yummy food ! but poor service, a bunch of teenage boys (workers) in tank tops hanging out in the front. two of the men were very respectful but the rest (younger) were rude. they were laughing at us, running to the back to grab their friend to join their laughter, not even sure if the guy in the black tank top worked there but it was my friends first time there she didnt know how it worked plus she was getting help with the sandwich while he was ringing us up, she obviously didnt hear him so he shouted " ARE YOU GETTING A SANDWICH OR NOT". the teenage boys made us uncomfortable and degraded us. read more

Really good group of guys working behind the counter. Prices are reasonable . My only "complaint" is that I saw them use a wet towel to wipe down their cutting area, then, used the same towel to wipe off their knife. Really think the Health Inspector would have a major opinion. read more

Subman - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Legit sandwich shop. Good and fresh tasting. Great prices. No frills kinda place on the inside but clean eating area and facilities. Lots of sandwich options. I like that you can choose the size you want (6", 9" or 12") and customize your order. I got the Italian on white roll and loved the veggies you can add, all the basic ones. I got the 6" and it was filling! I ate 3/4 and half my chips. My husband loved his sandwich which had turkey, bacon and ham. I had a bite, it was good, but I liked mine more. I would come back and definitely add this to the sandwich rotation. read more

Annual update: My go to order: Small Atomic sub (or turkey avocado) on a wheat roll with provolone, toasted if I have time (I don't usually). Everything except pickles, Dijon instead of yellow mustard, and add cucumber and bell pepper. They are so efficient here. It is a well run machine and a reliable place to grab a quick affordable and filling lunch. Still a major fan. read more

My husband and I came by after going to the Botanical Garden. The guys working there were super nice. They for sure don't skimp on anything. My husband did the roll the dice for deciding which sub to get. I got a Turkey, avocado and cheese, while he got a number 7. They had plenty of options. There are plenty of places to sit down and eat. The bread was super fluffy all the toppings were fresh. We will be coming back. read more

Haven't written a review here in a little bit and it's still as great as ever! They just decorated for the holidays and went all out! The owner was there with another staff member. There was a family in front of me but they were quick to get my order started. My sandwiches came out perfect and I love their assortment of chips and drinks to add onto my meal. One of my favorite spots for a quick lunch! read more

I wish this sandwich place was near me! I love a good sandwich spot. Fresh ingredients and the bread is soft and big. I ordered the 9" veggie w/ avocado, provolone, Swiss, and all the veggies on the squaw roll. Just a solid, fresh sandwich. The price is very fair for the quality and size sandwich. Will definitely be stopping in again when I'm back in the area. read more

Subman - #11 Veggie avocado cheese sandwich w/ all the veggies. Delicious - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

I finally found myself in this neighborhood during lunch. I've had this sub shop bookmarked for years. On a Sunday, there were a few people waiting for sandwiches. The employees were friendly and promptly greeted me. I ordered a medium Italian sub for my husband and a small #3(ham and capacolla) on a wheat roll. I thought my sandwich was pretty darn good. They have all the sandwich toppings and dressings you can think of. I ordered mine with lettuce, tomato, pickles, pepperoncinis, sweet hot mustard, and red vinegar. There was just the right amount of everything. The wheat roll was soft and fresh. My husband had the medium Italian sub. There was ham, salami, pepperoni, and capacolla. He thought it was really good and huge. He could have ordered the small sub like mine. There is some inside seating but we ate outside with our dog. We will be back! read more

I ordered catering for 150 staff at a local high school. Their owner, Tim, was absolutely amazing to work with, from start to finish. He was helpful in suggesting quantities and recommending their top-selling sandwiches. I wound up ordering seven of their 6-foot long subs, each with a different meat/cheese combo. If you've never ordered their 6-footers before, all I can say is DO IT! Talk about a WOW factor. Each of the 6-footers was securely placed on a wooden plank which had been wrapped in tinfoil. Each sub was cut into 30, secured with toothpicks, and wrapped in Saran. I was able to transport them all easily. On the side Tim included mayo, mustard, and all the toppings so people could build their own sub. I heard multiple rave reviews from the staff, with many exclaiming, "it's the best sub I've ever had in my life". read more

This is hands down my go to sandwich place in Encinitas. I was starving while working on a project and Yelped a sandwich place close and found Subman. I got the Italian Sub and it is incredible. The meats and cheeses are super high quality but that French roll is a revelation. You'll never go to Subway again after one visit here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Subman - Half of a large Italian Sub...chips added! - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

We were in the area for something else and love a good sub so decided to stop in. Food tasted okay, but I wanted my sub warmed and I didn't realize they have a little home toaster oven, so it literally was in the toaster for 5 minutes, which i've never seen. My boyfriend didn't get his toasted so he was already eating while i was standing at the counter waiting for the oven for 5 minutes. I got sourdough bread and my other complaint was the bread was actually hard. I literally stopped eating about halfway through because the corners of my lips were hurting from the bread. Maybe if they switch the toaster and the bread is softer, it could be a hit. Ingredients did taste good though, which was nice. read more

Great sub sandwiches - LARGE portions, great price. Super fresh and delicious! Great service overall. read more

Man, just moved to the area and I have heard so many good things about this place. I came by to check em out, I was kinda bummed. They put very little meat and it was not what I have heard about it. I need to give them another shot. But the vibe was cool. The employees seemed a bit busy and rushed so that might have been it too. read more

Subman is a locally owned shop. Customer service is outstanding and sandwiches are well priced. I decided to order a medium sized Tuna Sub. I chose squaw bread and added lettuce, olives, tomatoes, mustard, mayonnaise, peppercini, onions, Swiss cheese, vinegar, salt and pepper. It included an ample amount of tuna. (No skimping at this Sub shop!). This sandwich was so delicious. The tuna was fresh and I definitely loved the squaw bread. It was big enough to feed two people, but if you have a bigger appetite, they also sell a large sized option. I'm happy to support locally owned businesses and Subman is worthy of a visit for great food and customer service. Drop in and check it out, you'll be happy you did! read more

This is our go-to place for sandwiches. Great service, selection and consistent quality.

We must protect Subman Sounds like i'm calling to civilians to save some sort of superhero, and I sort of am... The prices here are insanely good for what you're getting. And the selection of sandwich items is off the charts. They have so much good stuff here from italian subs, to meatball, to roast beef. If you've overlooked this small, unassuming shop, sequestered in its corner, think again. Sandwiches were also incredibly tasty, bread was yum, meats high quality, service was nice. This is a hidden gem read more

This place reminds me of the old school deli on the corner I grew up eating at in New York. There is a simple formula to their success, great freshly baked bread, excellent meats, cheeses and veggies tied together with the perfect combination of condiments. This equals the perfect grinder! Add to that that great customer service and amazing value for your money and that's the icing on the cake! We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch after shopping. The sandwich shop is in on the corner of a busy shopping center. The outside is simple and unassuming. As we walked in my wife and I were pleasantly surprised by what we found. I ordered the large Italian sub on white bread with Provolone cheese and all the veggies with oil and vinegar. My wife ordered a large roast beef with avocado, Swiss cheese on Squaw bread with all the veggies Mayo oil and vinegar. Let me tell you both these sandwiches were Der-Licious! As a matter of fact my wife's was so good, it almost knocked my tongue in the dirt! Here's the kicker, the sandwiches were huge!!! They were so big we had to have them cut in four pieces and we could only eat 1/4 of the sandwiches in one sitting! Oh and did I mention the price? They were only $11! I was like what the heck?! These are pre- pandemic prices! If you're in the area and looking for a steal of a deal for lunch or dinner, you gotta check this place out! As longer as there are still places like this out there you'll never want a sandwich from Subway again! read more

Simply amazing, I am in love with this place, and have been for a very long time. Absolutely beautiful men who work here, an owner who cares about the well being of the community, and an overall great sandwich spot read more

I went to Subman for the first time and the sandwich that I received was done well and the employees were very attentive and listened carefully to how I wanted it created however it was listed at a price of $6.99 and my bill was $7.99 (didn't argue that but should have...). The reason for my review is the place needs a deep cleaning, just filthy inside! I did sit inside, and all the tables were dirty, the bench seat I sat at had crumbs and food logged into the seat brackets that needed to be vacuumed and not wiped. These seats definately need to be replaced.... after that I look up and it appears to be bugs dead in the light covers and I do believe roaches!! I simply was beside myself and could not each another bite wondering what goes on at that place at night. I will not go there again until the place is deep cleaned and rennovated! Disgusting!! read more

Wow awesome sandwich. I'm really picky. But this place blew me away. Reminds me of the old grinder sandwich shops. Fresh vegetables and the bread is toasted just right and also fresh. Nice work guys read more

Subman - This is the roast, beef, avocado, and cheese, 15 and the Italian sub number nine. And they are just a fantastic. So delicious so good. - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

I love coming here after work. We usually would go to board and brew ( sandwiches are like 13 bucks there) but the job gets done here in 7 bucks! AND the quality is pretty good too! I either get a veggie sandwich or a chicken melt with cheese on sour dough. Pretty good!! The ambiance is very mom and pop 80s (which I love). Tim Lee is doing a wonderful service to our city and thank you Subman for giving us quality sandwiches that dont break our wallets in this economy! read more

I found on Yelp while at the beach and saw good ratings, so I took a chance and drive several miles to go to, hoping it would be good. It was very good and guys making sandwich were very nice. I recommend their Italian sandwich, which they said is the must popular. read more

Another 5 star review for this place? Yes indeed but why you ask? Is it the price of their sandwiches, the size, the quality of ingredients, the variety, the staff? For me, all of the above! This is a regular stop for our family and has been for several years. Parking can be a pain, exiting onto the street an even bigger pain, but the sandwich--ah so worth all that pain. The staff always quick to serve, even on those out the door line days. They even smile while correctly putting your order together--strange, possibly the vibe there is overwhelming and it is Encinitas. How is this all possible? I have no idea but we'll continue to come here-- read more

This place is the best! They make the best sandwiches with the freshest ingredients. So much better than the chain sandwich places around.

Great price for how much food you're getting. Very fast efficient. Came here for a quick grub, and I was surprised how fast they made my sandwich. The thing was huge. Everything tasted good, fresh, nothing fancy just very simple. Do not expect gourmet, if you want a simple sub, then definitely come here. The prices are unbeatable. Staff is friendly, parking is very easy. read more
