Sub-marine is hands down the best sandwich spot. They give you a huge portion of deli meat and therefore their sandwiches are huge! I love their ATC sandwich with sprouts, tomato, onion and cucumbers. The service is great! Fast and friendly. Overall, an excellent spot to go for a quick bite. I heard they have great soups. I'll have to try one of them next time! read more

Amazing sub sandwiches! Their menu is huge and there are lots of options for customization. The sandwiches were super yummy, we tried the ATC and the House sub. The sandwich makers were so friendly and the ambiance was really comfortable, like being in a really familiar place where you can just come and relax and eat good food. 10/10 for customer service. The ingredients tasted SO fresh. Portions were big as well, I got a 6 inch and could only eat half. We'll definitely be regulars here. This is the best place to get sandwiches! I want to go again tomorrow! read more

How have we not been here before. Took my mom to her doctor and she wanted a sandwich. The bread was fresh and squaw bread is hit and miss most places. The meat was thin sliced, the avocado was ripe everything was good! We will come back plus they have a reward program as well. read more

This might just be the best sandwich I've ever had. The crew is clean, efficient, and very friendly. Definitely felt a family vibe.

PS: the sandwiches are huge and they make sure to stuff them full. read more

Always a pleasant experience coming here. So friendly and inviting. Serving soild sandwiches time and time again.

Was here for the first time and the sub was very good, but wanted to say how amazingly clean it was. While I was eating they were wiping down every surface, and there was nary a crumb on the floor or on any table. Can clearly see the pride this place has in their food and cleanliness. Will definitely be back. read more

So cute and great food! I will 100% be back. They have so many options and I'm sure all of them are great.

Since new Owner took over , food taste and Quality are 100 % better. Price way cheaper too

was in San Marcos for a high school wrestling event and since I skipped breakfast was seriously famished by late afternoon. checked Yelp for a sandwich-place recommendation and happily wound up at Sub-Marine. ordered #33 the BIG KAHUNA (ham, salami, roast beef, turkey, pastrami, provolone, avocado, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, Italian dressing). very solid sandwich. not shareable (or monstrously huge at the price point) but still managed to waddle out fat and sassy. family owned and operated with exceptionally friendly and efficient service and a warm, inviting vibe. read more

Our go-to deli for great and generous sandwiches! We don't mind driving a little farther to get them.

Service was friendly and spoke Spanish. Food tastes good and fresh. Generous portions and good value. Many free add ons are allowed.

Defiantly the best local deli in San Marcos. Service with a smile makes you feel at home, like your aunt or uncle is making you an amazing sandwich. Italian was absolutely amazing I ordered a 9 inch probably only needed a 6 inch as it is quite loaded with ingredients (just how I like it). Can also save the other half for later. Atmosphere was quiet and peaceful to have a quick bite to eat before a CSU San Marcos tour! read more

If you're looking for a place that has amazing deli sandwiches... look no further. You get massive sandwiches for good prices and they are simply fantastic. The service is quick and the store feels like a small local diner. Simply the best place for a local deli sandwich. read more

When you're in the area, and you want a sandwich, this is the place to go to! The staff was very polite and patient with me. The menu was HUGE (as seen in the photos) so it took me a while to decide what I wanted. But I'll tell you what, the Club Sub did not disappoint! I only got 6" but man was it filling! Now, To be candid, this sandwich was good. Not great. The bread however was AMAZING! The meat slices they use are just typical ham in water sliced. Nothing crazy. So if you want a sandwich from a place that's consistently good, this is where you'll go. read more

Food taste very good. Taste super fresh. Staff are really nice. Awesome family owned business. Would recommend.

First time here. We had 5 different sandwiches. All of them were fresh and delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Best sandwich shop in San Marcos. Love that the owners are always there and so friendly. It's nice to walk into a small business and they remember your name and your order. read more

This is your classic deli with more than 30 sandwich options and four types of bread with all your usual sandwich toppings. We had a classic Italian and a pastrami and cheese. Both sandwiches were really good and were loaded with meat and toppings. This is some of the better pastrami I've had in the San Diego area. The bread was fresh which is always a nice addition to any sandwich. It is an easy five stars for taste and value. Two six in sandwiches totaled $17. Maybe one day they'll expand and have a second shop closer to the UTC area! read more

SO GOOD! Wow, I'm surprised I've never been here sooner. This is like a subway but a million times better. Fresh ingredients and they even cut the meat in front of you. Huge menu with lots of options, they also have potato salad, pickles, and other goodies as well. They have 3 options for sizes 6", 9", and 12". Wow was it huge! My sandwich was packed with toppings and so heavy! They do not skimp on the ingredients here! Not only that it was incredibly delicious! Fresh ingredients, delicious sandwich, and huge portions I'm a fan! read more

Family owned, great food, easy to order. definitely a great local spot to go to. Will be a repeat spot to go to.

We've been going here for years. Best sandwiches ever. The Bacon Avocado Turkey on the white bread is supreme. The Italian dressing ‍ family owned. Definitely worth your time!! read more

Wonderful, gigantic, delicious sandwiches. Fresh ingredients and friendly service. I was blown away by how good this place was. I tried the Big Kahuna (ham, salami, roast beef, turkey, pastrami and cheese) with all of the usual fixings (tomatoes, onions, lettuce, dressing, etc.) and it was fantastic. It really is a giant sandwich (and I got the smallest one--6 inches) and it was still a belly buster. I went with the squaw bread which is slightly on the sweet side and it was excellent. There are other bread-type options and they all looked good. I can't believe I just found this place. Yes, places like Subway might be a couple bucks cheaper but you get far better quality (and quantity) at legit sandwich shops like this one. I honestly can't wait to go back. read more

Sub-Marine - #16 on squaw roll - Delicious!! - Sandwiches Near Me - San Marcos, California

I don't think I would put sandwiches on my list of comfort foods, but man, I love and appreciate a good sammich. Recently I've been on a hunt for well cooked, homemade pastrami. And while Sub-Marine may not make their own (or buy a very good quality one to slice), they certainly hit all the other marks of a great sub. Been here a couple of times since moving into the neighborhood, once for a Veggie Sub, another time for their Meatball, and finally that Pastrami. Each time I've tried their breads (the Squaw and the French roll so far), it's had a wonderfully chewy crust and a soft and flavorful interior. I don't know if they make their own or buy it daily from somewhere, but the bread here is perfect. And that Veggie Sub, it's difficult to imagine that anything without meat on it could be this satisfying. While opting for something on the lighter side one dinner, I selected this for myself and was amazed at the size and quality of what was presented to me. On a huge roll of Squaw Bread was served a variety of greenery, along with tomatoes, onions, and a large smear of avocado. It was hearty, nicely salted, and very filling; all in all, an outstanding sandwich. Whenever I grab a Meatball Sub for my son or mother, the sandwich itself is huge, easy to split between them (even at the 9" size), and enough to satisfy both their hunger as well as their craving for a good sandwich. Not too messy, easy to cut and eat, this one is always a hit with my 9 year old. And last that Pastrami. The meat itself may not have been what I was looking for, but it was still alright. And mix the toppings, sauces, and that great bread, and this sandwich still came out above average. Sub-Marine may not be the best sandwich stop around, but it does a great job trying to live up to that standard. And as close as it is, it's a safe bet we'll come back here for lunches and dinner time and time again. read more

Submarina sandwiches was deprecated years ago but some old franchise holders still sell subs under submarina-like names. It would be crazy to visit "sub-marine home of the big kahuna" without trying their signature sandwich. It's a large roll stuffed with ham, roast beef, turkey, pastrami, provolone and smoked cheddar. A true gut-buster, a perfect choice for a picnic or just watching the game at home. Sub-Marine still feels like submarina and the menu is basically the same. They've always served up good sandwichs here in the past and this reincarnation is no different. Local Picnic place - Double Peak park.. read more

I think this is the only place that charges you for ice. A cup of ice... insane. They will not provide a receipt either so I feel like it's a money grab. read more

This is probably by far the best sandwich shop in San Diego. The staff is super friendly.

Delicious, juicy sandwiches with lots of fillings and made to order. Very nice, friendly service.

This is by far the best sandwich spot in San Marcos. Number two is Tina's Deli. The squaw roll is my favorite bread option. I tried to go to Jersey Mike's the other day because it was close by, and I was on a time crunch, and it smelled really bad inside that I had to walk out. Sub-Marine is consistent and always high quality. The service is always great as well. Thank you SM crew for your hard work. read more

Seems like this place was a Submarina because they have mostly the same stuff but really who gives a damn. The big kahuna sandwich is..... well freakin big. Loaded with the meats and I love the squaw bread roll, oooowwweee it's a big and filling sandwich. Of course I also love the fact you can get smoked cheddar on your sandwich which just adds to the flavor profile. All the meats sliced up freshly in front of you and made to your liking. A solid lil sandwich shop that I like to stop by anytime I'm in San Marcos. read more

Ordered a party platter for my daughter's Birthday which happened to be for the following day. They clearly knew the platter was for the following day. And yet still put all condiments directly on the sandwiches. Any sandwich place knows you put ALL condiments and toppings on the side for a catering order no matter what! So then they tried to make me feel bad for their mistake! Talked rudely to me, argued with me, told me they can't remake them because they are out of bread and when I asked for a refund and said I can't accept the sandwiches as they will be soggy for the party the following day since having mayo mustard dressing tomato lettuce all the things that make it soggy told me that's not fair! Yeah it's not fair that I paid $110 for soggy sandwiches because you made a mistake! So rude. Very disappointed in this place and I've been going there for years. Never again!! read more

am i in heaven ? i had to come back to try the chili and i was OBVIOUSLY not disappointed. the big kahuna is a giant as they absolutely do not skimp on anything. breakfast was lovely ! thank you guys, always ! read more

My name is Richard and I'm a sandwich whore. Seriously, find me a yummy, hand carved sandwich place and I will slash my pimp and trick my way there to try it, asap! So when I did a Yelp search in my area for submarine sandwiches Sub-Marine in San Marcos showed up on my list and, within 20 minutes I was at their doorstep!!! It's located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking in the lot or on the street. I walked in and was happy to see it's an AWESOME family run place that's been in business for over 30 years!!! YEW!!! As you walk in the menu is to your left. You order on the left side of the counter and pay to the right. On the far right they have a refrigerator filled with drinks and yummy looking salads! I, of course, for my first time visit had to order their 12 inch Big Kahuna, on a squaw bread roll. I was sooooooo HAPPY to see that they handcarve their meats for each and every sandwich!!! I'm so tired of pre-portioned sandwich places at supermarkets and chain sandwich places. I want to see my yummy indulgence made completely fresh in front of me! Finding a family run, handmade sandwich place like this is truly difficult to find in North San Diego! The people who work here are so NICE. Apparently, sandwiches #16 ATC Avocado, Turkey, Cheese and #33 BAT Bacon, Avocado, Turkey, Cheese are their most popular. As for the Big Kahuna sandwich, it seriously blew me away and reminded me of the venerated Little Luccas sandwich shop in the Bay Area. Filled with delicious meats, veggies, and cheese, it did not disappoint and truly lived up to its name!!! Many thanks Sub-Marine! You made this Sandwich Hookers day! I'll definitely be back! read more

A friend at work referred me to this place and let's just say I've been missing out. Family owned and operated this place is jam packed at lunch so if you can order ahead do it.
