Cheese steak was extremely soggy because of the excessive oil. The bun is straight out the wrap not even toasted or even have butter in it. I asked for extra meat and cheese and they bullshitted me. Soon as I saw it when I went to go pick it up I knew it it was too small, but let's see how it taste. I get home, opened it and already knew what it was gonna be. Barely any cheese long thick pieces of meat. The meat is not seasoned. I paid 16 dollars for this bogus sub, I had to add cheese and toast it myself. I don't know what the rest of their sandwiches taste like, but their claim that they have the best cheese steaks is laughable. read more

My wife and I called ahead since they were about 15 minutes until closing and we were told they would not close early. Got there 5 minutes later and ordered. Ordered the food and even though I had to get up and get my food on my own, I was expected to tip, so I left about 25%, got my food and sat down to eat quickly as a courtesy to the people getting ready to close. The food was not as good as I remembered and had less turkey than I expected. We sat at a table and used the paper that the sandwich was wrapped in to avoid making a mess and after walking out the door, the cashier that I tipped runs to the door and yells at me " get your Mother to teach you how to clean up after yourself". I guess I was supposed to bus the table myself AFTER TIPPING. It would have just involved grabbing the paper and finding a nearby trash can. The guy that opened this place many years ago was a nice and hard working guy who would often wipe off tables and visit with his happy customers since they were so busy back then, but I cant imagine he would have wanted to see his employees act this lazy and entitled. Not going to support a place where employees wait until they get a generous tip then yell at customers for not doing the job they are paid to do ( and tipped ). I guess the "friendly service" people dont work Sundays. read more

How the mighty have fallen. Disappointment every time I order. Make sure you order at the counter, as they'll make your sandwich in 5 seconds and call you back 30 minutes later saying it's done. What do you get? Soggy sandwich, cold and bland. (I ordered off doordash) read more

I have been coming to this wonderful place for 20 years. It still has the same great Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich!!! Thank you Delaware Subs!! read more

You know, I was really looking forward to eating at the Delaware Sub Shop. Jerry Sisemore endorses the place? Uhhhhh, me-thinks so. Then I got there, and there was like one employee trying to take care of everything, and just everything about the place is half-assed. It's almost like ownership just thinks they can be the boss and that alone is enough to make money. Entitled Boomer snowflake mentality. Just look at their menu online, for one thing it's weird that a philly cheesesteak show would sell an egg. Even weirder that their website is waiting for a description of an egg. read more

Delaware Subs - Cheesesteak with peppers - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

it tasted like salt. lettuce and salt. the portion sizes were great assuming you like salt.

Normally I don't give 5 stars. Ever. But I'm stuck in California and want a cheesesteak so badly I can't stand it. The bread, the meat, the cheese, and oh god the peppers. Sweet and hot, yea baby, more! Next time someone comes out here to visit I'm having them bring me one on the Nerd Bird. I usually get a large, eat half, then reheat the next half in the oven the next day. The locations where they have two for one days, I get TWO LARGES! That's four meals for $10 and I call that economical. Some coworkers just told me about a "great " place here, but they use cheesewhiz.. I don't know if I can get behind that. Besides, "great" in the Bay Area is only "passable" in Austin. I think they are happy when their food is sort of hot and doesn't have hair in it. read more

Delaware Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came here while in town to grab a quick bite. I ordered a grilled vegetable sandwich but requested no green peppers in it because I can only handle so much before breaking out(since I have an allergy to them) but instead I got one packed with all kinds of peppers, including green. When I took a few bites and realized, my friend offered to trade sandwiches so we did. The next day I called in for a refund request and they said they would get back to me as soon as possible and they are sorry. I never heard back. So , that's that. read more

Best Philly Cheesesteak in Austin. Better, in fact, than one I had in Philidelphia at Reading Market last year. Every ingredient in this sandwich is devine. From the toasty bread down to the hot and mild peppers, with onions and catsup laid down magnificently over the beef and cheese... On Thursday's you can get these on a 2 for one special. Doesn't need a huge review! It's that good. I've had their Italian Sub as well and they're great, but nothing in town can touch Delaware Subs in terms of the Philly! Except your mouth, of course... It's the best! Would be easy to dole out a 5 star review, but hey...It's just a sammich, right? Right? read more

I'm only giving a 2 based on previous experiences at this location only. The subs are great. They are on the expensive side, and service is super slow at lunch. I looked up their hours on Google, their own website, and their Facebook page. Facebook said 8, but the other listings said 7:30. No problem for getting there at 6:40, right? Nope. Closed. I had this same problem repeatedly at the Anderson Mill location before they closed and the owner left that petty note on the door. I also went one day last year to the Oak Hill location to find the them totally boarded up and closed while the website still listed the location. So, in summary, call before you go. Someday soon I expect even this location to close for good. read more

I had lunch here on Friday. Ordered the italian, cold sandwhich. it was ok. I wished it came with mustard instead of oil and vinegar - not b/c its not good but bc I ended up breaking out from the oil and vinegar in the sandwhich. I had to go back to work and wasn't in the position to stop somewhere to buy face soap. lesson learned. always carry something with you. with chips and an iced tea it was $11. and that was a small sub. eh. I could get a salad from thundercloud for less than $7. (before tax). But i've seen it before and always wanted to try it. next time i will have to try a salad and see how it goes :) read more

Sorry this is a really late review- back in 2015-I actually compare every philly cheesesteak sandwich that I go to ,to this place! No one has replicated this flavor. I wish they were still located next to seton. It's not the typical but I love it. With mushrooms, sweet peppers, onions, green peppers, all the condiments. So good! read more

So. Freaking. Amazing. Philly cheesesteak beats any other I've had and their cold subs with the sweet and/or hot peppers are to die for. Seriously go if you haven't been before read more

My favorite sub shop. Hoping they are working on cleaning the dining area up though soon, it's got archaic broken machines in the dining area. read more

In the day, this -was- the Go To place for East Coast subs in Austin. Really great subs & cheesesteaks at a fair price. On a recent visit, however, it seems the quality of the bread has dropped off. It's a smaller roll, not as good a crust, and more cakey than bready inside. So that changes the whole sandwich & what you're getting. Now, it's just comparable to a ThunderCloud sub but a couple bucks more. And it's easier to find a nearby ThunderCloud than drive to Deleware. I hope they bring back the original bread & get back to making the same quality sandwiches. Let me know if they do.... read more

Lol yall correct me if I'm wrong but I just ate a philly cheese steak out of a baguette. I thought an philly cheese steak would be on a flat bread traditionally but this looks like a Vietnamese banh mi inspired with meat, cheese and mushrooms on it. I mean it tasted okay but something about it is very very off. I can honestly make this sandwich at home. Not worth the money. read more

I tried again 2X on my recent trip to town. Why don't the guys pictured on the wall come back and revive this sandwich haven to what it used to be. I feel like a part of my soul dies ever time I come back to try. 2-quality 3-taste 2-price for value 1-dirty Poorly run. Used to be top 5 places 20 years ago. No longer. This sub is sinking. read more

Discovered this place about a year ago and couldn't have been happier, cheesesteaks were exactly what I'd been looking for years for, absolutely delicious!!! Only problem now is the new cook is burning the steak and doesn't understand what melted cheese means. He's ruining the sandwich, 3 out of the last four times there it was just very average, hope they find a better cook ASAP! read more

I stopped by here last night for take-out for the family and we all got cheesesteaks. There was one guy staffing the counter and cooking as well and he was nice enough, but had a hard time dealing with special requests. They have marinara sauce on several of their sandwiches. I asked if I could get marinara on my sandwich. Response: "I don't know how to ring that up." Another sandwich was ordered with cherry peppers and sweet peppers. Their response was to give us a couple of containers with the peppers in them because "We have people complain the sandwiches are too wet when we put them on." When you combine the odd service with the relatively bland meat and the skimpy portions of mushrooms, there's better options. Bluntly, my cheesesteak required copious amounts of ketchup and a generous shake of Italian seasoning to have any flavor whatsoever. For about $7 for a regular cheesesteak, you can do significantly better. read more

First time in and I was drawn in by the picture on Google. My sandwich was hot, fresh, and delicious. We come from South Austin, south of ABIA to eat and we will be back. Thank you! read more

I didn't know Delaware subs sold Philly cheesesteaks until last week. Since then I've been there twice and am so happy I found a place that serves great cheesesteaks. The large sandwiches are huge, easily over a foot. Will definitely be back. Also the employees and owner were very nice read more

Tried this location for the first time. It was a horrid experience. The menu is limited, they don't have guacamole spread, they don't have wheat bread, no black olives, and the staff wasn't paying attention to my order. Once my sub arrived, it was pretty good, but the dining experience overall was unacceptable. It was so different from what I've experienced at other Delaware Subs in Austin. read more

Great place for a Philly cheese steak. I recommend the double meat! Staff is friendly and courteous.

I am a usual customer here. I walked in a little flustered due to the fact that I always call in my orders and was hung up on today. Service was subpar and I was overcharged $8 on something the incompetent cashier thought I wanted. After today I will never be returning. Get your shit together please. Will be visiting the Anderson Mill location from now on read more

Delaware Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've lived most of my life in Delaware, and I have to say that their turkey sub is the real deal. I felt like I was back home for a minute! They also offer sweet peppers which is TERRIFIC (no banana peppers, though. Tut-tut!) The daily deals are reasonable as well. Despite that, it only gets three stars from me. While the store being run-down isn't something that particularly bothered me (a majority of the sub shops in my hometown look about the same), I could see how it would be off-putting. Also echoing other reviews, service is slow so expect to sit for a bit if you're ordering a hot item or more than one sandwich. And good luck finding parking if you arrive at lunch time. The biggest issue for me was the regular Philly cheesesteak being just plain weak. Dry, bland and not finely chopped. If you're from the greater Philadelphia area or Delmarva and are hunting for a cheesesteak, you'd be better off going to Jersey Mike's or even Pluckers for one. Also, no option for wheat bread on online orders. I haven't had an honest-to-god real sub in about seven years before visiting Delaware Subs. But between the slow service, lack of parking, and the disappointing cheesesteak, I really don't see myself visiting unless I'm already in that part of town. read more

My Sunday 2-for-1 cheesesteak plans were foiled yet but once again. Are there any other terms and conditions I should know about, "Delaware Subs"? I am 0 for 4 now on my last 4 attempts to get a 2-for-1 cheesesteak. Are you making this shit up as you go along? 1. While supplies last (oh, and wouldn't you know, we just ran out.) 2. Only during football season (don't know if this is inclusive or exclusive of playoffs, yet) 3. Only when the restaurant isn't burned down (you guys will do anything to not give me a discount, won't you?) 4. Only before 7pm on Sundays during football season (and now it's 7:03) You know what?? F you. That's what. You're on my "sucks ass" list, you weasely bastards. read more

Oh, remember yesterday when it was like a degree outside? Yeah. I needed something hot and stick-to-your-ribs. I ordered a half-size (7 in) hot eggplant parmigian sub with the works and it was the cure for what ailed me. I. ATE. THE. WHOLE. THING. Now, you may be saying to yourself, but how big can a 7 in half-size sub really be. Let's talk about the girth for a moment, becauase the thing was almost as wide as it was long. Dewd. You need this in your life. read more

I have been coming here since I was a young girl. I absolutely LOVE their cheesesteaks -- I haven't gotten anything else EVER. I was very sad when their other locations closed down. They have the best Phillies I've tasted. Their staff are friendly and have quick, quality service! Highly recommend eating at this local business. read more

If you enjoy supporting honest, local, small businesses like me, then this is the best sandwich shop to support in Austin. Delaware Subs is famous for their hot Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, but my favorite sandwich is the cold turkey and provolone with all the fixings (mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hot peppers, Italian oil and spice). They use high quality meats and ingredients, and slice all their meats fresh in-house. I have always experienced great service and delicious food at Delaware Subs. Today, the owner/manager went out of his way to help me with a large special order that I picked up and delivered to an office for a holiday "thank you" gift. He provided a great service to me and was extremely helpful. All the office workers loved the sandwiches! And, I love to SUPPORT this LOCAL BUSINESS! read more

Cheesesteak, Cheesesteak, Cheesesteak! (In the tune of 'toga' from Animal House) I am ashamed to say I have never stepped foot in this joint BUT I have been able to enjoy their Philly Cheesesteak not once, not twice but three glorious times. It has always been brought to me when I visit Austin and it has fast become one of my favorite aspects of visiting Austin. I would give it five stars but I haven't dined in the restaurant, which I feel is a big component when it comes to reviewing. The bread is lined with amazing white American cheese, packed with delicious sweet & spicy peppers, sauteed mushrooms and sliced rib-eye steak. I am drooling just thinking about how the perfectly melted cheese envelopes the perfect ratio of ingredients that constitute the inside of the sandwich. For the sake of being adventurous, next time I will branch out and try their Italian. And I think you should too! read more

OK, so awhile ago I figured out why their bread is hit-or-miss, but I've been forgetting to update this. If you ever have a Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia, you'll find that the ONE thing they agree on is that "real" cheesesteaks always come on rolls from the Amoroso Baking Company. ALWAYS. I've often wondered why Delaware's rolls are sometimes AMAZING, and sometimes a bit hard/dry (dare I say stale?); the reason, I've found out, is because they do, in fact, use Amoroso rolls. When they are fresh, they are amazing, but since they only get them in twice a week (as opposed to every day like you would if you were in Philly) then they are sometimes a bit dry. Still, I'm giving them that fifth star because I appreciate the effort. read more

I always forget about this place. I was in need of a quick lunch to bring back to my desk and I remembered this place all of the sudden. I headed out and got a Chicken Philly and it was quite good. There is nothing really to complain about with the food. The bread is warm and crispy, the meat was tender, and the grilled onions were excellent. I have had cold subs here too and they have been good as well, but the warm subs are definitely where it's at. The other kick-ass thing is that the specials are a hell of a deal. Some days you can get 'two-for-one' deals, and when a sandwich only costs you $5 that is an amazing bargin. Pros: Cheap Food, Tasty Food Cons: Small Place, Parking is Sparse read more

Well, I want to like this place. It's definitely over priced for the quality that you get. The owner was there and was kind of strange and made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I grew up in Round Rock eating at the owners former partners sub shop. And when I mentioned that he became ugly about it. Only slightly restrained himself from bashing his competitor. Which I don't think is good at all. Customer service and manners mean everything to me. This is just flat-out someone having bad manners. So let me just go ahead and say right this very second that the sub shop in Round Rock is 10 times better. Also a heck of a lot less expensive. The sandwich I got today was not worth the money I paid that's for sure. I'm also really not used to having to go to a cooler and grab a can of soda, I'm used to getting a fountain drink made for me by the person who takes my order and checks me out with a smile on his face and a nice conversation. None of which really happened today. I wasn't asked what size sub I wanted and received a large. I guess I just really didn't think about it until I walked out the door with a giant sandwich in my hand and having paid more than I wanted to for lunch. One thing I'll say that's positive about it as it's better than Subway. I think it's pretty obvious I won't return, which is unfortunate because they're basically right around the corner from where I work. I was thinking that the sandwiches at this shop should be pretty similar to the other one that I love dearly because they used to be partners and I thought the quality would be somewhat similar. Plus they won lots of awards so I'm not really sure how on earth it ended up the way it is now. Maybe the guy who gives out the food awards just doesn't have the same standards I have. (That sounds snooty doesn't it)I'll just go over to the Randall's or Subway the next time I forget my lunch. read more

Delaware Sub Shop has the best Philly Cheesesteaks in Austin. I wouldn't go there for anything else....... Unless I had to. My boyfriend spent years in Delaware and this is as close to AUTHENTIC as you are going to get...... I love the bread and the gooeyness of the steak and cheese and mushrooms and peppers...... I don't do the hot peppers unless i am in the mood for HEAT. I would rather taste the other ingredients. When you get the hot peppers all you taste is the heat. read more

I've been to Philadelphia and had their Philly Cheesesteaks, and I can honestly say that the (steak) Philly Cheesesteaks at Delaware Subs can hold its own. It's certainly the best one I've had in Austin. I like that Delaware toasts their buns and also adds grilled mushrooms and onions free of charge. My favorite way to devour their Philly is to add sweet peppers -- available for a small extra charge, and totally worth it. I debated between a 3-star and 4-star review for the following reasons: The food consistency is really hit or miss here. On a number of occasions, I've been wow'ed by the Philly. It was prepared perfectly. However, on a number of other occasions, the buns come out slightly over-toasted/charred and as other reviewers have mentioned, the onion/mushroom mix comes out black/charred, which really takes away from the taste of the Philly. I'm not sure if this has to do with a (lack of) cleaning or not adding new oil between rounds of grilling mushrooms and onions. The guys who work here are friendly. Pro Tip: Avoid the chicken philly cheesesteak unless you like mostly grilled mushrooms and onions and very little chicken. I've had it twice now, and each time, it barely has any chicken. Stick with the original Philly. read more

Amazing Philly cheesesteak! Haven't had one near this delicious in years! This thing is loaded with flavor and tender steak. Wonderful!
