Favorite Sandwich Shop?

I haven't seen State Street Deli in Mason City mentioned. Pretty tasty. Starboard Market in Clear Lake is good as well.

Based on 20+ years living in the area I'm putting Charles City and Waverly in the Cedar Valley, but by nature of them spending my entire life in the NORTHEAST Iowa Conference there's a pretty strong argument to call them NE Iowa towns.

Well, Waverly is no longer in that conference, they got booted.

Not quite yet, or at least not fully. They just won their how manyeth consecutive conference wrestling title a few weeks ago. But yes, they're on their way out.

Always order everything but tomatoes and they always reply we don't sell butt tomatoes

Weird. I was literally just thinking about the sandwiches I used to get at the M-shop back in the day and then this thread pops up.

Sandwiches are great but it’s goes to another level when the “soup’s up!”…

Wife and sister in laws love Starboard Market.

Sub City in Marshalltown is the best in the Highway 30/I-35 corridor in my opinion

If you’re in NE Iowa, you know the answer is Sub City.

This is the way.

It's been a while, but the Sub City in Waverly was the bomb.. Meat was stacked 2 inches thick and the toppings were heaped to the max. Not just an amazing sub, but insane value.

Now, best sandwich shop I've been to anywhere? That would have to be Zingerman's deli in Ann Arbor. Prices are insane (for a sandwich) but it really is amazing. Last time was probably 10 years ago and it was close to 20 bucks for a sandwich, chips, and drink. Every time it's like "this better be the best sandwich I've ever had" and it is. It's hard to be an 'institution' at those prices unless the product is that good. And it is.

I'd put Downtown Deli in Ames ahead of them.

Frankly, that’s the strongest argument to call CC north east vs north central

Are there Sub City shops anywhere else but Cedar Falls/Waterloo and Marshalltown?

There's one in Waverly, which is in northeast Iowa.

Cedar Rapids - Emil's Hideaway They do other stuff now, in addition to sandwiches, but they started as just Emil's Deli for years, then the kids took over and ran with it.

Careful, Al might ban you for that.

If you are ever down south (dallas, TX and savvanah, GA are the two places I've had it) Roly Poly is an amazing sandwich shop. You'll thank me later!

Steak 'n Shake! I really don't know much about their menu. When I go there, I always get the 'special', Double Cheeseburger w/ everything and Fries, for $4.00. Can't beat that with a stick! And it always tastes great.

I suppose all franchises don't have that 'special'.

Please let me know if there’s a good sandwich shop in CR/Marion.

Firehouse and Jersey Mike’s are the only ones I go to. Need something better.

I just looked it up. There was one in CR, but closed now? But if you find one somewhere, it's worth trying.

Dugan’s — old school.

Yeah the steak and shake is closed in crapids, I think it's either a Freddy's now or a dunkin donuts and I think the actual steak and shake building got torn down.
