pretty quick but their service is a bit on the mediocre side. However, you will come back for the sandwiches! I usually get the Sub Club 3, which is the avocado, bacon and turkey sub. It comes with lettuce, tomato, onions pickles and mayo but I exclude the onions and pickles. They haven't messed up on my order yet and I am thankful for that. The white bread is fairly soft and easy to chew. The ingredients used taste fresh and they give you a good amount of meat in the sandwich. I usually don't get chips so I get to fully enjoy this sub. For the amount that you pay, you get a lot of sandwich. There is a subway literally across the street but I'd rather go to Sub King any day. Also, check in on Yelp so you can get 2 large subs for $10.69!! Eat one for lunch and take the other home for dinner!! read more

Simple but Amazing!!! Cheap cheap cheap I love that . I had the Sub King Number 3 that was a really good sandwich nothing to fancy but lots of meat loved the diced onions and pickles gave it a nice crunch the bread was soft but held the sandwhich nicely .My lunch was under 10$ I can't wait to come back and try the menu if your in the area and want something delicious and filling check it out . The staff was Nice and the lady who took my order was helpful read more

Totally hits the spot when in the mood for a tasty sub. Fresh ingredients. Very fast service and friendly staff!

Ahhh Sub King, truly the king of subs. Religiously ate here about 3-4 times per week during high school and make sure to come back for a sub whenever I am back in the desert. I normally get the roast beef, avocado, and swiss with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and pepperoncinis on wheat with light mayo and mustard. The meatball sub is also very delicious and highly recommended as well. What sets this place apart from other inferior sub joints is the bread, diced toppings, and the avocado. There is something about the bread here, it's nothing too fancy but I love how it's a little chewy. They mash the avocados (like guacamole except without the onions, tomatoes, etc...) which is a brilliant idea. This insures an even distribution of the awesomeness to every bite, and also prevents from avocado slices squirting out the bottom of your sub when biting into it. It's around 5 dollars for a small (6inch) and 7 dollars for a large (12inch) which is not too bad. Also you get free refills here and they can make Arnold Palmers, which is the perfect compliment to a Sub King sub. They changed management last year but rest assured all the trade secrets have been passed along and nothing really has changed. The only difference I could tell was the lettuce was shredded slightly thinner than I remember. So I highly recommend this place for an affordable and oh so delicious lunch, and after you can mosey on over next door for a drink at The Hood. read more

We have been eating here for years and has been WONDERFUL .....sadly to say the quality has gone down hill. We just ate there two days ago and got two large subs and there was hardly any meat. The owner has decreased meat and ingredients and raised prices. I don't mind the higher price but hey add the meat. There was hardly any lettuce either. I hate to say this but.....so long sub king ! read more

This place has been a desert icon and I hope it stays that way, I've been coming here since I was a kid the food just taste better than all of theys newer chain sub shops that have popped up over the years, yeah I know it feels and looks a little rundown but in my opinion that just adds to the charm of the place that brings me back to my childhood. If your in palm desert wanting a great sandwich I highly recommend this be the spot you go read more

Would of been 5star.. if service was good! Sandwiches were surprisedly good! They look small but are tasty! I really don't like not seeing them make my sandwich..... I guess the big chain made it hard for us!! Maybe go here once a year when in town! But do like it! read more

We went here the other day for lunch. I had a coupon for 2 large subs $13. We got 1-Italian cold cuts 1-Italian delight and then a #3....Everyone was nice and quick! Sandwiches were fresh and tasted great! Very quick and easy read more

The best sub place in the Valley. I have been going here for ten years. The only problem...is which sub should I have. I love the Italian delight, but the meatball sub is very good as well. This place doesn't "cheap out" I highly recommend it. read more

First of all the staff was awesome! I heard about this place and convinced my better half to go after shopping at El Paseo.. The subs are AMAZING! I would gladly drive from Palm Springs for these sandwiches... Just as prior reviewers said, "Excellent" A bunch of guys from the Sopranos have eaten there so it must be good, Forget'abouit.... Support Your Local Merchant read more

We were looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat before our trek back to LA. We Yelp some deli spots and Sub King pops up. I ordered the Italian cold cut, husband orders a roast beef sub. The bread is to die for. I hate hard rolls that cut up the roof of my mouth. This bread was soft and tasty. The subs were equally delicious. I love the tomato, peppercini, etc. they stick in there. If I come back to the Palm Desert area, I would make this my lunch spot! read more

The owner and the food here is AMAZING! Fresh ingredients and awesome prices. This spot has a small business feel and the employees are so welcoming! Definitely go here if you are looking for a fresh sandwich and friendly service! The owner came out and gave us free cookies. We love supporting our small businesses and this one is 100% worth the visit!! read more

Great sandwiches!!! We got the turkey sandwiches. Great pickles and cucumbers in them. I would eat here again. The bread was so soft. The workers so friendly as well. I think we met the sub king himself! read more
