Lenny’s Sub Shop

We eat here all the time. Best subs around. I think it’s because they slice the meat when you order the sandwich. Wouldn’t think it would make that big a different but it does. The owner’s are good people always treating folks right.
Love the relish.

I’m glad we decided to stop here. I saw the 2 star review and almost didn’t eat here, but then I thought what the heck let’s try it and man O man — these are the nicest people, they kept going out of their way to help us and the tuna salad was nom nom. and you get a free cookie if it’s your first time visiting!

We traveled to muscle shoals to take care of some music business and grabbed a groupon for Lenny’s sub shop advertising 1lb of meat on subs and fresh made. Sounded great! I looked it up and there were two in the area. We chose the one nearby and went in and ordered two subs and a large to go with chips drinks and the very good possibility of a couple more (if we liked them) to take on the road. We had a cooler ready specifically for this stop. We were told when we called that they open at 11:00 we arrived a bit after 10:30 and the sign stated they open at 10:30. We could have used this information as we were killing time waiting for them to open. We went in, the place is clean and we were greeted right away. After a moment of reviewing the menu we ordered. When we got to the register we were told we can only use one groupon (I ordered 3 subs, 2 to eat in and one to go for the other member of our group). The boy at the counter stared at my phone for a minute then clicked it open and relayed to the gentleman who I assume is the owner that we had groupons the owner said just let them use 2 because we were getting 3 subs. This is fine, I have NO issue spending money and this is not what this is about. He (owner) then came over, told me he doesn’t make any money on these and they are for the store down the way. I said «so I can’t use these»? He said «no» I chose to leave. Now if you calculate two regular subs compared to a large and the sides and drinks and whatever else we would have ordered for our ride, he missed out. To go from «you can use one, to two, to none» is bad business. I wanted to share so if you are traveling here amongst the millions of food places, remember how business is done here. I cancelled my Groupon and Lenny’s is off my list altogether.
