Looking for a spot to eat yesterday I headed across Maryland Parkway to the land of chain fast food. As I rounded the corner to a mega-chain store at the back of the parking lot sat Rebel Subs. Thinking that local flavor is often better than the banal corporate grub.

Entering the front of Rebel Subs it is clean and light. A news rack offers local alternative newspapers and provides a wide variety of reading materials to accompany the meal. A meatball sub with mozzarella was served up with a little too much tomato sauce. The sauce had a slightly uncooked flavor which is the only thing that took away from the experience. The plentiful seating was wide open on a Friday during summer break. It remains to be seen how plentiful seating is once the semester gets going.
