Inga's Subs & Salads

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Inga's Subs & Salads! This place is hands down my favorite sub or sandwich place of all time. I've been coming here before it was even called Inga's, a long time ago it was a Blimpie on State Street. Good thing they changed because Blimpie sucks now, and that name certainly doesn't do this place any justice.

I grew up being close family friends to the owners of this store and Mrs. Inga (owner) is probably one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She'll greet you every time with a, "Hey baby, how are you doing?" every time you enter the store... unless they're so busy that the line is out the door (happens a lot). It will certainly put a smile on your face when you walk in.

If you ever think about Subway or a Quiznos while you're around LSU's campus, you should say forget it and come here instead. Why you ask? Better ingredients, people, service and not to mention the freshness. Everything is sliced to order, or cooked to order if you decide to get one of their delicious steak or grilled chicken subs.

For me, what makes separates an average sub to a great one has GOT to be the bread. Inga's gets their bread delivered from a local bakery on the regular and it's absolutely delicious. I don't like my jaw to get sore from chewy bread like from *cough cough* Jimmy John's. And as great as their menu is, I've typically been ordering the same thing my entire life.

Inga's Best. It comes with ham, capicola, salami, pepperoni and cheese. All subs get the option of coming fully dressed if you wish, and your choice of white or wheat bread. This entails, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, oregano, oil and vinegar. I always get mine fully dressed with sweet and hot peppers (which they make themselves) and some Sriracha sauce. They cater to vegetarians as well, their veggie burger was voted as one of the best in the city!


What comes best with the Best!? Some chips! And they have to be Zapp's. Eating these awesome chips from Gramercy, LA only makes the experience better.            


You can get the regular 7" sub with a bag of chips for just a hairline over 6 dollars. Not bad at all. Don't start with the stupid 5 dollar foot-long, they don't even compare!

Inga's has been catering to the LSU community for as long as I can remember. They feed almost all the athletes and staff at some point in the year, probably why LSU Athletics are so dominant.

So, if you want a delicious sandwich... go to Inga's, you wont be disappointed. Also, if you happen to be downtown around lunch time Faye's is virtually the same thing, it's also owned within the same family.

                       
*Note* If you decide to pay a visit while school is in session, this place turns into a zoo during lunch time. Don't worry, they work really fast. You can also call in ahead if you're short on time.
