Captain Bill's Submarine in north Phoenix is cheap, quirky AND yummy. This little local dive /…read morehidden gem is celebrating 45 years in Phoenix this year, and it should absolutely be celebrated. Walking inside feels a little like a sandwich shop, arcade and pop-culture time capsule had a baby... and then covered that baby in bumper stickers! At this wonderfully weird, slightly chaotic, old-school Phoenix institution, you can get an Italian sub for $2.99 and add a 24-oz fountain drink for another $2. In 2026. In Phoenix. Yes, those prices are American dollars. So... what inflation? Now, this is of course their cheapest deal, but the rest of the menu is still really reasonably priced. Minimalists, avert your eyes. Every available inch is covered in bumper stickers, vintage photos, signs, collectibles and random quirky artifacts, with old-school arcade games thrown into the mix. It's the kind of place where you could spend your entire meal just reading the walls. I got the veggie sub, which came loaded with FOUR different kinds of cheese, plus all the veggies, and they filled that thing TO. THE. BRIM. Fresh, flavorful, gloriously overstuffed, and messy in the best possible way. Also, the best service - the staff really is the sweetest over there, which I wouldn't necessarily expect from this kind of establishment. An easy 5 stars for me!

The shop has a few arcade games you are able to play & it is absolutely packed with decorations…read morefrom various movies, video games, cartoons and more. Everywhere you look you will see something new, and there are a ton of stickers all over everything as well with silly sayings, so you could spend quite a bit of time here just looking at everything. Price wise, it is on par with other sub shops such as Subway or Jersey Mikes, they had a few deals on the windows out-front however when we looked at the menus, we didn't see anything about the deals mentioned. The sandwiches themselves were good, instead of having big chicken meat chunks like Subway tends to have in their sandwiches they had deli shaved chicken. There were eight of us in total who had a sub, and none of us were unhappy with our sandwich. I would stop by again if I were in the area to grab a bite to eat and take a look at everything in the shop again.

Despite my previous experience, I came back a couple times as Mel's Diner is further away. I don't…read moreremember what I ordered last time I was here, but I remember that it was good enough to warrant another trip. Well, today was not good. I ordered the Chicken-Fried Steak breakfast. I should have known better when the waitress said they hadn't received their shipment of white gravy, and all they had was brown gravy. White gravy is butter, flour, and milk. It's just about the simplest thing for a kitchen to make, and they get it in a box. Worst yet, they can't make any from scratch while they're out of the boxed stuff..? I'm going to guess the brown gravy came out of a box, too, because it was unremarkable. The CFS was clearly frozen. Very chewy, and not much flavor or crunch. The menu used to be colorful and full of photos. Now it looks like the first Microsoft Word Template someone clicked on. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the hash browns were decent. My guest had the corned beef hash and she was too full to finish it. So, I tried it and it was pretty bland, and looked like it came out of a can. I'll give them a second star for knowing how to cook an egg, but next time I feel like a good breakfast on this side of town, I'll just go to Denny's. Denny's is much better than Kay's.

I have to say I have passed this place a million times and was unaware it was even here. The area is not the best so honestly that's probably why I have drove by and not realized there's a restaurant in the center of the plaza. It's casual inside, an obvious comic fan and Jedi fan, which I found cool. I ordered the LB burger, my husband a double bacon burger and my son a carne asada burrito. My LB burger which has grilled onion tomato lettuce and an egg and cheese, was perfectly seasoned, a lot of times when you order a burger somewhere it lacks flavor, this did not. Probably one of the better burgers I have had in a long time. My husband enjoyed his burger and said the same thing about the seasoning being on point. My son enjoyed his burrito. Because of the reviews I came across most of them mentioned the cheesecake, naturally I had to order it and it was delicious. Service was good, and Chef Jose came out at the end to ask if everything was ok and how did we like it, well Jose we liked it very much and will definitely be coming back.

You actually taste the peppers, onions, and cheese without anything being too much. That's usually where spots mess up, but this one was on point. What I liked most--it wasn't greasy at all. Ate the whole thing and didn't feel heavy after. No bloat, no mess, just a clean sandwich that still hits. Bread held up, fries were good, nothing over the top--just done right. I'd easily come back for this. Probably one of those spots I could hit once a week and not get tired of it.

Super friendly service, food made to order. I was feeling like breakfast so I got French toast that came with a side of either bacon or sausage. I added on hash browns.

I wish I had stopped by earlier, so if you work nearby don't be a dummy like me! Good food, reasonable prices. They also had snacks, chips and other items.
