I've tried pretty much every sandwich shop within 3 miles of my work, and Planet Sub is one of the few that I crave after several months away.
I believe this franchise was taken over by a couple who seem to run the whole operation, from taking orders to making the sandwiches to cleaning up. I haven't see another employee around. They are friendly and do a good job of running the place.
If you haven't been to a Planet Sub, they have a bunch of sandwich options and they all come on their toasted hand-rolled bread (I think it's white but it may be wheat...after 15 years I still don't know...) . I've tried about 5 different sandwiches over the years but my staple is the Superhero (their take on the Italian). The Dagwood's Dream is another favorite (Roast beef, pastrami, ham + veggies). Their prices are still good...typically on the lower side of their competitors for the half sandwich.
The shop itself is just the right size- seating for about 20-30 people tops, one of the mini Coke Freestyle machines and a small shaded patio (overlooking fake wilted plants in the common area...so strange).
Overall, this Planet Sub location is a solid lunch spot. read more
