Silver Mine Subs

Let’s just say If I could rate this place negative stars, I would, and not because the food is bad but just because of the service. I ordered ONE sandwich, and I live about ¼ mile away… IF that. I ordered the sandwich at about 8:10pm… and by 9:20pm the sandwich STILL wasn’t here… so I called, nicely just to check on it. and the girl TORI. HUNG UP ON ME. and when I called back she literally laughed and said «my bad».after that the sandwich MAGICALLY appeared five minutes later, and once I opened it up it was cold (probably from just sitting there). lets just say SIlver Mills on Mill won’t be getting my business again.

The box lunch is not a box lunch. We ordered two subs that were listed as having a sub, pickle spear, and a cookie included. We received two subs and four packs of the wrong chips. I love their subs but was disappointed by their false advertising.

The manger was rude and hung up over the phone while I was telling him that my French dip had no sauce, not just that I ordered two large sandwiches and they sent over Two small sandwiches but still charged me for large. An employee answered the phone and apologized for his manger’a behavior as I can hear the manger yelling in the background. The employee helped me and was so nice. I don’t understand how he is a worker and not a manger by the way he handled the situation and made up for his mangers misbehavior.

I’ve never personally gone in to the shop. So I can’t speak of how clean it is or isn’t. It’s a college town. It’s Mill. This place delivers late and it’s surely better than fillibertos. Delivery can take some time depending on the night. Reasonable prices I’d say standard considering you get more meat. Great tasting subs for a great price on a night you don’t want to drive!

Typical sub shop, except for lazy employee who made my sandwich, who was sitting her big tushie on the counter as I walked inside. Then, you had the dancing dude at the register taking cash and the low quality «college drinking» food that was served. There was a dog that wandered away from its owner at Tempe Town Lake and it was hanging out at my bench and I unloaded most of my Chicken (Frontier) sandwich on the mutt, who seemed to enjoy the pre-​cooked chicken strips. Just know that your sandwich will take 15 seconds to make and if you are expecting them to put your chicken on a grill before they serve it up think again. It’s all pre-​cooked and sitting in bins for who the hell how knows long. This is not a businessman lunch place, it’s a late night «we don’t care what we are shoving into our face place»

The subs are definitely better than Subway, Jimmy John’s, or Jersey Mike’s. Better bread, better toppings, and much more meat (I’m actually pretty surprised that some reviewers have said the opposite about meat portions). They sometimes like to smother sandwiches with mayo, which is fine by me, but might be off-​putting to some. The tables can get a bit dirty at times, especially around lunchtime, but I rarely sit down to eat inside. Delivery is also a little slower than others, but they deliver much farther than Jimmy John’s will, so it’s an obvious tradeoff. Overall, you know what you’re getting when you buy a cheap sub, and Silver Mine Subs has yet to disappoint.

Ok so I hate to do this on assumption only, it MAY just be coincidence (or maybe not), but my date and I went for late-​night Silver Mine Subs and were both felt ill the next day (him more so than me): gurgling guts, stomach cramping, and on and on.
Location:
–right off Mill, very convenient for those already drinking on Mill
–difficult to find parking nearby if you are NOT already on Mill (which we weren’t)– parked 6 blocks away and walked in
–open til 3AM, again convenient for the drinking crowd
Staff:
–very friendly staff, especially since it was after two in the morning
–never felt rushed, they allowed us to take our time ordering, add things after they already «built» the sandwich.
–started cleaning up the filthy seating area, were very polite and waited for guests to leave before cleaning that area
Cleanliness:
–floor was really filthy, I’m sure it’s because of the late night drinking crowd
–there was an entire sandwich under one table– it had literally stuck to the floor
–bathroom was «OK»
Food:
–I got the Caribou 5″ sandwich, unsure of what date ordered
–everything tasted really good going down, but both of us felt sick to our stomachs the next day
–drink fountain is cool with lots of different soda options, plus add-​ins like flavors
I really appreciated the customer service aspect of Silver Mine Subs and their subs are delicious and flavorful. But the drunk frat boy making out with his sandwich (literally couldn’t keep his head off the table while eating), the dirty floors, and the illness that followed a late-​night grub sesh here is enough to keep me away for awhile. Corleone’s is just down the street…

I enjoy silver mine from time to time
When I used to live on campus at ASU main Silver Mine would be one of the only late night delivery places
Their subs are good, from the meat to the cheese, to the bread…
Their prices are pretty reasonable as well and their staff is always friendly
Tonight I had the kids sandwich combo because I wasn’t very hungry and I enjoyed it… I think it’s a good portion for kids… It also comes with a bag of goldfish and a fruit roll up stick :)
Also the deliver until 3AM

Taste was meh. Couldn’t finish it it was that bad… Jimmy Johns and Subway win over this place. I regret giving a tip. Couldn’t even finish the food. Biggest waste of $ 12…Good cookies though.

Food is good and delivery is fast!

Siver Mine is up there on my favorite subs list in the valley. I tried Jimmy John’s and I regretted not going to Silver Mine. I have tried almost every hot sub they have and my favorites include: Cripple creek (if I’m in the mood for ranch), Frontier (if I want BBQ), Steam engine (meatball mood) or the Buffalo Stampede (buffulo sauce). I have a hard time choosing between these 4 every time and I have to go through every scenario to decide. It’s awesome that they deliver so late! I would say my experiences are 50/​50, half delivery and half at the Mill location, both awesome!

I work in the area so I frequent this place. They are a no frills sub shop… but good. I have tried several of their subs and they are pretty tasty. There are so many sub shops in the area, but I will walk the distance for their subs. Great selection on the sub menu, it is always fresh.

There are so many sub shops in downtown Tempe it’s hard to decide. I’d say Silver Mine is marginally better then most and the prices are good. I think the best thing they have going for them is that they deliver in a college town. I work in the area, but have never taken advantage of the delivery service, so can’t rate them on that. I do know that when my husband and I were vendors in the Tempe Festival of the Arts Show and our booth was near Silver Mine, it was a God send. At that time we had the sandwich that has all the Italian meats on it and I’ll have to say that’s the best they have. When I go I tend to order something healthier like turkey, but none of those are as good.

All I can say about this place is that this place is fast but I think that is because they don’t put meat on their sandwiches. Maybe this was just a product of coming in there at 10PM?
If you’re looking for meat, go to Firehouse Subs. If you’re looking for a lettuce on a bun, come here!

Oh… my 2am delivery staple.
Their «til 3am delivery» feature is one of the beauties of Silver Mine. Their sandwiches are always fresh and these people are fast. The Dodge City w/​a side of chili is my go to. So, so good.

Our first visit was a five:
We came across this place by accident but we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. My husband had the silver city sub which is an Italian style sub, which he said was one of the best he has ever had. I had there home stake which was really good as well.
Our last visit would be !/​2 a star:
Service was very slow and the sandwiches were not very good at all we should have gone to Jimmy Johns down the street. We wont be going back!

I ordered from here because I was craving a good sandwich and needed some place that delivered. I used the online website and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to maneuver and figure out. They called to make sure they got the address right BEFORE leaving to deliver it which was refreshing. I ordered an 8′ Dodge City and a side salad. The side salad came with fresh, yummy bread. The sandwich was the perfect size and tasted delicious. The portions were perfect for how hungry I was. This place is also great late night if you have spent the evening having several alcoholic beverages. They are open and deliver until 3 a.m. Check it out.

Need drunk food on mill? Look no further than silvermine. They stay open late to feed that post boozing hunger and they have good subs to boot. I got a sub with roast beef turkey and cheese and it was just what I needed. My buddy got some of the broccoli cheese soup which was surprisingly good and I am not even a fan of broccoli cheese soup normally.
Only real knock on this place is that it tends to be a bit pricy when compared to other similar sandwich places

Lets just say that I go here for lunch at least twice a week. As does the rest of my office. It is that good. Not just because its a hop skip and a jump from my building, but every sub I have ever had here, minus the Philly cheese steak which we will discuss later, has been tasty and fresh and simply delightful.
I’ve tried The Dodge City — Pepperoni, Salami, Provolone, etc,. The Caribou– Turkey Breast, Double Provolone, Avocado, LTM etc… & The Comstock — Roast Beef, Provolone etc. I love everything about all of these EXCEPT for the fact that they do not *actually* use avocado slices, its more like, avocado paste. Not guacamole. Paste. Still tasty if you can get past the texture, but I would prefer the real deal.
Now like I said, Ive also had the Philly Cheese Steak. Ive got to be honest. It tasted like vomit and old cow. There wasn’t enough cheese and the peppers on it were overwhelming. Silvermine either needs to a.) alter this recipe immediately or b.) completely nix it from the menu. It was g.r.o.s.s.
Let me give you a little money saving hint while I’m at it. It is cheaper to order a sammich that has all the toppings you want then removing something rather than adding an extra topping to a sammich. if that makes sense. At almost $ 2ea for some of them, ie: pasty avocado, you will certainly save a little. especially if you eat here at the rate that me and my fellow Terraleverians do.

Was out on a date yesterday, and we had worked up an appitite. We were on the light rail, and decided to stop off on Mill to find food. Walked down mill for a second, and found silvermine subs. SCORE!
I had never been here before but I liked it. Its not the fanciest place. Simple location, good food, decent prices. They seemed to have a good selection of hot and cold subs, with different side items and combo meals. I got the King Bullion, and it was tasty! I went with the small sub (5 inches) a large pop and some chips. Food was up in no time flat. Seems to be a college kid hang out, especially considering the location.
Would return in a heartbeat. Tasty, reasonably priced, and right off the light rail on Mill.
