The food was amazing, a lot to choose from if you wanna keep it simple or get fancy/experimental. The staff is extremely friendly as well and helpful! In terms of atmosphere, what a vibe! The music is that punk rock metal, the old school arcade/video games, everything was amazing. Highly recommend!

First time ordering from Sub Culture.
Pastrami sandwich with mustard, coleslaw, and french fries.

I have to say the food was delicious. Customer service was excellent, and the hospitality was very nice. I would recommend to family and friends to visit this small takeout restaurant. I will visit again

I’ve been wanting to try Sub Culture for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did! With all the usual chain options out there—Subway, Jimmy John’s, Jersey Mike’s, etc.—this place absolutely blew my expectations away.

I had The Bullet, and wow—packed with ham, turkey, and some crazy-good bacon. Just a good old-fashioned, hearty sandwich done right, and at a fantastic price ($14).

The vibe is awesome—fun retro Mario games, cool movie posters, 80’s music, and a super friendly staff that makes you feel right at home.

I’ll definitely be back. Very, very good!

We stopped in on our way home from the city. The ladies working were so friendly. The place is a cool 90s throwback. We ordered our food and played retro video games while we waited. The food came out pretty quick. The pink panther shake was a fan favorite! As was the turkey sandwich, and the swiftie.

A little pricey, but a good spot! Excellent food, massive portions. We usually have half our sandwiches and save the rest for dinner or lunch the next day. Check it out if you have the chance!

I usually get The Bullet Club and it was as good as I remembered about a year ago. However, last time we came there was a cockroach dead on one of the seats and I gave them grace because I thought it was a one time thing as I didn’t see any other ones. Today, we went back and keeping that experience in mind we again, gave them grace. Upon walking in the service was great and they were super attentive and even allowed a modification to one of the sandwiches that we didn’t get last time. When we sat down we saw a huge cockroach that was still alive and moving. I’m talking about the length of an average thumb. If someone was up keeping the lobby, it most definitely would’ve been seen.

I didn’t budge for a refund as I should have, but this place really needs to keep up with cleaning and sweeping the lobby as I lost my appetite and broke apart my sandwich to make it seem like I ate it.

I love independent sandwich shops. This place takes time and effort to be their own entity and the menu shows it.

This place is great! A huge selection of delicious sandwiches from a very fun and creative menu. The vibe is very fun, with vintage movie posters and 3 game consoles set up to play. Oh, and the sandwiches are huuge!

Sub Culture is a hidden gem for movie buffs and sandwich lovers alike. The moment you step in, you're surrounded by a wall of nostalgia cult classic movie posters everywhere, from The Jerk and Big Lebowski to Pulp Fiction and Boyz n the Hood. The vibe is effortlessly cool, like stepping into a pop culture time capsule.

I ordered the Linkin Parm, a sausage parmesan sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious—hearty, flavorful, and super satisfying. I made a special request to spice up the sauce a bit, and they nailed it. Great food, great atmosphere, and solid service. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!
