The best thing about Lakeshore Super Submarine is how delightfully old-school it is.  It’s apparently been around for over 50 years, and it looks like pretty much nothing has changed in that time (though it’s not dirty or run-down at all).

It’s cash-only, and the prices — like everything else about the place — are a throwback.  I got the “mini” assorted sub (it’s smaller than the standard foot-long, but not by all that much), and it cost $6.75 exactly for a relatively hefty sandwich.

There were a few other customers when I was there, and I think I was the only non-regular.  I can see why.

No, there’s nothing all that exciting about it — it’s a pretty standard cold cut sub, dressed with mayo and sub sauce, and with the usual veggies.  But it’s a no-frills sub done well, and given what they’re charging for it, I can see why people come back.
