Sharing great taste.
From our family to yours.
After opening in 2003, Chris took on an hour long commute to ensure that his family's business succeeded. A short time later, Chris and his wife Sue made the decision to move themselves and their three daughters Chelsea, Ashely and Holly to the westside of Michigan so they could focus on the restaurant. This sacrifice allowed Chris to act as a strong business owner without missing out on the precious moments of his young family’s life.
When business began to boom, Chris made sure that customer service was never sacrificed. After opening their third location, Boardwalk Subs was awarded the Celebrated Service award from Celebration Cinema. This award highlights our emphasis on making the customers the priority and always providing a great experience.
Today, we’ve grown into seven locations across the Greater Grand Rapids area with plans to continue expanding throughout West Michigan. Our goal is to provide family oriented, quality dining experiences in as many local communities as possible.
