Marina Submarine

"It’s not glamorous or hip or comfortable, but we don’t really care, because the sandwiches at Marina Sub are stellar. The place has been on the corner of Steiner and Union for over 30 years and yes, you can tell. But despite some wear and tear, the simple sandwiches - everything from turkey to meatball - are huge and delicious and very no-frills, except for some special sauce. The owner is great and takes his job of making excellent lunch for the Cow Hollow people very seriously." - Taylor Abrams

"This sandwich shop is about as bare-bones as they come. There are just a few guys working behind the counter, a cooler full of Coke and beer, and some small tables to sit at while you wait for your order to get called. We usually come here thinking we’re taking our sandwiches to Fort Mason, but more often than not, we sit right back down at our table and eat it here because we can’t wait. We like the Atomic with turkey, pastrami, and cheese, but you can’t really go wrong with any of their combinations of meat, bread, and cheese." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
