You can even get crushed potato chips on your sub which is awesomely yummy! Jalapeno chips? Yes! Zaps amazing chips from New Orleans? YES! My strict diet prevents this kind of thing anymore but I can still have an amazing salad with tons of spinach, veggies and bacon! The best part is the staff are always positive, helpful and ready to make the sub happen quickly but not in a hurried manner, if that makes any sense. The two ladies working a few days back when I visited were, I recall, Michele and Nicole! Thanks for going the extra mile with a smile! Life is good with local, fresh, fun Gateway Sub shops!

Served hot and stayed hot the entire duration of eating it.. maybe 16 minutes. It's just magical! Husbands' first time here and he definitely loved it too. I must add, his drink of choice everywhere is lemonade, and it usually tastes like dirty dishwater ( not that I've ever drank that!) , but here it was as good as Chic Fil-A! Portions of food and drink are huge; she brought out his lemonade and my water and I swear the cups are half gallon size! We split the 10" sandwich size, and it was plenty, as well as an order of tots cooked perfectly. This place is located in a strip mall on the road in/out of the Ellenton Outlet Mall. Nothing fancy, but not a dive either.

PJ's Sandwich Shop absolutely knocked it out of the park. I ordered the Deluxe, and when they…read morehanded it to me I honestly couldn't believe the size of it -- this thing was HUGE. Packed from end to end with fresh ingredients and stacked high, it felt like they didn't cut any corners at all. The flavor was incredible. Every bite was perfectly balanced -- fresh bread, generous portions of meat, crisp toppings, and everything tasted high quality. You can tell they care about what they're making. It wasn't just big for the sake of being big -- it was genuinely delicious. Super yummy, super satisfying, and one of those meals that actually leaves you full and happy. The service was great too -- friendly staff and quick turnaround. The whole experience just felt welcoming and worth it. If you're debating on what to order, get the Deluxe. You will not regret it. I'll definitely be coming back again soon!

Again the food is fresh and uses a lot of their own produce from their farm on Pine Island, Cape Coral Florida. In February 2026 I visited Yellow Deli in both Vista, CA and Valley Center, CA in addition to touring their farm a short distance away. Greatly impressed with the service at the three locations and the hospitality I have received from them. The Arcadia Yellow Deli knew I was going to Vista and was given the honor to hand carry a gift from their staff to the Valley Center location (roasted coconut shavings with maple syrup drizzle). Was also a pleasure seeing Dasha again, a few weeks after he left Arcadia back to California. I can not express enough what an experience and pleasure it is to visit Yellow Deli, you will not be disappointed.

Things have not been updated in years but you're not there for the ambiance, you're there for the sub. They only serve one sandwich, the Italian. You can choose small or large, and then choose your toppings (all the way, or subtract toppings). For $13 I ordered the large, and it is very big at 16 inches. The sandwich is stacked and you could probably share a large between 4 people. Overall it's a great sandwich at a great price. Their single sandwich choice really limits their appeal, but it is done very well.

Anna's Deli is a local staple I had the pleasure of discovering this year, and when I tell you I should really start billing them for this sandwich living rent free in my mind 24/7 -- I'm serious! This sandwich is a simple concept: ham, turkey, Swiss, cucumbers, and Anna's sauce on marble rye. Somehow, though, it manages to be so insanely delicious I just have to eat the massive thing in one sitting every time! Beyond having the world's best beach sandwich, Anna's Deli is absolutely adorable on the inside, giving authentically retro vibes calling back to a time before cell phones and having to pay for beach parking. The staff are always friendly and kind, even when I once showed up 15 minutes before they closed (sorry about that! I desperately needed my fix).
