Marina Submarine

I recently visited Marine Submarine as part of my ongoing effort to review various deli and sandwich places in San Francisco. I have also compiled a list of famous sandwich spots in the city, which you can find on my profile.

About Marine Submarine:
The place has a spacious interior and is well-maintained, which I consider to be a positive aspect. In fact, despite being established back in 1975, the inside of the store is very clean and well-maintained. Another pro of the store is that despite many sandwich places having extensive menus, Marine Submarine's menu only has around 10-13 items, which I think is the perfect number.

When it comes to the food, you have two options for your bread: Sourdough or French soft. The food was tasty and the sandwich was loaded with a variety of ingredients. Another positive aspect is that the ingredients were fresh. However, eating the sandwich was not as easy as I would have liked, which is a con. Personally, I prefer sandwiches that are a bit less loaded, but this one was not that type of sandwich.

Although the store was big and clean, it was not cozy and we did not enjoy eating there. The lack of a warm and inviting atmosphere makes it an unfavorable dining option. Nevertheless, the tasty and fresh food, combined with the well-maintained interior, make Marine Submarine worth a visit.

Super filling and great value. The bread is thin but still crunchy and soft. Love how they're super generous with the meat and veggies unlike some other places that fill you up on just bread.

Absolute gem in San Francisco. I’ve been enjoying the sandwiches here for over 15 years and am still blown away by how delicious they are. The prices have gone up over the years but it is 1000% every penny and the quality of ingredients and size of the subs make it a really good value. The attention to detail of the owner and pride he takes in making every sandwich a good experience is unparalleled. I truly love this place.
