About This Spot

A no-nonsense sub shop that's been feeding West Portal families forever. Toasted subs, hot sandwiches, and a simple menu that kids can actually order from. Nothing fancy β€” just good subs at fair prices. Perfect grab-and-go before a hike or picnic. The kind of old-school neighborhood deli that every street needs.

Planning Notes

πŸ’‘

Keep it simple β€” the toasted subs are the move. Half subs are the right size for kids. Great grab-and-go option before heading to a park or playground. Cash-friendly but they take cards too. Closed Sundays, so plan accordingly. No frills, no fuss β€” just solid sandwiches.
