Chinese Sub Shop/Super Submarine Sandwich Shop-614 S. Highland
Don't let the name fool you. The sandwiches are all American. Andrew Chu and family have owned this neighborhood favorite for almost 20 years. Miss Bonnie, the star sandwich artist, has been making masterpieces almost as long.
"I really don't know how many I make. Its maybe be over 500 a week," she said.
The 12-inch Super Sub is the tastiest and by far the best value in town. For $7.30 you get a 12-inch super sub, chips and a 44-ounce fountain drink. If a foot long sub is a little more than you can chew, no worries, there are also 8-inch options. As an added bonus, every sandwich comes with complimentary potato chips.
Chinese Sub Shop is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
For fast service and great prices, Chinese Sub Shop gets 3 paws.
