Greiner's Sub Shop-- Good, but Not as Good as It Could Be

I hadn't been to Greiner's Sub Shop, 2126 S. Shelby Street, for a couple of years, but a work colleague retired and bought into the place, so I thought I'd drop in.  I ordered two subs to go and an order of 3 stuffed bread sticks: two pepperoni and one sausage.  It all tasted reeeeally good, although I found the meat-to-bun ratio of the subs a little disappointing. The bread sticks were DA BOMB, though, just as I remembered them, and yet another colleague goes there often for the Italian Wedding Soup, when it's available.  It's a simply furnished but very homey kind of place, and doesn't seem to have changed much from the good old days. If  I get a little more meat the next time, I'll truly be happy there.  Mangia!

UPDATE, 08/25/15: I went there yesterday and got Jim's 1969 Hoagie sandwich, and it was great!  Pastrami and Genoa salami, lettuce tomato, cheese, oil and vinegar.  The meat was generously applied, this time!  The roll was big, but soft and a little sweet.  It was a very tasty, satisfying sandwich at a decent price.
