Over 33 years of excellence describes our Eastern-Style submarine sandwich concept. Our COUSINS SUBS niche is offering a quality submarine sandwich 25% larger than most of our competitors. Hot and cold subs are highlighted by our freshly baked bread, delicious soups and garden salads made to order!
