Great sandwiches! Fast and easy transaction. I always get the large one that ends up being 5$ even. Pretty sweet! All the toppings are awesome. Chopped up tomatoes pickles and onions rule.

The submarine sandwiches are truley the best Ive tasted in california. Try the pepper steak it is out of this world. I'll have to admit though the pastrimi is better at the Los Feliz location.
