Mr Submarine

I am all about supporting my local businesses. Especially, if it has been in a business for a long time and looks like a true hole in the wall. Usually, they are doing something right to keep them a float for all of these years. However, that was not the case here.
I had read that their cheesesteaks were pretty decent from the other reviewers. I came in and got a 14 inch mushroom steak. It was lacking in meat and flavor, it was very bland. They did not have much as far as sauces to help boost up the flavor either. A bottle of A1 and tobasco. Also the 14 inch was just 2 7 inch subs. That proved to be good because I ended up just taking home the other half and adding some extra ingredients at home to make it a little bit better tasting. I must say the price point was good, but the wait time was pretty slow too.

Great prices, large portions, and the food is outstanding. The inside is a bit run down but the food makes this place a must try.

This joint is proof that looks can be sooo decieiving! Driven past Mr. Submarine IDK how many times & never stopped. Man I totally have been missing out.
Let’s just get this out of the way: Yes, this spot is what many would consider «in the hood». Ummm… this is not the real hood. No it’s not West U or The Heights, but it’s not the SW side either. ijs… Service was friendly & quick.
On to the important stuff: the food! They’ve got the sub shop standards & a variety of Philly steak style options. What’s different about this place is they serve their sammies warm, but will serve cold on request. Their subs are also either 7″ or 14″ vs. ⁶⁄₁₂.
I had the Italian sub & man was it delish! They weren’t skimpy on the meat or the veggies. Veggies were fresh & it had the perfect amount of mayo, oil & vinegar.
But man oh man that freakin bread stole the show! It was sooo warm & soft. Tasted like it’d come straight from the oven to the prep table. Def not your standard chain sub bread. I’m tempted to ask if they’ll just sell me the bread solo. It’s just that good.
And you cannot beat the price. Their sub combo is a 7″ sub, drink, chips & a cookie for $ 6! Most 7″ subs are around $ 3 if you don’t want the combo. They also have wings & I saw a sign for papusas. Will be back for sure.

I visit Philly all the time and this place is on par in terms of flavor. You can taste the seasoning on the steak which gives it an extra tastiness. Plus you get a lot of sandwich for the price. I would definitely recommend this place for a tasty cheesesteak.

I came here on a lunch date with my lover and have to say i was quite impressed! This sub shop is sort of in a ghetto area and looks kind of run down. I ordered a turkey sub and my bestie ordered a philly cheesesteak sub. Both to my surprise were tasty and TOASTED… i just love when my subs are toasted. i hate eating a cold sandwich :(
The place is well kept and clean which is nice since it’s in a ghetto area. Also they sell pupusas here… so don’t think you are limited to subs. The chip selection is large and has a lot of variety. which is great. On the whole Mr. Submarine is a great lunch spot and without question i will be returning and i propose you try the philly cheesesteak sub because it was simply delish.

Okay, so I’ve been getting philly cheesesteak sandwiches here for a few years. It’s certainly a hole in the wall, but the food is great.
The inside is rather small and not incredibly comfortable, but it reminds me of the little «ma and pa» sub shops that I eat at whenever I’m in New England. You don’t get too much of that down here. It’s just very cozy and laid back, but I normally just order to go.
My last visit here, I ordered «The Grand Philly» It comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mushroom. The bread was perfectly fresh. The vegetables were fresh and they added just the right amount of sauce.

I don’t know if Mr. Submarine has changed since the person left a review on Oct 2010, but when I walked in, it looked scary just so unclean! The kitchen was dark with one flourecent light flickering and it looked really dirty back there, let alone seating. I couldn’t get myself to actually order, that’s how disturbingly gross it looked inside. Eh. me thinks not.

I brought my lunch today for work. Except, I needed to go on a bank errand during my break. After leaving the bank Mr. Submarine caught my eye AGAIN. I had to stop. I needed to find out if this place had a good sub. Sandwiches are my favorite food, and some how the name reminds me of The Beatles, Yellow Submarine.
The first thing I noticed walking in is how clean it looked and smelled in there. I like when restaurants take pride in cleanliness. The set-​up here is counter staff. Order at the counter and pick-​up at the counter. I asked for a recommendation from the cashier. He highlighted numerous choices for me kindly. I’m into spicy foods so I ordered the Hot Pepper Philly.
I walked around the place after I placed my order and look around. The décor here was pretty minimal, but decent for a family ran sub shop. I notice they have all kinds of things to fit everyones taste. From salads to wings I say they have a fitting menu. The prices here are more than reasonable, so this beats out other places around here in value.
I picked up my sandwich and bought a whole pickle. It’s been a while since I’ve had one of those. When I got to work I dove right in. This sandwich is huge! 7 inches, unlike the 6 inches you get anywhere else and priced at $ 3.89! BOOM! I’m sorry, but thats exciting for me.
Great taste, the beef was very well seasoned and the veggies were fresh. They use mayo and a house dressing that gives the sub a kick. The bread was nice, warm, and soft. This is the first sub that actually held together through the entire session.
When I want very delicious and inexpensive subs, this will be my spot. I am proud to have gone in and tried it myself.

Tired of chain sandwich places? Make your way to Mr. Submarine!
This is truly a diamond in the rough. Located nearby Northwest Mall, it’s not in the most inviting area of Houston. Don’t let the surrounding area prevent you from paying a visit to this establishment.
Mr. Submarine is a family ran sandwich shop that offers a nice variety of sandwiches to choose from. A popular choice is their Philly cheesesteak. The cheesesteak comes in several variations that fit differing tastes. They also carry a veggie friendly sub alongside standard choices of ham, turkey, roast beef, etc. They also have soups, salads and gyros on hand.
You place your order at the counter, usually by number and choosing either the 7 or 14 inch portion. The 7 inch is plenty, but you do get better bang for your buck with the larger size. As you wait, you can enjoy reading that day’s Chronicle or browse at the posters displaying illustrations of New York City while the aroma of your food fills the room. Makes my mouth water every time.
The family is always friendly and courteous. I always have a soft spot for family ran restaurants. I love this place, and I think you would too.
