Longstanding Sub Shop serving the Matawan/Strathmore area. Friendly and accommodating staff and a clean store. This is the quintessential sub shop! It hits all the marks. The bread is one of the best sub rolls around and they put a generous amount of meat on the sub. Not many other places have remained consistent over the years like D.A. Subs has! Cash Only so be aware ahead of time. read more

Still very fresh, decent sized subs. Bread always fresh and since it's cash only, having an ATM is convenient. Only negative, amount of filling is not what it used to be. read more

They are Polite & great food , best local sub shop & breakfast place, they are also consistent with fresh ingredients ,.

**Unacceptable Customer Service Experience** I'm really disappointed by the customer service I received at this location today 4/16. I arrived 30 minutes before closing--plenty of time to be served--and was met with unprofessional and frankly rude behavior by one of the two young women working, specifically the blonde employee. After stating my order, I was met with sarcastic, witticism-filled remarks. Throughout the sandwich-making process, she continued with unnecessary comments, including saying, "After a 12-hour shift, I'm locking the doors," and began removing the blades as if to prepare for closing, all while we were still clearly in the middle of ordering. The entire experience felt incredibly unwelcoming and dismissive. This was especially surprising, as I've had pleasant, friendly service here in the past. I hope management addresses this behavior, because no customer should feel like an inconvenience for simply coming in during posted business hours. read more

The foods good and the prices are decent but the crew could smile a little more and be pleasant...

This was an excellent Italian sub. The bread was a little soft, but it didn't turn to mush with oil and vinegar and a 20 minute car ride, so that was great. Meats tasted good, fresh veggies, I was a big fan. Be warned- cash only, but I think my wife said there is an ATM there. This place is worth checking out. read more

Our family favorite. Been going here for years. Always a great and huge sub with all the right seasonings! We never go anywhere else for a sub! read more

It's one of those timeless no nonsense hole in the wall gems. Great value, quality ingredients, they never skimp and are consistent, these are the best Italian subs around. Great bread, fresh lettuce, cold cuts are sliced fresh for each sub. I always get the Italian sub w lettuce, hot peppers, banana peppers, oil, vinegar, and oregano. (For me no onions. Sometimes I get mayo) Great turkey sandwiches. Great for catering a party or a picnic. I've been going here for years and they don't disappoint. Whenever I visit home to see my family I always get these subs. They're great to take to the beach. All my family and friends love this place. read more

Best subs around for your money. Never disappoints and always great service! Cheesesteak is the go to

Although this sub shop is very good, the staff there are so unpleasant to deal with. I went there to get sandwiches for my family. When I ordered a cheesesteak sandwich the girl in the back of the kitchen goes omg another one. I'm a paying customer, If you don't want to do your job then simply don't work anywhere. It's the younger blonde lady that always seems to have an attitude every time no matter what you order. I stopped going there after I constantly don't feel welcomed or appreciated for even giving them business. Sometimes family owned businesses aren't any better than corporate. read more

Excellent Subs!!! Chicken Parm, Turkey Club with everything, and Hot Pastrami are our favorites.

I went yesterday to the spot and the lady's there and unfriendly I have been going there for years the owner the guy is pleasant it also seem like they cutback on the portion of meat on the sandwich I hope this is a isolated incident . I was told the owner works on the weekend I will visit then at least I will get better service and potential the original portion of meats. read more

Definitely one of the best sub shops around!! Worth the money.. never been disappointed

My wife and I stopped by Wednesday afternoon and picked 4 subs. One Tuna, an Italian, and two Philly Cheesesteak hot subs. All four subs were made to order from fresh ingredients and bread. All the subs were delicious! I believe this sub shop is better than Tasty Subs in Edison and is less expensive to boot. I highly recommend DA Subs!! read more

I went into DA Subs today to buy a sandwich and when it was done one of the ladies slid it across the counter to me without a bag. I was in total shock but still proceed to ask nicely for a bag but she had an attitude. I always use to purchase from this establishment but they have lost my business and will NOT recommend them to anyone. Both workers had nasty attitudes. I'll bring my business elsewhere. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED with the service! read more

They have an ATM now and their subs are better than ever. The owners are friendly and service is quick. It makes up for not being able to take credit/debit directly in the year 2024. read more

I love this place! Great sandwiches at a great price and family owned. Id highly recommend.

First time customer. Great subs! Good prices! Such nice staff! Definitely will be back.

DA Subs is the only place to get substantial, quality, delicious, perfectly made Pork Roll in the Matawan area. Confirmed. Consistently good breakfast sandwiches, wether it be pork roll, bacon, or whatever other meats you sickos want to put on a roll, DA does it right every single time. I would go here every single day if I had cash on me, but alas, they are cash only. And so I am forced to hunt around Matawan for comparable Pork at a comparable price, and nothing, absolutely nothing stacks up to DA. And they got subs too! Here's the scenario: you couldn't find time to sneak out of work and pick up some pork roll, and you somehow made it through your hangover, and now it's lunchtime and you're starving. The lightbulb goes off above your head and you're like, "simple solution! I gotta find me a nice, clean sub sandwich!" But Tastee Subs is too damn far, you'll never make it there and back in time for your lunch break. Enter DA Subs. The best kept secret in the high stakes world of sub sandwiches. Their subs are, honest to god, as good as Tastee was fifteen-twenty years ago. Currently better than Tastee. Now hold on, before you rage-quit on me and call me a heathen for even suggesting that there could be a better sub shop than Tastee, you need to admit something to yourself. You know as well as I do that Tastee has been slipping. For years. Slowly but surely, the quality and consistency has been declining. It's ok to admit it. I denied it for a long time. But now I recognize Tastee's wrongdoings, and I accept that DA Subs is the perfect replacement. You won't be disappointed. Just bring cash. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, because it isn't. The name is DA Subs and all I got was DA Shits. I've been to some bad spotss trust me I'm from Camden. This one takes the cake. Don't remember her name but whoever rang me up probably doesn't even work there. She could have been deaf I would have gotten better service. No class. Next time I'll try my luck at a 7/11. read more

The PEC-SPK is one of the best around and the 3A is killer. This is my go-to spot for a sub!

I've been hearing about D A Subs for a while with its great reviews. So I tried it out and it was pretty good. I'm very spoiled having been raised on Tastee Subs in Edison. Unfortunately NOTHING compares to them no matter how many places I've tried! However DA Subs were pretty darn close. Drawbacks were 1. Cash only option 2. Completely outdated menu online 3. Kind of limited menu choices. In any event I would return as Edison is a hike and DA's is minutes away and satisfies for a NJ SUB craving! read more

Great food, great employees and great prices! I have been coming here for years. They put a lot of meat on the sandwiches!

Update- decided to give this place another try. They were finally open. After opening my sub I noticed a large amount of mold on the provolone. I will never go to this this dump again and urge everyone else not to. If I could give a zero or negative stars I would. read more

D A Subs - a close up of a sandwich - Delis Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

One of my favorite places to stop to pick up a whole hero for a flight on a plane. I'm never disappointed. I would definitely recommend DA subs cash only my kind of business !! read more

As a cheesesteak professional this place enlightens me. The subs will consistently fill you up for a cheaper price then competitors, and despite the inner conditions of the establishment the succulent flavors enrich my mouth each time. The best way to achieve perfection at DA subs is to find something that's delicious every time you get it. I have been coming in for cheesesteaks and that only. Down the road is a place called mexitacos where I like to order just the chipotle Mayo and then order a cheesesteak at DA's. The combo is the perfect mix and the best of hundreds of cheesesteaks I've had. I recommend people try DA subs with an open perspective. read more

D A Subs - Cheesesteak - Delis Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

I wouldn't recommend this place to order anything!!! It's gross and poor quality!!!! The owner is a complete jerk!!! No customer service!! I don't prefer molded cheese in my sandwich!!!! Gross!!!!!!!! If I could put a minus star for a rating I would have!!!!! read more

I must have a sub from DA's at least twice a week!! I crave them!! And very friendly staff!

This place makes great subs, tremendous amount of meat with all of the toppings. Their #5 sub has ham, provolone, prosciutto, hard salami, and pepperoni. For $5 bucks and change! The bread in my opinion is just right, the meat is good quality, and you can have it topped your way with vinegar, oil, shredded lettuce, tomato, and onions. I'm a big eater and a half of one their subs is more than enough for me. A quarter of a sub is plenty for an average person. So a $5. sub can easily feed two people. The food is generally very good. But, many of the females that work there, especially the older one with long dark hair, have miserable attitudes. As if they hate their job. Sure, they say "have a nice day" but they grumpy as hell. They act like they are doing you a big favor. Even a cash tip doesn't get you a thank you or a smile. So I won't be bothered doing that anymore. I don't recommend going there in the late afternoon/early evening. They are cleaning, and their food handling and sanitation practices go down the tubes. For example, they will be spraying cleaning solution, or sweeping with gloves on, then they try making your food without hand washing or changing gloves. I called one girl out on that and she looked at me as if to say, "oh really - my cross contaminated hands aren't good enough for you?" Today, I was not happy with their food. It was their usual uninterested level of service, but with the obligatory "tip" bucket by the register. But more of a concern was their food handling practices - like putting an entire ham with no plastic wrapper right on the counter, the cleanliness of which was questionable. The lettuce on my sandwich had turned, and was mushy and tasted bad. I am really going to have to re-think continuing to give them more chances. They aren't getting better, the place is not clean enough, most of the employees have miserable demeanors. Down to three stars..... read more

Some of the best subs around. Service is great and the subs delicious! I can't recommend this place enough

HORRIBLE service. I'm from Jersey and when I'm visiting, I usually like to get a sub from this establishment. Service has always been subpar, but the subs are good, which normally keeps me coming back. Today was the worst. Called for 2 subs and immediately the girl says, in a rushed, annoyed voice, "that's gonna take like 25 to 30 minutes." I say that's fine and then I proceed to tell her I want two BLT subs. She then gets even more annoyed and says "oh, well we don't have enough bacon for that". Come to find out, my buddy said he's been told the same thing, the last few times he called. He now goes to ELI Bagels, up the street and they are way more accommodating and polite. I'm on my way to ELIs now and will never return to DAs again. Do they not realize that customers are what keeps their business open? If we stop coming, they stop. read more

Best subs around hands down. Going there for years. Pretty quick service too... .5 stars

Reliable subs spot. Bread is fresh and the staff is friendly. Reasonably priced and the subs are a decent size. They aren't cheap with the amount of meat they put on. I do believe this place is cash only though FYI. read more

D A Subs - Italian sub - Delis Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Best sandwiches I ever had. Bread is soft, they are very large. The people are nice. I drive from Freehold NJ just to get sandwich. listen to what you want on your order and get it right! Cheeseteaks are amazing!!!!! read more

This is my favorite sub place. I rave about the food to everyone & the prices aren't to bad! The amount of meat on the sandwiches is amazing so can't find a better sub place in NJ. The only thing is the staff isn't always the friendliest but I've come to get over that. I have been going to this place for years and won't stop going due the quality of food! read more

My family and I have been going here for as long as I can remember. This place is always consistent in terms of the amount of meat given and how good it tastes. read more

Cheap and good for you value. The subs are huge. They really pile up the meat on these things. The toppings are more limited than even your typical subway. The place needs fixing up. The place looks aged and had its hayday in the 90s. The counter's edge is cracked and needs fixing. The meat display needs a new light. There is just alot of fixing that needs to be done. They need to better up their hygiene. They have one dirty rag for everything. They even touch money with their gloves. My sandwich even tasted kinda dirty. The workers need to be more professional. They kid around and that is okay but they should try to clean up a bit and be more warm. They just look depressed all the time. read more

Yup! Get your sandwiches here! We picked up subs here before a fishing trip. Based off of a recommendation from a friend. When we set anchor, we tasted these subs which were packed with meat in addition to all our little substitutions. They've met all expectations. We will be back. read more

Love this place... Decided to stop in when I bring my disabled brother weekly to the sports collectibles store across the street. Subs are packed... I've tried the DA special... Italian.. and Eggplant parmesan... all excellent. Bread is nice, but I would prefer a whole wheat option.. everything is fresh... Staff is professional as there is usually a fast moving line. Thumbs up. read more

Love love love this place. Cold Subs are absolutely delicious. Lots of meat, good amount of cheese, and the toppings are always fresh.
