Gambino's New York Subs — Restaurant in San Francisco

Old Lady Studebaker told me "Gambino's New York Submarine Sandwich Shop is the best in the city!" I was helping her tune the Wigglewacker on her Reverberator Thingy...but only after she washed it! And, she promised to take me to lunch there. Well, we got the thing set to the same frequency that Kim Kardashian has hers set to...that thing was poppin and jumpin around and spittin out all kinds of lubrication stuff, ..kinda made me queezy all over, but when I looked at Old Lady Studebaker...her eyes were as big as could be, she was trembling and couldn't turn away from the thing....she handed me a Benjamin and said you go to lunch by yourself, I have to do something. Man-O-Man I couldn't get outa there fast enough, and the last thing I heard as I went out the door was that thing going through the gears at full throttle! I got that Submarine sandwich and she was right...Gambino's is the best! 5 stars all...

I was a daily client of this place until the last week I stopped by the Gambino's New York subways at front st. SF, CA at the embarcadero Center and I ordered a soy latte, and there was no soy milk, so they just offered me 2% milk, and I said ok, no problem 👍 and the guy make my latte, I walked out the restaurant, I walked 2 blocks and sipped my coffee the first time and I found out that my coffee was made it with spired milk 😡 my coffee was sour and disgusting 🤮 I didn't come back cause I was almost at work....but they lost a daily client for that, so bad 😏 So, if you visit this place make sure the person who will make your coffee, check of the milk...

I keep coming back because: the food is great, staff is amazing, and both of it helps the place feel comfortable like home.

Cold sandwiches are served super quickly in just two minutes. The hot sandwiches take longer, but just as much worth it. The food are all reasonably priced around just ten bucks, which is totally worth it in FiDi area for a solid lunch. The staff is the most consistently nice staff I've interacted with in the entire area.

Coming from the east coast, I was hesitant at how a SF-based "NY Subs" place would be - but everytime I'm feeling nostalgic I just come here during a workday and it makes me...
