DiBella's Old Fashioned Submarines, Solon

A lunchtime staple for my colleagues, DiBella's does subs. Big subs. Don't make the mistake of ordering a large, thinking you're at Subway or something, because you'll have trouble finishing the sandwich. My first encounter with DiBella's was just like this, and the "holy smokes!" experience of a large sandwich is one to remember.

DiBella's sandwiches are big, and tasty. They are prepared to order, either cold or cooked on the grill, and are fantastic. I tend to stick with the hot turkey and ham, but their dagwood is nice, and I know their steak and cheese is very good. You can get a nice variety of chips to go with the sandwich (which comes on three kinds of bread) and the price is perhaps a little high, but I think it's good value. I have never left DiBella's hungry or thinking that I could have satisfied my sandwich urge anywhere else. Now, from time to time, I actually want a Subway melt, but that's different.
The only downside about DiBella's, aside from the price, is how busy it gets around lunchtime. The line is often literally out the door. I get in around 11:30 to get served and find a seat, and by the time I'm done, there are people waiting outside to get food. You can't argue with that.
Food: 4/5 (Really, really good subs.)
