Rondo's Submarine Sandwiches

Literally the best and still are. Also the last of the classic Southie ran businesses left. Out of all the choices I recommend the tuna. I would bet it’s a number one if given the Pepsi challenge. Let alone gotta get a Log Father breakfast sub. Over easy eggs with all the meats on a massive sub roll.

Solid steak & cheese! Onion rings were basic frozen onion rings, nothing special.

if we ever leave Boston, this will be one of the gems we’ll miss the most. been coming here for years now and will always crave either a steak and cheese with hots and grilled onions, pastrami and cheese with the same, or their perfect eggplant sub. we love rondos not only for the incredible subs but also for the people behind the counter who have brought so much joy and kindness to us over the years! we love rondos forever!!

Subs are always phenomenal, and the owners are great! It's busy at lunch, but don't let that deter you, it's worth it! Support your local spot with a visit to Rondo's!

Just moved to Boston and I’ve already been here twice within the week (that’s how good it is). Best steak and cheese. Friendly staff , quick service.

Boston's best! Family owned and ran business. BEST CHEESESTEAK around, and will give you a real southie experience. Chicken salad is great, cheese steak wrap is my go to. Stop here for lunch, thank me later

Rondo’s is one of those rare places that perfectly combines old-school authenticity with outstanding food quality. From the moment you walk in, you get the sense this is a true neighborhood institution, run with care and pride. During my visit it seemed to be operated by an older mother and father along with their son, and that family atmosphere really shows through in the way they run the shop and interact with customers.

The quality of the food is excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with skill. Sandwiches are packed, hearty, and exactly what you want from a Southie classic. It is the kind of comfort food you’ll think about long after you leave.

The atmosphere is cool, lively, and bustling, with a mix of regulars and visitors alike. It does get very busy, and you should expect to wait, but the wait is absolutely worth it. In fact, seeing how many people are willing to line up here tells you all you need to know about the reputation and consistency of this place.

What sets Rondo’s apart is not only the food but the genuine character of the shop. It feels personal, welcoming, and full of tradition, something that is increasingly rare to find. For me, this is an absolute must-visit spot in Boston, the kind of place that embodies the local food culture better than any chain or polished modern restaurant could.

Overall, Rondo’s delivers exceptional food in a unique, family-run atmosphere that makes the experience memorable from start to finish. If you are in South Boston, make time to come here. It is busy, it is bustling, but it is absolutely worth every minute of waiting. A true Southie gem.

We stopped here for sandwiches to bring to the airport. It was hopping! It took probably 15 minutes to get our sandwiches, so I probably would call ahead if I was in a hurry. Lots of people came in with call in orders. The staff was very friendly, even if the ordering was sort of crazy - different workers taking orders from different spots. The sandwiches were generously sized, and the bread was fresh and delicious. We had a turkey and an Italian. They also had burgers and other non-sub options.
