I was hoping for something more than an ordinary sub shop and I found it. I had the best veggie sub, they slice the meats and even the cheese right when you order it. Everything tasted so fresh and the bun was just right. The staff was super friendly and they seemed like they enjoyed their job. Thank you for a pleasant experience. Only 4 stars because after all you are still a sandwich shop.

So according to a review Subway is better...that almost stopped me from going to this place for lunch. I ordered the #1 which was the Italian sub, I got it on white bread and was far from being disappointed. First off they cut/shave the meat right there in front of you (this was awesome except seeing the young lady who was cutting continually wiping the sweat off of her forehand) they don't have an array of topics, but what they have is all that you need. When I bit in to my sandwich, I noticed everything was super fresh. The bread had the perfect texture, and the bonus, it had a nice salty taste. Mixed with the the vinegar and oil that I never get at Subway (because of the soggy bread effect) this was just the finishing touch. Port of Subs blows Subway and Jimmy Johns with their "lightening speed" straight out of the water. (Lame closing in 3....2...1...) I definitely will port here again haha

Love this place. For all you sub sandwich fans you need to check this place out if you haven't already. You don't leave smelling like cheese(subway) and they slice all the meat and cheese fresh when you order it. It is a little more pricey than Subway, about 9 bucks for 8 inch sub, but hey you get what you pay for. Can get really busy around lunch time with all the industrial areas around. The staff is friendly will move you through the line pretty quickly though. Having 2 different lines where people can order their subs helps.

First review for this Port of Subs. Been coming to PoS for almost 30 years tho. Ordered the hot pastrami combo online. I don't like the bread grilled though but they always accommodate. I arrived 10 minutes before my appointed time but it was just coming out anyway (they were just opening). Sandwich was hot, with juicy meat and crisp toppings. The most important part, to me, is the bread though. Bad bread can spoil a good lunch. My sourdough was soft and warm, delicious. Service was good (for takeout) and I will be returning.

The subs are always great, love that everything is thin slices. They always make my sandwich how I want, extra pickles. When they get rushed and the lines get long the staff gets hurried and forgets to be friendly, they get to business and loose the the smiles. But long lines are always a good thing because the food is worth it. If you like sandwiches stop by!

Great food and fast service is just what I like for a quick lunch during work. GREAT JOB!

Not impressed..I ordered the #11 ham and cheese which is usually my go to at any sandwich place. It was just plain nothing special. I think jimmy johns, jersey mikes, and az sandwich company are all better! I don't think I will be back.

1st time here and I must say the turkey bacon avacado was really good since it was my 1st time I had to order another sub so I got roast beef , that was fresh n tasty as well. Ive now added this to my list of fav sub shops

Clean, fast, and delicious. Today was the 1st time we'd ever had Port of Subs and we were very impressed. We ordered online and picked up about 15 mins later. Im interested in trying their breakfast pressed sandwiches.

First visit here. Not impressed. $9 combo meal, but my sandwich is mostly bread and the meat was so skimpy. I got the salami/turkey/provolone with lots of veggie toppings/mayo/salt/oil/vinegar...honestly, all I taste is bread. Won't be returning.

dew bow bow.ooooooo yyyyeeeaaaa.....dew bow bow. This is the song that I should be singing, as I slowly enter the Port of Subs after deboarding the light rail. Port of Subs is my drug of choice, and eating such tasty subs makes me happy. I got 12 inches last night...12 inches of subs....and it tasted so good! nomnomnomnom! Port of Subs never fails me. Its just so good! All bread cooked on site, and not like the chain sub places, its actually really really good! I got the #18, lots of meat and whatever I wanted. Tasty! Thank you Port of Subs, thank you. Eating here makes my brain and stomach delightfully happy!

The kids meal for $4 is just right. This location is quite spotty when it comes to service. Some workers are friendly, some are quite kurt... and I eat there 2-3/week. Also, the format/order that they make the sandwiches is a little off putting.

I always prefer to support the local businesses but Subway is better.

Prices are great, portions are perfect, and it's fresh! When I spend 5 hours in a cubicle in the early morning watching the guys behind the counter slice the meat never fails to entertain me. They don't overload on ingredients. The sandwich is simple because the meat is good enough alone. Nice choice in bread, too. And for less than $5 I can definitely make a couple of visits per month.

Danielle B.
Their sandwiches are MUCH better than subway's. All their cold cut sandwiches are great, but there meatball is one of the best. Highly recommend it.

Port of Subs is the same as most other sandwich shops - except how do they get pickles so thin? Seriously - they are thin and translucent. The staff is fairly skimpy with the toppings and my sandwich maker today was not proficient with the avocado scooper. The scooper is very small. He put one scoop that was about the size of a quarter on the sandwich. He attempted a second scoop, which he had to scrape around the bucket, and then fumbled the exchange as he tried to put it on the sandwich. As both dabs of avocado hit the table, he reached for the spatula. The spatula was not much better as he dropped it, and attempted to schmear the little avocado on the bread. As much remained on the handle as was on the bread. Maybe he's new? Or maybe they are just skimpy on toppings and have an inefficient staff?

As a vegetarian, Port of Subs is one of the few fast food/casual dining type places I can/will eat at. I looove a veggie sub from Port of Subs. They slice the cheese (and meat) here, it's much more appetizing than the cheese/meat you see sitting there at Subway and other sandwich shops. The main bonuses here, other than fresh slicing, are the sourdough bread and pepperjack cheese (never know if other sandwich shops have either of those), and first and foremost the mayo/mustard mix. I always get a ton of it. The only reason I took one star off my review is that lately, the mayo/mustard mix tastes a bit different (although that may just be my taste buds??), which was, honestly, the main draw for me, so I find myself coming here less often. I also really, really appreciate that they clean the machine before slicing the cheese for a veggie (#6) sandwich here. They say it is their policy to do so, but not every location does so...and I have learned to make sure the machine is cleaned first, after I got a sandwich with some slices of meat on it from another location. I appreciate that they do this without my having to ask (esp. since I always feel a little bit bad asking them to take the time to do so, esp. @ lunchtime, when this location gets crazy busy). Also love the frequent customer type card, buy 12 get one free! Always makes me happy to get a free, delicious sandwich.

I don't know why, but the difference between the POS in Tempe and my home shops in Reno is something I can taste. Its still good, but its just not the same as Reno's several shops. I think its the bread. They also need to work on the speed of service. I know its an art, but need to do that with the quickness.
(3)
Dennis E.
Sandwiches are pretty good....good enough that I usually go there once or twice a week...sometimes more. It can get crowded in there during lunch hour so if you can get there early or have a late lunch, I'd recommend that. All in all, not a bad place to grab a sandwich for lunch.

Allison R.
Good but I am sure the staff is high. Or retarded. Also, they do not use enough meat.

Kristy R.
I don't know why people think that just because a sandwich place slices your meat for you that it automatically makes it more fresh and delicious. I highly disagree. Is it a nice touch for a restaurant to cut the meat and cheese fresh, sure I guess. What does this mean for you though? Sometimes less meat/cheese as well as a longer wait in line. I'm not saying I hope the sandwich places I like cut everything a week in advance, I would hope that they just prep in the morning. This sub shop is beyond mediocre. I have eaten here two or three times and it's only because it is so close to work and I didn't have enough time to make it to a better place. Not to rip on these guys but money is money...I like to spend mine where I actually really enjoy the food and it's a treat for me to eat there. I don't get that from here. This is on the same level as Cousins for me...they're both food if you're hungry but they are lower grade sandwiches for the same price as really delicious ones.

The other sandwich place next to work. This place gets really amazingly busy at lunch time. You would almost think they were giving away prozac on wheat with phone numbers for bored housewives written in condiments on the bread. Sadly, this is not the case. Decent sandwiches though if not nutritious.
(4)
Sarah R.
What I love about this place: You can submit an order online and go pick it up without having to wait in the long lunch line! Thank god for the internet. The staff is efficient for the most part. The sandwiches are made to order and they have outdoor seating. It's close to where I work so I come here often.

Not bad. Bread is slightly bland. Meats are FAR better than subway. Good selection of veggies and are always pretty fresh. Overall, good chain sub place.

The only reason I took one star off my review is that lately, the mayo/mustard mix tastes a bit different (although that may just be my taste buds??), which was, honestly, the main draw for me, so I find myself coming here less often. I also really, really appreciate that they clean the machine before slicing the cheese for a veggie (#6) sandwich here. They say it is their policy to do so, but not every location does so...and I have learned to make sure the machine is cleaned first, after I got a sandwich with some slices of meat on it from another location. I appreciate that they do this without my having to ask (esp. since I always feel a little bit bad asking them to take the time to do so, esp. @ lunchtime, when this location gets crazy busy). Also love the frequent customer type card, buy 12 get one free! Always makes me happy to get a free, delicious sandwich.

I don't know why, but the difference between the POS in Tempe and my home shops in Reno is something I can taste. Its still good, but its just not the same as Reno's several shops. I think its the bread. They also need to work on the speed of service. I know its an art, but need to do that with the quickness.

Ok for a quick bite

Not impressed..I ordered the #11 ham and cheese which is usually my go to at any sandwich place. It was just plain nothing special. I think jimmy johns, jersey mikes, and az sandwich company are all better! I don't think I will be back.

1st time here and I must say the turkey bacon avacado was really good since it was my 1st time I had to order another sub so I got roast beef , that was fresh n tasty as well. Ive now added this to my list of fav sub shops

Clean, fast, and delicious. Today was the 1st time we'd ever had Port of Subs and we were very impressed. We ordered online and picked up about 15 mins later. Im interested in trying their breakfast pressed sandwiches.

We picked up a pair of sandwiches on the way to A's spring training and it was definitely better than what The A's were offering inside.

Port of Subs is the same as most other sandwich shops - except how do they get pickles so thin? Seriously - they are thin and translucent. The staff is fairly skimpy with the toppings and my sandwich maker today was not proficient with the avocado scooper. The scooper is very small. He put one scoop that was about the size of a quarter on the sandwich. He attempted a second scoop, which he had to scrape around the bucket, and then fumbled the exchange as he tried to put it on the sandwich. As both dabs of avocado hit the table, he reached for the spatula. The spatula was not much better as he dropped it, and attempted to schmear the little avocado on the bread. As much remained on the handle as was on the bread. Maybe he's new? Or maybe they are just skimpy on toppings and have an inefficient staff?

I don't know why people think that just because a sandwich place slices your meat for you that it automatically makes it more fresh and delicious. I highly disagree. Is it a nice touch for a restaurant to cut the meat and cheese fresh, sure I guess. What does this mean for you though? Sometimes less meat/cheese as well as a longer wait in line. I'm not saying I hope the sandwich places I like cut everything a week in advance, I would hope that they just prep in the morning. This sub shop is beyond mediocre. I have eaten here two or three times and it's only because it is so close to work and I didn't have enough time to make it to a better place. Not to rip on these guys but money is money...I like to spend mine where I actually really enjoy the food and it's a treat for me to eat there. I don't get that from here. This is on the same level as Cousins for me...they're both food if you're hungry but they are lower grade sandwiches for the same price as really delicious ones.

The other sandwich place next to work. This place gets really amazingly busy at lunch time. You would almost think they were giving away prozac on wheat with phone numbers for bored housewives written in condiments on the bread. Sadly, this is not the case. Decent sandwiches though if not nutritious.

What I love about this place: You can submit an order online and go pick it up without having to wait in the long lunch line! Thank god for the internet. The staff is efficient for the most part. The sandwiches are made to order and they have outdoor seating. It's close to where I work so I come here often.

Not bad. Bread is slightly bland. Meats are FAR better than subway. Good selection of veggies and are always pretty fresh. Overall, good chain sub place.
(3)Nalani G.
I was hoping for something more than an ordinary sub shop and I found it. I had the best veggie sub, they slice the meats and even the cheese right when you order it. Everything tasted so fresh and the bun was just right. The staff was super friendly and they seemed like they enjoyed their job. Thank you for a pleasant experience. Only 4 stars because after all you are still a sandwich shop.

So according to a review Subway is better...that almost stopped me from going to this place for lunch. I ordered the #1 which was the Italian sub, I got it on white bread and was far from being disappointed. First off they cut/shave the meat right there in front of you (this was awesome except seeing the young lady who was cutting continually wiping the sweat off of her forehand) they don't have an array of topics, but what they have is all that you need. When I bit in to my sandwich, I noticed everything was super fresh. The bread had the perfect texture, and the bonus, it had a nice salty taste. Mixed with the the vinegar and oil that I never get at Subway (because of the soggy bread effect) this was just the finishing touch. Port of Subs blows Subway and Jimmy Johns with their "lightening speed" straight out of the water. (Lame closing in 3....2...1...) I definitely will port here again haha

Love this place. For all you sub sandwich fans you need to check this place out if you haven't already. You don't leave smelling like cheese(subway) and they slice all the meat and cheese fresh when you order it. It is a little more pricey than Subway, about 9 bucks for 8 inch sub, but hey you get what you pay for. Can get really busy around lunch time with all the industrial areas around. The staff is friendly will move you through the line pretty quickly though. Having 2 different lines where people can order their subs helps.

First review for this Port of Subs. Been coming to PoS for almost 30 years tho. Ordered the hot pastrami combo online. I don't like the bread grilled though but they always accommodate. I arrived 10 minutes before my appointed time but it was just coming out anyway (they were just opening). Sandwich was hot, with juicy meat and crisp toppings. The most important part, to me, is the bread though. Bad bread can spoil a good lunch. My sourdough was soft and warm, delicious. Service was good (for takeout) and I will be returning.

The subs are always great, love that everything is thin slices. They always make my sandwich how I want, extra pickles. When they get rushed and the lines get long the staff gets hurried and forgets to be friendly, they get to business and loose the the smiles. But long lines are always a good thing because the food is worth it. If you like sandwiches stop by!

dew bow bow.ooooooo yyyyeeeaaaa.....dew bow bow. This is the song that I should be singing, as I slowly enter the Port of Subs after deboarding the light rail. Port of Subs is my drug of choice, and eating such tasty subs makes me happy. I got 12 inches last night...12 inches of subs....and it tasted so good! nomnomnomnom! Port of Subs never fails me. Its just so good! All bread cooked on site, and not like the chain sub places, its actually really really good! I got the #18, lots of meat and whatever I wanted. Tasty! Thank you Port of Subs, thank you. Eating here makes my brain and stomach delightfully happy!
(5)David B.
The kids meal for $4 is just right. This location is quite spotty when it comes to service. Some workers are friendly, some are quite kurt... and I eat there 2-3/week. Also, the format/order that they make the sandwiches is a little off putting.
(3)Elle B.
First visit here. Not impressed. $9 combo meal, but my sandwich is mostly bread and the meat was so skimpy. I got the salami/turkey/provolone with lots of veggie toppings/mayo/salt/oil/vinegar...honestly, all I taste is bread. Won't be returning.
(2)John K.
I always prefer to support the local businesses but Subway is better.
(3)Tracy L.
Prices are great, portions are perfect, and it's fresh! When I spend 5 hours in a cubicle in the early morning watching the guys behind the counter slice the meat never fails to entertain me. They don't overload on ingredients. The sandwich is simple because the meat is good enough alone. Nice choice in bread, too. And for less than $5 I can definitely make a couple of visits per month.
(4)Danielle B.
Their sandwiches are MUCH better than subway's. All their cold cut sandwiches are great, but there meatball is one of the best. Highly recommend it.
(5)Allison R.
Good but I am sure the staff is high. Or retarded. Also, they do not use enough meat.
(4)Dennis E.
Sandwiches are pretty good....good enough that I usually go there once or twice a week...sometimes more. It can get crowded in there during lunch hour so if you can get there early or have a late lunch, I'd recommend that. All in all, not a bad place to grab a sandwich for lunch.
