Phil’s 1500 Subs

Warhead is the best sandwich in the world. Their cold sandwiches are 10x better than subway

ehhh. nothing great. You want to get swept off your feet here. A sub shop means certain things to most people who have had a great one… soft, fresh baked bread, salty meat piled high and everything else delicious.
Been here about 5 times now and safe to say that Phil’s doesn’t deliver that experience, but the sandwich is good. Better than what you could make at home. Probably, 3.5 stars.

Since posting this they have totally cleaned up the dining area! Way to go Phils! Now your entire establishment reflects how wonderful you are!

Super nice service, food well-​prepared and good value for your $.

Went to Phil’s and had the 400 which is the turkey, avocado and cheese. Very good as per usual!

Really great subs. My grandson who is 9 says they are the BEST in the WHOLE WORLD. Now, he might exaggerate… but they are good. I like the Viking or the Warhead. No debit cards for Mr Phil, but atm in dining room makes purchase easy. A small sub is big enough for me. A big sub feeds 2 or even 3. Next to Safeway. Lots of parking.

This has to be one of my favorite places to eat. The food is delicious, you will not find a better tasting sub. Not to mention the employees are incredibly personable and make your presence feel welcome. It all boils down to great ownership, with Phil, Who knows how to run his business the correct way. I have never felt unsatisfied by the food or the service. Thank you to everybody working at Phils Subs!

The best sandwiches anywhere! Love this place been coming for 25 years. Always have to stop here when I come to town!

I usually love small sub shops that aren’t chains, but wasn’t completely impressed by this one. The bread seemed fresh and pretty good which was a plus, but nothing special about the toppings. I got the turkey avocado, and it was pretty bland. My wife got the French dip and it was pretty disappointing. Bread wasn’t toasted, just seemed to have a little layer of meat and melted cheese. Also, I’m not going to really knock them on this, but it would have been nice to know it was cash only. They had an ATM but it’s like a paid an extra $ 2 for my sandwiches because of the fee.

Phil’s 1500 subs is the best thing that’s ever happened to Forest Grove. They use the freeeeesssshest ingredients and their bread is out of this world. The Carow family rocks.

We love Phil’s subs. We’re vegetarian so we always get the 700. It’s always so yummy and the staff are always so nice! We don’t live in Forest Grove but make the stop as often as we can. Keep up the great work!

my sub was ok. the veggies where a bit soggy. the bread has the mass produce taste. the meat was great… just get a new baker.

I don’t know what’s the big deal with there subs… it’s boring and bland. …the cashier said our subs are better then subway. I don’t agree with the cashier, subway sandwiches are a lot better!

Look at the options here! A private owned sand which shop, pretty rare these days. Great staff, very friendly, and they really care.
Anything with turkey is great! You can have it your way. Easy location, right next to Safeway.

I really like the sandwiches, here. My wife is from the area and when we visit from California, I have to eat there. I have never had a sub short on filling, meat and flavor. Broke a star off because the cash only is annoying. Also, a rack of hot sauces would be a lot of fun.

Meh. I don’t see what the appeal is. What I had was bland, boring and generic. Not worth the price for what it was. The employees seemed to be goofing off a little too much and sorry to beat that drum, but who seriously expects to stay in business with cash only. If your food isn’t phenomenal where it speaks for itself and that part doesn’t matter, then you might want to consider biting the bullet and getting a card reader.

Wow, totally worth it to check this place out! Bring Cash because there are no cards accepted… They beat subway hands down! There steak sub feels like it weights 3lbs! I will be back soon!

Well after several false positives from the GPS and online (closed, closed, farther away than the map said) I was ready to go to Subway. I saw Phil’s on the GPS and checked online to see if it was still open. It was, and not far from the hotel, so I called in an order to go.
Kinda surprised it was going to be 20 minutes, but whatever. Went over and got my order that was ready to go. Phone service was kinda bland, but the counter service was very good.
I got the Viking sandwich, cup of chili, and potato salad. The chili was fair at best, a bit (lot) too tomatoey with a bit of heat that came from the lone jalapeño slice I found in it. Their idea of a cup is more like a bowl so I only ate half.
The potato salad was just barely fair. Not much more I can say about that.
But the sandwich was very good. Nice fresh bread and more than enough meat. I could only finish 2/​3rds of it. Nice crisp vegetables as well.
Overall not the best sandwich shop I’ve been to (check out Max’s in Auburn, CA or Scott’s Subs in Modesto, CA), but definitely on the recommend list.

Phil’s is the best, great sandwiches using great ingrediants. Monthly specials are awesome. If you are lucky enough to come on the right month and get the salmon special, it is very good.
I would give him 5 stars if he puts in a keg of GUINNESS!
cheers!

Ohh Emm Gee! They finally have an ATM! :)
I get the same sandwich every time I go in, the bread is delicious, they pile on the meat, and despite it being weird, they also slather on the cream cheese, just they way I like it! If I want a single meal I get a super small, if I want two, I go with the small. These subs are packed and quite large!
Soup and salads are always fantastic! The grilled meat always makes me want to try a different sandwich… Because it smells soooo yummy!
Love the fam & friend photo collages on the wall. Phil, Maryl, and the kids are great and super friendly! Nothing bad to say about the place!
Oh, and they have a lil play kitchen and lots of lil toys for kids to play with! Means, the kiddo is busy playing, so I don’t have to speed eat before she get antsy! They also have a couple of high chairs! :)
