Subs-N-Sutch: The Best Bang for Your Buck

In case you did not know, every Monday is sandwich Monday. Located just right on the edge of Kansas State Campus behind the bank, across from Throckmorton hall, lies a delicious sandwich shop called Subs-n-such. In all of my three years of living in Manhattan, I had never gotten a chance to come into this local establishment until a couple of weeks ago. I had first heard about it when I moved in my freshman year in the dorms. It wasn’t until a couple weeks ago when a friend of mine, Alyssa, said her family now operates the business. With no articles written about this great establishment, here’s where I came in.

To give a shortened history lesson, Subs-N-Such first opened its doors on Seth Child road back in 1980 when a couple of owners, Les and Sharon Swenson, were finding a way to pay for their in-state tuition. With only selling 10-15 sandwiches a day, it boom to success over the next few years. Eventually, it had turned over to new owners twice since it had first opened. Currently, it is now in the hands of Paula and Darrin Frey.

After reading the reviews online, Subs-N-Such is Home for “The Kitchen Sink” sandwich which is exactly what I ate (minus a few veggies). Like most sub shops, you get to pick your bread. Fresh Baked French Bread, Wheat, or Sour Dough. Two cheeses of your choice, sauce, and veggies.

I chose to get the usual mayo, lettuce, and tomato toppings on my sandwich. Just to keep it simple while savoring the balance of the flavor. While I was eating this sandwich, I thought to myself that this sandwich is fit for a king. From the measurements of the sandwich it weighs about 2.16 LBS, Height 3.75 inches, with the length of 13 inches. This is indeed the best sub sandwich I had ever eaten. The bread was very soft, the entire sandwich was very flavorful, and I don’t know how I happened to eat the entire sandwich. 

Even after eating the entire sandwich, I still managed to get myself a Beirock. With the owner’s grandmother’s recipe, it is a great hit to get on Fridays…. But you must get them early before they are sold out.

All cookies, Brownies, and other baked goods are also big and homemade. My favorite one in which they’re quick to run out, are the Banana-Chocolate chip cookies.

There’s a large variety of many different sandwiches, meats, toppings, and other stuff that you can always choose from.  I do recommend that you go check this delicious restaurant out. It is sure not a disappointment for your money. Since K-State is known for being a school that represents the value of “Family”, this restaurant does a perfect job of holding on to that K-State Spirit and term within the shop. The restaurant serves Manhattan and the K-State community very well. Walk inside, and see for yourself the K-State Themed atmosphere.
