Submarine sandwiches have gained universal acceptance since cold cuts replaced traditional fillings of rusty torpedoes, barnacles, and sea water. Celebrate a fresher flavor boat with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $14 worth of deli fare and drinks at Lenny's Sub Shop in Fredericksburg.

Lenny's is known across the United States for its premium deli meats that are sliced to order, homemade chicken- and tuna-salad subs, hearty portions, and signature hot-pepper relish concocted from diced cherry peppers. A regular-size sub is 7.5 inches long and roughly contains half a pound of meat and cheese while the larger versions are 15 inches and pack about a pound of protein, veggie vitamins, and the gift of eternal life between pieces of freshly baked bread. The menu boasts a full sandwich selection, which includes hot and cold 'wiches liberally loaded with slivers of juicy meat, such as the melty philly cheesesteak ($5.99 regular, $11.79 large) or the grilled half-pound hot dog ($4.49). Lenny's also offers salads ($6.19), kids' meals ($3.59), and cookies baked in-house to put a sweet finish on lunchtime hunger or lunchtime arguments about the philosophical implications of a Freaky Friday sequel.
