Submarina #2 San Diego Reviews
Stopped in by chance, walked out a lifetime customer. Ordered a 12” #9 Barbara’s Favorite on onion bread, toasted. Came to like $16. Paid by credit card and they didn’t ask for tip, which was refreshing. But after the meal, I went back to the counter to leave a few dollars, that’s how good this sandwich was. Perhaps the best sub sandwich in my life?! 10/10 would come back again.
Kind of like a Sandwich version of Cheers. Friendly family owned joint for over 40 years. They take pride in their place and have many regular customers. Head to the back of the restaurant near the glass cooler and get in line. Fresh everything and clean. Try the #16 with bacon on Squaw Roll Tierrasanta style. No bathroom, trash outside.A little loud with the fridge there, soft music, slow internet. What could work better is the signage or directions on where to first get in line. Maybe there could be an arrow where to start as there are many steps to decide in the sandwich making process. I'd also create a QR code so people can easily look on their phones. And maybe use a different sustainable cup option as styrofoam doesn't really align with the 'healthy brand' marketing.
This place is a hidden gem!! if you're trying to support a local family owned sandwich place that gives you more than a generous serving this is your spot!! I got a 12" turkey avocado & provolone sub Tierrasanta style and it was to die for! If you're trying to keep it healthy omit mayo and go light on the dressing :) The service was timely and everyone behind the counter was so friendly! Highly recommend @neeks93 on insta
I've been going to this place for years. I wish more places stayed as consistent and as this place has. EVERY TIME I GO HERE THE FOOD IS AAAAAAMAZING!!!! Most places change over the years, lesser ingredients, lesser quality, BUT NOT THIS PLACE. They have a very welcoming environment, a family vibe, and just keep it simple with great food. I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for the best sandwich you've ever had. Plus the family that runs it is actually authentic Italian.
I moved to Tierrasanta about a year ago and have heard amazing things about this shop. I finally made it in today and WOW have I been missing out!! This is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! I ordered #30 with Dena’s recommendation of toasted with garlic and “Italian style”. This sandwich was delicious and full of flavor. It was a good size too. Dena was also so sweet and welcoming. I will definitely be back!
Great sandwich options and extremely kind, attentive and quick service. This place is a real gem, order at the counter and dine in or take out. The bread is phenomenal and the people working there are even more lovely.
Love this PLACE! I could smell it from across the parking lot. Friendly staff and great sandwhiches. THIS is you old fashion neughborhood Deli!

Great place for a sandwich, better and cheaper than jersey mikes. Place is also LGBT friendly. I've been coming here for a while and the employees gender me properly as a transgender woman. Reccomend getting #9 with white bread toasted with garlic
Fantastic local family owned sun shop, they're always helpful and the food is delicious. I've eaten there dozens of times myself, and have gone to them several times for catered client lunches with stellar feedback. Always willing to go out of their way to create a great sandwich and experience. Highly recommend.
Bomb.... all I can say.... truly. ❤️ I've made it a ritual detour when I'm in the city even out of way. Hearty subs, not picture a nice sub and end up with scraps. The sub is heavy! 😊😊 Been here once a month ago and have returned multiple times. Hooked. Best subs in San Diego area. Ty Submarina!
The best sandwich shop around. Worth the trip from Clairemont. These ladies are the best!
I’ve been eating here for a year for a sub sandwich. Not even subway soulless sub down the road can compare to this place… stopped going to subway btw. Submarina#2 Food tastes fresh and delicious. Staff friendly always. Nothing more of a real sub sandwich than this place. Family owned every sub made with love. Thank you all!!!
My wife & I went yesterday and are on our way back now! Best Deli style sandwich I’ve had in SD. Dena & her mom were amazing. She was attentive to what my wife wanted & we are HOOKED. If you haven’t, you should try Submarina #2!
Had the Barbara special #9 today - so good! They have delicious sandwiches, mac, potato salad and chocolate chip cookies. If you haven't been, try them out! Great service too - family owned since 1979.

I've been coming here since 1981..everytime when I come home to San Diego this is the first place I go. Subs are delicious. I get #32. My favorite.

This is a really great deli place. The 9 inch sandwich can feed 2 ppl. I ordered the tuna on wheat with the works. The food is all fresh. The customer service is great. The sandwich looked so simple to make but I feel the owner has a great choice of bread and meat. The house dressing is a must as well. We will come again when we have our dr appts and go afterwards for lunch.

Excellent subs that are filled with deliciousness. My husband found this spot and was impressed. He usually eats at Jersey Mikes or a similar chain and he found the attention at this family run spot to be refreshing. Definitely worth checking out. Prices seem high but you get a lot of food for the price. $15 foot long here is more food than what $15 will get you elsewhere.
Sandwiches are delicious. Weird there is no trashcan (they make you use a trashcan outside that is meant for the entire strip mall). They also won't let you use their bathroom to even wash your hands. They tell you to go next door to the bank; tried this but the bank won't let you either. Cashier can be rude/ very particular. Still worth those minor issues for the tasty sandwiches...

The food was fresh and the ingredients were of good quality. The bread is some of the best in town. However, the ingredients are sparse and the sandwiches expensive. Out the door, paid almost $40 for two 9" sandwiches, which is a bit ridiculous. would not recommend this restaurant to anyone unless they are willing to pay a lot of money for a small amount of food.

First off the positive reviews for this place seem fake. This is not a franchise location and does not have everything they do. They DO NO WEAR GLOVES when slicing meats and preparing cold sandwiches... YUK! I ordered two 9 inch sandwiches at $13 each. Somehow my total came out to almost $40 when I asked, they said "oh we charge extra for pickles"... my sandwich did not taste good, not sure how you mess up a french dip its just meat and cheese... I recommend a health inspector to check this location out.
