Greiners is a fixture on the Southside. They serve a variety of HUGE hit and cold subs on really delicious bread. It's a little bit of a hole in the wall tucked on a side street but they have quite a following. read more

The only thing i can complain about is them not telling me how big these sandwiches are. Service was really nice. And the atmosphere was really great. Will be back very soon read more

Despite the Employee shortage.. TURTLE and another employee were working their butts off. My go to is the Ham and cheese- Old School!! YUMMMMM.. This is a family favorite place .. Quirky..yes.. old.. yes, but rich in tradition!! We drive from the Southside just to enjoy this place!! read more

Best sandwiches in Indianapolis good and fresh at a good price !!! My new favorite place this place is going to explode when the rest of the justices center and court s open up !!! read more

I finally tried out Greiner's this week. I had a simple turkey sandwich and it was a delight. The bread was fresh and soft, the meat and veggies were all fresh. The service was great too. They were timely while making my sandwich and cashing me out. It also seems like a family run business. All hands on deck. I'll definitely be back, and maybe I'll have some mac and cheese. read more

Ok so the food here is so good. I have loved everything I've ever had from here. They even have gluten free bread and it's a massive portion if you order that but the catch is it's sliced loaf bread so it falls apart easily. The main issue I've been having is lately that I just want a sandwich as a salad and it turns into a whole giant ordeal. The owner wants to skimp and try to shove a whole salad in a very small container or make you pay double and get a larger normal sized container. The problem I have is there's way more on a sandwich than what fits in the small container. Some staff members there are awesome and a few others are horrible & I don't even want them to make my food honestly. My friends and I have observed the owner lady being so mean & controlling to the employees & charged me $24 for just a salad! I told her it would have been cheaper to go to Bluebeard's! She does way too much and needs to step away from the counter and just trust her employees more! They are fully grown adults and don't need that much supervision. I swore the last time I went would be the last but darn I really do miss their salads and just work down the street! read more

Great little updated Sammie Joint between Fountain Square and Garfield Park. They have ben a this location for years and have never let me down. Serving a number of sandwiches, pizza and now Mac Genie Mac n Cheese this place is a jewel of a joint on the Southside. Ordered half of a steak and cheese with "Old School" toppings this sandwich was fantastic. I am generally not one for steak sandwich but served on fresh baked sourdough, cannot pass up this one. Stop on in and grab a pie or sammie for your pleasure. read more

Greiner's - Great Southside sandwich joint. Sammie dressed old school style. - Food Trucks Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Must visit and indulge if you are a fan of sandwiches! Easily some of the best sammies I've ever had, incredible service as well, so kind. If I'm in Indy in the future I'll be dropping by again for sure... read more

First time visitor to this fine food truck. Many people are concerned when it comes to eating food made in a converted UPS looking vehicle. But hey, food is food and whether it is made in a clean kitchen or a hot steamy box on wheels, it all goes to the same place when you eat it. I was stuck between picking a sandwich or their Mac and Cheese. Based on what I saw you cant go wrong with either. I helped myself to their version of an italian sub and my goodness was it fine. I have feeling for that sub the same way Gordo has feelings for Lizzy as they visit Rome in the Lizzy Maguire Movie. Other than the food. The people yes people as in not one person, working the truck were great. They had enough people working that by the time you had finished picking out your chips your food was in your hand. They even had some homemade brownies for sale. As a lover of baked goods it took a lot of will power to turn down the offer. read more

What a hidden gem! If you don't know this place is here, you've probably driven past it and didn't think twice. However, you have to check it out!! Although it is tucked away in between some other buildings, Greiner's stands out because of their great food and friendly staff members! There are SO many things on the menu to choose from!! During my visit, I had an 8 inch chicken salad sub. I love that I was also able to add my own toppings to my sandwich from their many fresh options. Not to mention, they have such a variety of chips to choose from; some flavors I have never heard of before! All in all, this place is very reasonably priced and such a cute little sub shop with so much personality! I will definitely be spreading the word and visiting more often! read more

Would have been nice to have the prices for the sandwiches displayed. The Philly cheesesteak was nothing more than warm deli meat. The bread was at least tasty. The restaurant wasn't crowded which was a surprise for a Friday at noon. Way too many employees acting like it was their first day at work. This is not the Greiner's I remember. read more

Once I moved near Garfield Park nearly 8 years ago, an Indy native friend insisted that I try Greiners Sub and I've been a loyal customer ever since. This apparently is the only location left in Indy and I'm so glad that it is still here. Fresh sourdough, wheat or white bread. 8 or 16 inch subs. Delicious broccoli or pasta salad available, as well as soups, chips, cookies and brownies. I always get the sourdough and I can't resist the broccoli salad. New management now, which has its ups and downs. The store is cleaner and the staff is much nicer (and also cleaner), but they got rid of several of their cold subs, including the seafood sub that was one of my favorites. Oh well, there are still plenty of delicious ones to choose from. If you are a salami lover, try the 1969 sub with "old school" fixings that include lettuce, tomato, pepperocinis, onions, oil and vinegar and oregano. The pizza burger sub is awesome, plenty of sauce and melted cheese to fill you up for a full day. The tuna salad sub is worth an honorable mention. But one of the best is their roast beef with au jus sauce...they dip the entire sub in the sauce and yet it still isn't completely soggy! One last note, be prepared to get messy. They have a weird way of cutting the bread that doesn't allow much room for the meat, cheese and toppings, so some of it squishes out of the top, more with every bite. Sometimes I just eat part of the toppings straight off the top before I bite into the rest. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of love for Jimmy Johns, but if you're looking for something different and most importantly, local, give this place a try! read more

Greiner's - Italian 1969 sub topped "old school" style, 8 inch - Food Trucks Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Love the steak and cheese old school yummy will continue to go just wish that they were open later during the week I highly recommend

It's Sunday and I needed something to eat. Greiner's is in my neighborhood and I had never had it so I decided to give it a shot. I LOVE mac and cheese so I was pretty excited and got their original mac. It was okay. Nothing spectacular and actually kind of bland. I also got their Philly cheesesteak. Once again it was okay. The meat was not juicy and it didn't have the traditional peppers or onions that I look for in this sandwich. read more

Kind staff, good food, good price! What more do you want? Got the grilled cheese, some chips and a drink. Made right in front of men

Came to the shop at 730 and door was locked and sign said closed even though signs says the close at 8. First time coming not a great way to start off a customer thats been wanting to try this sub shop out. read more

Came in for the first time and the staff was extremely friendly and gave some great recommendations. The brownies are incredible, very fudgey and generously sized. The ambiance of the shop was really charming. I think posting the menu prices would be great but that's the only area of improvement that I saw read more

Yum! My husband and I just split a Hot Toddy and discovered our new favorite deli in Indy. The 16"sandwich was so large that we took half home to enjoy later. Great customer service and very reasonable priced. We'll be back! read more

It's such a shame these days ! Super dirty inside and the food is no longer to "die" for. Whole situation is disappointing now. I would go weekly and the covid happened. Kept driving by and finally stopped. Wish I hadn't. read more

I've given them several "tries" and I've learned that I won't be returning. They always have new staff there and it seems that they don't teach them anything about sanitary or cleanliness regulations. Having worked at a health department and in restaurants myself, I think it's a pretty easy thing to realize that employees shouldn't take bites or eat off the food line. I've ordered several items from their menu that had minimal flavor and even took back the mac and cheese because I physically could not eat it. I've maybe done that twice? That being said, their dog treats are adorable! read more

Yikes! I get all places are struggling to find enough help and apparently they may be no different. Only one person ahead of us and it took 20 mins to order and prepare 2 sandwiches. Both of our subs were hot, but cold. They nuke the meat. We ordered fries but when sandwiches were done it was clear they had even started those. So no fries. I ordered potato soup and they nuked it and it was still cold. They reheated and nuked it to oblivion. My friend ordered 16" they fixed an 8" and the bread was like half the size my 8" was. Kids meal bread? The sausage on my sandwich tasted good and even tho soup was over cooked it had a good flavor. Place was dirty to boot, all for $25...yikes!. We won't be back read more

I'm so impressed by this place! We walked in just at the right time to chat with the owner before she left. She told us all about the menu and wide variety of things that this business offers, such as, their food truck, food delivery service, newly acquired Mac Genie Mac & cheese and a dog treat truck. The owner and staff were very pleasant and the food was top-notch. I especially appreciated how thought out the overall design and decor of the building is. You can see that every inch of this little building was carefully planned. My sister and I grabbed a late lunch at 2:45 pm and there was a steady stream of people the entire time, however despite this, the food came out fast and was piping hot. This is such a great addition to Garfield Park, we will definitely be back soon. Also, automatic +1 star for brownies and cupcakes the size of your face. read more

I visited Greiner's Sub Shop over the weekend for the 1st time - and....I cannot wait to go back! I ordered the pepperoni 8 inch sub old school style (tomatoes, lettuce, onion, oregano, peperochinis, vinegar and oil - I was in heaven, I did not realize until my mate asked me why my eyes were closed that I seriously had my eyes closed, I guess so there would be ZERO distraction during the delicious euphoria I was experiencing!! The ambiance was just perfect - far out funky decor! The gals working were so cool! Also - one of the staff mentioned.... coming soon to the beverage menu - beer & wine!!! Yippee-o! See you soon, Greiner's!!! read more

service was awesome and the hot toddy sandwich was to die for!!! i will definitely be coming back here and recommending to other people!!!

Today was not my first time to this local favorite. And it most certainly won't be my last. I find myself following my stomach multiple times a week into the doors of Greiner's off Shelby. It has a Cheers type vibe for me. The folks behind the counter know me by name, know all my random requests and orders, and still find time to welcome the new and old alike into this historic building near the heart of Fountain Square. The decor reminds you of everything you wish you could make off Pinterest. The owner Lisa and manager Kelly along with other welcoming personalities such as Sage and Queenie, make this place worth visiting and I don't even get me started on the food. Everything will bring you back. Everything. read more

Had to be the WORST Philly cheesesteak that I have ever had in my life. If arrived cold the cheese was hard the bun stuck to my mouth so bad I had to brush my teeth for 30 min and I will spare u all the in-depth detail of what the meat taste like but it was BAD. Also got a veggie rap and was bad subway is 10 times better and they are bad. They put Mozzarella cheese on my GreekI WOULD PUT A BIG FAT 0 but 1 was the lowest I could go. read more

Dined here with the family tonight and some friends who recommended it. I would say things were just okay. As soon as we walked in my kids (2 & 4) must have smelled the pizza because that is what they asked for before I told them what was on the menu. I did not have, but there were no complaints. Visually it was too much sauce for my liking and on the messy side, but if the kids ate it that's a win in my book! I ordered their version of a chicken cheese steak. I cannot recall what it was called but it was just okay. Granted I did not add any toppings, I can be a plain Jane when it comes to toppings, but it was nothing to write home about. I also prefer a soft roll over one that goes through the toaster. I did order the original Mac as a side and it was awesome!! Apparently Mac Genie, the food truck, sold their business to Greiner's. Two thumbs up on the mac & cheese! My husband ordered a hoagie that was enormous, Ray's something, that looked legit to this Philly girl and and he enjoyed it! He also ordered the sea salt brownie which was divine, this is the same that can be found on the Scout's Treat Truck which was housed outside. Not sure we will be back, but it was a cool atmosphere, the staff was friendly and it was a nice night out with friends. read more

This place is a great local sub place. We had the 1969 sub, grilled cheese , and pizza. The brownies are amazing and I am still thinking about them 2 weeks later. read more

Wow! Cannot recommend this place enough after their re-open this week. We are new to the neighborhood, so never tried before, but based on past photos - there's a world of difference. The interior and exterior both have hip vibes. Friendly service with great food options - we'll be back! Thanks to Bobby for his above and beyond customer service read more

I, like some others have mixed emotions about this place. We have been to both locations and they share the same tendencies with slower, not bad, service. Not through lack of trying though. Soup, sandwiches, and especially baked goods are all awesome. Really funky space that we like, definitely give this place a try, you just may have to be a bit patient. read more

Something about this part of town reminds me of a typical community in eastern Pennsylvania: the age of the houses, the walkable character, the Mom and Pop (or Grandma and Grandpa) places with signs dating from back from the Eisenhower administration. And best of all, the signature sandwich at Greiner's Subs is called a hoagie! Could it be a hat tip to the Keystone State? The bread (French, whole wheat, or sourdough) doesn't look anything special, but it feels more legit and less pre-frozen/processed than Subway's many varieties. And the comparisons continue: most of the options are very similar to what you'd find at America's most ubiquitous fast-food joint, but the Greiner's has a bit more to choose from. And the sandwiches may seem pricey at first, but remember that they are 8" or 16", so they really measure up in the long run. Toppings are certainly no less fresh than Subway. In the end, the sandwiches here are nothing earth-shattering, and it might be hard for the place to distinguish itself if the slowly gentrifying neighborhood had a bigger variety of options. But service, though glacially slow at my last visit, is upbeat and homey. Apparently Greiner's has been an Indy institution for over 40 years (sometimes with more locations than just this one), but I only recently learned about it. Hugged next to a bigger, more prominent building, it doesn't stand out. But the hipsters from down the street in Fountain Square need to give this place a shout--after all, FS already has a Subway, and a trip to Greiner's counts as a defiant but good-natured anti-corporate gesture. read more

Food is absolutely five stars. Soft, fresh buns, baked in-house daily put these subs over the top. There is plenty of meat and toppings in the sandwiches, and the fillings are high quality. BUT. And this is a big but. The reason we haven't gone back yet was the terrible service. There were 2 employees there, and we arrived about an hour and a half before closing time. There were 2 men eating when we got there, and a man and his son arrived before we left...so a total of 6 customers in about 30 minutes on a cold, wet, winter night. We walked in and weren't greeted at all, because the woman at the counter was chatting with one of the men who was eating. When she finished her conversation, she gave us a dirty look and said in an exasperated tone, "I am never going to get out of here tonight," (no other words) then stood in front of the cash register and looked at us. When I realized she wasn't going to respond to my smile and, "Hi," I commenced ordering my food: Italian Beef, no veggies. He ordered a cold roast beef sandwich. The woman walks away, without a word to us, and starts to make the sandwiches. Yes, she wore clean gloves. Everything was refrigerated and the prep area looked clean. She began to put toppings on my sandwich and I had to stop her; "Please...no veggies on my sandwich." She let out a grouchy noise and rolled her eyes at me before picking the veggies off. In making his sandwich, she finally spoke, "Whadaya want on this?" He said, "What are my choices?" She looked at him, looked at the cooler, and said, "What do you want?" We were made to feel like a total inconvenience by this woman, when all we did was order 2 simple sandwiches. We eat out twice a week on average, and this was hands-down the most hostile customer service I've ever received. But again, THE SANDWICHES are AWESOME! Mine was hot and doused in spicy au jus and I had to eat it with a fork, which is perfection. He really liked his too, even though it was just beef, lettuce, cheese, and peppers. I'm sure we'll go back eventually, but neither of us enjoyed being ignored (2nd employee) and having someone be rude to us (1st employee). Pizza is on the menu too, along with bread sticks, cookies, and some salads. I'd say the main draw at Greiner's, as the name suggests, is the subs. read more

We came in for dinner tonight and we were so disappointed. The sandwich did not look like it was from Greiner's but instead a measly sandwich from any other place. Barely any meat and the meat makes the sandwich. The only reason for two starts is because I've had a great sandwich in the past. Let's hope this is not a trend. read more

Ordered sandwich, salad and breadsticks. Breadsticks were the only thing that I kind of liked. Salad was just shredded lettuce packed in with toppings layers a bit on top. Sandwich bread was hard and shaped so the fillings were falling out. Overall taste and quality weren't good so won't eat here again. read more

WOW, WOW is right! I love this place! First had them from a food truck. I thought right away of sub shops from back in the Upper P of michigan. GOOD food, done right. I was impressed and had to try more. I love the name sake, and it's what I get every time. Love the meats, the bread is fresh baked in house, white, wheat and sourdough. I love a good sourdough. This is not a overpowering one, and to be frank, I can't tell much difference between it and the regular italian, but they are good! Soft and you can taste the freshness. At lunch there is a wait, and it's usually about 6 police officers. They are offering fresh made soup and chili, which I have heard is good. I will give those a go my next time around. I did order a pizza one night. The sauce is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I could not believe how good the sauce is. The crust, was a complete BUST. It's some sort of super hard as a rock thick crust. They have to do something about the crust and this would be the absolute best pizza on the planet! The toppings are great, full of flavor. I'm telling you it's a food gasam in your mouth with this pizza sauce. THE. BEST. AROUND! If you say different, you will be wrong and I can't agree with you because then we both would be wrong! At any rate, give them a shot if you had bad service before. They have been great over the past 9 month's that I have been going here. The girls are very friendly and even though they got my pizza wrong when I ordered it, they corrected it and made sure I was happy before I left. It was the same hipster happy guy another poster talked about. Good stuff, hope they get a better pizza crust in, as that would make for one happy Raiderman! If you see the food truck, stop and get something! read more

2nd trip decided to try the pizza and the meatball. The marinara is rich, dark, and barely edible.... Had to drop a star. Do not eat these items. Also had grilled chicken sub and it wasn't great. Staff was wayyyy better this time however very slow and the food was awful. Stick to the italian beef or the turkey subs and its pretty good. 1st trip had the Italian beef with Gardino peppers and provolone cheese. They dip the entire sandwich in au jus and it was better than expected. The bread wasn't that soggy and its pretty darn good. I have a one year old and the manager Tina was very strict about the no turkey in the kids meals lol she should relax and not be so serious. If a customer ask for something that's not ridiculous you should probably just go ahead and try to accommodate them. It was my first time and she was like "if my owner was here I could ask but they're not" You're a manager and are suppose to be a decision maker. Regardless my daughter enjoyed her """8 inch"""" turkey sandwich and it was good as well. I will be back but I'm going to growl if I see Tina. read more

This place is the best sub shop on the near south side. It's simple and good. I've tried several subs all of which I liked but the 1969 hogie dressed old school is my favorite. Plus the home made dog biscuits are nice. If you haven't tried it you need to. read more

This place is disgusting. I worked here for a day and not only did the owner not pay me, there were roaches in the back kitchen. All the employees talked about how gross this place was. I never went back. Dine at your own risk. read more

I don't know if the blue haired girl there was just incompetent or what, but she made the most disgusting Philly Cheese Steak. Philly cheese steaks are supposed to have grilled onions and bell peppers on them. They are filled with steak and oozing with cheese... She handed me shit in a hoagie. "Steak" was a discolored yellow color, dry as if it had been sitting out for days now then she slopped on some tomatoes, shredded onion and a piece of provolone (questionable what type really). Ugh it was so gross and not at all worth the money. I'll never recommend this place for sandwiches ever. Their Mac and cheese and deep dish cookie were good though. read more
