Subs in the Lakes Region

[thinkxingu]

Is it me, or are subs in the Lakes Region comparatively expensive? For example, in my hometown, large subs are ~$8 and are sizable. Giuseppe's, Sub Crazy, Artie's, Elvio's, etc. are all $10 or so and not very big at all.

Interestingly, pizza is essentially the same at ~$11-12. Weird.

Locally, subs made at Subway or Sub Crazy are astronomically, out of this world, super expensive!

The Gilford and Plymouth Walmarts both have pre-made 12" subs in a deli cooler for under five dollars, which are actually pretty danged good .... and for some unknown reason ..... do not have the 9% NH food tax.

The Gilford Walmart has individual donuts like a large Boston creme pie, chocolate donut for 68-cents. For a really good cup of totally free, k-cup coffee ..... hit the Meredith Village Saving Bank in front of Lowe's.

THE best subs in the Lakes region, available at JoJo's in Moultonboro are crzy $ also but worth every damn dime. Closing for the season on Columbus day!

If you haven't had a steak bomb sub from Huck's Hoagies (Wolfeboro), you haven't had a great one (huge-delicious- $8-$10)

Drop the Mic... Conversation is over. Can you even compare another Sub to Huck's Steak Bomb? I think not !!

[garysanfran]

I know of none better!!!

I’ve never had Hucks but the steak bomb at Winnisquam deli is pretty amazing. When a sub is that good, who cares what it costs.

I'm coming from Marc's/Benedetti's, so I'm a bit spoiled.

Gotta check out Huck's. The Wolfgang's in Wolfeboro was awesome a couple weeks back.

Not I. Quality over Quantity every time.

John's Roast Beef is really good for subs. They pack them full.

[BroadHopper]

I second John's. Unfortunately after living/working in the Nashua area, my standard bearer is Cahill's Super Sub in Hudson. No one comes close until I had a Philly steak bomb from a street vendor in Philly.

[Orion]

JoJo's #10 on crusty bread, loaded. The best Italian I've ever had and I've tried many. We try to make it a staple once every week we're up there. Be prepared to get sloppy. They are definitely NOT overpriced and cheaper than many other places I've gotten them. They're under $9 and are really good for two meals. :)

[Gatto Nero]

Sub Crazy in Meredith, next to Case 'n Keg, has amazing subs. The large italian is about $9 but it will easily feed two people, maybe three. I tried eating one on my own once and couldn't do it. http://www.subcrazymeredith.com/

Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app (http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92687)We went there a few times and I wasn't impressed either. We've been picking up cold cut sandwiches at the Mobil across from the town docks and found them to be better than Sub Crazy.

Do any local places make a better sub than was once available at Waldo Peppers?

That was the gold standard.

[Lakemamma]

We also love the Moble Station for subs and great Pizzas also.

[Pricestavern]

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about personal submarines (1-4 people). Seeing that is not the case, it did start me wondering if anyone has one or knows of one that has operated in the Lake? Prices seem to range from about $18K up to the millions so it's not inconceivable that there has been one out there lurking.

[garysanfran]

Got my first sub there today. A LARGE Italian...It was excellent and huge.

I've been passing this place for a very long time and never knew...

Thanks Forum members!

You have to get there early though, the muffins are usually gone by 9am.

Even got tortellini salad.

And I filled my gas tank at the same time.

[garysanfran]

When I watched her place my sub on a wrap paper, I thought,.."Not a bad size".

I was wrong, she then picked up the "other half" and placed that on the paper.

Holy cow!

Does anyone want to help me eat the rest of this thing?:eek:

They also make their own bread.

And it's a gas station.

[Hillcountry]

Sounds like “more” than a Mobil station! :D
Have to take a ride over there...

[fatlazyless]

The sub/pizza kitchen at Meredith Mobil has a stainless sink with town water, and it is deep enough to fill one of those large blue, 5-gal water lug-a-jugs that get used for island water, and the boss lady there lets you fill it up for free should you be out of potable water for your mega-million dollar, Winni camp.

Plus, there's a rest room around behind the no charge atm with hot, hot water in its' small sink that's useful if you've been messing with a 6-gallon boat, portable gas tank to wash the gas off your hands.

Also, ditto that for the LaDaSun ..... a triple freebie ..... and you get to run it all direct across Rt-3 from Lake St without having to use that awful hawk signal which stops all the traffic for two minutes whenever the hawk button is pushed.

Anyone know, did Rusty hold onto Meredith Mobil or did it get sold along with the hotels? He probably still owns it since it's a 6am-10pm gas station with a super location and it is not a hotel?

Correction... you did not have to pay. You chose to pay out of the kindness in your heart. If it were a case of “had to pay”, your hard earned money would have passed thou the hands of the government first.

..... no, was not me ..... the Meredith Village Savings Bank, a healthy five minute walk along the bay, has k-cup coffee for free in a very high quality paper cup! The bank makes you feel like a million dollars.

Heard the bank will give you a 12" meatball w/ melted mozzarella cheese on Fridays from 4-6pm, when you deposit a local paycheck for $200 or more, at their take out window!

[Biggd]

That coffee is for bank customers. I hope you have an account with them.

Derived from the Greek gyros???

[LIforrelaxin]

Another thread that amazes me.... Everyone talking about sub prices, but not many talking about sub types... sizes etc.....

Jo Jo's in Moultonborough is about the best for price and quality of a cold sub.... I am in love with the #10.....

I haven't found subway in Moultonborough any more or less expensive they any other subway shop I have been in, all over this country....

Overall Jo Jo's prices and sizes are pretty comparable to what I see where I live in Massachusetts.....

As for Aritie's I have only eaten there once, and wasn't happy with the quality or size, and I haven't been back....

Overall I don't think sub prices are all that bad around the lake.... however if you used to ordering a small sub at home, and go to Jo Jo's for the crusty sub roll, I guess I can see where the price might seem high.... But get something the same size at home, and I believe you will find out they are a decent value....

[joey2665]

Not that I know of all sandwiches hot or cold, Italian or American are called "heroes" in NY. We do not use Hoagie, grinder or sub (unless your at subway, lol) at all.

How about Full Beli Deli in Wolfeboro. It looks to me as if they have gone to only one size, 12", but some pricing differences depending upon what you order. I have never been disappointed with their products. The nomenclature for this type of product changes as you travel around the country, but the proliferation of Subway shops has done a lot to spread the word "sub" as a universal term, notwithstanding local terminology.

Effective January 9, 2020: Subway is running a 6" sub promotion for 2.99, slider sandwich for 1.89, with roast chicken or veggie delight ...... anyone here actually do this recent promo at a lakes region Subway and live to tell about it ..... so, how was it?

Any chance the 4.99 foot long sub will ever return? Like, if they can do a promo low price for the 6" sub, then why not also do a 12" sub promo, too!

What? You want a review for a $2.99 sub before you risk your own cash?

Maybe you should start with the $1.89 slider before you take the big risk!

Anyone remember the grinders that were on sale at Robbins Store. I believe Shirley, a long time employee made them at home and brought them in to sell at Fred’s. Very simple ingredients. Bologna, American cheese, light salami, and pickle. They were great.

Walmart has a six foot sub sandwich tray with three 2-foot long sub sections made with French bread for $39.98, plus tax.

www.walmart.com/ip/Marketside-6-Foot-Sub-Sandwich-Tray/151031433

Made with your choice of ingredients and intended to serve 25-30 people at a party get-together but with a little home preparation could feed a party of one for a couple, three weeks, or something. With slicing it into 30 equal portions of 2.4-inches each and wrapping in plastic food wrap and freezing, it could be good to eat with maybe 90-seconds baking in the microwave and some mayo or mustard or both mayo and mustard, heavy, together!

Like ...... how good is that! Makes you hungry just thinking about it, doesn't it!

I know N.H. will add a 9% tax, but does Massachusetts add any tax for this food item?

Jo Jo's are the bestLast night's rain interfered with grilling, so we grabbed some subs from JoJo's, and I believe Janet (and others) are right: the best subs, and the best value, around. I love their crusty roll and how they stuff them with the good stuff, not just filler. 3 subs and 3 whoopie cookies for under $35 is a bargain!
