Greater Grinders Submarines — Restaurant in Portsmouth

A Passionate Review of Greater Grinders in Portsmouth:

I’ve been a loyal customer of Greater Grinders for years, but sadly, something has drastically changed within the past 6 months to a year. Whether it’s a shift in ownership or management, the quality of the food has taken a noticeable dive. What used to be my go-to spot for delicious sandwiches has now left me disappointed and frustrated.

Let’s start with the portions: they’ve noticeably shrunk. From smaller chip bags to skimpier bread and portions, it feels like every corner is being cut. The tuna, which was once fresh and flavorful, now tastes like it's been swapped for a lower-quality version. What happened to the good stuff?

On top of that, they’ve changed the drink sizes and switched from the sturdy styrofoam cups we all loved to cheap plastic ones. While I understand the need to keep up with new protocols, there’s no reason they need to sacrifice quality to maintain a profit. It's as if they’ve completely disregarded what made their food special in the first place.

One thing I can still appreciate is the service. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately, that doesn’t make up for the food just not being good anymore.

Until they go back to the quality I’ve grown accustomed to, I won’t be returning. I sincerely hope they listen to their loyal customers and make the necessary changes because I’d love to come back. But for now, it’s...

Order 6" Steak and Cheese then went to restroom and then sat down, now no customers were there when I walked in and it was 11:04am customers started coming in as I was waiting for my food. I didn't get food till 11:36am. Looked disappointing soon as I unwrapped it. I assumed my sub would be toasted and then my lettuce and tomatoes would be added just my assumption but anyway could tell that they cooked a single steakum no salt or pepper or anything then made up my sub with onions lettuce, tomatoes and peppers and put it in oven.. was really toasty and dry and plain. My tomatoes and lettuce were soft mushy and very warm. I went ask for Mayo packs and salt and pepper but it was just not good I ate 3 bites and wrapped it back up and left. I paid almost $11 for something I didn't eat...I'm glad I didn't get a whole sub maybe i expected to much this was my first time at this location. Quite a few customers came in to this location but I won't be going back to...

So this business has been around forever and they used to be good… I just paid $30 for 2 subs, which is normal cost these days however this sub, the club sub to be exact had exactly 1 thin slice of Turkey and 1 thin slice of ham, and not even the good lunch meat, the square processed lunch meat you get cheap at the grocery store, I basically paid for bread… the bread was good, but there was no meat, all you tasted was onion mayo and bread… I mean I know times are hard right now and the economy isn’t the greatest…. But when you order a club you expect there to be meat on it. They must be struggling hard to put out that kind of quality sub. If you think subway is bad with their meat.. you haven’t seen anything yet. I would not ever waste money here again unless they change their quality. I used to really love this place, and I enjoy supporting small local businesses, but this was a...
