Meaning you can always count on the friendly staff, especially the weekend crew, to serve up quality food without any hassle.
STACK Subs

This Lakewood sandwich shop is serving up toasted subs with fresh meats and toppings, operating like Quiznos. The service is friendly and fast, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

The prices are fair for the high-quality food, making it a solid choice for lunch.

The restaurant is also kid-friendly and has wheelchair accessibility, although it may be limited if the place is crowded. Although some suggest that the space could be cleaner and have better decor, the service remains consistently good.

Jersey Mike’s Subs
$ | (303) 274-7912 | WEBSITE

Firehouse Subs Belmar
$ | (303) 934-1552 | WEBSITE
We know it’s tough to keep track of every new spot popping up in a suburban strip mall. But let us tell you about the standout sandwich shop at Firehouse Subs Belmar. This place consistently delivers fantastic subs with friendly, helpful service that makes you feel right at home.
Grab some buddies and try the Hook and Ladder or the Firehouse Meatball sub—the special bread holds everything together perfectly, and that Turkey Bacon Ranch had us texting friends mid-bite saying ‘you need to get here.’ The gluten-free bread is excellent, and David’s warm, inviting presence shows real pride in the work. If you want to make it a full outing, the free parking and efficient call-ahead ordering mean you can swing by without hassle.
Our only note: maybe add some background music to make the space feel even more welcoming.

Jimmy John’s in Lakewood – one of our favorite sandwich spots in town – reopened for the first time since their recent renovation.
