    Bottled/ canned drinks fridge- lots of options in addition to fountain drinks

    Annual update: My go to order: Small Atomic sub (or turkey avocado) on a wheat roll with provolone, toasted if I have time (I don't usually). Everything except pickles, Dijon instead of yellow mustard, and add cucumber and bell pepper. They are so efficient here. It is a well run machine and a reliable place to grab a quick affordable and filling lunch. Still a major fan.

    Sub was massive couldn't finish it all in one sitting the flavors were amazing the food was fresh and the price wasn't bad either

    #11 Veggie avocado cheese sandwich w/ all the veggies. Delicious

    I wish this sandwich place was near me! I love a good sandwich spot. Fresh ingredients and the bread is soft and big. I ordered the 9" veggie w/ avocado, provolone, Swiss, and all the veggies on the squaw roll. Just a solid, fresh sandwich. The price is very fair for the quality and size sandwich. Will definitely be stopping in again when I'm back in the area.

    I finally found myself in this neighborhood during lunch. I've had this sub shop bookmarked for years. On a Sunday, there were a few people waiting for sandwiches. The employees were friendly and promptly greeted me. I ordered a medium Italian sub for my husband and a small #3(ham and capacolla) on a wheat roll. I thought my sandwich was pretty darn good. They have all the sandwich toppings and dressings you can think of. I ordered mine with lettuce, tomato, pickles, pepperoncinis, sweet hot mustard, and red vinegar. There was just the right amount of everything. The wheat roll was soft and fresh. My husband had the medium Italian sub. There was ham, salami, pepperoni, and capacolla. He thought it was really good and huge. He could have ordered the small sub like mine. There is some inside seating but we ate outside with our dog. We will be back!

    I ordered catering for 150 staff at a local high school. Their owner, Tim, was absolutely amazing to work with, from start to finish. He was helpful in suggesting quantities and recommending their top-selling sandwiches. I wound up ordering seven of their 6-foot long subs, each with a different meat/cheese combo. If you've never ordered their 6-footers before, all I can say is DO IT! Talk about a WOW factor. Each of the 6-footers was securely placed on a wooden plank which had been wrapped in tinfoil. Each sub was cut into 30, secured with toothpicks, and wrapped in Saran. I was able to transport them all easily. On the side Tim included mayo, mustard, and all the toppings so people could build their own sub. I heard multiple rave reviews from the staff, with many exclaiming, "it's the best sub I've ever had in my life".

    This is hands down my go to sandwich place in Encinitas. I was starving while working on a project and Yelped a sandwich place close and found Subman. I got the Italian Sub and it is incredible. The meats and cheeses are super high quality but that French roll is a revelation. You'll never go to Subway again after one visit here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    Really, really solid chicken sandwich. We got the lowest level of spice and it was plenty of spice…read morefor us. The slaw is saucy, slightly sweet and the perfect complement to the crispy chicken. I like that it was crispy without having to be heavily breaded. The bun was toasted nicely as well to add to the crispy, freshness of the experience. Overall it was just really well balanced. On the critical side, I agree with previous reviewers that this doesn't need to be/shouldn't be a full service restaurant. The service was slow even when not busy which was fine since we weren't in a hurry but under different circumstances unnecessary. We actually got up and paid at the counter as we were tired of waiting. Also, duck fat fries were fun and I enjoyed having a few but having similar seasoning to the chicken was more than I needed. I would have preferred the plain I think. Next time I want to try the fish sandwich because I could see it being really good based on the chicken sandwich quality. Also, all the drinks coming out were so pretty and would be fun to try especially if slightly sweet to balance the chicken spice. Overall, we consider our visit a success and will be back for sure.

    Neat concept and nostalgic for some, but would not go out of my way to come here. We were passing…read morethrough and decided to check it out. The spicy duck fat frites were SO salty. Salad/Kona Bowl was delicious... but also +$12 for chicken +$16 for albacore? Seems like you're paying for the name, so overall... high prices, mediocre food. Wish we loved it.

    We came in hungry! I had stopped into Forchettina in Encinitas before, to bring food to my daughter…read moreand her family. And we go back to that location decades, with different owners. The turn over is amazing. But this time, this restaurant is here to stay! I must congratulation this Italian Couple from Sicily and Naples only to say: This location has finally landed in the right hands! We start with a terrific Italian Red, recommended by the owner. Caesar Salad and Marinated Artichoke Hearts. That's what I thought the menu says but it turns out to be yummy grilled Artichokes, that includes the heart. Next is a Chicken Parmesan Plate that includes penne marinara and I take a Sausage Pizza. Totally authentic. Totally enjoyable. Totally satisfied. We will be back for sure!
