When my husband asked me where I wanted to go to eat lunch today, the first thing that popped into my head was Sub Station (3663 Canyon Crest Drive, Riverside, CA). If you're from the area, you are well aware of what Sub Station has to offer. If you're not, well, first I have to say "Sucks to be you." And then I would have to say that Sub Station has the BEST sandwiches in Riverside, CA. Dare I say, they have the best sandwiches in the county? Yes. I dare. In fact, I'll go even further to tell you that Sub Station has quite possibly the best sandwiches in Southern California. They are THAT good!
Begun in 1972, Sub Station has been on the University of Riverside campus since gas cost $0.33/gallon and a brand new Volkswagen Bug cost $2200. They're almost as old as I am. They have been a mainstay on the campus because they offer the best cold sandwiches around. Our personal favorite is the Big Dude, a gastrointestinal delight that includes cappocolla, dry salami, pepperoni, ham and cheese. We share the big 12". My son loves the meatball subs. But, it appears that lots of people do since they tend to run out of meatballs towards the late afternoon. Luckily, we were early enough today that he actually got to enjoy one.
The Sub Station has employeed UCR students since it first began. You can enjoy a visual trip through the Sub Station's ever-changing student roster simply by looking on the walls. There are photo collages of many of the student workers from the last 38 years there. They even serve Bud Light on tap and a variety of bottled beer to the over-21 crowd. All sandwiches are served on butcher paper, a much better alternative to styrafoam plates.
Sub Station can get quite busy sometimes. So there are two separate indoor seating areas as well as an outdoor seating area to enjoy their great sub sandwiches under a sunny Southern California afternoon. They offer catering for any occasion, including weddings, office parties and birthday parties. They are open from 10:30am-7:45pm Monday through Saturday and 11am-6pm on Sundays.
If you are hankering for a mouth-watering good sandwich, head to Sub Station - the BEST sandwiches in Riverside CA and, quite possibly, all of Southern California. You can thank me later!
