Apparently, this place used to be called the Rainbow Sub & Yogurt.  Judging from Yelp reviews, not much has changed. It’s a tiny place hidden away in a plaza on Verdugo, right before it crosses Chevy Chase (and a block from the big hospital). It’s most definitely the kind of place you’d just drive by without noticing. Lucky for me, I’m a walker.

There’s plenty of parking, and while the place is small, I get the impression it’s never that crowded, so the few table inside are probably perfect. The first thing you notice, when you walk in, is those low, low prices. These are discount subs, baby. The most expensive subs are $5.50 for a12″.  And that’s an actual 12″, which, for those unclear, is a massive sandwich. It’s not a broad menu (and is lacking an Italian sub), but, there’s something for everybody.

I went with the Turkey and Avocado, hoping that it was at least half as good as the similar Turkey and Avocado over at The Sub King in Burbank (Review forthcoming). They offer both white and wheat bread, which, for a diabetic fellow like me, is a BIG plus. I got the whole wheat, and, was pleasently surprised that it’s a legitimate, thick whole wheat. The meat is stacked high, and the veggies were fresh and crunchy. The Avocado was somewhere between fresh and guacamole. I could’ve really used more avocado, but, overall, it’s a great tasting sandwich.

And did I mention it’s huge?

See?

Also on the menu, smoothies, frozen yogurt (TCBY not Pinkberry), and a smattering of salads. I got the Tuna Salad, and was pleasantly surprised at both it’s size and quality. For $3.50 you expect a lot of lettuce and not much else, but this one has cucumbers, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and that fancy purple lettuce.

The staff was nice enough, and the sandwich was made quickly and cleanly right in front of me.

So, for $5.50, and just a short walk away, I’ve got to give this place 4 stars. It’s better than Subway, and cheaper, too! Perfect for a mid-day snack, and, big enough to give you leftovers for a late afternoon snack.
