Have not tried many places, but the Hook & Ladder @ Firehouse Subs is pretty good.

as far as Rowlett goes there really isn't a good sub shop around actually wish I had the money to open one. I worked at a place called Thundercloud Subs based out of Austin that is incredible and learned alot. I personally like making my own with as many different toppings and what not that I like.

Thundercloud opened a shop up near my work in Houston 15 years or so ago. It lasted about 6 months before it closed down. It was the worst sub's I had ever had. I'm thinking everybody else was in agreement since they couldn't keep the doors open.

You'd have to do some pretty good talking to get me to try them again.


My opinion on the best sandwich chain at this time is Jimmy John's. Simple, fresh and the bread is fantastic.

Jimmy Johns are pretty good as far as Chains go.

There used to be a great neighborhood sub joint in Lewisville. I can't remember the name of it, but their sandwiches were excellent. It was right across from Lewisville High School if anyone knows the place, but it's been gone a few years now.

If you ever get a chance to eat lunch at Dino's Subs in Arlington on Collins St for gosh sakes take it! Best sub I have ever had! All the meat is fresh cut for your sandwich and the toppings are super fresh. Nice people too.

Ceros Heros in Grapevine... They are under new ownership so they are actually open when they say they are going to be open. With the change in ownership about a month ago came a new addition... All Boars Head Meats and Cheeses. YUMMY!

Captain Nemo's in Irving, best steak sub in the world, they make their own bread with no additives, get the house special with cheese, mushrooms and the works.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 05/10/10 03:02 PM

Its not a sub shop persay, but I just found this place on Matlock and turner warnell in arlington that has terrific cheesesteaks. Its called Donnie's. The lady who owns it is from Youngstown, PA and had a cheesesteak stand outside the courthouse there for years. She got zoned out or something and they ended up here. One of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Right up there with the one that an ex-girlfriend brought me back from Philly on a plane w/ her after visiting her mom there.

Another vote for Nemo's. We used to go to the one in Denton when it was still open.

Great Sub

Great Out Doors is good for a chain. Nicks in Lewisville has a good ham and cheese sub those goes awesome with their house italian dressing.

Wonder why Thundercloud hires all those creepy kids with stainless steel face jewelry?

Definately Captain Nemos in Irving. Right on Grauwyler just west of Loop 12. Great steak sub!

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 06/04/10 06:49 PM

Just tried Jimmy John's for teh first time, great sub. They make their own bread which is a substantial plus to any sub.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 06/05/10 07:31 PM

There used to be a small place in a gas station run by brothers on the southeastern corner of the Great Southwest and I-20 intersection. You'd have a hard time convincing me that there were any Philly cheesesteaks better than the ones I had there.

Thundercloud in Austin is decent. Dunno what all the fuss is about, but it's alright. Definitely alot of jewelry and ink. Firehouse and Jimmy John's is also decent, but I've been in love with Jersey Mike's subs for quite a while. Tried their chain store in Houston though, and it definitely wasn't nearly as good as the one in Dallas. Funnily enough, the subs I had at the one is Nashville were probably the best subs I've ever had, better than even the original location. They all fresh bake their bread daily, but the interesting thing is that they will close when they run out of bread. They only bake in the morning, so there have been a decent amount of times the place has been closed by 5 p.m. Best time for a sub is lunchtime, right after the bread has a little bit of time out of the oven.

For a chain I like Lenny's. But I really only like the regular Italian. It's what i get everytime.

Thundercloud aint too bad. Had it many times and seems to be the best I can get!

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 06/08/10 01:22 PM

I took my father in law to Donnie's in S. Arlington for a cheesesteak after we got done crappie fishing on Sunday. He said it was the best cheesesteak he'd ever had. Coming from a man who has traveled all of the world and been extensively stationed on the eastern seaboard in his 25 years as an MP I'd say that was probably pretty high praise.

Jersey Mike's has ruined me as far as chains go. I can't even look at another chain store sub.

Italian Mikes Way add mayo..............

Yes, I agree.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 05/11/13 12:15 AM

It is not a sub, but Brookshires Grocery makes a really good sandwich on the spot at their deli. Meat of your choice (They stack it on, too.), cheese of your choice, wheat or white bread, and all the fixings with a small bag of chips for about $5.00. It is a lot better than any of the sub/sandwich chains for the same price.

+1 Definitely the best cheesesteak I have had. Not really a sub shop tho.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 07/19/13 01:18 AM

If you are ever around Jimmy's at lunch time, go in and order a sandwich. The Italian Stallion or the muffuletta will take care of you.

Jersey Mike's Chipotle Cheesesteak is the winner by a mile.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 08/03/13 03:04 AM

Here is another vote for Dino's in Arlington. Great fresh cut meat! And I swear their oil and vinegar is just better than any I've had on other subs.

Sounds like I need to hit up Donnie's!

Best steak sandwhich - Capt. Nemos in Irving

Best Meatball Sub - Sam's in Cedar Hill

- as a matter of fact everything at Sam's is awesome, go in there and give em some [censored] about their Yankees and their Giants when you go in there.

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 10/06/13 01:43 AM

Still have to give Brookshire's Grocery a thumb's up. Hadn't had one in a while until last week, and it was good. Much better than any of the sub shops and made to your request. About $5.00 with a small bag of chips - drink extra.

Subway on 377(Denton Hwy) in Watauga or Fort worth has 1/2 prices sandwiches late night hours. Makes it easy to get for family lunches on the way home after a late night!!! It Subway but 1/2 price??!!??

Re: Best sub. sandwitch???? - 01/10/14 05:21 PM

man Dinos in arlington takes the cake. my pop used to own a warehouse out there in the early 80's, and he and i have been going ever since. its a 1 hr and 45 minute round trip for us to go, but every chance i can i go. No one else understands driving that long for a "sandwich", and thats because they order just a regular sandwich. you have to get a 19 with the works. extra dinos sauce! its sandwich pornography!!!
