It was easy to find seating around 6 p.m. on a weekend, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. The margaritas are decorated really cute. I got a torta over lettuce (since I'm GF) and specifically asked for it without meat, adding beans instead. For some reason, getting it over lettuce instead of having a tortilla costs an extra $2, which is a crazy upcharge because I would expect it to be cheaper. Even worse, the beans had meat in them. Since I specifically asked for no meat, they should have told me that the beans contained meat and suggested another option. The service was also disorganized. Three different waiters came over asking for our drink order, which was weird, and then it took a really long time to actually get our drinks because of whatever was going on.

I'm Kelli, the owner's daughter. Is it illegal for me to give my dad's restaurant 5 stars? No. Not if it's true. I've worked there since I was 9 years old, I'm almost 19 now. My dad liked the place so much he bought it, okay. If that doesn't convince you, read on. Our place (inside and out), food, and service have only improved over the years. Trust me, I've watched it happen the passed almost 10 years. Here's a list of things for you to try for your next visit to Sub Station on Dream Street. #1. If you don't see it on the menu, we actually encourage you to make it up! Whatever you want, go ahead, we'll make it. Got a sandwich you order at Subway? We'll make it better, guaranteed. #2. Let us know what you think of it! Most of the time, if we aren't too busy, we ask how you liked it. And most of the time... no ALL OF THE TIME, people say they love it. We hope you do too. #3. Ask for a frequent buyer card, sub club card, whatever you want to call it. You will earn stamps and ultimately, free food. (I heard the free ones taste better ;) ) They never expire, and personally, I think that's the best part. For example, a couple from Michigan I believe, who only stopped by to and from their way to Florida for vacation, finally redeemed their card after 20 years. Dedication right there. #4. Once you get your frequent buyer card, call your friends who've never been there and get double stamps FOR EACH FRIEND. How awesome is that? You're on the road toward a free whole sub :) Then tell your friends to bring their friends and they get stamps too! It's like a never ending chain of free food! #5. Look, we are like the most laid back family there is here at SSII. TALK TO US. We actually love talking. We'd love to here about your day, about your horrible experience at Subway, and all about your son's soccer game. Seriously, you got something to say? So do we. So talk talk talk it up! As you can see from this, we are somewhat informal here. Like I said, we're laid back. We want you to feel comfortable here. Not like you have to use a napkin or sit up straight or hold your pinky up when you drink our famous sweet tea. No, we don't want that uncomfortable environment. Most importantly, kick back and relax, watch some TV and stuff your face (ps, the subs with the heart next to them are healthier, we are the only weight watcher approved sub shop there is!) My point is, you don't have to feel guilty about that HUGE sub in your mouth... It's healthy. Oh and bring the kids. Our kid's menu has only gone up $1 in the last 10 years. Let me just say it's a meal for $2.99 that includes a sandwich (or grilled cheese, or pb&j, or mac&cheese, or chicken strips) and chips (or a cookie, or fries) and a drink. Now that will keep the kids busy while you stuff your face with delicious food. #6. (because I forgot this one) Try our fries and onion rings. Try our soups (which are ALL homemade). And try desserts... (those are not weight watcher approved unfortunately... but heck, indulge, you deserve it for being the hardworking American you are! (insert American flag and bald eagle with a ring back tone of "Proud to be an American" here.)) #7. Speaking of indulging. We don't serve alcohol... Though we have the biggest choice of alcoholic beverages there is! How, you ask... Go next door to Liquor City, buy whatever your little heart desires, save the receipt when you come back over, and raise your glasses ladies and gentlemen! Now I understand if you've stopped reading by now. There's just not enough time in a human's attention span to brag about my dad's restaurant. I could have simply stated "JUST GO HERE!" but then you wouldn't get the full experience without my instructions, right? Thanks for reading, y'all. See you soon :) PS, I hope you laughed, because I'd like to think I'm funny sometimes... read more

Fast, excellent value and quality ingredients. Great choice While traveling through town, I used yelp to find a local, privately owned restaurant instead of fast food. The other reviews were spot on. This place is excellent. The first thing we noticed walking in the door was how clean the dining area is. We were promptly greeted and the menu was easily explained. We took the staff's recommendations after telling them what we liked and were more than pleased. We will be stopping again. read more

My husband and I have ordered one of Mike's sandwiches every Monday night for FOUR years.

We had known the place existed because we had friends who played volleyball there (they have a sand volleyball court next to the restaurant), but had never had the occasion to stop by. This place does not pretend to be anything else besides what it is - an unpretentious, locally-owned/locally-serving bar/restaurant where you know exactly what you'll get. I loved the old signage on the walls and the overall vibe. It's just a straight-up local comfort joint. Food was not anything to write home about but it also was exactly what I was looking for, if that makes sense; filling, short-order breakfast fare. I'm not coming to a place like Peewee's looking for bold gastronomic experiences - I want strong coffee and fatty breakfast food. Apparently Peewee actually came out from the kitchen as well and was greeting and joking with some of the regulars - super cool to see. On the whole, had a great experience here, and would definitely come back.

I went for a buffalo chicken flatbread pizza this time. The flatbread wasn't quite thick or crisp enough to stand up to the toppings, which made it a little hard to eat, but all the toppings were really good. Next time, I'd probably ask for more buffalo sauce because that was a little light. I particularly liked the fresh, julienned carrots and cucumber they added after the bake--nice freshness and crunch. Prices are in line with other fast-casual places--most things were $8 (or $10 to make a combo with cookie and fountain drink).
