Sub City

As always, the food here is amazing! One of the great things about sub city is the freshness and the speed. The prices are good for the food you get. Only downside is that it's cash only, but there is an ATM in the store next door.

We have gone there for years, but quit... The food is really good and I've always like the #25... Who doesn't? The chicken salad is great too. But, after years of waiting forever in line, you'd think they'd figure out they need a twin serving line. I don't have 20+ mins or sometimes a half hour to wait in line. Another thing... This establishment was among the original mask tyrants in the area. I remember going in there just as our governor got rid of mask mandates and getting, literally, hollered at by a female manager (might have been the owner I'm told) and told to leave. My wife was embarrassed for sure. Our community never really did do the mask thing and apparently they had in Marshalltown, so when it officially ended, it was business as usual for us. Either way, her response to seeing our bare faces wasn't appropriate or wise as the person managing the business that day. There are plenty of ways to work with customers when problems arise. This was an example of how not to do it. This woman was obviously working hard and maybe she was having a bad day. But you don't condescend your patrons and kick them out if they make a correctible mistake. They're no different than any other business in that neighborhood... Mother Nature really did a bang up job on their building and I'm sure they worked hard to rebuild. I don't mean to suggest they're not hard working folks that put out a good product. They are. We haven't been back since we were given the leper treatment. I do miss it, and I'd like to stop in sometime as we pass through Mtown, but it stings when you're shamed, questioned about how what we were thinking to come without a mask, and asked to leave in front of a bunch of strangers.

Great local restaurant. The line is often 20-30 deep during lunch time on weekdays! Come hungry as the portions are big and the price is pretty cheap for what you get. My only wish is that they would accept cards.

The fresh, authentic Jersey Style meats and cheese are, sliced and piled high, as you order them. When you order a foot long here..that is what you get !! Plus some !! This pic is of a HALF a foot long !!! Hahaha Bright and inviting place to sit down and have lunch or get it to go and walk across the street to the Historic County Court House and have a picnic on the lawn. I have never eaten a better Sub in Iowa.

Best place to get a sub in Iowa. It can't be more fresh than sliced in front of you. Local business that rocks it!
