    19. Turkey & Cheese
    Monica C.

    Ordered Sub Station on DD, for the first time, and it was delicious. I ordered a turkey sandwich, and I appreciated the size as well as the amount of meat and cheese. I also enjoyed how thinly the turkey and cheese were sliced. The only thing I would ask for is any vinegar/oil to be on the side as it makes the bread soggy, especially if you don't eat it all at once. Otherwise, a really solid and tasty sandwich!

    Stopped by on a way to Arizona. Fresh bread, good amount of meat, could use more veggies but the sauce was overpowering... vinegar pouring out after each bite. The young staff could use better friend attitude and brush up on customer service. Overall, good spot for fresh deli sandwich!

    Ordered the big dude to go by phone and it was ready when I got there. Although the sub was as good as always, fresh soft bread, fresh sliced meats, shredded lettuce and tangy dressing. The best part are the pickled carrots and yellow chilies. At just about $20 it's not an every day treat but I hope it is around for 50 more years!

    Across from Uc Riverside, this place looks like it's pretty popular with the students. I thought the staff was pretty friendly and my food came out quickly. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich. The sandwich was ok but I didn't think it was worth how much they are charging. I personally felt that you can get a better sandwich for less at Jersey Mikes.

    This sandwich spot is a great place for college students to hang out and do studies outside. This food would score higher on my review but if they only offered different types of bread and put more oils/ vinegar/ mayonnaise on the subs/ sandwiches. My daughter and my sandwiches were very dry and had to ask for condiments and only pre packaged were available. This establishment has cornered the market at UCR being across from the college and within walking distance of most college housing.

    Hot Pastrami and Cheese Sub

    First time going here and didn't know this place was here. The place is great, owner is great and will talk to you, workers there are great as well and are all very helpful. I had the hot pastrami sandwich a which was good and the bread was soft and crispy at the same time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you need to use the bathroom it is in the back and someone there needs to let you in. There is a lot to look at inside the place and there are some cool shirts. I might need to pick up the Endless Summer one. If you are around the area, stop by.

    See all
