Darn, I could've been 1st to review as I visited a year ago in June 2025, but just hadn't gotten…read morearound to reviewing Sub Stop until now. It was funny just yesterday my girlfriend & I had a dessert coupon, free banana pudding from Mission BBQ. She said it was great, but not as good as the banana pudding at Sub place we were at in NY last year. I was thinking it was funny she brought that up as it was my next place to review on my alphabet series. I just reviewed R is for Raising Canes, and now representing 2025 in alphabet series, S is for Sub Stop.
My girlfriend & I were on vacation traveling to Niagara Falls & Toronto and going back toward home took long route to see Kingston, ON, Watertown, Syracuse, & Finger Lakes. We didn't want to waste much time with eating lunch. Skaneateles looked kind of snooty, not easy quick options. I said Auburn is far more major town with some options that'll be quick. Hungry, we continued westward. We settled on Sub Stop as it seemed like a decent quick local option.
This is a no frills place, basic counter seating, but good lighting. You order at the counter. Prices were reasonable. It was a Friday we were there, and tuna sandwich was the special. Tuna isn't my normal pick, which would be turkey, roast beef, or perhaps something else over picking tuna. I decided I was game to get the tuna since that was the special, and it's very rare I'd get a tuna sub or sandwich. Wow, their tuna was big & a nice large portion, which made the value even better! It was tasty too. There were a lot of black olives as I wanted. I believe we had chips too.
After we ate, my girlfriend suggested the banana pudding for dessert as it looked like a homemade one. I agreed it definitely did look good, but we did eat a big sandwich. She said she'll pay for it. I said ok, I'm game to try it. Wow, I think this was the best banana pudding I've ever had (it had chocolate chip cookie dough mixed in, which was awesome), which is saying a lot as I think banana pudding is a southern delicacy. I've had some very good ones especially the one year I lived in Alabama. Speaking of Alabama, when I saw Auburn, NY on the map, I thought of the college town with the school of same name, Auburn University War Eagle! Highly recommend the sub sandwich or at the very least giving the banana pudding a try here!
