So, this used to be an ice cream shop. I'm so glad it's Pats submarines now!The food is great, fresh, and hot. There are tons of add ons: bacon, sauces, cheeses... it's the best chicken finger sub in the southtowns- idc. They know what they're doing! And inside, there's awesome sports paraphernalia, so cute, organized abd still clean! It was the gretzky photo for me! True 716 food, from a local buffalo fan, locals know.I want to try their fish fry next. And freek chicken souvlaki, cuz if they're executed as well as their subs, they're gunna be solid.Will deffinetly be back.Ps their soups are amazing too! The beef barley is on point.And the staff, a welcoming younger woman with red hair, was so professional and helpful with menu questions. If she didn't know, she asked. And she'd only been there a month?! She's going places w that work ethic and customer service skill.Parking: Parking our front and on the side, with ample free street parking for overflow.Kid-friendliness: Deffinetly kid friendly.

Lackawanna is my hometown.. This place has been family run since for decades! Pat the owner is FAN TAS TIC! He is super friendly and personable.. He always comes out to check on us and she how we are enjoying the food. The food is AMAZING! Everything is fresh, full of flavor, and delicious. Try the Stinger Sub or the Chicken Soulvaki sub.. my personal favorites. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

i would sell my soul for pat's subs. everytime we order they never miss. they season their meat so well and fry the fries perfectly so they're crispy but not greasy, good amount of dressing and toppings, and if you're anything like me and love greek, they load up so much feta like im taking a bite of heaven. cake pops are so cute and yummy too. i love pat's

Steak sub ($15) was pretty skimpy on meat . The photo makes it look not so bad but it was very lightly packed . There are so many places to get a sub like this in South Buff / Lackawanna , I’d say you could pass on this one. Taste and quality were decent the value was just poor .

Poor customer service from the owner. I arrived and asked if he had a time frame for an order pickup and he was very rude and said “when it’s read it’s ready”

Of all the places I've eaten at in the Southtowns this place has been far and above the best. But recently I've had a couple of subs. Turkey and bacon and Steak hoagie and have been dissatisfied with the size and quantity of meat on them. Please go back to the way you used to make our food! My neighbors have mentioned that food has not been the same! Alot of places after Covid raised their priced and cut back on quality, quantity! Stay better than the competition! You always have!!!

There French fries here are amazing! The Cajun Fish Fry was absolutely incredible. They serve a large portion of tartar sauce. Unlike other places where you have to pay for extra tartar sauce. The coleslaw was great and I don’t even like coleslaw! It was inexpensive as well. I only paid $14 for it! They gave me a large portion of golden crispy French fries and coleslaw. Other places I would have paid $20 or more for a small portion of tartar sauce, and two other sides. The new owner Patrick is very friendly and knows how to run the restaurant. A very professional and friendly man. Knowledgeable on how to make his customers happy. Great personality and nice person to chat with. The atmosphere here is incredible. It seems like the restaurant is very proud of Buffalo as they have a lot of Buffalo and Sports memorabilia inside the restaurant. Definitely a nice family-friendly restaurant to go to.
