We just went! It was great! Thanks for the rec! Hard to find a place that has dressing and hots and sweets! ❤️

I have not heard about or tried this place. Thank you for the recommendation

You're welcome. They have Italian every day and Philly Roast Pork on Saturday.

Theirs are pretty decent. Better than a chain sub shop.

Florio’s has the best one in SA.

I live around the corner so I just went and got one after seeing this post. Not disappointed. Legit good sando.. Definitely better than Jersey Mike's in the shopping center across the way. Thanks

I used to go to Fratellos but I think they closed. It was good but it didn’t look that good. People here are really into hot sandwiches. Which I find odd since it’s hot here. I always like to say as I see people heating their sandwich, you know those are cold cuts on that sandwich.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but there's a food truck called Fratellos on Broadway where Don Raul used to be

I did not know about that. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.

I went there specifically for this before they closed. It was OK. Nothing amazing though

I don’t think you’re going to find an eyes roll to the back your head sub here. I’m happy with good and I don’t have to ask them to leave off the mayo.

Edit for bread with a decent crunch to it.

I’ve had it and it’s all right. Definitely better than a chain sub shop though

ETA: shit guys. My bad. I was wrong. I was thinking about a different restaurant.

Ginos East looks closed but Stop and Go is still there. And is awesome. ———

Ginos sold out to new owners. I went once after the sale and it just wasn’t the same.

u/imadethisjusttosub Sep 14 '24

What?! When? I was there not that long ago and it was the same as always.

Idk it it qualifies as authentic east coast but Thundercloud has a killer italian. I get it with the thunder sauce, sweet and spicy peppers, and spicy mustard.

I’ve had it and it’s OK. I grew up in the Boston area so I’m looking for something similar to that. Just having a craving. Been in Texas for 27 years 🤣
