6-inch subs start under $10 at this Main terminal Blimpie
In the Main terminal at Meadows Field (BFL), Blimpie: America’s Sub Shop covers the basics for anyone who wants something more substantial than a snack from the vending machines. It runs typical airport hours tied to flight schedules, usually opening ahead of the first morning departures and closing after the last evening flight. Expect the standard national-chain setup: order at the counter, watch your sandwich built, then grab a table or head back toward the gates with a wrapped sub in hand.
The menu sticks to familiar names: turkey and provolone, ham and Swiss, Italian cold cut, meatball parm, plus a veggie sub. A 6-inch cold sub usually prices under $10, with combos (chips and fountain drink) landing in the low teens depending on size. Hot subs cost a bit more, especially anything with extra cheese or double meat. If you want to keep things quick, stick to cold sandwiches; hot presses and toasted subs can add 3–5 minutes when there’s a line.
Portions run typical for a national sandwich chain: a 12-inch sub is big enough to replace a full meal before a 2–3 hour flight. You can add extras like bacon or avocado for an upcharge that’s usually in the $1–$2 range per item. Fountain drinks come in multiple sizes, and bottled options sit in a reach-in cooler near the register. If you’re counting on something simple, a turkey 6-inch with chips and a medium drink lands around the price of a fast-food combo in town.
Payment is standard: major credit cards are accepted, and tap-to-pay terminals sit at the single register. Seating sits just off the counter in the Main terminal, so you’re still a short walk from security and the small cluster of BFL gates. Practical move: order a cold 12-inch, eat half at the table, and wrap the other half for later in the day if you’ve got a tight connection out of Bakersfield.
