Great food and service. Thomas is a great, friendly guy who's always a pleasure to talk to.

Wanted to try this old school sub shop and it didn't disappoint. The sub was huge, very tasty and reminiscent of subs from the past. On a white bread bun more like a huge hotdog bun than a specialty bun found at Subway, but actually very good. It held together quite well even loaded with toppings. It was later on a Monday night so there was one other customer just leaving as I arrived and the friendly woman behind the counter quickly made my sub and was very generous with the toppings. She was very quick and had me out the door in about 5 mins. There are some booths if you wish to eat in. Overall the restaurant was very clean looking and bright. read more

I got another sub and I have to say, the new bread is such a let down. Its not as soft and fluffy as the old buns. They taste almost stale. Bellys: Please switch back!! read more

This is the first time I been to Belly Buster Submarines. The decor was basic and old fashion. I ordered a meatball submarine for takeout. It was pretty good, but not much better than a meatball submarine from Subway or Mr. Sub. Service was friendly and quick. Next time, I would rather order another like the bacon combo. read more

I ordered two 12" subs for dinner with the wife. Sub 1 - Tuna sub on white bread. The amount of tuna was fair however the dressing was MIA on the sub. But my wife loved the taste. Sub 2 - Double stack. I would compare the type of sub to Mr. Sub submarines. And I could not taste any difference in quality. However, the cost didn't make this sub worth it. The toppings were standard fair: shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, white onion, pickles, olives and peppers. Sub sauce but there is a decent variety of other sauces. I guess I find that I am a Subway guy and prefer their option to toast your sub. I do find that regardless the addition of a side chips or cookie and pop to be a waste of money. It was no different here. read more

Bacon combo sub was good. The bacon was crispy and there was quite a lot of it. There were also quite a lot of the cold cuts. The ingredients are of pretty good quality. The bread choices were only white and brown though. White was pretty soft but the bread had no character. The Belly Buster was pretty good. It had a good mix of good ingredients. The rib sub was ok - you can try it if you miss the McRib. The rib patty was ok but there wasn't enough BBQ sauce (it'd be soggy if there were more though). The pizza sub is cheese and onions, which sounded rather plain. Unfortunately if you get your sub heated up it goes in a microwave, not a panini press, so the bread doesn't crisp up nicely. Cookies and Cream milkshake was a bit thin and tasted a little odd. The straw was narrow so it clogged up sometimes. read more

Real old school Italian sub shop. I believe they have been here for over 25 years, family run. Fresh ingredients and friendly service. Better alternative to big chains sub shops, plus they are open very late. Reminds me of Archie comics jug head sub belly buster. Not many original establishments like this left in Toronto read more

I love love love Belly Busters, you get exactly what you pay for and there's no bullshit. Located on the busy intersection of yonge and yonge, don't be judging a book by its cover. This place hasn't been updated in years, probably when they first opened. This is a Toronto Icon in serving late night sandwiches. My go-to is the popular Turkey Bacon sandwich. If you're smart, you'll double the bacon. (Thank me later) Keep Eating, Angela read more

Belly Buster Submarines - Turkey Bacon and Love - Sandwiches Near Me - North York, Ontario

Belly's is always a reliable place to go for a sub. They don't put a lot of bells and whistles on their sandwiches but it's consistent. And good. There's pretty limited seating but most people take their sandwiches to go. I've eaten in a few times though and it always feels like home. The people who work there are always friendly. It is pretty small so if you're going at a busy time, don't expect to sit in (at least right away) I like how the decor has never changed since it opened. If you want a classic sub sandwich, this is your place. read more

great subs, open late except for Sundays and those just happen to be the days I'm starving for a sub lol!

Big sandwiches and delicious and fresh. It is my go to place for sub. It is clean and polite. Very effective on satisfactorily sub sandwich needs. Give 5 out of 5 read more

I would recommend a cheesesteak or roast beef sub :) great service! The environment is simple and friendly I felt safe ordering my food and having it there. Overall one of the best locations on Yonge for a quick bite on the go I would highly recommend to any lover of subs read more

This is the best sub in the business bar none ! I am obsessed with these tasty sandwiches go belly go !!!!

Many a hangover has been avoided thanks to a late night belly Buster BLT or bacon combo sub. Just go you thank me later! read more

Oh my. Forget about all the other sub chains in Toronto. This place is part of the city. It's classic. It's ohhh so delicious. This review will be short and sweet. Get the turkey bacon sub. The shredded lettuce is nice and fresh. The bacon is microwaved and yummy. The bread is always fresh. Mayo is spread on with a nice. It's homemade but special. They don't take credit cards unfortunately but they still deserve the 5 star rating What are you waiting for??!! Wish they still had the location up north but I never got around to trying it. Hope this stays open for years to come. Toronto wouldn't be the same without it. Oh and the decor. It's so old and outdated. It's perfect! Old school seats. Nasty colours everywhere. Please don't change belly busters. Keep being you. read more

Belly Buster Submarines - Turkey bacon. It's a MUST get. No questions asked. - Sandwiches Near Me - North York, Ontario

Ahh Bellies ... What can I say ... This place is simply the best sub shop in town. It doesn't matter if you're coming in late night slightly tipsy or stopping by for lunch, Bellies will always hit the spot. The bacon combo is where it's at. Expect to pay more than Subway but it's worth it. Oh ... And a head's up CASH ONLY. They do have a sketchy ATM though, and there is a Scotiabank across the street. I've been coming here since my high school days and will continue to do so as long as I am in Toronto. Cheers! read more

Been going here for years. great spot to grab a sub for lunch I work in the area often.

Great place for late night food, or even for lunch. Belly Busters is the go to for anybody wanting a late night bite ! They are really friendly, good selection of subs, and their veggies always extremely fresh. Our two subs we get is the Super Assorted and Turkey Bacon. This place hits it out of the ball park every time. All these years I wasted going to Subway or Mr. SUB is a disappointment, I experienced what a real sub should be here at Belly Busters. Key things: they do not skimp on the veggies or sauces. Very generous, loaded with meat, and always wrapped nicely and not sloppy or falling apart . Please dont waste time trying to find a place that won't satisfy you at 2am( nothing opens late in Toronto ) instead head over here to Bust your Belly with an amazing sub!!! They are always open till 230am and the workers are nice and will stay longer to let you eat too !!! read more

Ordered two subs online, belly buster and turkey bacon, but they only sent the belly buster. We never even got to try their legendary bacon and my wife and I had to share the one sub. How can you send half an order with a courier? I know it happens but it's pretty easy to count to 2. Belly buster comes with roast beef and salami, had to wait to try it to find out since there's no info online about what exactly the Belly Buster contains. Salami was meh, everything else was pretty standard. Honestly, I don't get the hype. I wouldn't reorder again just to get half the food I paid for. read more

Oh Belly's. I grew up explaining where I lived to every person I met by relating my distance from you. I have eaten so many of your turkey bacon subs over the years. Literally just up the hill from the house I grew up in, delicious amazing subs. I don't know what happens to make everything so good, but Michael S is right -there's something about hot bacon and mayo. read more

Belly Busters - serving great subs to the "North-Yonge Village" crowd since I was a kid. I even remember when they had Space Invaders! They replaced it with Defender, followed by Stargate, then Joust. I don't know which one is in there now. Pile 'em high sandwhiches made to order. Support your local independent business man - have a Belly Buster today! read more

I've long wondered just how the hell this place has stayed open in Yonge and Lawrence. I swear this neighbourhood is a death trap for restos. And it's a chi-chi hood at that, for a place threatening to bust one's belly. This is a yoga mommy, organic green juice, kids-with-15-hobbies kind of area. We finally went together, my husband convincing me after having eaten there several times throughout the past couple of decades. And you know, it was pretty good. Not miles better than Subway or anything, but they make a good milkshake and the sandwiches are alright. Not sure that the hygiene standards are 100% up to par, with the cash handling and everything, but hey, we gotta live on the edge sometimes, right? Meatball sub was good, the Belly Buster classic with gravy was kind of mediocre. Our car REALLY smelled like Belly Buster sandwiches for about a week, which you may find enticing or off-putting. read more

Turkey bacon with extra bacon....nuff said.:) Much better option than Mr. Sub and Subway. Only complaint is that they don't accept credit or debit. They do have a bank machine with an annoying service charge for using it. read more

Everytime I am north of Bloor I crave one of Belly Buster's subs. Possibly because I grew up eating them after a night on the town but the flavour is what keeps me coming back. I always order the Turkey Bacon or Bacon Combo sub. There is something about their microwaved bacon that makes it incredible! If you want barbecue sauce or green peppers they keep these hidden in the fridge so just ask. Don't expect any service, though the owner who is usually behind the counter is always friendly, but expect a simple well made submarine sandwich. There are some places to eat but again it is very basic interior. What more can I say, try this place for yourself and don't let the name scare you away! read more

My friends have been raving about bellybusters for years. I always thought "Subway" was good for subs... Until I ate here. The bread is amazing, the lettuce is better, the meat is way better, they put like 10ibs of bacon on the turkey bacon, and it's GOOD bacon... Not like the McDonald's bacon. The whole thing comes together to be the best sub I've ever had. It's the quality of the ingredients that makes it so good. Also, at subway you can't even see the ingredients in the sandwich.. It's all bread. At bellybusters that is not the case! The only thing that would make this a 5 star would be if they got more interesting toppings. Even jalapeño would make me happy :) read more

Best subs in the city by FAR! I usually get the cheese sub but I have gotten a bacon sub in the past and they're really just so tasty!!! The only bad thing about it is that it's closed on sunday!! noooooo. I want Bellys right now. read more

Great spot right on young's street! Great service and a good variety of subs. I went with the bacon combo which comes with turkey bacon, bacon and ham. I went with all dressed and I just say it is 10x better than subway! I definitely recommend this place! read more

Belly Buster had a prominent role in my last year of high school: I'd have a spare before lunch, pile into a car with a bunch of friends, and trek north to Belly's. We'd pass other lunch options, sure, but none could touch the following equation: Turkey, bacon, extra mayo. RECIPE FOR MAGIC. The place feels nostalgic for me, so I'll always be drawn back in for a sub when the craving hits. But for the uninitiated: it's worth a try. Shredded lettuce, soft bread, a slew of toppings, and a loyal following of Belly devotees. Belly Buster Submarines is in the business of: deliciousness. Yelp note: the M-F lunch/after-school rush can get hectic read more

Old school subs, the way Mr. Sub used to be, but since Subway and Quiznos hit the scene, Mr. Sub changed too much and not for the better IMHO. At Belly Buster's the buns are soft, white or whole wheat, and the toppings are simple - except for the famous "Belly Buster" which has gravy. Gravy! It is crazy how good the bacon is considering they cook in the microwave... but the have several to keep up with the demand... that is how popular bacon is there. The best part - they are open late every night, but be warned on weekends after the bars close, the place is swamped with local teens with the munchies! Cash only. read more

Memories! back in high school my friends and i used to driver over here to grab lunch, the place hasn't changed one bit : ) i always order the Bacon Combo but make sure you ask for GRAVY! that's a secret tip. what makes this sub so good? everything! all the small details they add. the bread is nice and soft, lettuce shredded, bacon super crispy, and the friendly service you get everytime. they always make you laugh or smile. Also what is so great are the toppings. Just ask for whatever you want because some toppings are hidden due to space, so don't be shy. can you tell i love this place? lol read more

Went there today, for the first time. I went with the 12" Bacon Combo - I added mayo and asked for gravy, as per the suggestion of many Yelp reviewers. I was quite impressed overall! Here are some key points: - The bread was soft, tasted fresh, nothing crazy which is perfectly fine - The ham and turkey were both great, but not as good as the... - Bacon! They put a ton of it, and it's not like other sub places where it's already cooked... here, they take uncooked bacon and microwave it right before they put it on your sub, and it's great stuff. - The mayo was very tasty (probably quite rich) and the gravy paired well with it - I like their lettuce. It's shredded VERY thin and therefore stays clumped together quite well, like a slaw. - I was very pleased with how clean it all was -- there was literally no mess, no sauce leaked out anywhere... contrast that to some subs from Quiznos, which while good, have been known to fall apart completely (pieces of chicken or various veggies falling out -- it has happened to me countless times) (We knew it was CASH ONLY, but I'm gonna add that here again just for others to note) As a side note, the prices quoted on their website aren't the same as in stores -- in fact, the in-store prices at this location were LOWER than the website's PDF, across the board! I guess the site's pricing is only for the downtown King Street location, but the Yonge location? Cheaper!! $7.05 for a 12" bacon combo, and my friend got the 12" gyro sub for only $5.95. - They put a ton of meat on his gyro sub -- he found it all delicious - He asked for mayo too, but the guy wisely told him to stick with just the tzatziki sauce that comes on that sub... my friend took that advice and didn't regret it! Friendly, quick, accurate, and with lots of choices -- and $13 for two very good and well assembled footlong subs? I'm fine with all that. We'll be going back. You can be sure of that. YUM! Edit: I went back and tried the gyro sub. I prefer the Bacon Combo, but it was still VERY good! No sub sauce, no mayo... just the tzatziki sauce. It paired well with it. I also love how late they're open. I was hungry at 11pm and boom, Belly Busters is there for me :) read more

Smells so weird in there. So weird. The staff was unenthused and the tables are wobbly and dirty. The sub tasted OK, but the guy used his bare hands to make it, so it kind of put a defined max on how much I could really enjoy it... I probably won't be back; something's fishy here that doesn't blend with my tastes... read more

This place is a classic... they are kinda ass holes but the food is worth it and that's kinda the deal u get

I'm surprised this place has so few reviews. Belly Busters has been around for as long as I can remember, but I only discovered it this summer. Since then, I'm at the shop at least once a week. These guys churn out a real nice sub. It's honest to goodness, simple subs. Nothing fancy, nothing unnecessary. Just great tasting, very fresh subs. You want a healthy but filling meal for under 10 dollars (with drink)? Look no further, this is the place to be. It's great food that while on the surface, may not seem so fantastic. It's proof that the food is much more than the individual ingredients. It's the combination of everything that makes it wonderful. These days when everyone is wild about gourmet, it's refreshing to go back to basics and have good wholesome sandwiches. These guys deliver! The boys there are always friendly, ultra efficient and have got this down to a science. You won't be disappointed with belly busters. read more

Yes. You end up just getting so use to Subway that you forget what a real submarine sandwich should taste like. The bread is soft and light. The toppings are fresh. The lettuce. Perfection. Bacon? Yes, please. The service is always wonderful and the prices are more than fair. It really is a great sub and they're open late on Fridays and Saturdays. Bacon. read more
