Sensational Subs

Georgia State University students need no introduction to this casual downtown sandwich spot. It sits off Edgewood surrounded by campus buildings and is a reliable place to grab a decent sub if you’re in the area. Colorful murals depicting downtown ATL liven up the walls lining the walkway to the order counter. While their soggy bland cheesesteaks leave room for improvement, the cold sub selections are solid. Our favorites (the Italian club and the American club) come heaped with meat and lettuce on your choice of a 7- or 14-inch white or wheat sub. Since it’s a big takeout operation, the dining area is never full, but the casual, relaxed atmosphere is ideal for students, city employees, or if you already paid for two-hour parking and want your meter’s worth.
