a half eaten sandwich
Gladys C.

My son-in-law introduced me to Big John sub. Love it! Dr. Pepper pop it's not bad The service was very good. Smiling and very friendly. It feels a family-mode kinda thing If you go to Flint, Michigan, do stop by and check it out. You will be full and satisfied

Philly Chicken and Miss Vickie's chips
Kristin M.

Just amazing! I will drive from Livingston County to come here and eat. Either thru the drive thru or dine in, my meals have always been fast, fresh and more importantly correct! I usually order the Philly chicken without onion and it is always on point. My favorite hot sub shop by far!

This location has consistently been serving amazing food. I'm in love with their turkey sandwiches. The bread, red sauce and Italian dressing make it perfect. I've been coming to this location for over 20 years and will keep coming back!

Not one to give 3 stars... but, wasn't great. Now the staff- wonderful. Friendly, checked on us…read more But it was shift change, and we could feel the rush. I get it- past server, understandable. But when my side salad doesn't come out (when server asked if I wanted it first) and my friend's burger came without onions.. or pickles (she requested both) and cold fries... when it's a slow Monday, or lax nature tends to wane a bit. This was my first time, so willing to give it another shot but.. sadly, not too impressed.

We were here on a Thursday night. The restaurant was between 1/2 and 3/4 full when we were there,…read morebut there was not a wait. We ordered around 8:15 PM, a Cuban Crush and a Margherita Pizza, and got our food around 8:55 PM. Between the time we ordered and when we got our food, we did not see our server, Erica G. When we saw her 10 minutes after that, we let her know that some of our food came out cold. Her solution was to reheat the cold food or remake it. After being there around an hour, we really did not feel like staying, so we asked for neither. She sent her manager to talk to us. We did not catch his name, but he was wearing a University of Miami polo shirt. He offered the same solutions. When asked why we didn't have food for 45 minutes, he said a pizza can take up to 15 minutes to make and they were very busy. When I asked what he meant, the restaurant was not full, he asked if I wanted my food or not. I told him no, that I didn't really care for cold food and I was not sure if it was safe to eat. When I asked him that why we had not seen a server from the time we ordered until then, he said "What? Because your drink was empty or something?" At that point, I did not really want to argue over cold food and a waste of time, so we paid for our food and left. It was pretty disappointing to wait 40-45 minutes for cold food. It felt like our server went on break and no one covered for her, or noticed that some tables were going without service. I hope this is not what we should expect from Hamlin Pub. Hard to say if we will return. Picture of Margherita Pizza for posterity.

It is not just a sandwich shop, it is a sanctuary of sizzle, a monument to meat, and the keeper of my very soul. They lay thinly sliced ribeye upon a screaming hot grill, right before your weeping eyes, onto a roll so soft and pillowy, it holds the heavy burden of glorious steak juices like a protective mother. Then there is the red sauce. It is not a condiment. It is an awakening. A crimson wave of sweet, tangy ecstasy that breathes life into the steak. And the peppers! Those free banana peppers are bright yellow coins of hope, cutting through the rich darkness of the onion-kissed beef. And they have supernatural speed! You order. You hand over your money. Before the register can even click shut, a piping hot, heavy brick of butcher paper is thrust into your trembling hands. How? Is it magic? Is it a glitch in the matrix? Do not question it. Just accept the miracle. My doctor tells me to eat more salads, and they HAVE THOSE TOO! I got one today, the chicken salad with jalapeno ranch. I didn't even have this dream until Big John's told me to dream it. Look, you could go to a lot of different sandwich places in Flint, but seriously do yourself a favor and go here. Choose happiness. Choose Big John's.

I ordered the 6-inch steak and cheese combo with banana peppers & side of red sauce. The cashier was a bit rude but the service was fast, which I appreciated. The only downside was that my sandwich was lukewarm, almost cold when given. I didn't like that I had to reheat it, but overall 3.5ish/5.

I'm gonna give you the heads up, this is one of my hometown favorites…read more So it's fair to say, I am partial. The traditional Steak & Onion starts with thin sliced ribeye steak, mixed with onions, topped with mushrooms, and served with pepperoncini. You have the option of a red sauce too, but I honestly don't know what that is cuz I've never needed to add further enhancements to my Big John Steak & Onion sandwich. This location has been here since the 70's -possibly earlier. There are a few tables inside and there is an antiquated drive through area too. Drive through is so old it makes me chuckle. Guessing most recent updates are the price changes on the board outside. Hearty sandwiches, and they offer other options besides steak but my eyes never see those options cuz the traditional steak and onion is my favorite thing about Big John's. The staff has always been kind AND accommodating when I tell them I'd like to have a few to fly back with me to AZ. They pack everything separately, nice and neat.

have been a longtime fan since Clio rd store. but was getting disappointed with the sandwiches for…read moresome time. excessive salt. hard buns. substandard mea. once we even got some with a heavy, spicy cajon salt. so our purchases were getting few and far between. mainl just to remi me how much we loveed but no longer liked Big John's. that changed today. with what I hope will be a new normal. the sandwich's we got today reminded me of what I loved from long ago. other than the finer ground meat the soft bun and flavor were reminiscent of what we had come to expect and love

Maybe it's not fair to the competition. Well honestly,…read more there is no competition for Big Johns. Gimme a #6 and no one will get hurt. Why oh why hasn't someone brought a Big John's to where I live?! Why? They got coneys. Well, they try anyway. Big Johns does it up right. Thin sliced ribeye, and onions, cooked up nicely on the griddle. Cheese is an option, as well as mushrooms, peppers, their red sauce (this has never been on my list of must haves) too. And they have options ranging from 6" on up to an 18". Get it double meat if your hungry, you won't be disappointed. And they have a turkey sandwich too. I know, hard to imagine there are people that prefer something other than beef. So the food is really good. Unfortunately they only have Pepsi products. I can overlook this. Service is prompt, especially when they're not busy with a lunch or dinner rush. Ambiance is a simple dining area, nothing extravagant. Big John's is a long time favorite and I hope they are around for many more years to come.

Overall, pretty good! We stopped in during the big garage…read moresale weekend and the service was fast and accurate. We were surprised it wasn't busier, but I think we were ahead of the rush by just a bit. I wouldn't have been sad if my steak and cheese was a little less dry (ok, I'll just say it - a bit greasier!), but it was pretty great, regardless. The girl behind the counter made things a bit confusing by asking "sauce and peppers?" because it sounded like she was asking g about salt and pepper, rather than the red sauce or hot peppers. We will stop in again and again while passing through - Big John's is a favorite.
