I ordered a turkey, provolone, avocado sandwich from here and I asked them to add oil and vinegar. They sent me a sandwich with literally just turkey and mayo. Never again. So stupid. read more

Not sure why, but I went in despite the bad reviews because I was in the area and hungry for a sandwich. Holy crap! I was blown away. These reviews are old and couldn't be farther from what this place is. First, this place is rad. Surf movies playing, cute, friendly girls making sandwiches, and a great vibe overall. I ordered the Cali sub (Turkey, Bacon, Avocado...) and it was great. The avocado was not just a few thin slices, it was hunks and fresh. Being this close to Fallbrook, you should expect nothing less than fresh avocado and this place delivered. The bacon was not skimpy either. Thanks! It was a sandwich. What more can I write really. I just want to acknowledge the fact that this place is not a 2 1/2 star sandwich joint. It is far better than that. There were no grumpy "sandwich artists" making a sandwich under duress. There were cute chicks making the sandwich I wanted, not what I expected. I asked if there was new management and they said there was new ownership. Well done new peeps. I give them 5 stars because they made my sandwich better than I had expected and gave me great service and were nice. Not much to ask in any business but sadly, the exception not the rule now a days. read more

I am a college student at cal state San Marcos, Submarina has always been my favorite place to eat lunch of of sycamore. Came to this location after the beach with some friends hoping they would have the same experience as I do every time I eat there. I was wrong, this location has the rudest employees. I felt a burden because I wanted to get spinach and cucumbers on my sandwich and it was away in the fridge. I felt very unwelcome and I will never give this Submarina my business again. Sycamores Submarina always has the nicest employees and fast service. I hate writing bad reviews and hardly ever even review restaurants, but I was so offended by their bad attitudes I had to. read more

Moderate quality for a Submarina. I came here to get two Sandwhiches.Two of the three attendants helping seemed to be busy with a conversation that appeared to be work related but it distracted the third as she was trying to take make my sandwhich. They appear to keep avacado pre-cut for sandwiches, this is normally a poor practice unless you enjoy brown avacado. Their lettuce was on the verge of browning but it still appeared green, just you know, it was a little too soggy. The price was excellent, two HUGE sandwiches for not too much money. I will continue to come to this Submarina as well as other Submarina franchises. read more

I love this company but this location did not staff wisely. The girls were so slow and didn't tell us they were out of tomato & onion until after we were halfway done. They had everything pulled back, out of sight even though they're open another 2 hours... the sandwich artists are very skimpy on toppings, one even held the sub on her arm while loading it at the back counter & it was laying on her apple watch... who knows if she cleans that! Will not go to this location again. read more

It used to be that I could tell the difference between Submarina and Subway, but it's difficult now. I do still believe that Submarina has better quality ingredients and a different variety of subs. However, my last experience didn't impress me much. I ordered the veggie on sliced squaw. The bread tasted a little dry/stale, not the moist and flavorful bread I remember. The sandwich overall, just wasn't as tasty. The employees are SUPER friendly and nice and the store is ALWAYS clean. I'll still go back, maybe the stars just weren't aligned quite right that day... read more

A very delicious place to eat but the problem is that they're kind of expensive. They were just plain dead, no customers at all. The food was good and the service was friendly but Port of subs is wag better for the price. read more

Submarina West Oceanside - Sandwiches Near Me - Oceanside, California

Lately this place has been so hit and miss. It used to always be good, fast staff and the owners were always dropping in it seems. However lately they seem like a total mess. In the last handful of times I have come here they have more people working than before and it takes easily twice as long to get your sandwich. Also your sandwich is sort of sad compared to how they used to be. The people behind the counter are usually super confused and constantly need to be reminded and get hung up on orders with more than one sandwich. I really miss how this place used to be because I love sandwiches and loved coming here. I'd even skip making one at home to come here but now I think I may stick to making them at home till they can get it together again. The picture below shows my sandwich sloppy and I asked for double tuna and that is not what I got. Also when I came here someone from the back came in and showed them the online orders that they had just skipped and didn't pay attention to so they became backed up in the line and online. I can't imagine being so backed up when you have one person building the sandwich and two people putting veggies and wrapping and another one to two people ringing up. Amazing. read more

Submarina West Oceanside - Tuna wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Oceanside, California

Bad food poisoning!!! I got a turkey sandwich on wheat bread & afterwards I became super ill. This was over two weeks ago and I'm still having digestive upset. :( I even tweeted to Submarina without any response back. Never going to eat there again!!! EVER! read more

They don't tell you, but if you have them make your sandwich into a salad, they charge an extra $1.50. Not one other sandwich place charges extra. Definitely won't be going back. Music and TV both on loud at same time. Ha! Weird. read more

If I can rate zero I would I used to come here a couple years ago and then they got new management and ever since I got new management their service and sandwiches have gone down the drain I just ordered a sandwich for them half of the ingredients is missing and I'm pretty sure they put all of the onions and peppers that they have in their store on my sandwich everything is miss proportioned and it literally looks like a toddler made the sandwich and I'm pretty sure the employees don't care at all the management should really reconsider hiring new employees and actually training their staff how to make a sandwich if people are going into their sandwich shop and spending money I feel like they should get the sandwiches that are pictured and what I got is literally the worst sandwich I've ever seen or tasted. Save yourself some money and do not go here read more

Super fast and great service. The sandwich made was certainly more delicious than a Subway sandwich if compared. If I could make one suggestion, the long-haired employees making sandwiches NEED to wear a hat or hairnet! My coworker was a little bothered since the employees hair was moving all over the place, over the food while being prepared. Other than that, excellent place! read more

this place completely came through when I was in a jam not to mention it was the first time I had them cater for our service department at Nissan. The quality of the food and the appearance went above and beyond my expectations just as the quality-of-service did. Thank you so much for taking care of us and going above and beyond. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE, CONTAMINATED FOOD!! NEVER COME HERE! Lady serving threw leftover vegetables that fell of the sandwich and put it back on without remorse! Terrible care and especially during a pandemic read more

I love coming here on my lunch break. The girls are very quick which I appreciate since im always on a time crunch. Ashley is usually the one that makes my sanwich and she is a sweetheart! I could only give 4 stars because the last few times I've come, they were out of squaw bread and I think that's worth a star. read more

Love their squaw bread it's my favorite and makes the sandwiches. The service was great today and they were very helpful in picking the best sandwich. Will definitely be coming back for more of that bread. read more

10 times better than subway in quality. The service is great the staff is real personal and nice! The food is wonderful and I love sprouts!!! read more

This is THE BEST submarina location around. Everything is always so much fresher than the Carlsbad or Vista locations. I love the Cali sub on wheat, YUM! The honey mustard is SO GOOD! Also, this location just started serving beer and wine. The TV always has surf videos on which I love. read more

We stopped here for lunch. After a while on the road. We came in with an order of 6 sandwiches. The ladies behind the counter were extremely helpful and patient. I love the choices they give you from the meats to the sauces yo the type of bread. Everything was delicious and made just how we wanted. I especially love how soft the bread was because it means that it's made fresh. read more

Every time I go in the bread tastes fresh (unlike Subway) including last nite when we went in around 7. I had a veggie sandwich and my husband had the Baja. Both were delicious. To get 5 stars Submarina needs to offer more veggies like red pepper and cucumber. But I did learn last nite that you can order spring mix lettuce instead of the iceberg lettuce. read more

First time here & it was amazing! Customer service was good. Sandwiches were perfect But the reason I gave them 4 stars not 5 star cuz the chips I got were pass expiration date. Which is not cool man. read more

First time we ate here, hubby & I split the veggie sandwich on wheat and it's really good. The workers are very nice & friendly. The place is very clean. We'll eat here again & yes I will recommend this place to our friends and family. read more

The employees were WAY rude & arrogant. They acted like we were a major inconvenience to their day. In other words they acted like they were too good to work there. #RUDE HORRIBLE service read more

Nice ladies made us great sandwiches today! The gentleman who rang is up showed us nice hospitality that was genuine. You don't find that much these days... Will be coming back :) read more

Walking in no one was at the front no greetings...nothing. came to this location because I was hungry and had a coupon. My son and i ordered the same thing. When it came time i gave the girl my coupon realized it was the wrong one and asked her to void the transaction she said she COULDN'T do it and i still had to pay. I tried to tell her it has happened in the past and she told me they are not allowed to cancel orders. I was really disappointed in the service and lack of respect...from now on im going to Jersey Mike's instead. I have always liked submarina until now read more

I hadn't eaten at Submarina in years but glad i did! Cali Club huge, fresh, amazing. There were 2 young guys there and they were super professional, friendly, organized. The shop was CLEAN, the guys were dressed professional wore gloves. I dont know about other shops but this was awesome. Its pricey compared to u know where but the sub wad like 10 lbs heavier so worth it! read more

This sandwich place is life it was so delicious and the bread was my absolute favorite! I forgot the name of the bread, but it's like a wheat bread, the one they bring you a starter at Cheesecake Factory ! & the people that work here are pretty nice read more

This place is mediocre at best. Me and my soccer buds broke the toaster! At least get a toaster that can hold 16 people in a row!!!!! Also I got the Santa Fe salad and they put deli meat in it! Freaky! My soccer bud Sasha said her tuna salad was pretty good! Get what u want but I rate it 3 stars! read more

Just like any other Submarina, but the people here really did not want to be there. Barely any avocado on my Cali sub, and everything put mostly on one side, so one half was mostly veggies and the other mostly meat and cheese. This location doesn't have the regular soda options, but has peach iced tea and regular lemonade added. Otherwise, just like any other Submarina! read more

I just had the Albacore Tuna on squaw bread (with everything but onions) and it was delish!! Everything tasted very fresh and I love the bread (it's a brown bread, kind of sweet). Would highly recommend. Will be back!! read more

Every time I come back I find the bread to be less and less tasty. Not quite the Submarina I remember from about 5 years ago. The meat portions have shrunk and the staff don't seem eager to earn a tip as I have to tell them multiple times put something on or keep it off. I have a free sub waiting for me but I think I will just stick with Port of Subs because the Sandwiches just taste better. Still better than a Subway. read more

The only reason I'd give this place three stars is because the sandwiches were good, but it's not that hard to make a sandwich so that doesn't mean much. The service on the other hand was terrible, the women working were rude and impatient and clearly didn't like their job. We were the only ones in the store and we were being rushed out the second we walked in. It was not an inviting atmosphere at all and we weren't treated like customers, rather they acted as if we were a burden to their establishment. As we are both waitresses and thoroughly understand being in the service industry, we hope that if we ever return something will have changed. read more

I grabbed a 6 inch turkey bacon and avacado sandwich here and it was $7.99. It didn't come with a drink or chips or anything else. I hate to say that I'm disappointed. Jersey Mikes is much better. The only thing I liked was the Squaw bread (Cheesecake Factory serves it in case you're wondering what it is. While sandwich was being made I was asked what I wanted on it and there were only olives ,lettuce ,pickles ,onions,sprouts, and tomatoes in view. Apparently they hide cucumbers, mixed greens, and spinach behind counter. I had to ask lady to remove the lettuce when I asked if they had anything else vegetable wise! Also they won't grill onions but have the ability?? I feel kinda cheated here. I won't be back but maybe you'll have a better experience than I did. I like subway better too and wished I didn't try something new. Wasted my money. I even asked for toasted but I think they put it in there 2 seconds! It wasn't like I imagined it would be. read more

This is the first Submarina experience I've had were the employee looked as if they didn't want to be there. I never got a hello or how are you, just a what do you want! She never smiled or made eye contact. The cashier was the same! WOW..worst experience, that location lost my business. Visit was on 1/4/2012 read more

I love submarina but this was the worst sandwich experience ive ever had with a restaurant. At first glance the store itself was unkempt at best. Hot as heck with one sad fan in one corner of the room; flies buzzing around everywhere in the food; 2 girls behind the counter who looked like theyd rather be literally anywhere else; just overall dirty and unwelcoming. Still my companion wanted a sandwich and we were in hurry so we (being the only people there) proceeded to order. I got a tuna melt on squaw bread and at first i asked for pepperjack cheese but 2 seconds later changed my mind to cheddar. The girl asked if smoked cheddar was okay and i said yes so not being able to see over their case of bread to see her actually placing the cheese on the bread i moved down the line. Now im in food services in pretty much the exact same setting as submarina or subway or chipotle... Etc, so i know when it gets really busy and people tell you all the things they want at one time and all of a sudden you have to remember 7 whole orders and help the next people it gets difficult and sometimes you have to ask again what they wanted. But the next girl, after i stated "only mustard for me please" asked not once not twice not even 3 times, but SIX TIMES what i wanted on my sandwich; every time i gave the same response "just mustard please". SERIOUSLY? Pay attention!!! I was the ONLY person in line. In addition to that mess, the toppings on the line lettuce tomatoes etc looked old tired soggy gross inedible etc... All of the above. It wad all just sitting there in the hear with flies everywhere all day so understandable it was expiring quickly. The most noticeable was the avocado though which was probably the saddest looking sliced avocado ive seen in a restaurant( including subway). It was browning and obviously mushy as heck totally unappetizing. So after my back and forth with this girl i finally made it to the cash register where a big loud guy who i can assume was the owner rung me up ( hed been standing off to the side watching this all occur while loudly trying to make small talk across the room with my companion who was trying with the same amount of difficulty to communicate his order) so we paid got our sandwiches to go and drove home where upon biting into my tuna melt i realized the first girl, after double checking cheddar was what i wanted continued to put pepperjack on my sandwich! Needless to say it was a bad experience a crappy store and i will not be back. Overall it was unclean unfriendly and untrained.0 stars read more

The food isn't bad but it's not worth the price. The thing that makes me not want to go back is the service. I've been a couple times now and have had horrible customer service. Each time I give them the benefit of the doubt and think maybe the girls working there are having a bad day but it seems to get worse each time. From the moment I order I seem like a total inconvenience, funny considering its their job. I probably won't be returning. I'd rather go to firehouse (better, cheaper, and for most of the time better service) read more

I eat here fairly regularly. The food is consistent, but the service is lack luster. The employees just seem to go through the motions. As little interaction with the customer as possible and a smile is out of the question. Bit of a shame read more

Definitely not the best Submarina experience I've ever had, but not awful. I think they might of just been having an off day. We came in on a Sunday and their chip selection was totally wiped out....they didn't have my or my husband's go-to fave, which is a big part of our sandwich eating experience (we like to put the chips inside the sandwich). How does a sandwich place not have chips stocked at all times? Apparently, the toaster was also not working, which is a huge bummer if you walk in visualizing a nice toasty sandwich. Anyways, our sandwiches still tasted good and my husband was stoked that they now serve beer. We received a free water, which made up for the poor chip selection and earned them an extra star for this trip. When we first walked in I was thinking we should have gone to Port of Subs and when we left, I was thinking that I'll definitely give them another chance in the future. read more

quite disappointed! i wanted submarina because i wanted a good sub sandwich. So i arrived there around 8:30 and noticed it was already closed!! even though on the website it reads open till 9pm. Nobody was inside and the blinds were already down, i mean if you wanted to not make money then might as well close at 7. read more

The lady with the curly hair is awesome. I've been coming here for 4 yrs and love the chipotle mayo dressing!!! They make my sandwich just the way I like it!!! read more
