On my way to Legacy Brewing Company for this past Wednesday's Yelp Brewventure, my stomach started rumbling... and with my blood sugar dropping whilst in traffic, that wasn't a good thing. Remembering that I had purchased a Groupon sometime back for a $6 combo of sandwich, chips, and drink, and that this particular Submarina was on the way to the brewery, I figured it was time for a pit stop. I decided to order their Triple Play sandwich (turkey, ham, and roast beef with provolone - similar to Subway's Subway Club), and paid extra to add avocado to my order. One of the things I like about this local chain is that not only is everything fresh - including the meats, which were newly sliced for my meal - there's also sliced bread options such as squaw, sourdough, and rye (which I chose for my Triple Play), and they will toast your sandwich for you while you wait. Now, while I was somewhat disappointed by the Submarina location near my place... for some reason, my order turned out great. Maybe it was adding the avocado, or the freshly sliced meats, or even the Italian dressing I added to my sandwich, but I definitely was happy with my order! This Submarina's a bit out of the way, but the staff are friendly, the environs are clean, and the location's quiet. The folks in Vista/Carlsbad are blessed with a great sandwich place! read more

Nadine is a great employee! She was nice and patient as I was confused on what to add on my sandwich. She also asked if I wanted two types of sauces on the side and did that for me. Had a good time talking to her as I was paying for my food (i was holding up the line a lil lol) over all great gall! read more

I was charged twice for my meal. Really? I was surprised I needed to run my card a second time, but I thought it may be the machine, so I complied. I will be back to get my money. Not happy. read more

Great sandwiches. This is my daughters and favorite place to enjoy a sub. Clean tasty & fresh. The employees provide great friendly service. read more

This place deserves better reviews. Their sandwiches are gas and I hope they take Subway out of business. Can we just appreciate for sec how much subway sucks? After I got food poisoning there like 7 years ago, that was the last straw. You will never see me in a subway again. Perfectsubs is 100% the way to go. Anything over subway tbh. But they have nice avocado at perfectsubs too which is cool. read more

This is a great place to stop in if you are having a car washed across the street. I went in and tried their Peppered California sub which was fantastic. The owner gave me recommendations and how to construct the sub which was also helpful. Five stars !!! read more

I really do enjoy this sub place! The quality by far is the most fresh I have ever had. I work near buy and it's worth the 5 dollar fee to get it to me. The portion is big and price is right! My favorite part either has to be that they have Pepsi or that they have peppered turkey I cannot decide! read more

Great subs, great service! The food was so fresh and tasty and that boom boom sauce is great, thanks guys!

New to this area and decided to stop by one evening. I was the only customer and liked it since it reminded me of the sub shops in NYC, so I made a mental note to stop by again. Today, I stopped in when it was crazy busy. All of the employees worked together super efficiently, looked unfazed, and were genuinely pleasant -- I was truly impressed! Employees cleaned down tables frequently and the bathrooms were clean as well. Kudos to the management, this is a very well run establishment. Oh and the subs themselves taste fresh and great. Good array of options and are reasonably priced... can't say enough good things about Perfectsubs. read more

Sandwich is made fresh in front of you. They have a great selection and if you don't find what you want on the sandwich board they will custom make it for you. Great service but be aware they are super busy at lunchtime. Phone in pre-orders is recommended. Parking Is terrible be aware or you may have to hike a bit. read more

First time coming here to this sub spot and let me tell you I was very impressed with the selection of subs, I was craving a meatball sub so I got the 12 inch meatball and when I looked at the size of the bread I had a feeling this was going to be worth the money, surely enough I took a bite and I was blown away by how great this sandwich taste, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get great tasting subs, will definitely come back here again when I'm in the area read more

Far from "perfect". Very expensive, and pink lettuce rotting on the countertop that no one seemed to be bothered by. I came here for a quick bite after a workout after seeing that the menu was essentially what used to be offered at Sub-Marina, which I always enjoyed. Some of the things I enjoyed about Sub-Marina were still there: large menu, squaw bread, good sauces and good pickles. Service was fine too. The problem was the price and the lettuce going bad. My sandwich was about $8 for a 6 inch, which seems like way too much. I wanted to get a 9 inch, but then my sandwich would've been almost $11! Steak money! The amount of meat in the sandwich was below average, which was disappointing seeing as how other reviewers had commented on how much meat you got. And the LETTUCE! All of the lettuce was pink. Wilted and pink. I passed on an ingredient I wanted because it was going bad and no one seemed to notice or care. Unacceptable. There's potential here, but you either need to get more for your money or prices need to come down. Also, rotting ingredients are what will ensure I won't be coming back. read more

I'm not sure the name of my sandwich but it had turkey, cheddar, and tons of fresh veggies and avocado. The honey oat bread was absolutely delicious! Friendly employees and delicious sandwich, no wonder it's name is perfect subs. read more

Today, I donated blood for humanity and in return for my generosity in giving the juice of life (wait for it...), I was rewarded by my work with a $5 dollar gift certificate to Submarina. Though, a fleeting thought crossed my mind - my blood is equal to a pastrami sandwich. I hope vampires like a 9-inch pastrami (with everything loaded) combo of a regular soda (Dr. Pepper) and chips for about $11.50 and change total. For some reason, I totally expected that this SBM would not accept my $5 gift card, but they honored it gladly - so I paid about $6.50 instead. Honestly $11.50 seems steep but the gift cert made up for it. Besides, I have the other half of the sammich for later. The gal who made my pastrami suggested swiss (awesome) and toasted my order twice - bread then cheese FTW! That's service. This location does very brisk business from an art-deco inspired strip mall - seemingly, an island of respite - for the light industry and office professional uses along Palomar Airport Road. SBM is also as we all know it with its logo and funky wall color (is that teal?) that looks like a dated sport drink from a 99-cent store. Regardless, the staff is friendly, joking with the regulars and even asked me how I'd like to take my 9-inches (wait for it...) sliced - half, thirds, quarters? The line out the door moves quickly. I'm glad this shop does well. They seem to make a killing. read more

Good sandwiches with great combo flavors. Reasonable pricing. Lunch line went fast with nice friendly service. Definitely on our go back list read more

Great sandwiches. Freshly sliced meats. Better than Jersey Mikes, subway etc chain sandwich shops.

PrefectSubs took the spot of what was once Submarina. I came here today and it was nice to know that nothing has changed. The sandwiches are still prefect and large in size. Plenty of great meat, cheese and delicious toppings on placed all nicely together. Chip selection still on point and the most important thing is that they have Cherry Pepsi here! read more

Came here while waiting for my car to be washed after a hard workout. This is a cute little submarina that borders Carlsbad/Vista/beginning of San Marcos. It's tucked away so you wouldn't know it was out here unless you came for other reasons but I'm sure glad it is out here! Submarina always trumps Subway every time. The meats are fresh, they slice them up right in front of you, the cheeses are fresh and the avo is to die for. I can't not get Avo when I come here. Today I got the Cali on squaw bread with all the fixins'. And it was just delicious! The staff (Mark, Jermaine and Denise; forgive me if the spellings are incorrect!) were very friendly and I didn't feel rushed or like I was an inconvenience to them since there was only one or two other people here when I arrived. Sometimes when businesses are slow-ish they seem annoyed at having to work but they were all very polite and patient. Much prefer them to other sandwich joints that are around here. There's also another location that is just as great off Carlsbad Village drive too! Be sure to check it out if you're close to the beach and craving a sub! read more

Great sandwich. Got the 6 in ATC Avocado, Turkey Club with provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, banana peppers, black olives, sprouts, black pepper and Italian dressing on a honey oat roll. The sandwich was piled high, very fresh and excellent tasting! Same owners, better sandwichs! read more

I first saw this place looking for a sandwich shop, and like the name suggests, these are truly perfect subs. It reminds me of this mom and pop sub sandwich place I grew up close to in Chicago, and supersedes every expectation I had. If a sandwich can be better than the rose tinted lens of a childhood memory of a perfect sandwich, you've found heaven on Earth. read more

My wife were at target and found this place close by and thought we'd give it a try based of the pictures of their subs. Perfectsubs did not disappoint. The meats were quality and tasted great the bread was fantastic the condiments we generously applied and the staff was attentive and friendly. I usually eat a 12 inch from places like port of subs and the like but opted for a 9 inch here and it was almost too much for me to finish. The bread used is so dense and wide that you get more for your dollar than other sub shops. would go again read more

Greetings unto his Excellence, Sir Joshua Murch! I must say that you have a wonderful store, perfectly located in a nice shopping center with a beautiful landscape! Your restaurant is kept clean & refreshing. The Christian music that you play in the dining area is wonderfully delightful. And the sandwiches are great! The only area that you could probably really use a little help with is staffing some people with a little happiness, appreciation, hospitality, and zeal. I mean I see all these glorious comments about the staff you had 2 & 3 years ago and I think to myself, "Gosh, if I could only have met these people in this wonderful atmosphere back then, it would truly make my dining experience, today, absolutely stupendous!" But I just have to deal with your existing staff that kind of makes one feel like the wart on the princess' nose! I mean they aren't rude, crude, or obnoxious with their verbal expressions; however, there is the very real, underlying sensation in the attitudes that they harbor that truly makes a customer feel unwanted in your store! You should give your staff an injection of "happy juice" before they start their shift so that when your customers walk in the door your staff does things like greet them with a warm smile and say things like, "Hi there, how are you doing today?... Let me know when you're ready to order and I'll be right with you!" But instead it is more like, "Wait a second... I'll be with you in a minute... Is there anything else you want... Will that be all?" and things like that. And the dismal tone in their voices almost leads me to think that perhaps they are overworked & underpaid or something! But, I know that couldn't be the case for you're a Christian man who probably takes great pride in caring for his employees, right? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, yes? And, despite my own efforts that I have used, time & time again, to try instill a little hospitality and congeniality in your staff as they assist me and make my sandwich, I don't seem to be making any progress! Sometimes I begin by asking questions like, "So how are you doing today?" and I always get a very solemn, one-word response that says something like, "Alright.... Good... Fine!" Every once in a while they might ask me that question back and I say, "Absolutely wonderful!" So, I often think to myself, "Perhaps they are just young, unhappy staff members having to work for an hourly wage in the grind of our plutocratic society and are a little frustrated at this level of their lives?" So I try to add a little delight to their day by providing gratuities & tips and you would think, if this was, indeed, the problem, they would be overjoyed when their customers give them a gratuity/tip every time they go to have a fresh sandwich for lunch; but, instead, they just kind of have an attitude like, "Yeah, whatever!...." So, by time you finish your order and they are ringing you up they kind of swat you with this final comment that says something like, "Is there anything else you want?" or "Will that be all?" that kind of reeks of this attitude that really makes one feel somewhat unwanted & unappreciated! In fact, it has even caused me to ask myself from time to time, "Is this what you are tipping them for in their services unto you?" Now, I don't know what is causing that... perhaps I am just catching them too early in the morning at 10:00 a.m., just as they have rolled out of their cribs and lost their pacifiers! I don't know! But this definitely isn't a one-time experience... It happens every time I go in! And, I know you're probably a busy man who has many other things to attend to other than managing your store; but, I think it would behoove you to spend a little time overseeing a few things! Perhaps even fulfill a guiding role by showing them how you would conduct & fulfill these individuals roles while they watch your interaction! It would provide a wonderful source guidance, direction, & support that I believe they would even come to emulate in time & even share with your customers when you weren't there! read more

Was expecting a great place by the reviews and pictures. Instead the mustard and may were mixed together the tomatoes looked old and rotting. ITS A NASTY SUBWAY read more

Instantly regretted ordering here. I got the breakfast sub $6.50 for 6 inch. It comes with Egg, choice of meat (bacon, ham, steak). I wasn't expecting the egg to be that pre cooked microwaved fake scrambled egg. Only 2 thin slices of ham. I was hoping for an over easy egg or at least fresh scrambled eggs. I go to non chain, sandwich places expecting better quality. I'm not a huge fan of subway but I definitely would prefer it. I could have got a foot long sub for the same price. read more

I am pleased to see EVERYONE is properly wearing masks. The sandwiches are delicious!

The best subs and nicest owners and employees who work there. The cookies are delicious too!

My husband and I have been coming for years. EVERY experience has been 5 star food and experience for a reasonable price. Josh and the staff are friendly and super efficient. Many employees have been their long term and they work together as a fine oiled machine. They really care about their customers and attention to detail.. They are always spot-on with fresh, quality food, and total accuracy in making it to our special requests. The atmosphere is cute and always super clean - you rarely see a dirty table! read more

Way better than subway or jimmy johns. Great place for lunch and the employees are friendly

Ordered from them for the first time today, delivery and I am sitting here super happy eating my sub! They got order correct and the size is big for the price and I am trying to contain myself and not inhale the whole thing in one sitting. Been here in Vista for over 10 years and ashamed of myself for not trying sooner. Gonna have to order again soon so my hubby can try the Italian subs. Thank you Perfectsubs! see you again soon! read more

Great subs! Ordered the tuna on a French roll. Quality fresh ingredients, great flavor and very filling A bit pricey but otherwise great experiences read more

Great Sandwich, price was good, Fresh bread To be honest I cant complain, we purchase 12 sandwiches for our limited staff today all happy.... Buy Local! read more

This place is so good. It bums me out seeing only 3.5 stars. Staff are super friendly and they have nailed the bread to topping ratio (arguably the most important aspect of sandwich making). I'll be back here for sure. Thanks read more

Great subs and even better customer service I come here to see their smiling kind faces! Super fast staff!

This place holds up. Their subs are MASSIVE. over 5 inches wide, sometimes 4 inches tall, and packed with enough food for an eight hour Target shift. I tried the 9 inch east coast sub. Now, they do have Pepsi, but I was surprised to find it was expertly mixed, and didn't have that sickly sweet flavor and aftertaste most places have. It was probably the best diet Pepsi I've tasted since the Pepsi challenge. Having mental illness, soda us essential to improve my focus, and I know exactly how good it is from one sip. Pros: -huge, filling subs. Perfect for long shifts -great selection -local business -amazing soda quality -A ton of food for the money -quiet Cons -High cost. A 9 inch sub with chips and a large drink was 14.53 -not great for staying a long time, besides the back corner seat. -parents should know there is a coin-op gumball machine. Kids will go nuts over them. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. If you absolutely, positively got to stay fed for a long shift, accept no SUB-stitutes. read more
