First time trying GoldCoast Subs. I ordered the Gobbler (Turkey) and honestly, the sandwich was amazing. The only thing lacking was the size of the meat portion. Overall though a great sandwich with great taste. The girl working the counter was polite, prompt and extremely quick. I love the overall vibe of the entire restaurant. read more

I've got nothing wrong with the service and the politeness of the new people who run the Gold Coast subs but the way their food and subs taste lately has depressed me. I normally always get a roast beef heffer sub. They are known to have their own oils and taste great normally and two days before this I had actually had suburpia subs. And I know that those subs tasted awesome to me, but this time around I had bought three. Heffers I could tell that I had gotten less meat and there was barely any oil and the sandwich was mostly onions. No, I have no problem with onions, but that was a huge amount of onions and I know when I've been cheated out of meat normally they load it. I barely tasted the beef. I probably won't be returning for a while. They used to be good. read more

Oh my goodness their subs are just amazing. The heifer is the best. But no lettuce lol. The owner Josh is just such a wonderful person. An amazing young man. I had to junk my car so I don't really get to go there right now. But if I could I'd go a couple times a week. I love all the decorations on the inside of that place. The Big trees in there really need to get repotted though lol. I definitely recommend everybody try this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Friendly service and great subs. Plenty of seating. Sandwiches prepared quickly. Good prices. This local institution passed down to the next generation is clearly in good hand! Highly recommend. read more

You cannot beat the price. The sandwich had a "tougher" Italian bread that made the sub more durable to hold everything together. It was a "classic" sub, without all the extra fancy toppings and sauces other places have, served in a plastic bag. I liked how the onions and tomatoes tasted like they were marinated with the oil and seasoning. I personally would have like bread that was a little softer when biting into, but also understand because of the oil it's prepared with. The lady at the counter was pretty quiet. Didn't have much of an opinion about anything on the menu. The place had many people waiting in the dining room but the food was prepared quickly so everyone was in and out quickly. This is a perfect sub to pack in a cooler to eat at a later time as well. read more

GoldCoast Subs - Original gobbler - Sandwiches Near Me - Greenfield, Wisconsin

While my Goldcoast sub was very tasty and the location is convenient to me, I still prefer Suburpia for many reasons. Suburpia has: 1) Better Hours-especially if you work during the day, closing at 7PM is a bit early. I have come there when they have decided to close early for family reasons...not cool, get someone to cover. 2) Better selection of Subs: I prefer the Corn Beef Sub that GoldCoast doesn't have. Yes, they Have Roast Beef but Suburpia has Both along with many other including hot subs. 3) Prices! The Pentagon Club is $9.20 compared to the WhiteHouse at Suburpia for $7.99 and Goldust $7.99 vs GoldCoast $7.49 (both ham subs). 4) Better Dine in experience: Suburpia has Fountain Soda available where GoldCoast has only cans/bottles available. While some people complain about the dressing being too salty, I have not had that problem, and the bread is always fresh. Give them both a try and decide for yourself! read more

Used to buy subs about once a week at the West Allis location. They closed so now its out to Greenfield. Nice and clean appearance. Every time I visit the price has increased. I like to mix it up, Suburbia vs Goldcoast. This last visit was it for me. Not worth the drive anymore. Sandwiches are good, maybe a little smaller. The thing that killed it for me.....extra OIL and extra onions. $1.00 EACH . C'mon man, a buck for some oil and a dollar for 10 cents worth of onions. NO WAY. When greed takes over I call it quits. read more

The quality seems to have changed slightly. We used to really love coming here but the last two times we hardly had any toppings, especially meat. It felt like we were getting half of what we used to. We thought maybe it was a fluke so we tried one more time, and it was the same thing. Unfortunately, haven't been back in a while. read more

My favorite sub sandwich place! Better than all the chain sub places and locally owned! The menu hasn't changed in years but I'm glad my favorites are still there - Gold Coast, the Gobbler, It's me Charlie, King Creole! I love the seasoning and oils on the subs. The bread is amazingly fresh. They have a nice selection of kettle cooked chips too! Highly recommend you visit this location and support this local business. read more

Gold Coast Subs are classic Milwaukee. They were started as an underdog story and today they are still an underdog story. You are guaranteed a delicious sandwich each and every time. These will easily become your favorite subs . However, you will always have one major problem every time you go to Gold Coast Subs... and that is trying to figure out which sub you want. But you can do what I do... I choose one and I stick to it because I don't want to face that problem. Pentagon club is the way to go lol. If you want to have a true Milwaukee food experience, then be sure to stop in. You will love it and then you'll be back and then you'll face that problem each and every time, but with a smile on your face and delicious food in your belly. read more

Hey Josh. I just read your response and do not feel the unprofessional comment is warranted what so ever. Never did your employee explain to me an up charge. It was only after she rang me up and told it was fine and then went in the back that then I was explained of this up charge. No sign that states no subsitutions. So I pay for my meal..... then am told I have to pay an additional amount with a pretty suspect reason. My suggestion would be to train your staff on how properly answer questions. I'm sure any other owner of a business would tell you to Train your employees to give your customers all the information. Not have them pay then tell them they owe more and then tell them they are unprofessional. Please look in the big picture if you want to be successful. read more

Much like my review, for what I'm assuming is one of their biggest competitors, Suburpia, I read about what awesome subs Goldcoast has on a Facebook group I'm part of. After trying Suburpia, I just HAD to drive down the street to hit up Goldcoast and try their roast beef sub. It was delicious!! Goldcoast definitely is the winner in the bread department. I didn't much care for the very few diced tomatoes I had. I love tomatoes so had I thought of it, I would have asked for extra had I known. Still a very good dandy and so glad I decided to try it. It's quite the drive for me so if I ever find myself in the area again, I'm sure I'll hit it up! read more

Delicious sandwich, the staff were nice and they prepared my order quick. Would definitely recommend!

Ordered the Pentagon, it was delicious. Wonderfully chewy roll plenty on ham and turkey and the special seasoning is amazing. The store is very clean, service was fast. Will definitely be back. read more

Best subs in Milwaukee. I grew up going to their old location on 27th across the street from Toys R Us. I love this location on Layton because it's so close to Mom's. The turkey gobbler is my favorite. One thing to know, in order not to make a mess, do not remove the sub from the bag! Hold it in the bag, peeling back the bag as you eat it. It's really the only way to eat a Goldcoast sub. The secret to these suns has got to be the special dressing they use. It's so good. The bread is also always fresh. This is my go to when I call my mom and tell her I'm coming over and she wants me to bring lunch or dinner. So affordable too. read more

GoldCoast Subs - Peel the bag back as you eat the sub. - Sandwiches Near Me - Greenfield, Wisconsin

The reason it took me forever to get to this Milwaukee classic is the menu, I'm a die hard Italian sub guy and they don't have anything even close. My first lunch plans of a Mediterranean type place fell through fast because the first was not open until 5pm when Yelp said 2pm and its 2 when I went, my second attempt was the Dera Pakistani Grill on Yelp, closed years ago and no one reported it to Yelp. Back to Yelp and see where else I can be directed to for a waste of time, I think Gold Coast is still open so off I was. Jack pot, the window has an open sign so I pulled in. The place had only two people in it so I'm wondering if it's any good but I'm here and I'm getting one, the Pentagon club sounded good until I realized it's a club with out bacon in it but I got it anyway. The place was like a restaurant in search of an identity with how it was decorated, it just screams super boring with the cheap tables/chairs etc. The lady was nice who helped me and my sandwich was ready in no time. When I pulled my sandwich from the brown paper bag I saw instantly that this is exactly like another sandwich place in town where it's a mess that you have to eat from the bag and sure enough there is a secret spice dusting also that I saw. Who is copying who here, I have no idea because I'm not a native Milwaukean. The sandwich didn't look bad with ham, turkey, mayo, oil, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, secret seasoning on a sesame seed bun. My first impression was the the nice smoked ham, soft fresh bread and the seasoning has a nice garlic taste which played well with all the other flavors. The tomato and onions were diced which I liked along with the cold meats and vegys on the fresh bread, this was a tasty sandwich. Overall this was a tasty sandwich which is so similar to another Milwaukee sandwich shop operation with a secret spice but I will be honest, I liked Gold Coast Subs better and there secret spice stood out right away which I liked. read more

I drove 9 miles to try Gold Coast, as I have been somewhat disappointed with the Original Suburbia near my home on Bluemound. Big mistake. The "Gourmet" , Gold Coast's version of the Classic was disappointing. I swear, there was 1 slice each of thin bologna and salami folded over. Stuffed with alot of lettuce and the seasoned onion mixture. I ordered extra tomatoes, wasn't aware they are diced. For $1, I'm assuming they added about a teaspoon of tomatoes. Sandwich tasted good, but pretty bare bones. Will probably stick to Cousin's Italian..plenty of meat and extra toppings ( except meat) are free!! Have been meaning to try Gold Coast for a long time, so now I know. read more

It took me awhile to find Goldcoast Subs, but am I ever glad I did. I definitely have a little bit of Christopher Columbus syndrome as I'm the one out of my group of friends that 'discovered' this place. And after introducing them to Goldcoast, I definitely love to take the credit of finding it. Especially because they all enjoy it as much as I do. Goldcoast Subs is this hole in the wall place on Layton Ave next to what I believe is a cowboy boot store? But once you go in, the brightness will burn your eyes -- but that's just the surface gold baby. Once you get to the counter and read the subs they have -- you're hungry. You want, no, need one. And there's so many good ones to choose from. My go-to sandwich is the 'Say Cheese', three different kinds of cheeses smothered in what I think is oil, mayo, spices, mustard and something else that's just too good. It's seriously heaven in a mouthful and I swear by this sandwich. 'Gold Dust' I believe is another great one, your standard ham sub with all the fixings one could ask for. This one also comes with the rich spices that the Say Cheese has and that's what makes Goldcoast such an awesome place. The flavor you taste can't and isn't replicated elsewhere. So do yourself a favor and get over there! read more

GoldCoast Subs - Say cheese Sub is my fav! - Sandwiches Near Me - Greenfield, Wisconsin

Amazing fast service, reasonable prices, fantastic subs. Their new dessert brownies are soooooo good too. Happy to see the new young owner keeping up the quality! read more

Great service and a Great old school Sub.I like the fact you can call in order and it's waiting for you when you walk in the door.Don't miss this treasure. read more

If you recall the original Surbpia and love the original. This is as close as I have tasted. I know it's hard to find their hours, but ( aside from Mondays , as of today), lunch time is ok The sandwiches are Excellent. Wish they would update their website though. read more

This one tops my list of favorite sub shops in Milwaukee. The space is simple, and kind of out dated, which is alright because it lends to the quirkinesses of the business. You'll find nothing "extra" or "fancy" in their cowboy/western themed dining area. My go-to order? The turkey sub, all the way. Everything about this sandwich just works. The meat is great, though I wish there was more of it. The oil and secret seasoning work together perfectly, and the bread is hearty and fresh. These subs are messy, but that's okay. Goldcoast serves them in a plastic bag, so as long leave the bag on while you're eating, you'll have no problems. Give it a shot. read more

Fantastic service and food. Always friendly and will gladly make the subs how you want them. Just started eating here recently and loving it already. read more

Best sub-sandwiches you'll ever have! Excellent service gives you that small hometown feel.

After pond visiting the late in Avenue location I experienced nothing but rudeness and no courtesy when trying to get some type of explanation and why my sub did not have enough tuna fish instead I got the Greenfield police department called on me These people should not be in business As to go as far as calling the police regarding amount of tuna fish on your sandwich At 60 plus I sure felt very offended I thought I was in a foreign country would not visit this and I don't trust them with anything let alone make a sandwich they don't know how to handle it or their business read more

vibe i get from this restaurant is very much like suburbia. subs are quite large and messy, but the sub comes in a small plastic bag to catch anything while you eat. i got the turkey and i'm not sure if the oil/sauce was sweet or if they used a sweet turkey, but something tasted sweet and took away from the savory sandwich flavor. super delicious sesame italian bread, very fresh+ fluffy! overall, it was a good sub and you get a generous sub for the price. also, the man working the counter was an absolute delight and we spoke about the different plants in the shop! covid: must have mask on at all times--they will not allow sweatshirts or other clothing to be acceptable face coverings. pick up only, no seating. read more

Yummmmmmmmmm this is my boyfriends favorite sub shop. So glad he introduced it to me. It's a small place and huge sandwiches. I must say it was a little too salty for me but still good enough for 5stars especially because they love their mayo like I do! I'll be back to try something different to test the salt level again ;) read more

This place caught my eye as I was driving around town. Figured I'd check it out. The sub itself was an absolute home run. The bread was super fresh and the meat and cheese was delicious. I also got a soda and chips all for around $9.00. I'd gladly pay that for some quality food. Now the issue. The young girl working the counter had absolutely ZERO sense of hospitality and was not friendly at all. In fact as I sit here typing this somebody comes out of the back to straighten up and doesn't even acknowledge me. I felt I owed her the business. For that reason I will not return. read more

This place has the best tasting subs I've ever had!that includes the old place on 27th and loomis called Clarke's Sub Shoppe. I highly recommend the GoldDust, the Pentagon, and the Gobbler. The tall skinny blond guy seasons them to perfection, the staff is friendly and safe. Will come back time as often as my belly allows me to :) read more

I happened to be in the area for my job. I had brought a lunch from home, but was craving a a good sub. I waited at the counter and stood at the register for a a minute or 2.. A lady finally peaked her head out and said it would be at least 10 minutes and she was the only 1 working. I only have a 30 minute lunch with about 20 minutes left on it. I had to leave, I cant wait for what should be a quick order if the restaurant was properly staffed. I understand things happen, but I couldn't get the sub I wanted due to their issue. I ended up eating leftovers for lunch. read more

The subs are great but they don't follow their own posted hours. I get the hankering for one of their great sandwiches and I get in my car and drive over there because they're supposed to be open until 8:00pm. At 7:30, the lights are off, the door is locked, and the owner is stacking chairs. On many occasions I've made a trip there only to be disappointed by finding them closed during the hours that they list themselves as open. I feel disrespected as a customer and I'm cranky because I'm hungry. If I go to any other sub shop or restaurant during posted hours, guess what!......... They're OPEN read more

I know this business was up for sale earlier this year. Don't know if it has been sold, but sandwiches have not been the same my last two visits. Today I ordered a Gold Coast as I did last time. However I placed my order and I don't know if sandwiches are now premade, but the counter person took my order, walked in and walked out with sandwich already in the paper bag. There was no oil or seasoning at all. It's taste was very bland. The only good thing, the bread was super fresh. I'll try one more time and if no improvement, I'll go to back to the Original Suburpia.. read more

Usually the sandwiches are good however, this time it tasted like the salt shaker broke open on our sandwiches. Very dissatisfied. We tried to call them to let them know but no one answers the phone. read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would! The subs are so good-- you'll never be able to eat cousins or subway again. The subs consist of whatever meat you choose, American cheese, mayo, lettuce, finely diced onion, & an oil blend which is out of this world- and makes a Gold Coast sub so special! Unfortunately, there are probably about a zillion calories in each sandwich. When I go there, I get the gobbler (turkey) with no mayo & no cheese- I honestly don't think it takes anything away from how delicious it is. The staff is so nice too! I've gone to the one on Oklahoma also & the subs taste the same now matter where you go, but I like this one better just because it's new & not in a gas station :) read more

I tried ordering them through Grubhub a couple days ago. Since I don't drive and couldn't go pick up. I place the order. It said order accepted. Then order in process. Expect it at I forget what time. Then it says Order cancelled. You'll get a refund of your money. It has me wondering what is up with them. A few years back we were going to go in and pick up some subs. It was 2 hours before closing time. It was summer. The door was propped open. I walk in. Some woman come out says We're closed. I said Why is the door still open? read more

This place got the best subs in the city. So good don't forget your jalapeño heat potato chips to go with it.

This was my first time at this place, though my family goes their frequently. The subs are a bit higher on the price side ($5.99 for a 6inch), but your sub is well worth the price & extremely filling. I tried the GoldCoast and the ham was tender and the oil almost dropped down your arm. The experts keep it in the bag to eat it - learn from their wisdom. The service was pretty bad. Two people running the joint on a Saturday lunch? Oof and the person taking orders kept mixing up people's orders up - subs of one order with the sides of another. Be prepared to double check your order for sure, but it's worth a try! read more

Not as good as my beloved Suburpia. It's an opportunity cost at best. I mean, at least it's not Subway.

This Goldcoast is open on Sundays, has a parking lot, and more seating. The subs are amazing at any location, and I cannot recommend them enough. A+ seasoning and a perfect level of messiness (keep your sub in the bag or everyone will know youre a newbie). The service here is friendly too! read more

Great subs love the oil and French bread! Chips are awesome and specher products! Love and will be back !
