Best hoagie in town!

If you know what a Laspada's Original Hoagie is in Broward County then you know that it's the best sub in South Florida.
Now there's Padrino's Original Hoagie in Stuart which is a family spin off of Laspada's and easily as good.
Check it out, they're next to the Lowe's in south Stuart on US1.

    The best gyros and subs I've had was at a small shop at the corner of Sample and 441, I think the name was steak and deli or something like that. Best cheese steak I've ever had in Florida, hands down everything fresh and they make this wine sauce to go with it, GREEEEAAAT!

    Best Philly Cheesesteak in Florida is at Swifty's Market in Boca.

    sounds like a whole lot of yankee talk up there.

    I have been at Padrino's and it is just as good as Laspadas but they do give you an option to toast the sub.

    One of my favorite sub shops is Lou's on Dixie between Atlantic and Copans. Just North of the GoodYear Blimp in Pompano.
    It works 60% of the time all the time......

    Maybe I'm a rookie, but I like Firehouse cheese steak loaded.

    How about Vince's on Congress by the airport. Sub King on Broadway (closed) and how about Royal's back by North Shore High School!

    Guess there's always Russo's, and I remember Big Fig's on Dixie in Lake Worth...some of my favorites Of course Figs and Sub King are gone..

    No, that one is pretty good. But the next time you find yourself in Boca, call me and I'll meet you at Swifty's for the best one.

    If not better. God, I miss Gracie's.
  • TriplewrapTriplewrap Posts: 173 Deckhand
    Tell me.. She put dill relish on the hoagies with that chopped pepper relish... Made a huge difference..

    Is Swifty's on the NW corner in that small strip ?? Or over where Wuvs used to be ?? Or is that a Law Office now...
    I drove around Boca a couple of times recently, ate at Fran's Chicken Haven (terrible),

    Lots of memories. I wanna try LaSpadas.. Store off University was so good.. Huge sub..

    I will tell you that Sandwich Man on Atlantic and Congress, Delray, has superb hoagies.. Try a Michelangelo all the way.. Very nice, and not $$. 7 bucks to fill an empty tank.

    The best Hoagie in town is a Russo's Sub. Just had one today on the way home from fishing with the kids!
    Just being right ain't always enough.

    The closest steak sandwich to one from Philly is Big Als in Boynton Beach and downtown Delray.
    The bread which is part of the taste is brought down from Philly. ( Almost like Pats in Philly. )
    They even sell Tasty Kake fruit pies.( You Philly guys know what they are. )

    We were just at Laspada's yesterday! They opened a new location off of SE 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale, but we went to the original one on University. So yummi!
  • OdysseasOdysseas Posts: 54 Deckhand
    Swifty's is as good as Grace's was, however, I have seen things in there...I'll just leave it at that. But it is good, there's no arguing that.

    I eat at Vinces on Congress at least once a week and Russos almost every Saturday. Russos on Saturday is a family tradition going back at least 40 years.
  • oldtimeroldtimer Posts: 530 Officer
    Padrinos is good value and taste for the money. If it had an amorasano roll it would be right up there with a chinks.....

    NE Philly spot.
  • sam50sam50 Posts: 499 Officer
    Vince's subs are maybe the best I've had from broward to palm beaches. However there a restaurant in Margate (atlantic and Rock Island called Roosters) that has the best cheese steaks around, original Chicago owners, and yes I've had Swifty which was good but not the same.

    For all us dumb Southerners, please give us your Yankee definition of the different long bread "meal" made so popular by the Earl of Sandwich...

    You grinder, you brought er
    I was not born stupid, just had lots of practice
  • repairrepair Posts: 208 Deckhand
    Sub and hoagie are the same just depends where they are from.
    A true grinder the roll is first toasted then the stuff is put in.
    And you NEVER EVER use mayo in the sandwich its a oil, vinegar, mix with some oregano.
    Also the only type of cheese is an Italian type never american or swiss.
    Ambroshia is the roll of choice.
    I have to admit I am a FISHAHOLIC.

    Sandwich Man in Delray makes a great italian sub called the "Michael Angelo". It's right up there with Laspoda's Italian Special.

    "Hero" in NY - probably from the Greek "gyro" sandwich

    And the best Italian sub I've had in SoFla is at V & S Italian Deli on Federal and 26th.
    Get it on the "hard bread".

    Laspoda's is good. V&S in Boca is absolutely better. Nuevo is correct.

    Haven't been to a lot of the ones posted in this thread, but D'Best Sandwich shop on Dixie just north of Yamato makes a **** fine sub.

    I watched a guy order a Micheal Angelo one day and he asked for Mayo, the girl behind the counter said "No way in hell are we putting Mayo on an Italian"!! :Spittingcoffee

    That place is awesome!

    Oh man...I am seriously craving a V&S Italian now! :Agree

    You guys that love a good cheesesteak on an "Amoroso" roll really need to check out http://www.directfromphilly.com/ in Deerfield.

    And if Mitch recommend's Swifty's, you can bet I'll be giving it a shot real soon!
