This place doesn't look like much but has a small town live in every bite. This sub sandwich I had was truly delicious and reminded me of my grandmother's turkey sandwiches she made me when I was young. My joy came from especially getting a spear pickle at checkout! The staff were all friendly and helpful. When I come back through Fort Madison I'll stop by again. read more

Usually my first stop when I come home, the best sandwiches in the world! #1 Half on White hot. Will probably never change that order. Also the pickles and potato salad are to die for! read more

BEST sub sandwich place around. BEST service. They've remembered my order for years!!

Very tasty subs and salads. The only negative is they aren't always open, but when they are I recommend it.

Great food, excellent staff and great service. This is a awesome sit down restaurant. I personally think this is a better version of subway. Since I was little I went here and I've always loved the art on the walls and the environment alone. Strongly recommend read more

What a great place to get a GREAT sandwich at a great price. The service has always been great when I've visited, and the staff always very friendly. And, oh, by the way, they now accept credit cards. Definitely give this place a try. It's nothing fancy but always delicious. read more

Subway is a good place to grab a sandwich and drinks. Friendly and quick. Quality of the food is great.

A must go if your in Fort Madison. Try one of their best sellers...a whole sandwich is an extremely large portion that you can enjoy there and bring home leftovers read more

I hear the food is good and the team works hard. My buddy was there today and some guy from Texas was rambling on and on while waving his arms and that was distracting. He said the food is good and there is plenty of parking. Other than that, keep up the fine work. read more

Great Sandwiches and have shaved ice to go with your drink! The staff is very nice and friendly!

Excellent subs! Customer service is always good and very friendly! You get quite a bit of food too for what you pay.

Good subs. Nothing gourmet, but if you're looking for meat and cheese between bread in different configurations, this is your spot. Very reasonably priced, and I love that you can order a quarter, half, or full sub. As a grown man with an appetite, I'll wager that most people won't be able to eat more than a half sub by themselves, unless they haven't eaten in a week. read more

#17 no tomatoes has been my sub for over 2 decades. I still love it. I grew up eating here and still stop when I'm in Fort Madison for lunch. read more

Must have every time I come back home to Fort Madison. Wide variety of tasty sandwiches. Add vanilla to your Pepsi (their ice is awesome, too). Children's menu is great. Staff is super friendly. Convenient location near the middle of town. read more

Food is great. Slightly pricy but not bad. The problem is the service. It is awful. The workers are not nice. Also they refuse to take credit card. I imagine because the owner resists change or cheap both very probable. They refuse to have an ATM there so if you don't have cash (which most people don't now a days) you can't go. Subway is a better option. read more

Being there when suppoded to be open would be nice and closing for parties with no notice not very nice to do with loyal customers !

Number 1 warm on wheat with a pickle. You won't find a better sandwich or a nicer crew. Jaqueline is a great owner and always there to help out in the community. read more

Best subs anywhere! Fresh bread, real cheeses, and the best dill pickles! Warmed sandwich with a homemade soup? Nothing better. #11, # 17, or # 21 are sooooo good! The ladies are so nice and friendly, too. Must stop if you are in SE Iowa! read more

A good fresh deli sandwich available in a small town. Nothing too special or unique on the menu, then again, good fresh meats & veggies in the right quantities make for a solid and enjoyable sandwich. Don't know how much competition they have other than the typical fast food chains, but would recommend if you're in the area and want a deli sandwich. read more

We decided to support the local high school by purchasing a saver card and patronizing the merchants that are on the card. The savings for sub arena states buy one half sandwich and get a free medium drink. We purchased a whole sandwich - showed our card and they did not want to honor the free drink. When we asked would not they would not give us an answer. After we left, we looked at the menu again and discovered they charge $2.00 more for a half sandwich than a whole which is okay but it really upset us that they would not explain this and that they won't get you a medium drink which probably cost them maybe $.50 with a whole sandwich. Way to go in supporting your customers and the local high school.nb read more

Fresh food, friendly people, and decent prices. Sub-Arena is truly a favorite amongst us locals!

Great bread! Love their warm 21 with a pickle!
