    Chicken Salad on Croissant with Pasta Salad
    Sandra C.

    This restaurant has been in the heart of Downtown Statesville since 1980, in other words, I've been eating here since I was a kid and it was here long before there was a Subway, Jersey Mike's or Groucho's Deli in town! It is a staple for native Statesvillians and it's a part of this town's history! Sub Express is an original restaurant created by a Statesville resident, so don't expect the same food or service that you're served in other deli restaurants, it's really like comparing apples to oranges! My favorite sandwich from Sub Express is the Chicken Salad on a Croissant Roll! This sammie is the longstanding Friday Special! This special is served as a "meal deal" with their classic Pasta Salad and a drink. I always get their Sweet Tea with my combo, it is the BEST tea in town! The Chicken Salad is simply delicious with nice bite-size chunks of tender chicken meat in a creamy sauce, might be just mayo BUT it sure doesn't taste like it! When you couple this creamy Chicken Salad with a fresh, buttery, soft and flaky Croissant Roll, you've got yourself a wonderful flavor match! There's just something about the two together that brings out the best in the other. The Pasta Salad is another creation from the original Sub Express owner/creator that has stood the test of time! This pasta salad starts with tri-color pasta and adds in some tiny pieces of fresh, chopped broccoli and cauliflower before marinating it in another creamy sauce which is definitely NOT just mayonnaise. This creamy sauce has a tangy zip to it, along with a garlicky punch! Best part is, you can grab a container large or small "to-go" for later and trust me, you'll be glad you did! The longer it marinates, the better it gets! Over the years, I have tried many of the other menu options and they are all good! Sub Express has a nice salad bar, too! Desserts can vary (like a daily special) but there are typically fresh baked cookies available everyday. Also, it is one of the only restaurants in town where you can get a Diet Sunkist (my SO's favorite!). Sub Express can get very busy at times, so keep this is mind if you're in a hurry or on a time schedule. Statesville loves Sub Express and we appreciate that their food is made to order! Therefore, we expect to wait for ALL the goodness we know we will have in our near future! Thank you Sub Express for your 40+ years of serving Statesville! Here's to 40 more!! #supportsmallbusiness #eatlocal #shoplocal

    Well this place was a nice surprise. The decor is confused and sound from 3 tvs is annoying but the sub was the best I've had in 30 years.
