Sub Station II

People all over South Carolina talk about how much they like Sub Station II that I find it strange this one has such a poor review. I’m going to attribute this to the fact that this one is in a rather sketchy building. The first time I entered the establishment I was concerned I was in the wrong place because the layout inside isn’t the best. Once you find the counter the lighting isn’t that great either, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that they make a good sub sandwich.
They have a lot of options for base subs, and even more options for toppings. I haven’t had a meal here that I would complain about, and the pickles that come with your sandwich are always good and crunchy.
I would definitely rank this place above Subway and Firehouse any day of the week for my sub sandwich fix.

Leaving a negative review is hard for me. I like food so much that I’m often willing to overlook shortcomings and idiosyncrasies that inflame the passions of those more persnickety, whiny Unilocalers who denigrate establishments based on superfluous, petty details.
One thing I REALLY like is a good sub sandwich.
I could eat one in a house.
I could eat one with a mouse.
I could eat one on a boat.
I could eat one with a goat.
I could eat one here or there.
I could eat one ANYWHERE…
…except Sub Station II in Greer. You see, boys and girls, a decent sub needs some component of freshness, whether it be the flavor complexities of meat combination, the texture and quality of vegetable accompaniments, the unmistakable allure of fresh bread, or the savory interplay of delicious sauces and condiments. Very few sub shops master them all, but most places (even Subway) can offer a decent showing in at least one of these categories. With a heavy heart, and disappointed taste buds, I gotta say SSII missed the mark. It was tolerable in every respect, but nothing stood out at all. I tried a reuben and an Italian sub, but neither delivered anything particularly notable. Couple that with the awkwardly run-​down, barren-​of-​personality, dimly lit restaurant, and you’ve got yourselves a two-​star establishment, boys and girls.
Sure would be nice to see somebody spiff up the fare and the amenities.
