Food: Deliciously convoluted subs
Balboa Sub houses some commendable sandwiches. The Turkey, Bacon, Swiss and Avocado Sub is an explosion of well-balanced flavors. The Italian Cold Cuts Sub has an impressive towering presentation, and the Pastrami Sandwich will leave you craving more. However, customers have argued that the cuisine lacks creativity, with a few voicing concerns about a monotonous menu.

Not Creative

Pastrami Sandwich
Pastrami perfectly paired with fresh toppings and soft, delicious bread.
Vibe: Lackluster setting devoid of energy
Much to the restaurant’s disadvantage, it harbors an uninteresting vibe. The surroundings are so insipid that it might inspire you to use your submarine sandwich as binoculars while you hunt for something exciting. There’s completely no buzz, and the ambiance, or the lack thereof, mirrors a ghost town at best.
Bad Buzz
Restaurant is very bland, lacking energy, not trendy or photogenic.
Perks: Dreadfully slow service, parking horror
The service at this sub shop basically recreates a scene from a snail race, and the final victor might just be the snail. Win or lose, the parking deserves its own horror franchise, with visitors likening it to maneuvering through a congested labyrinth.
Hard To Park
Parking spots too narrow, lot terrible, or absolutely no place to park.
