Great old-school sandwich shop next to UCR. Staff are extremely friendly, and prices are reasonable. Has a mix of both indoor and outdoor seating. Quality is good - bread is always fresh and veggies are always crisp. There's a reason this place has been around for 50 years now. A throwback in the best way possible.
Favorite sandwich place in Riverside. The Big Dude is outstanding!!
We been coming to SubStation for years. It was nice being able to walk over to get a sandwich. Great customer service and atmosphere. We drive over to get our favorite "The Big Dude" now. Reasonably priced and enjoy every bite.
Best place to get lunch in all of Riverside. Free parking in the lot for all customers. Went with family today and tasted everyone's food. The Pastrami is great. We all LOVE the potato salad. I get the "Rich Wich" which is on toasted wheat sub, with marinated cucumber, melted swiss, and sooo much avocado. The Club Sub hit the spot, too. We also had the toasted Veggie and the pesto and roasted red peppers were delicious. They also have a party room that could seat big groups across the hall; that was a little quieter. Would totally be back with kids to sit there. If it was warmer we would've sat out on the patio - it's perfect for eating with a dog. Sub Station is a gem!! If you've never been, you MUST try it! Vegetarian options: The potato salad is vegetarian, the soup is usually vegetarian. The "Rich wich" is vegetarian. The toasted Veggie is delicious. I think they can make a vegan sandwich when asked. The workers are super helpful. Parking: Free parking for all customers. Came on a weekday and there were plenty.
In a city filled with great sandwich shops - this one tops them all! We have moved out of the area but whenever we are in town they are my first stop. A warmed ham & cheese with avocado and extra yellow peppers on the side. The best!!
Amazing sandwiches. Love the Big Dude! Today I ordered the avocado sub and requested to add pickles. The service is great and always clean. I’ve been coming here for 25 years!
