Subs On The Run Review Pic

It was Ground Hog Day (February 2nd) when I stopped in at this eatery after hearing good things about from two of my riders while conducting contract transportation services here. You know you can trust a personal review when it comes from two people who are not acquainted with each and they actually consumed the service unlike these new bogus online review services that thrive on negativity. This establishment is located in a not-so-popular section of the city but along a major artery through Miami that extends north into Broward County which becomes Highway 441/State Road 7 which rolls right past the very popular Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida. It also rolls past one of my favorite childhood canals just north of N.W. 81st Street where I and my crew spent countless hours fishing for Oscars, minnows, and an occasional turtle.

That canal was also the scene of one of the most daring feats that I have ever seen to date. My cousin jumped in one day and swam clear across to the other side on a dare. This was after we had spotted a gator swimming along shore while fishing on one of our outings. When you grow up dirt poor this was it in terms of summer fun. This end of this major thoroughfare is littered with industrial and commercial buildings but it does not hinder the traffic that this place sees daily during lunch time hours. I arrived just after 1 P.M. and after dropping off my last rider for the day. The lunch time parking was very hectic and I was lucky enough to get a spot in their parking lot as opposed to risking getting towed parking elsewhere. The line was still pretty long and it got longer after my arrival. People were dressed in their various work attire to include some from the nearby hospitals downtown. I could tell that they were regulars because they knew each other and some of the restaurant staff. One lady was so well acquainted that she was able to order from her place in line which was in back of me. I did not get mad at her because it was my first time visiting.


The dining area was clean, relative small and furnished with typical contemporary tables and chairs that one would usually find in a well-established eatery. A key was required for the restroom so I skipped that part of my usual review because I did not want to lose my place in line. They have coolers up against the walls along the queue to place your order and they are stocked with soft drinks and bottled water for sale. There is a minimum $10 order charge for customers that chose to use plastic to pay more their meals. Good thing that I had cash on me because that minimum is above my maximum for lunch. Smile! The establishment also charges 25 cents for a cup of water; something that we used to joke about happening back in the day when air was also free. The air conditioning (remember this is South Florida) was set to a comfortable temperature, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.


Their menu items were priced low compared to the chain sub restaurants -- from just $2.10 to $7.79 for a foot long. They give you a choice of a few toppings (not as many as the chain stores) and three or four different cheeses like the chain stores. In addition, you can choose white or wheat bread; not as many choices as Subway. I ordered the 12 inch (foot long) hot turkey sub with provolone cheese and a few extra toppings, on wheat bread, and chose to have mines heated just like the chain stores offer. My order was up in the typical 10 minutes which was great considering the long lunch-tine line. My total came to $7.21 with tax which is not bad for a foot long even without chips and a drink.


My foot long looked good, smelled good, and most importantly tasted much better than good. It was a wonderful blend of perfectly cooked turkey, sauteed onions, bell peppers, and provolone cheese. My wheat bread was pleasingly soft and I rate this sub far superior to any chain store sub that I have ever had to date. It was so delicious that I am craving another one as I write this review. In addition, it was so big that I had enough left over for dinner that same day and I wanted to eat the wrapper as well. Need I say more? Mom and pop eateries like this are extremely difficult or impossible to duplicate on a grander scale which is all the more reason why I feel very blessed to have been introduced to this jewel that I will certainly become a regular myself.


Subs On The Run is located at 2801 N.W. 7th Avenue, Miami, FL, 33311. Their phone number is (305) 638-4646. Tell ′em that you read about them in Trend Magazine Onlinetm.
