I miss Rick (the previous and ORIGINAL owner). I have been going to Substantial since I was in elementary school (Notre Dame). This was always the place I went to get a good quality, DELICIOUS assorted sub. I just recently went in to experience the new shop, and the assorted sub was very...off. The cheese is creamy now and almost sour tasting, the meat quality has definitely gone downhill (I know that Rick's meats were also processed, but he used higher quality meats which he sliced on his own at the store).

Read moreTerrible subs and terrible service. From out of town and asked for Italian sausage subs and they send 2 cold cut subs.

Won’t be ordering from here again and I’ll be telling friends and family...
Read moreWe have been loyal customers for many years. Subs always delicious and we would recommend to all our friends. This I will not be doing anymore.

My husband actually had to remind the girl to put the meat on, because she was just about to close up the sub with just lettuce,tomato and cheese. So miss the old owner. Will not be back...
