Royal Grinders

The first thing that I should mention is how fascinating the signs on the walls in the store are. It gives a super local-owned, personal vibe which was just cool to see. It's a really small shop, with a few seats for sitting in but mostly for takeout I had the Italian Grinder, which comes with the same base ingredients as all their other sandwiches but includes pepperoni, salami, and smoked ham. I think I have to mention the bread in this sandwich first. This was phenomenal. The softness of the inside was just crazy; I don't know if I've had softer bread on the inside of a sandwich before. When bread melts in your mouth, that's when you have to step back and reconsider what is possible. The outside was good - but I would've liked it a little crispier - it kind of felt like it was going f

I am never disappointed by any sandwich I get here. Definitely my favorite sandwich place in Seattle. Not sure what to say specifically since I’ve tried all their sandwiches. All very flavorful and never too dry or moist. Only complaint is that the opening hours/days seem inconsistent throughout the years I’ve been going.

Very local, casual feel to this sandwich joint. Most sandwiches are priced at $15 which is fair for how delicious and filling they are. We ordered the Italian Grinder and Royal Grinder (pictured). The seasoned bread was polarizing - quality of the bread was high, but the taste was somewhere between “well-spiced” and “cheap breadstick”. But didn’t impact the quality of the sub overall.

This is one of the best sandwiches I’ve EVER had! I had the Italian, no tomato’s no olives no onions, with cucumbers and pickles 😮‍💨👌 INSANE! I’m glad I took it to go, because I turned into a feral hungry goblin eating the whole sandwich in under 30 seconds. If you are around, this is THE sandwich place. It’s worth the wait. Huge shoutout to the employees working there, especially the register lady, she was so kind and helpful and made the amazing recommendation to sub the ham with the smoked turkey and I’m literally in heaven. She deserves the world. — A hungry sandwich lover

Toasted subs on garlic bread?? Yes please! This little shop is hidden in the very corner of an open plaza, behind the big Lennon statue in Freemont, so it might be easy to miss at first. It does take a little time for them to prepare your sandwich, which they're very up front with (I think it was about 5-8 minutes for me when the shop is empty). But it's totally worth it. Staff is fantastic, friendly and helpful. Pictured here is my favorite, the Itallian. The bread is so warm and fluffy. The crust is firm but not tough or hard to chew and brushed with garlic butter. I always get my sandwich to go, though they do have outdoor seating in addition to their bar style counter inside. They always wrap it up nice and in foil so it's usually still nice and hot when I get home. Water is comp
