“THE BEST sandwiches in LA County. BAR NONE.“

“I ordered the Santa Maria BBQ sandwich, and it was delicious. The bread was incredibly fresh. I even got to see them making it right there. Anissa (I hope I am spelling that right) took my order and truly impressed me with her efficiency. She handled everything from running the register to prepping food and organizing to go orders. Despite the busy crowd, she was friendly, thorough, and quick. The restaurant was clean and well organized and the employes worked seamlessly as a team. Great Food, great service.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??“

“Let me telll you the best freaking pastrami sub I’ve ever had and I hate sub sandwiches cause I can never find a good one. But de Franco has my heart it’s been 3 days and I want another so baddd. Plus the owner is the sweetest most amazing person ever!!! Can’t wait to go back and get more!“

“Classic Mendo Farms goodness. Just check your items before leaving to ensure that your order is correct. Driving away, on the way to an appointment, and then realizing that your order is wrong is THE WORST. Fortunately, staff was proactive about a resolution. One star docked for the atmosphere because it has a slightly grimy vibe. I’m sitting at a “cleaned” table right now, and it has a coffee stain on it. Plus the communal seating is—well—communal. I’d rather eat in the comfort of my car without the leery eyes of strangers who have food dangling from their overstuffed mouths. 5 stars for the staff: The staff here is super kind.

Oh, one other thing: you can’t pay with a $100 bill. I thought they would surely have change during the lunch rush, but no such luck. Had to go order lunch at Gelson’s that day.“

“Stopped by for an afternoon sandwich. This is a nice little shop with sandwiches and Vietnamese food.
The people behind the counter are really friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a #7 pork sandwich. It was really good. What impressed me the most and stood out was the fresh vegetables in the sandwich. They were crisp and refreshing with every bite. I really enjoyed this sandwich!
This is a take out only place, no indoor seating.“

“Every time I come here I’m always greeted by a “hello” and “how are you” from the sweet lady(Harvinder) working at the register/line. Food has always had a consistently good taste and service is pretty good. Thank you for always being helpful, sweet, and attentive Ms. Harvinder!!“

“Awesome Turkey Subs ! loved the Jerk Turkey Sub !“

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“Mendocino Farms is definitely one of my favorite spots! The first thing you notice is how incredibly fresh every single ingredient is. No matter what you pick from the menu, the food is consistently delicious, high-quality, and super fresh.
I also have to mention their Chicken Farro Soup it is absolutely magnificent! It’s hearty, flavorful, and the ultimate comfort food. It’s one of those dishes that keeps me coming back again and again.
Great place with an amazing selection and consistently high standards. Highly recommend!“

“This is Mike.
Mike takes selfies like he's never seen a camera before. 😂
But taking selfies is not what Mike gets paid to do.
Mike was kind enough to do this for me because I asked him to.
And the reason that I asked him to is because of what Mike does.
Mike does sandwich artistry and customer service.
And he does them well.

And when I say sandwich artistry, I mean that I watched him make my sandwich, and watching how he placed every piece of produce onto the sandwich with care and intentionality, it prompted me to ask him how long he had been working here.

He replied that he had been working at Subway since 2018, so approximately 8 years.
I eagerly let him know that his 8 years of experience shows in the care that he takes in making the sandwich. Watching him, it's evident to see that he takes great care in making sure that each sandwich component is placed proportionately and evenly.

Literally, like a piece of artwork.

Very kind, very considerate, and once he realized that I had mobility issues, he definitely went above and beyond the call of duty to offer me assistance. From bagging, to holding the door open for me, he made sure to have an open hand the entire time.

So if you're in the area, and you're hungry...

Or even if you're not hungry, to be honest....

I would definitely recommend coming here between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., during the weekdays, and anytime during the weekends.

And if you end up getting a couple of footlongs, you might be in for a great surprise.

UPDATE: 8 - 24 - 2026

Just after 4:00 p.m., I ambulated into Subway and was greeted by Sandwich artist Victor. Victor has been there about 3 years less than Mike, but he's just as proficient, an equally as hospitable. Please introduce me to the Doritos Footlong Nachos.
(I'm not going to repeat the secret sandwich sauce combo but Victor... I didn't even have time to take a picture of it)“

“Stopped by Subway recently and had a really nice experience. Jasmin helped me out, she was super friendly and easy to talk to, which made ordering feel comfortable and not rushed. They got everything on my sandwich just right and it tasted fresh. The whole visit was quick and smooth, and overall just a pleasant stop. I'd definitely come back.“

“I’ve been to this Firehouse Subs location twice now, and both visits were great experiences. The customer service really stood out — the staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and took the time to greet us and offer suggestions from the menu. You can tell they care about making customers feel appreciated.

The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept, and the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Pepperoni Meatball Sub — it was flavorful, hot, and made perfectly.

Overall, this is a wonderful location with a great team working there. I’ll definitely be coming back many more times. Highly recommend!“

“Very happy with my first experience here, clean store when I walked in, my food was already bagged and ready to go and when I got home I was quite pleased with my sandwich. If you’re looking for a great hot sandwich stop by and give em a try!“

“Emiliano helped me and my family out today. Dude was so friendly, it really just made our day. Having a human connection like that really makes a difference, give that guy a raise! I’m coming back every week now! Plus my chimichurri steak and bacon sandwich was BOMB!!“

“Let me begin with the positives such as a clean area to eat outdoor or indoor and the cooking area is clean. The lentil soup is vegetarian and super savory with the dill and seasonings. The soujouk burrito is delicious with great tortillas. Please don't change the tortillas. The green Greek salad is fresh and tasty. The coffee is smooth and perfect warn temperature. The macha was perfect as well. I believe what makes this a place I will come back to are the organic good quality ingredients they use and the attention to flavors. It's important to cook with care. They do cook with care and it shows. I will keep you posted if anything changes.
The negative for me is the parking and plastic utensils. Personally, I don't like plastic. However it will not deter me from coming back.“

“Pockets absolutely deserves some recognition. My family and I stopped in and ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich and the Don's Chicken Sandwich, and honestly both were some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time.
The Ultimate Steak Sandwich was loaded with tender, juicy tri-tip, perfectly sautéed peppers and onions, and not one but two kinds of melted cheese all piled onto a toasted sesame roll. The combination of cheeses took it to another level — rich, gooey, and perfectly balanced with the meat and peppers. Every bite had great flavor and the meat was cooked just right. The Don's Chicken Sandwich was equally impressive — crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken topped with fresh avocado and crispy bacon. Not the kind of avocado that's been sitting around either — you could tell it was fresh.
We added fries to both orders and they were exactly what fries should be: crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy. A great complement to both sandwiches.
The place itself is small and cozy — just a few tables — but the parking is easy which is always a plus. What really stood out though was the owner. He was running the whole operation by himself and somehow kept everything moving quickly and got our food out fresh and hot without any wait. That kind of dedication shows, and you can taste it in the food.
Pockets is the kind of local gem that deserves way more attention than it gets. If you're looking for a seriously good sandwich in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. We'll definitely be back.“

“Love coming here for the Famous “BOBBIE” sandwich it’s delicious 🤤 It’s Soooo good I ordered extra to go!!“

“Amazing sandwiches and especially the Cajon chicken wrap. good stuff.“

“Good colt cut sub. The inside was very spacious, only problem I had was it was a little warm inside didn’t necessarily make me want to sit down and enjoy my sandwich there but the sandwich was good. Good value I paid 15 bucks for a mineral water bag of chips and a large sub. I thought it was a great deal and the food was decent.“

“Fat Sal’s Deli is not the kind of place you go to for a light meal or a careful, measured dining experience. It’s the kind of place you go to when you want food that commits fully to what it is—bold, oversized, unapologetic, and designed to be remembered long after you’ve finished eating.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere made its intentions clear. It’s lively, slightly chaotic in an energetic way, and filled with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you’re offering. There’s no attempt to be subtle here. Everything about Fat Sal’s feels amplified, from the menu to the portions to the reactions of people waiting for their orders.

Ordering felt almost like making a decision with consequences—not because it’s difficult, but because everything sounds like it’s designed to be more than enough. The menu reads like a list of comfort food ideas taken to their most indulgent version, and narrowing it down becomes part of the experience itself.

When the food arrived, the first thing that stood out was the sheer scale of it. These are not modest portions, and they are not meant to be. Each item feels constructed with a sense of excess that somehow still works because it’s backed by real flavor and structure. It’s big food, but it’s also intentional food.

What surprised me most was that despite the size and intensity, the flavors were well balanced. Rich ingredients were layered in a way that didn’t feel random. There was a clear sense of composition behind each item—something that could easily be chaotic if not handled properly, but here managed to stay satisfying and coherent.

Eating at Fat Sal’s is also an experience in pacing. You don’t rush through it. The portions naturally slow you down, not because they’re heavy in a negative way, but because there’s simply a lot to take in. Each bite feels like part of a larger, ongoing experience rather than a quick meal.

The atmosphere around the dining area reflects the same energy as the food. People are clearly enjoying themselves—sometimes laughing at the size of their orders, sometimes sharing dishes, sometimes just taking a moment to process what they’ve been served. There’s a shared understanding that everyone is here for the same reason: something indulgent, satisfying, and over-the-top in the best possible way.

Service was efficient and matched the rhythm of the place. Even when it was busy, orders moved steadily, and the staff handled everything with confidence and familiarity. There’s a sense that they are used to the reactions their food gets—and that’s part of the charm.

What makes Fat Sal’s stand out is that it fully commits to its identity. It doesn’t try to be subtle, refined, or minimal. Instead, it embraces excess but still maintains enough structure and quality to make that excess enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

By the end of the meal, I realized it’s not just about the size or the novelty—it’s about the experience of going all-in on comfort food without hesitation. It’s the kind of place you remember not because it was delicate or quiet, but because it was bold, loud, and completely satisfying in its own way.

Overall, Fat Sal’s Deli delivers a dining experience that is heavy in presence, flavor, and personality. It’s indulgent, entertaining, and surprisingly well put together beneath all the excess—and it absolutely delivers on what it promises.“

“I wanted to give this place a try because one of my coworkers kept recommending it. I tried the egg lover panini and this is just a personal preference but I did not like the combination of mustard with egg and it had way too much mayo for my liking. Also the girls working there today are lacking customer service. They weren’t rude or anything but I would have been nice if they asked how I was doing, if I’ve been there before, if I had any questions, any recommendations, etc. It just seemed like they were not happy to be there at all. But I’m trying to be understanding because everybody is going through things. I might decide to give it another chance.“

“I had a great experience at Subway! The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared exactly how I wanted it. Kalyan provided excellent customer service—he was friendly, polite, and made my order quickly. The restaurant was also clean and well maintained. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience at Subway today! Mike gave excellent service—super friendly, quick, and made sure everything was just right. You can tell he really cares about customers. Thanks for making my visit smooth and enjoyable. Definitely coming back!“

“I cannot figure out what it is about Jersey Mike Subs that makes me so happy and is so different from other sandwiches. I really love the turkey and provolone sandwich and I always order it Mike's Way. I wanted to try many of the other items, but I keep going back to that turkey.The staff was really nice and efficient! We will definitely be coming back again.“

“Owner was super nice, great sandwiches!“

“Ordered the roast pork. Very big sandwich you can easily split or save the other half for later. I don’t know what liquid they add on top of the sandwich but it was amazing! The bread soaks up all the juices and it’s a flavor bomb with every bite. I will say their pork is no where near as tender as valley of sandwiches.“

“First time trying this for delivery. Our order was done exactly how we asked and super fast too. If you like grilled onion on your burger like i do...hold onto your hat because these were not just grilled but carmelized to perfection. And the butter cake...holy moly...move over cannolis cause you've been replaced with this as my new favorite dessert! I cried tears of gourmet joy while I ate“

“This is my favorite location because the staff here are always welcoming!! They are nice!! I like this team!! Also the way they prepare your food, is way different than other locations, they put dedication and inspiration to it. Great customer service. And place is clean every time I'm there.

Vegetarian options: A variety of veggies and veggies paties available

Kid-friendliness: Proper for kids to dine in.“

“The definition of a little hole in the wall, and I mean that in all the best ways. The food is delicious, affordable, fresh, and quick. It's a kind of a combination subs and a little bit of Korean, sometimes at the same time. Probably my favorite philly cheese steak in town. The bread is great. The teriyaki sub is delicious.

It's close to where I work and it's my go-to lunch spot when I want to go out.“

“I’ve been eating subs from My Hero since 1972! THE best subs I’ve eaten, ever. Moved through the years, and always went to My Hero’s when within 5 hours by car to where I was staying! The high quality of their food has never waivered! The buns are soft, yet chewy! The tomato salad in each sandwich is always fresh! Plus they give a generous portion of the protein! My favorite has always been pastrami! Lean and tasty, everytime! The staff is welcoming and genuinely happy you are there! I’ll be going in a week as I pass through the area! Will be the highlight of my trip! Thanks My Hero for keeping the memories alive and never disappointing!“

“Came in this afternoon, was warmly greeted immediately as soon as I entered. Ordered a jumbo pastrami sandwich which ran me about 17 bucks on the dot, which for how big the sandwich was is pretty good imo. The bread was warm the meat was good and the veggies were fresh. Had a crack at the pinball machines and then went about my day. Overall a pretty good experience. I'd come here again!“

“I gave this subway a second chance and this time they didn’t disappoint staff was much nicer and the place was more clean. The food was pretty good. They just need to get more staff during busy hours there was a really long line during lunch time.“

“Jersey Mikes in Canyon Country.I cant say enough about this owner. He's a very caring person. I remember when our grand daughter was in a horrible accident.this store was just awesome.“

“Great subs, Fresh breads, veggies, deli style meats and cheeses. Highly recommended :)“

“The owner of this place is truly one of the best. He treats his customers like family, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people who come through the door. I believe he’s originally from Australia, and for some reason I thought he no longer owned the place, so it was great seeing him there again the other day.

The shop is always clean, the staff is friendly, and I’ve had a lot of good experiences here. I did get a little upset recently because my sandwich wasn’t made the way I expected, but I later found out the person working that day was only filling in for one day and normally works at another location. That completely changed my perspective, because it wouldn’t be fair to hold this store or its regular staff responsible for one person’s mistake.

At the end of the day, this is still one of my favorite places. Great owner, great atmosphere, friendly people, and a business that makes you feel welcome. I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“My family loves Jersey Mike's. We have loved everything we have tried. Sure, it's on the pricier end, but you can't beat the quality. This location is good. We placed an online order and the food was ready on time for pick up. Service was quick and efficent. We got a regular Chipotle chicken cheesesteak, mini original Italian and giant Chipotle cheesesteak. All these were fantastic.“

“This place is incredible! The care and attention they put into every sandwich really stands out. I’ve been to so many spots where you feel rushed in and out like just another number—but here, it truly feels like a community.
They make everything right in front of you, so your order is always spot-on. And if anything ever needed fixing, you can see they’d handle it immediately—that transparency and freshness make all the difference. I also love that they’re always offering new suggestions, so there’s always something exciting to try or add on.
Honestly, they’re amazing—I’d give them ten stars if I could!“

“I had the #10. I loved it. It's worth the extra money. I hate subway.“

“I always get greeted on the way in and get really good service!!“

“Fantastic Bánh mì - pork and pâté Just $4.75. The baguette was perfect. Crusty outside soft in the middle. The vegetables on the sandwich were so fresh and crunchy. Mayo is included on the sandwich, but there was so little I hardly noticed. This sandwich did not need anything else. I’m going back to try the rest of them. 9-10 varieties Bánh mì. 10 inch roll. I ate half in the Am and half at lunch. Again, just $4.75!“

“Great people and food... I come here allot after school.... really clean and nice people.“

“Good experience in the store. Employees were friendly and tentative. It did get a little busy and while ordering I was cut off just so my order taker could answer another employee who picked up a phone call. Usually, you want to take care of customers in the store before handling a phone call lol. Overall, clean, prices are average for this area and food was delicious.“

“Great service, great food, today is my first time here, mainly because this particular Subway location is a little hidden, but I will definitely be back!! :) ☆“

“Stone Oven sandwiches hit every time. My mom and I ordered the garlic basil sandwich and my personal favorite the spicy chicken sandwich with Caesar salad.The oven baked bread is savory along with the ingredients and fresh guacamole in the sandwiches. There salads are also great with the tastiest croutons made from the same oven baked bread. I always enjoy the spicy chicken sandwich!“

“My husband and I stopped by after seeing Eddie Izzard's Hamlet right down the street. I got the Damon Bruce and my husband got thr Hollywoo. Both were fantastic (though I tried both and think i picked best). The dirty sauce was surprisingly sweet, and the only complaint I have is that it was sweeter than I would have liked. Did not stop me from devouring the deliciousness, though. I will be back if I am in the area again.“
