| - This Port of Subs is a quick ride from my job. I work at a family business, so I am often joined for lunch with my father and brother. We all love it!
The staff knows us (and our strange orders) by heart. My dad always gets the same tuna salad, with bizarre specifications -- he hates lettuce, so he gets a bed of onion and tomato instead, plus he prefers a downpour of vinegar to anything resembling dressing. What's so great about the girls at this place is that they take the time to remember the specifics. Yesterday, my dad ordered a meatball sub, which was a compete betrayal of his regular order, and the girl almost had a heart attack.
I've always preferred Port of Subs to its competitors, like Subway or Quiznos. I love the endless options, and that they slice the meat fresh. I'm also a fan of the flavors. Whenever I bite into my regular (medium #15 on wheat with added turkey), the taste just sends me right back to childhood.
Something to note... They're making the sandwiches fresh, slicing each and every piece of meat, and handcrafting the toppings as per the customer's choices. That sort of care takes time! It just does. So the complaints about long lines and slow service fall flat for me. If you want FAST food, then maybe Port of Subs isn't the place for your quick lunch break.
Also, as an employee of a family business, I happen to appreciate that this Port of Subs is a family affair as well. I noticed some previous reviews knocking the company for this... But I certainly don't think it's a con, in any capacity, for a family to run a restaurant. They know what they're doing, and they do it well.
