Bugs
Mirian M.

I hate to leave a bad review because I genuinely really liked this place but this is disgusting! I had to throw away a recently opened salad because I found a dead fly In it and a bug on other side of the salad! Mind you this was about to be the first bite!! Who knows how long that thing was flying around in my food. For a place that charges $25 for a salad,fry and extra ranch (that they forgot to put in the bag) they need to pay better attention to their food and wash the lettuce! Sadly I was on my lunch so I couldn't go back in person.

Menu 11/17

I've been coming here for decades, and saw they recently started offering pizza. Not just pizza, but Carne Asada pizza, I had to give it a try. I will always love the Gyros from here, and look forward to being on this side of town and visiting them again

They have a great menu

Food is really good. You have a great mix of Greek and American food. They have pizza, gyros, salads, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and all the sides. This place has a small town feel. I didn't catch the name of the girl at the counter, but she was great. We would have made a mistake and ordered a large salad if she hadn't told us how big it was, so thank you, we don't like to waste food. Everything had such a good flavor, I hope we can get back while we are here because I want to try one of the burgers. Great little place

The food is alright..pretty good; the man at the front counter is really nice, and service was fairly fast on a busy day. I would definitely come back to try something new! No drive-thru, but lots of seating inside, and the option to-go.

Gyro Sandwich (Partial). This should be thin, but looks like thick carne asada or somethin.
Kim G.

This place was a favorite of mine because the Gyro was always great! The meat was always perfect, and it matters to me! Recently, 2 times out of 4, I would've went somewhere else altogether. This particular time the meat was cut super thick and chunky, only like 2 strips were the right thickness but not cooked well, or to that golden brown perfection. If this is normal for the "Gyro Sandwich" somehow, please let me know so I can update my review. I have ordered this b4 but mostly the get the "Gyro Salad". Seems like meat would be the same tho. Also, I don't remember these little mushy tomatoes either. There was way too much. Seemed like almost half ratio to meat.

The delicious Garden Burger
Victoria B.

We were in the area to take our son to the Children's Discovery Museum next door. Unfortunately, I didn't order/pickup the food due to our sleeping toddler -- I stayed in the car with him, while my husband got the food (service was a bit slow). They make a damn good garden burger! It was so simple, but they packed it with so many delicious and fresh ingredients. The fries were really good too! My husband got the chili cheeseburger (he said it was good) & we got a corn dog for our son (he picked at it much later). I would definitely grab a bite from George's again the next time we're in the area. Apparently they're adding falafel to the menu next week -- keep an eye out for that my fellow vegetarian peeps! There's lots to choose from on the menu (breakfast items too! + some Mexican/Greek goodies).

1/4 lb. Burger and side of Fries! DELICIOUS!

### ** I Was a Faithful Meatball Sommelier... Until This Sub Stole My Heart!**…read more I don't take meatball subs lightly. In fact, I consider myself a certified **Meatball Sub Connoisseur**--a high-end *Meatball Sommelier*, if you will. For years, I truly believed my refined, highly trained tastebuds had already crowned the ultimate king of California meatball subs: Cortina's in Orange. I thought my search was over. I was set for life. And then... a happy little accident happened named **Rock n' Jenny's Italian Subs**. I ordered the medium meatball sub, expecting a standard lunch, and ended up having a full-blown spiritual experience. * **The Meatballs:** Unbelievably juicy and *clearly* homemade with love--just like Mom used to make! * **The Ratio:** Pure geometry perfection. The exact right amount of meatballs, melted cheese, and bread. * **The Crunch:** Perfectly oven-toasted so every bite gives you that glorious golden crunch. Would I come back and devour this again? **YES.** A thousand times yes. **Bonus points:** They're super into cars, so you get top-tier subs with awesome vehicle vibes! My tastebuds (and my car-loving heart) have officially found a new home.

He said it'd be a 15-20 minute wait for my to-go subs and he was spot on. Got the 9" Famous Turkey with the works and really enjoyed it. I wish they'd used a lighter hand with the house dressing though, because it was messy to put down and pick back up. They also didn't cut it in half. Wonder if this was a one-off mistake or a standard to-go thing. I've also ordered the meatball sub and it was very enjoyable as well.

The place is very quaint. The service is fantastic. Family owned. The food was delicious…read more Can't say enough of the experience. We will be again.

This is how you do it folks!…read more Been here three times and we've had different dishes every time and so far everything is delicious. Service is on point, like I said I've been here three times in probably 5 months and the crazy thing is on both return trips the guy recognized me like this is the epitome of mom & pop business right here. You feel seen and you realize the money your paying for your delicious food is going to real folks and not some corporate overlord nonsense. The vibe of the place is an industrial-esque sports bar the style that was super popular during the hipster face of restauranteering where everyone was going for the stripped down minimalist aesthetic but for this place it works. They have high seats, low seats and a couple TVs playing live sports with no real obstructions. We always come at off peak hours so I'm not sure how packed it would get but this seems like a good place to catch a PPV fight or something IF they don't pack everyone in like sardines. The food, jeez I should have probably made this the start of the review the food is decadent. EVERY dish we've tried has been packed with flavor, healthy portions, and fair prices. I recommend anything on the menu but if you want to get out of your comfort zone get the balkan fries, they're so good you won't regret it! This is the kind of place you want to see in business the people rock, the food is great, and you feel like part of the community patronizing here.

I highly recommend Submarina to anyone looking for a delicious, fresh, and satisfying sandwich. You definitely won't be disappointed!

Is there new ownership?…read more I haven't been to this location in several years. No reason other than circumstance. But today I was craving a Cali sub. I went in around 3 p.m. on a Saturday. There wasn't a customer to be found. The place was hot and uncomfortable. Granted, these things do happen so I can't blame the business entirely. I know times are hard. Heaven knows I'm on a budget like everyone else. But when I saw $13.99 for a regular sub (6 inches), I nearly turned around and left. But, again, the craving. So I sprung for a medium (9 inches) and forked over $18.99 plus tax. Even now, as I relax from having eaten, it's annoying to think there's a $20 bill sitting at the bottom of my stomach. I don't know...I didn't feel like I was getting any kind of experience. In the past, Bridgette (the owner, at least years ago) was always so jovial and friendly. While she made your sandwich she would ask about your day and how things were going. The gentleman who helped me was nice enough, but he wasn't entirely forthcoming. And he was wearing sandals which, having worked in the food industry for many years, is a huge no-no. My sandwich was good. It wasn't stellar. I enjoyed it. But it didn't hit the spot. The meat was sliced in four really thick slices; it wasn't "fluffed," the way they used to do. The toppings were fine enough. Again, it was good, but nothing to write home about. I'll give it another couple years before I go back.

I've been a fan since 2016 when I was eating there on the east coast and to me it was my place before Jersey Mike's exploded. They seem to be faster on the online ordering when it's busy than when it's slow. It seems like it's a centrally located store, but it's actually tucked away and not as easy to get to as other nearby FF spots. Fresh vegetable toppings, clean and crisp meats and flavors they aren't as heavy on dressings and sauces as other chains and I actually like how they do a more firehouse toasted subs style rather than just meat on the flat top. Stick with their classics, the chain isn't as good as others when it comes to new or niche flavors. I really miss the days when the chain was open late night.
