I think I found my new favorite local sandwich shop. Stumbled on this place through Unilocal today and I am so glad. Not easy to find as mentioned in the countless other reviews, use the stairs and head to the bottom floor. Great price and top notch, friendly customer service. Not much to offer for strict vegetarian but my veggie sandy was awesome. Recommend going with the ½ — plenty of food. Got chips, drink and ½ sandy for 10 bucks. Definitely going back!

OK, I went into the building on the main level and didn’t see anything. So then I read the sign and it said this place was on the lower level so I had to take the elevator down one floor. Sure glad I did! The breakfast burrito I got was cheap and really good! Can’t wait to come back here and try lunch! Would really recommend you come by and try this! Assuming it was Dave behind the counter, he was really great and he knows all his customers. Which is a nice change in today’s impersonal world!

Great Breakfast Burritos for an easy going price. Huge variety of tasty subs to choose from with a friendly staff to boot. The only negative about this place is that they never ever open on time. I work in the building and I can tell you I have been there more than several times at 15 past 6 and no one is home. If you want a breakfast burrito, earliest your going to get is about 6:50, which should be the official open time, not 6am. Again great food though.

*Located on lower level of 5680 building, no signage outside* Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk Sammys. As stated, the location is inside an office building on the lower level, so if you decide to take a traditional lunch break, let’s say 11:30−1, I could see this place being pretty packed. That aside its much nicer than you would expect, it’s not a small office kiosk type place with crappy coffee and granola bars, they have a very normal shopping center aesthetic that makes you forget you took an elevator or stairs down to get here. Few TVs on ESPN, plenty of variety in drink and side options are available. As others have mentioned the menu is huge, they even have stuffed tomatoes, soups and other fare you wouldn’t expect. The sandwich I ordered was a provolone and roast beef, with bell peppers and house made Italian dressing. I ordered a small and it was plenty without chips or anything else, no skimping here. The standout was watching them hand slice the tri colored bell peppers before placing on my sub. Everything was great and would go back when in the area, only tick down is because like the other review said, they used the super micro that a lot of the other shops employ and not the press or toaster on the counter. During peak times I would understand but there was no line and I was off peak, still, it was a great sub and I would return.

Their subs are amazing and very filling. There’s a tremendous variety, and they even have really tasty breakfast burritos for cheap!

Tasty! I only found this place by looking for a good sandwich in the Tech Center. What-A-Sub did not disappoint! I got here right before the rush, and maybe waited about a minute for my sandwich. I got the #40-Italian Roast Beef, on wheat with everything. The bread was fresh, and the toppings were delicious. I’m assuming the ‘everything’ includes magic, because it was good. Excellent customer service, and I can’t wait to be back to try another sandwich. **TIP– as mentioned before, it’s pretty nondescript, but go to the 5680 building in the Triad complex, head for the stairs and go down. If you’ve made it that far, you can’t miss it!

Dan the owner and food preparer is awesome. He is always good for a quick conversation about anything while you wait. Also the food is really awesome and portions are bigger than what you pay for. I am a big fan of the breakfast burrito smothered in green chili and jalapeños.

Menu is a bit overwhelming b/c there are so many choices, so plan on looking at a menu before you roll up to order. I landed on a full size roast beef, turkey, ham, and it was HUGE. I only ate half of it and I’m 6 – 1210lbs. Just what I was looking for in a close and value driven lunch option. I’ll definitely be back. I only knock a star off because he wasn’t using the panini grill or toaster he has right on the counter(they weren’t even on) and opted for the microwave instead. Come on man, don’t ruin that dagwood sandwich by skimping on the bread prep!

This is the best sandwich place in the tech center. I eat here all the time, and his chef salad is amazing! Nothing pretentious about the food or atmosphere, just great food with amazing value. Copies of the menu can be found all over my office building because it is so popular.

This place is a hidden gem. Dan is killing it. My colleague and I are having one new thing off his 66 item menu every week. Challenge Accepted.

Love this place! Quick and easy! Great menu selection and the food is always fresh and tastes yummy. Can be long lines at time but call a head orders are always welcomes and taken care of. I can just whisk in there and pick up and go. Everything from breakfast to lunch is sub-perb!

LOCATION: Address is actually the 5680 building, not 5660 – and the place is in the basement, nearly impossible to find if you don’t know to look for it there. I went, but there was a line and apparently only one worker actually making sandwiches, so after waiting 10 minutes with the line barely moving, I gave up. Which was a bummer, because I made quite an effort to find this place after discovering it in Unilocal(after one too many crappy sammies from the places near my office). So this review does not offer any feedback on the quality of the food. I only wanted to post the comment about the location to help future Unilocalers find the place, so they don’t waste 15 minutes looking for it like I did.(And for that reason I selected the number of stars equal to the current average, so as not to skew the rating.)

Excellent selection, excellent food, excellent service. You can’t get much better for a sandwich shop especially inside of a corporate building. So far I have had the turkey bacon sub along with the chicken salad sub. The chicken salad is exceptional and is made fresh daily. Definitely the best chicken salad I’ve had in quite some time. Prices are very reasonable and I will have no equivocation against going back again again or again.

So Good! I was happy to find an independent sandwich shop in our office park. I started the new job here and looked around for places to eat. What a sub showed up and had decent reviews so I thought I would check it out. The place is no-nonsense and affordable. the sandwiches are incredible! lines can be long at times. but that is just an indicator of a great place to grab lunch. Not really a place for sit down, but there are tables.

Just found this place in an office building after reading a review… I honestly feel like I’m giving away a trade secret or something! Seriously, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for in Colorado for 8 years… Coming from the East Coast(here we go, you’re all thinking) we had cheap, fast, GOODQUALITY, sub places EVERYWHERE. Here, they have all been replaced, either by upscale, overpriced, gourmet, imported, farm-to-table, chef prepared, blah blah blah places(that are fine for what they are sometimes, but just dont seem to curb the craving), or those chains that shall remain un-named, but probably use meat that came out of a vacuum sealed plastic bag… This place has all the key elements… Fresh sub rolls, stuffed FULL of any ingredients you want, a huge menu of sandwich options, oh and did I mention it’s a deal? 6 dollars got me a sandwich that I could only eat half of, and just FYI, I’m 6ft tall, 200 lbs. I’m not a serial Unilocaler, I’ve only created 2 reviews ever… 1 because I had the worst dining experience ever… and this time, I get to head in the opposite direction in reviewing a place that just blew my mind! My only concern regarding this place is having it so close to my office that I’m going to end up a complete fat-ass from eating their giant sandwiches every day lol!

This is a perfect example of why I love Unilocal.How else local folks will have heard of this place, I don’t know. Dan’s very friendly, fantastic customer service. The bread tasted fresh and was much more substantial than your chain sub shops. He’s got all sorts of breads, meats, cheeses, and can combine them into just about anything you want. He’s gotta have at least 50 different subs, and they all sounded tasty. I had the #15 which was a sort of italian, and it was fantastic. Prices are extremely reasonable, and I will definitely be frequenting them often here at my new job in the tech center.

Holy Value Batman! Seriously — Thanks for Phil H for doing the research I apparently could never do the entire two year period my office was within walking distance of this joint and finding me the best sandwich deal in maybe the entire world. I six buck combo containing a 6 inch sub, a bag of chips and a giant Xing Sweet Tea? Get completely out of town. Dudes at this place are killer nice and they blew through the sandwich making in record time. Also the menu has like 75 choices of sammies, which should quell the hunger of most folks. This place is buried in a non-descript business building in the DTC and you’ll miss it unless you hunt for it, but it’s safe to say that you can just follow the sound of my evil-sounding, victory laugh to find it now. Primetime.

This tiny little place is located inside one of the office and you pretty much have to hear about it from someone you work with. It’s always pretty packed and there is always a line, so you do have to be patient, but it is worth the wait. the owner, Dan, is the only one who works there, so he’s always super busy, but because he’s the only one, he can keep his prices ridiculously low. Seriously. The smothered breakfast burrito with bacon that I bought this morning only cost me $ 3.50! And it’s the size of an actual burrito. He makes all of the sammiches right there and he has one of the most varied ingredients list of any sub place I’ve ever seen. You can basically ask for anything on your sammich and you can get it. Don’t be put off if he doesn’t greet you right away, like I said he’s always slammed. He is incredibly nice and remembers everyone that comes in there. If he has a free moment, he’ll chat with you while he’s making your food. This is a much better deal than going out for some greasy McSomething. This is a guy, making damned good sammiches and breakfast stuff and selling it for awesomely low prices. Cheers, Dan!
