I think there was but it didn't last long in the black hole next to that First National Bank.

I think that was Planet Sub. I don't think Ames has had one, because if we did...HOLY **** I would have been there.

We do have downtown deli and that place is solid (especially since the decline of West Street Deli).

The problem with sub places revolves around hype. When I lived in Auburn (unfortunately) they had a place called Momma Goldberg's that was supposed to be the second coming. It was...meh.

I then went to Firehouse Subs (a chain) and thought it was awesome! I've never had Planet Sub so maybe it is good.

For me, Sub City is on another level (one in which West Street Deli used to be on). But then again, I don't want to start the hype machine.

As a man with fat-guy knowledge of sub shops, I bet Casey's slaps together a mean sandwich. Thank you OP, because I had no clue they even made them.

whoa whoa whoa, why isn't planet sub in this argument?

Little bit more expensive, but worth it. :yes:

This. We could argue all day about which is the best, but everyone mentioned is better than Subway.
I think that it's more of a sentimental thing, but I've always loved Little King (lived off of them in college, you could get a two for one on their footlong, that would last me four days back then).

Hmmm never had Casey's subs. Does anybody know if the Casey's in Waukee or any Casey's nearby has the sub shop?

The first time I got Casey's i thought it was coincidence with morning wood.. Turns out their pizza was just that good.

This was planet sub.

Now that you mention it, I think you are right.

I believe the one on Mills Civic next to Walmart probably is the closest. I can think of three Casey's in or near Waukee and I don't think any of them have one.

Sub City???? Haven't thought about that place in a lot of years. Loved walking up Bremer Ave when I was in college in Waverly to grab one.

I realize that it doesn't belong in this conversation because these are more "convenience-type" stores. But Manhattan Deli on Ingersoll is freaking outstanding.

There is a planet sub right by daydreams across the street from drake. Or at least there used to be.

Careful, only the new stores. I had mine in Huxley. As far as Sub City, there is one in Marshalltown and Waverly.

Caseys = Greatest Pizza in Iowa which is funny because it comes from a gas station. Thank you Caseys for not selling out to that Canadian Company!
