Steak and cheese with everything is awesome. Italian steak -- adds marinara . Pepper steak -- adds green peppers . All fantastic.

Jenny

Cash only , toasted. Funny dynamic between the mom and her sons. All the sandwiches kind of taste the same if you get everything on them (mustard , vinegar, etc.), but it's a good taste.

Asha J

Cheese steak is delicious, as is the meatball . Medium was more than enough. May not look fancy on the outside but a great hidden gem . Nice, friendly service . Would definitely go back.

Serious Eats

The 'pepper steak ' is essentially a cheesesteak with grilled green peppers . Be sure to add their house made hot sauce .

Benson Bleier

Super delicious no frills sandwich spot . Would recommend if you're in the mood for a local potbelly's style sandwich . PSA -- they don't take cards!

Stephen Saribalis

The pepper steak is bomb, as is the house hot sauce . But I think Marina Subs and Sub Center has it beat. I'd come back though, for sure.

We liked the italian slightly more than the pastrami , both solid toasted sandwiches .

Pepper steak is a delicious sandwich , especially with extra cheese . The large is a great value .

Large size is huge, Italian combo is bomb! Great spot. Still cash only .

Make your Monday better by getting "The Works" burger at The Yellow Submarine. Heads up, it's cash only and also, don't go if you're one of those picky no onions , no dressing people. Read more

It's fine. Not sure what the hype is about. Fairly good sandwiches with a ton of stuff. Almost too much stuff.

Sam Weller

The guy told me he had been in business for 41 years. But the sandwiches are not spectacular. They are ok. I don't think that I will go back

Matt Chellew

No credit cards. Food was good, but not outstanding; the garlic fries were undercooked and had so much garlic I couldn't taste the sandwich anymore!

Enrout

The works, American, roast beef are yummy. Get the fries .

My fav is the Reuben with an Orangina.
