When I want a sandwich I make a point of going to Marina Subs when I'm in the city for the day. My fav is the Reunion- turkey with the works and make it large so we can split it. The best thing is they toast the bread so crunchy out, tender in and with their special sauce, it pretty dang good! Window bar stools and counter means we can people watch and feel grateful for simple pleasures. read more

Solid, no-frills shop with a wide variety of subs. I got the Marine Submarine on Dutch crunch with chicken breast, cheese, avo, and jalapenos. It was definitely huge fresh portions and worth the price! Service was friendly. The inside ambience is not the focus here, so it's more of a grab and go setup. I'd recommend eating ASAP as the bread unfortunately got quite soggy from the chipotle mayo and veggies after a 10 minute walk. Parking is as expected for Marina neighborhood. read more

This is a no frills very reliable sandwich shop. Get your sandwich to go. They're huge and could be two meals. The cheese with everything had a huge uncut up avocado so it was tricky to eat. They go heavy on condiments so if you like it light, mention that. read more

I got the reunion sandwich which had turkey, cheese, pesto, avocado and veggies on sourdough. I got it with extra pickles. I got the larger size and split it for two separate meals. Portions quite large. They were also very fast which I appreciated as i was in a hurry. The sandwich really hit the spot and was decent for the price. read more

Excellent sandwiches- had the k which is a pastrami sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll. The sandwich had lots of condiments (special sauces) which made the sandwich very moist which i love. The Dutch crunch roll was the best I've had, make sure you ask for it with your sandwich . The sandwich could have had a little more pastrami to get a 5 star rating . Btw they DO take credit cards now read more

The Mediterranean Way sandwich is the best ever. So tasty and delicious. Cannot rave enough.

I got the reunion and added jalepenos. It was SO SO good. It was also pretty huge. I had my boyfriend to get it for me so I can't speak on the ambiance or service but the sandwich itself didn't disappoint. Updated menu! July 2025. read more

I had the Atomic last Friday and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.. Bread was soft, fresh veggies and they are really generous with the portions of meat and the sandwich it self. I couldn't finish the whole thing. Definitely coming back here again! read more

People bought this but I don't think they have a clue what they are doing. They are so inconsistent you never know what you are going to get. There are no sides, potato or cole slaw, not that they'd know what is classic and good. The sandwiches are small, they don't need meat, they need veg. Barely a tomato. No salt and pepper. No dill pickle spear. How do you go through all the trouble of opening a business and then run it like this. They don't cut the round, hard end of the soft bread off like Kyu used to do. Tip guys: No one cares about your floor if the food is excellent. Travel, eat sandwiches in NY, Boston, etc. Go see what a sandwich can be bc right now you suckatit. read more

Nudged them to a fourth star for heart and great service. I really like these guys and want to see them succeed. That said, they need to look at their menu ingredients and rebalance. I ordered the Red Balls (meatballs, provolone, onions, jalapeño, marinara) and Spicy Bella (Buffalo chicken pepper Jack cheese, jalapeño, ranch). Both sandwiches were good, had quality ingredients but the amount of sauce in the Spicy Bella was overwhelming: Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing poured out of my sandwich. Didn't have a single complaint from The Incinerator who nearly downed his meatball sub before I took a bite; it was tasty. The Spicy Bella had a delectable amount of juicy chicken. What it needed was balance and texture. I added crunchy romaine and it came to life. It was a counterpoint to the spiciness (advise less sauce & jalapeños too). I gave the owner the secret Buffalo sauce recipe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Buffalo wings make the menu - or used on the Spicy Bella. (And no, you may not have it!) Prices are a touch high ($17/$19 subs) but they don't skimp on quality ingredients. Recommend. read more

Marina Submarine - Dee-licious, like this spot - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

So disappointed with this place. If you want a $20 sandwich that's super messy because it's soaking in sauce and only has 1-2 slices of meat and full of vegetables, then go here. They charge $3 extra for "extra meat" and add maybe 1 slice. The meat portion is so tiny. Even Subway does better. Order from Bite Sandwiches instead where they make real sandwiches, not a pile of soggy vegetables between bread. read more

Walking towards the Presidio and the Marina, I came across Marina Subs and saw it's been there for over 50 years. Of course I had to look it up and turns out the original owner had left but it was reopened with new owners. Looking at the photos of the sandwiches before and after, it's a night and day difference. Although the size of the sandwiches have remained the same. Looking at the menu, there's plenty of cool options and crazy combos so I decided to take a chance on the Atomic Sandwich. It had a few different meats, jalapeños, oil and vinegar and veggies. It was light on the meats and heavy on the bread. It didn't come with jalapeños, instead it was banana peppers (two completely different flavor profiles) The size of the sandwich reminded me of little luccas in SSF but I thought the overall flavor of this sandwich was lacking. I got it on sourdough roll, but unfortunately the bread didn't taste fresh. There was so much bread, it would help if they cut out some of the inside of the bread so the meats have a nice canoe to sit in. The sandwich with a tip came out to $22. I think for the flavor and quality, it wasn't something I'd order again. It wasn't the tastiest sandwich, but I think with a few minor tweaks they can get this right. The people inside were really nice and they were pumping out sandwiches really quick. If I return, I think i'll definitely go for something with dutch crunch and something that includes mayo or some kinda spread because the sandwich I got was too dry for my taste. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! They are massive and full of fresh ingredients. You DEFINITELY get your money's worth here. If you're looking for a proper deli sandwich, I highly recommend this place! read more

Hands down best sandwich in the marina, perhaps even in sf. A couple of caveats: it's pretty pricey for a standard sized meal, definitely save this trip for a special occasion! One sandwich will cost you around $18 of not more. Secondly, they are busy so order ahead if you don't want to wait as long. Prep time is still around 15-20 minutes. Third, check your order before you leave, I ordered a Coke 0 and received a Diet Coke, and us Coke 0 girls know how big of a difference that is I will be back for sure next time I'm craving a delicious sandwich for a special occasion. read more

Marina Submarine - The Italian Marine's - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finally got to try this place for lunch and it didn't disappoint! I asked the worker their most popular sandwiches, and The Reunion was one of them. I ordered and got the sandwich within 10 minutes! First of all, it's huge for the price you pay (a little over $16). I'll be having the other half for dinner. The Dutch crunch was toasted so it was warm and crispy. The best part was the pesto and turkey plus the pepperoncini. By far one of the tastiest sandwiches that I've had in awhile. I do think they should have a better vent to help with the smokiness when they're cooking. I did end up eating there and felt like I was eating inside a kitchen. Other than that, I would come back to try their other sandwiches. read more

New owner but still the best sub sandwich anywhere. I drive 60 miles round trip to get the Italiano!

Marina Submarine makes the besttt turkey bacon avocado sub I've ever had, and that's saying a lot, considering I was a Subway sandwich artist back in 2012. The dutch crunch bread is perfection and overall just a 5/5 star sandwich experience anytime I come here. So so good! read more

Very nice inside you can sit and wait for your food. Wait is like 5 minutes ( if that). I had an issue with my DoorDash order and they happily fixed my issue the next day. Now i will make sure to come a few times a month :) no picture i ate my sand-which in the car read more

Marina Submarine - Affogato - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

for a $20 "sub" there should be more than two thin slices of deli meat on this. I shouldn't have to pay an extra three dollars for one or two slices of turkey. I've always loved the spot, but this makes me not wanna go back again. The sandwich was all mayo and bread. Very disappointing and I feel like I just wasted $20. When your customers are paying $20 for a sandwich, you should put more meat on it. read more

Always the most fire sandwiches ! They are HUGE!! Literally they are the size of my forearm sometimes LOL. Always friendly cashiers too, have a good selection of chips to pair with the sandwiches.

My Saturday side-hustle gig is nearby this little sandwich spot. Turns out is a Cow Hollow culture catch. A simple menu. The Hot Pastrami caught my eye. Three sizes to choose from and yes, medium is built for two persons or one hungry gal or guy. Ordered a small. The lovely owner is meticulous in building the sandwiches and they picture what a sammie should be. Nothing fancy, just your typical lettuce, tomato, etc. I got half of a jumbo pickle. The French bread was fresh, which is always the foundation for the meal. All-in-all just excellent! So good I will just not bring anything from home in the future and this will be my go-to Saturday spot. It's cash. Just like it should be! read more

Went to Marin Subs today to see Q. He is no longer there and has retired. Asked the person at the new register "are the sandwiches still the same?", he said "yes." So we tried to order: small turkey, provolone, no onion, special sauce. Cashier was confused. We asked again, aren't the sandwiches the same? He said, "yes", again. Then asked us what kind of bread we would like. We asked "which bread is the usual bread?" He said, "the soft roll" but looked confused. Sandwiches were made by someone facing away from you toward the wall. No smiles. No warmth. They seemed genuinely annoyed we were there. Q may have been a man of few words, but he was warm to the community. He was your friend. We then opened the sandwiches when they came, lettuce is flat, not shredded. They forgot the special sauce and seemed confused when we asked for it. Turkey tastes completely different. Cheese tastes different. Bread tastes different. Avocado is chucked not sliced then. Not only are they not the same sandwiches but it is clear every single part of the sandwich has been changed. Please don't call the sandwiches "the same" when they are not. Or, please talk to Q and nail down the exact recipe and have him train your staff or make a YouTube video for all of us to learn how to make them. Otherwise, take them off your menu and just do something entirely new. Another long time customer came in while we were there who had been eating there her entire life, had the same experience, started crying and left. Q had a loving community of customers. My hope is that you take the feedback from the community and try to make Marina Subs like they should be made and the customers will bring the love back your way. But right now, you are turning everyone away. I will come back in a month and see if things improve as I am sure you all are getting this feedback every single day. read more

Great submarine, i have gone back before for a couple options and not expensive at all!

Best sandwiches in town! Make sure to get on Dutch crunch. Then, finish off with Mitchell's ice cream! My family likes to grab sandwiches before going on picnics, but sometimes we stay in eat at the counter by the windows, and watch the world go by. The team who owns and operates Marina Subs is so lovely. We know each other by name, and it feels really good to feel that sense of community. read more

I had the opportunity to try Marina Submarine over the weekend, and let me tell you, you need to share one of those sandwiches with your loved ones because they are gigantic. I tried K's Special on a Dutch Crunch, and it is texturally one of the superior sandwiches I've had. The roll is crisp and soft and offers such a wonderful contrast to the fixings inside. For a pastrami sandwich, they're a little light on the pastrami itself, but it's absolutely loaded with everything else. The melted cheese, varieties on varieties of pickled peppers, and tangy sauce all make this a delicious experience. It's quite good, and I wasn't able to finish the sandwich on my own. Overall, a great spot in a great area, but I need to knock it for the dirty floors and excessively smoky room. I'll be back to try more, but perhaps at a park nearby instead of dining in. read more

I selected this place off of an SF Eater article about best sandwiches in SF. Big sandwich aficionado here. I'm going to leave my review in a linear order. I discovered at the cash register that they're cash only. Call me particular but I am turned off by businesses that don't take credit cards. Especially given that so many have pivoted away from cash only during the pandemic. Fortunately, my fiancé had cash. I had been deciding between here and Lucca a few blocks away (also on the SF Eater list), and had we been forced to go to an ATM to pay, probably would have shifted to Lucca. But nonetheless cash we had so we ordered. There was only one person making sandwiches so was informed it would be 20 minutes. Also was not crazy about the fact that fountain sodas do not come with free refills (they're $2). All that said, when the sandwiches were ready 15 minutes later, they were absolutely fabulous. We both got the classic submarine sandwich (me the medium, fiancé the small). Seriously the bread was to die for and they put a heaping amount of shredded lettuce (which I love) and a fair portion of meat. It was delicious. And honestly, I like big portions, but I would probably go with the small next time. It was very large and a great value. 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, chips came out to be $38. I would encourage them to start taking credit cards. Had we not had cash, I likely wouldn't have come back. But all in all a delicious product. read more
