JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 If you\u2019ve grown up in the Southeast, you know Publix is a staple for more than just groceries.<\/p>\n
The subs and wraps made fresh to order in the Publix Deli are a go-to for many — whether it\u2019s time for lunch, dinner or a midday snack.<\/p>\n
That might be why Publix Subs earned the title of best sandwich shop\/deli in the Jacksonville area in our 2025 JaxBest contest, beating out finalists:<\/p>\n
Angie\u2019s Subs<\/p>\n
Hollywood Heroes and Subs<\/p>\n
Seitanic JAX<\/p>\n
All four were nominated by our News4JAX Insiders, who then picked their favorite from the Top 4 to crown best sub in town.<\/p>\n
But do you know how to order a perfect Pub Sub?<\/p>\n
According to Southern Living<\/a>, it\u2019s all about the order of your order:<\/p>\n Start with bread, of course<\/p>\n Then have them slather on the mayo or other condiments of choice<\/p>\n Next, go for the cheese and then the meat<\/p>\n Then pick out all your favorite veggies<\/p>\n And here\u2019s the key: Have them add the Oil and Vinegar and THEN the salt (it helps the salt stick and season your veggies!)<\/p>\n And you can request your sub to be cut into any size you wish. The pieces get wrapped individually, which can make it easier to share!<\/p>\n Allrecipes.com<\/a> says the top subs are the Italian, the Chicken Cordon Bleu and the Chicken Tenders Sub.<\/p>\n But what\u2019s your favorite?
