Super Submarine

This is the BEST sub shop I have ever eaten in and I have lived in 7 states. Ham and cheese is my favorite but every sub is amazing. Go people. Eat here. Do not take it for granted. You may, like me, move away one day and miss it more than your siblings.

This really is a very good sub spot. I used to love coming here between classes when I was a student at Purdue Cal. The Super All-​Meat Sub is probably their best sandwich. The hot beef w/​banana peppers is excellent as well. They also have some of the best macaroni salad you’ll ever eat in your life! And that’s coming from someone who’s not even the biggest fan of macaroni salad. If I had to name one negative about the place, it’s that they’re pretty limited on topping choices for your sub. It’s not like Subway where you have dozens to choose from. It’s pretty much pickles, peppers, mayo,&mustard. No lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions, no olives, no vinegar & oil, nothing! However, I would still recommend the place, they make an awesome sandwich.

A lot of people love this place; being that I have lived here all my life I think it is because it brings back some memories as a youth to the locals and since it has been around forever there is a certain loyalty to the place.
Walking in one notices right away the inside décor is as ancient as the sign on the building.
It’s a typical blue collar sandwich joint… get it and go.
Don’t ask for lettuce. they don’t carry lettuce. owner told me once «its not profitable to buy lettuce because at the end of the day it goes bad»
Speaking of the owner. he’s a tough old man and very outspoken. but he’s a good guy. one of the region’s originals. the staff is nice and the prices are very affordable.
A sub from here is exactly what it is. a sub.
If I moved away and came back to visit, I wouldn’t make a point to make sure I went there.
But overall I would say it is average. Nothing to crow about though

Just a quick additional note: We always buy the beef sandwich with cheese, which I am unable to finish. In the past, I would eat it cold, or warm it in the microwave the next day. Today I discovered a WONDERFUL new option. I opened the cold sandwich and laid it face down on a hot (nonstick) skillet until it was brown and crispy, then flipped it and did the same on the other side. All I can say is, «Mmmmmmmmmmm…» A whole new treat!

Grew up in Hammond, and this place is one that I truly miss. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Maybe it’s the nostalgia or the tacky plastic lawn furniture for seating, but I absolutely love this place!

Went once, didn’t care for it. Seemed the beef was not very good quality and the roll was stale. I will go back and try something else. May bee I caught them on a bad day.

Great customer service and fantastic super sub. First time there today and will definitely be returning. Go hungry, they packed my sub full of meat to the point where I could not get my big mouth around it.

Not bad I will come back and try other subs

Hello, FOOD SNOB here.
Been going here since the mid 70’s when the old lady with the scruffy voice worked here alone. It is still a GREAT MA and POP sandwich shop. NO Franchise here. Meat and Cheeses are fresh. Bread is Fresh Gonnella Bread. Same owner since about 1980. Nice to see this place still around.
The Peppers and OLD FASHION PICKLES really make the Sandwich, try it.

A delicious hole in the wall, in the middle of nowhere. I have been been coming to this place for over 20 years. I usually go for the corned beef or the ham cheese sub. I’ve had everything in this place but mostly stick to the ones mentioned above. I ask for dry beef so the bun isn’t soaked when I’m ready to eat. Just my preference.
It’s not your normal sub place in some regards, it is a old deli counter covered in the charity donations cards from numerous charitable customers and a couple outdoor tables inside. That is about it. They do not offer the normal extras on subs that you would think. I believe, it is just pickles and peppers. And mustard and mayo. No tomatoes, lettuce, onions, etc. I always go with the pickles and peppers on the side, and put them on according to my taste or eat them plain on the side.
Super Submarine is a no-​frills, hole-​in-​the-​wall. And most consistent sub place in northwest Indiana area. It is delicious and never disappoints. Hope this review was helpful.

I had the meatball sub & it was pretty bland. I also didn’t care for the pickles with it. Next time I will have to try something else!

I have been eating Super Subs since I was a little girl (forty plus years ago) and very little about this place has changed — including the prices! The Super All Meat and the Beef sandwiches are my personal favorites but the BBQ is another family favorite. The pickles are delish. The sandwich wrapping is always a treat. It is always some kind of wax-​coated rolls of paper — sometimes from Tootsie-​Pops or where ever they can get the paper from.
I come from a long, proud line of very picky beef sandwich eaters. I don“t want to have to dissect my sandwich and cut pieces of funk out of it while I’m eating. I just want to enjoy… and here I am always assured that the beef is lean and tasty! For a modest appetite, plan to split a sandwich. They are big.
Don’t let the old sign and funky interior fool you. Super Sub is a gem on Kennedy Avenue in the Hessville part of Hammond.

the reuban… not typical… corned beef an sourkraut on a french roll. out-FREAKING-standing…a pepperoni sandwich? i want another right now… this place rocks

I’ve been a regular customer for several years — not for their appearance, seating, or atmosphere, but for their amazing subs and great service.
Great menu, great service, and great subs.

OMG!!!
Is this place still open???
I can remember their half beef half sausage sandwich, and the lady behind the counter that sounded like she smoked 8 packs a day asking «you want pickles and peppers on that?”
This place is terrific… the only place I know that wraps your sandwiches is oversized dumdum wrappers or frozen produce lables…

This place looks a little run down, but the subs are excellent. Stop by and try a ham and cheese — you won’t be disappointed!
