Hungry Bear Sub Shop

Over 46 Years Of Hearty Sub Sandwiches Done Right

46 Years Strong For over 46 years, Hungry Bear Sub Shop has been the go-to for huge, fresh-to-order subs. What keeps folks coming back is simple: real food, done right, every single time. Big, Fresh, And Made To Order All our subs are huge, big enough to serve as two meals, and stacked on rolls baked fresh every day. Made to order and out fast, our quick service gets you in and on your way without the wait. Healthy Never Tasted So Good We take health seriously. Our chicken and steak are all natural, the steak is extremely lean, and the chicken is all white meat. That means a high serving of protein in every steak and chicken sub, over 40 grams, so you fill up on the good stuff.

How We Got Started

We opened in 2007 in a no-frills strip in Vista with a simple idea — build honest subs with real ingredients and treat every guest right. No gimmicks, no shortcuts, just food worth coming back for.

The Subs Say It All

Every sub here is built to overfill — regulars routinely split one sandwich into two meals. Our award-winning steak subs and honey mustard grilled chicken are made to order, every time, no exceptions.

Real Ingredients, Daily

We grill hormone-free chicken fresh in-house every day. Mom's egg salad and chicken salad are made from scratch — never from a bag.

The Owner's Behind the Counter

This is a family-run shop — the owner is right there, greeting guests and remembering names. That's not a policy; that's just how we run things.
