The meatball sub—a bun, loaded with a line of meaty spheres, drenched in marinara sauce and smothered in cheese. Sounds pretty simple, right?

Parking in the front of the shopping center can be a bit trying at times, but there is usually ample parking in the back—and it’s worth the extra effort for this meatball sub. Most days, you can find manager Kevin Sharpe preparing the succulent star of the sub by hand.

“Our meatballs are based on the owner’s family recipe. I’ve never counted, but we probably make several hundred of them in a week,” Sharpe said.
