    Sub King Baby!
    Mike A.

    Coachella kids need to understand that this is where there locals eat. Sub King has been a staple of Hwy 111 for decades. They recently sold it to an employee who has been making their sandwiches for 30 years! How cool is that! She cleaned up the look, but kept the menu the same, and why not, it's perfect! We showed up as she was locking the door to close up. I yell out of the window as we parked, noooooo! We came from San Francisco to try some of our old favorite places! And she said she'd open back up to make us some sandwiches really quick! How awesome! If I had to rank all of my ratings, Sub King would be at the top! Sub King is family friendly, you can eat it everyday, it's made fresh, they're consistent, they're affordable, and it is damn good! My dad brought me here and now I got to bring my son here! Thank you Sun King! Shaq, ya gotta come back

    Chilis in my sandwhich! I said no chillis, i wrote deathly allergic to chili peppers.

    I am livid. I ordered a sandwhich and wrote I was deathly allergic to chilis My sandwhich has chilis and I ate it. Now I am suffering and my throat is closing and I am having to take so much medicine and experience excrutiating pain that can last month or more. I may also die and that is horrible. Why did you do that!

    The subs are made to order. The large is worth getting as its just a few bucks more than a small, which is a 6", and quite pricey for that size. I shared the Italian Cold Cut and it was delicious on French bread. A 1/2 of the large was "just enough" without making me feel overly full. There's not a lot of tables, but I did see some outside.

    Simple and quaint. Very clean sun shop, with two ladies working here! The cashier was so nice and clear to repeat your order. The lady making can make a fully heartfelt Turkey meat sandwich. She fills that sandwich! All and All it was worth my patronage. The price is pretty average as well.

    Italian Cold Cut; yum!

    They serve a very solid sandwich here. The ingredients are clearly fresh. I ordered the Italian cold cut. Somewhat ironically, I prefer a hot sandwich, and they told me they could warm it up. I got it in wheat bread. It was delicious! I especially love their vegetable mix that they put in the sandwich. It definitely took it to the next level. I also tried my boyfriend's super sub, which was also tasty (although I'm partial to Italian sandwiches so still liked mine better). They were very friendly and served us efficiently. I would definitely come here again when I'm in the area.

    Tasty subs!! Have been going to Sub King since 94! I have moved out of the area and this was first time back in a while. Got to say that the shop in Indio has since closed down but glad this one in Palm Desert still going strong. So ordered my original go to sun of Avocado turkey and bacon...aka Sub Club #3 and a Italian Cold Cut . Got to say they have never been shy with the avocado. It's not like other spots where they give u a few slices nope!!! They have it mashed up and spread all over the bread roll!! You are guaranteed a bite of avocado eat and every time. Also they use a diced dill pickles as part of their sides not those pesky sliced pickles, but fresh cut diced whole dill Pickles! Was packed with turkey and tasty crunch bacon! The Italian cold cut was packed with meat and cheese and definitely hit the spot... They have a regular and large sized subs. Hard ordered two lattes and ate half of each. Also on a side note that the French roll held up even 4 hours later when we had the rest of the subs. None of that soggy bread you get at other spots within minutes. Def glad I stopped by! Will def make this again and again when back in town.

    Yummy pastrami and cheese sub. Delicious

    Delicious Pastrami Sub! Hubby & I enjoyed! i used to go to this Sub King a long time ago & it still tastes delicious.. The tables got upgraded & its a clean convenient place to go.

    Why was I charged $14.00 for the smallest "small" sub sandwich I have ever seen when they're supposed to cost $6.59? I had them add avocado and was asked if I wanted mayonnaise, onions, pickles, and tomatoes, to which I replied, "No pickles and tomatoes." So, I received a healthy quantity of mayonnaise and raw, overpowering onions. I'm also not a fan of their method of chopping their onions, pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce into small chunks, because it all just falls out of the sandwich. There's definitely better and more affordable sandwich shops in Coachella valley. I recommend trying one of those instead.

    Italian sandwich with just about all bread...
    Jason S.

    I'm really sad I have to write a negative review because I always loved this place. Lately the sandwiches haven't been very good at all. There has been very little meat and everything seems like less quality. I did give Sub King 5 stars previously, but the last couple times have been disappointing. The reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the customer service has remained amazing! I'll insert a picture of the bread to meat ration below! I've been coming here since I was a little kid so I hope it gets better!

    Love this place. Just about the freshest ingredients in town for a great sub. Whether it be a chicken sub or the Italian sub with extra salami added, they make the best subs around. And such a convenient location. Right next door to my health food store and my lotion store. Gives me 2 reasons to head over for lunch. I can bet you that a better sub is hard to find..

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.
