U S Submarine Base

EAT HERE! Fantastic family owned business with the nicest staff in Carson. Be sure to stop by and get a sub for lunch or dinner! Frazier (the owner) is extremely friendly and his food is fantastic! If you are unsure of what to get, don’t be scared to ask for a recommendation. The wine sauce is to die for! EAT HERE!

If you were looking for the ultimate sandwich shop. Come no further, One bite into the tomahawk and I just knew I was in love. I have only fallin in love once and that is with my girlfriend. But now I’m even considering that…

I realized that I have eaten here rather often without writing a review yet… so here it goes:
This is one of my favorite lunch places in Carson City. It is one of my sinfully salty-​fried-​super tasty guilty pleasures! I totally love their Teriyaki Veggie Burger! It is one of the best vegetarian burgers I have had: veggie patty, teriyaki sauce, cheese, a tomato slice, lettuce, and a pineapple slice on a sesame seed bun (it comes also with mayo but I always ask for it to be removed). The bread is light and fluffy. The teriyaki sauce is slightly salty, but sinfully delicious, and the vegetables are very fresh. I could eat one of these happily every week :)
I also love their fried Zucchini with their ranch sauce. The batter on their fried veggies is thick and perfectly portioned and the zucchini stays moist and delicious! NOM! NOM! The serving size is very generous! I have also had their fries and onion rings, both are good (onion rings slightly better than the fries), but their fried zucchini is simply to die for! Also, the ranch sauce is good quality ranch sauce, none of that horrid ‘watered down ranch’ some restaurants use to attempt to trim cost.
As far as cost, you walk away from the restaurant very full and at very reasonable price ($ 7 for the sandwich and $ 10 for a sandwich and a side).
The staff are always friendly, gracious, and they greet you the moment you walk in. The women behind the counter are always so sweet and chatty.
The restaurant is small, but clean and typically always quiet. It has gone through several cosmetic changes since I have starting going there plant, no plant, etc…).
Lastly, I have taken work/​teaching stuff in with me while eating and have sat working and eating for long periods of time and the staff has always been gracious to me.

Went here for lunch today. The sandwich was not near good enough to deal with the lady who put mustard on my sandwich, without even asking me what I wanted, then got pissy because I didn’t want mustard and she had to take it off. I don’t ever eat mustard on anything ever. I find it odd she assumed then was irritated when she was wrong. I won’t be going back.

My first time eating in and it was great! The staff is wonderful and fun! Food is super delicious!

AMAZING! You know? Usually, you think about a sandwich, and it just doesn’t register that high on the ooh la la list. It fits the bill, but in this day and age of Subways, and Port o’ Subs, and other crap, it’s turned more into something you just get to fill your belly, when you’re one too many hamburgers into the month.
Well, this place is different. First off, the bread is AWESOME! I’ve only had the white (they have wheat too), but it is always fluffy, with just a hint of outside texture, and then it gets chewy once you start compressing it. MMMmmmm!
The veggies are always nice and crisp, and don’t get overwhelmed by the rest of the sandwich. Same deal with the cheese. It’s always fresh and flavorful. The deli meats are always really juicy and tasty as well. Finally, they’ve got this oil and vinegar «wine» sauce they always ask if you want on it, and trust me, GET IT. It’s amazing and offers a really nice zing to the bite.
Best thing about these folks, though, is the service! No matter if I call during the lunch rush, or 5 minutes from close. The ladies ALWAYS talk to me like I’m the first customer of the day! It’s awesome. It’s like your GrandMa is making you a sandwich. I DIG it. Plus, their prices are pretty damn good, especially for the size of the sandwich you get. Believe me, I can eat. I still usually end up putting a half in the fridge for later, especially if I have fries too.
Speaking of which, that’s about the only criticism I can offer, is that they could cook their fries just a hair longer. Their Ranch more than makes up for it though, and the pleasurable experience I have when I talk to them, so still FIVE stars from me!

I have NEVER had a bad sandwich from this place. They are not stingy with their toppings. Honestly, they are pretty much the same price as any Subway and 10x better quality. Their service is always great, very friendly and helpful. And they don’t hide any charges, if avocado cost extra, they let you know. I recommend this place to all the delicious sandwich fans out there. :)

Great little sandwich place. Better than any of the corporate sub shops. Bread is baked fresh daily and I have never gotten a bad sandwich. For a couple dollars more you get a great sandwich. The atomic is my favorite, however the meatball is just as good.

I usually pack a lunch on workdays, but recently found myself without a lunch. A quick check of my Unilocal Bookmarks to find something that would be quick and that I could take to-​go. Sandwiches sounded good, but I wanted to try something new and not the typical chains. So, US Submarine Base fit the bill. It wasn’t too far of a drive for me so I was lucky to make it there, get my food, and still have a few minutes to relax before my lunch break was over.
I was immediately greeted and asked what I wanted when I walked in. The menu is small, but has several hot and cold combinations and, of course, you can choose your own. I decided on the Atomic, which is ham and turkey. After getting mayo, mustard and cheese, you’re passed along to someone who adds all of your toppings. You can’t see any of the toppings to decide what you want, but they are all listed on the menu board.
Sandwiches are packed up in rectangle Styrofoam boxes — makes it leak proof, but I guess not as environmentally friendly as being wrapped in paper.
The sandwiches are delicious and really fresh tasting! They don’t skimp on anything and everything is so flavorful. An 8″ sub was probably more than I needed, but it really filled me up! With chips, lunch was about $ 10, so not that bad. I’ll be adding US Submarine Base to my list of quick lunch spots in Carson.

Hands down the best sub in town. Nothing else needs to be said. But I will say more: The owner is a genuinely nice guy who takes pride in his sandwiches. Also on a side note, come in just to check out the amazing live ceiling.

First time trying this place. My guy had the Italian Destroyer sub. He really enjoyed it! I didn’t try it but it looked good… well put together and the bread looked very fresh. I had a cheeseburger. It wasn’t that great, very dry and overcooked, and the bun was cold. It also took quite awhile to cook. The fries were okay, same as anywhere else. They had a nice selection of drinks. You can get a fountain drink or grab one from the cooler. The lady behind the counter was polite. The place was clean. We would definitely go back just skip the burger and stick with subs next time.

Wow! You want a great burger? Who would think you’d find it in a sub shop. Delicious!

Unilocal suggested US Submarine Base, the plus being it was across the street from where I was attending a conference. Walked over for lunch.
Great sandwich. My only complaint, the meat was not plentiful. It wasn’t skimpy, but I would have liked more than a single layer. The bread is excellent. The topping options excellent.
Bottom line, if you’re looking for a sandwich, why would you go to those other chain places? This is where you want to be.

Love this restaurant. Owners are great people making a great sandwich. I usually get the torpedo with everything on it. Fills me up and taste good.

Easily the best sandwich in town. Also the best service of any sub shop.
You’re always greeted with a smile and a «hi!» Every single sandwich I’ve ever had has been delicious. They have a nice seating area, and it’s always very clean.
My family’s favorite sub shop in town by far!

The sandwiches at US Sub Base are the absolute best. They are stuffed full with delicious meat and vegetables, and the wine sauce and avocados are a killer combination.
I ordered my six-​year-​old son a ham sandwich and he tells me, «they put just the right amount of mustard, just the right amount. And it tastes good!»
I recommend this sandwich shop to anyone that wants a quality sandwich and a fantastic experience, as the staff is kind and very helpful!

Nice and friendly people working at the sub base. We shared a hot pastrami with provolone. The wine sauce for the sandwich was good and spicy. The bread was fresh if not the highest quality. Lots of customers coming in for lunch. Traveling to Tahoe so we may return on the way back

Pretty good little hole in the wall sandwich place. I ordered the Nuclear, which was quite bomb! Will definitely recommend.

What a fun little place! My friend and I were driving back to Reno from a meeting out of town and we were starving. We did a quick search on Unilocal and this place showed great reviews. They certainly did not let us down! I ordered the Red October (ha ha, like it) which was cajun smoked sausage. It was so spicy and yummy. The customer service was great, the owner was super nice and made great suggestions regarding the sub. It was so large I am pretty sure that I could have shared it with someone! Just keep that in mind!

I had lunch here today. I had the hot pastrami OMG! it was amazing. They put avocado in it. I will defiantly come here again.
