Jo-Ed's... what can I say that most locals don't already know... this is an institution of top-o-th-line hand crafted deli sandwiches. My suggestion for those who aren't afraid to jump in whole HOG is to go for what they are known for - the 12 incher bomber on wheat - you won't be disappointed for this and will be entirely satisfied knowing you dined at an Arlington institution. read more

Literally the bomb sub! The place is really cool inside. Mom and Pop vibe. The staff is (mostly) friendly!

Awesome food always has been now for over 40 + years ! Any sandwich you get is the best bite you ever had! read more

place was awesome with the decor they have, and the food smells amazing as they make you some fresh subs! But, the manager or owner who stands over her employees and criticizes everything do in front of their customers is kind of annoying. I understand that she was just trying to ensure the order comes out correctly, but I over heard her talking to one of the employees, and it's that poor ladies 2nd day at work! Cut her some slack, let her learn the menu and what you have to offer and I bet she will do just fine! Will definitely be back, because the food and price is pretty great! But I do hope that the lady will take a breather and let her employees do their jobs, that's why we have them after all! Happy New Year! read more

Been eating here my entire life. Now that I moved an hour away, I crave them more than any sub. Family run since the 70's, changed hands to a new family 10+ years ago and didn't change a bit. Bomber Supreme for me! read more

Best subs ever. Meatball is the bomb. Been going there since the 70's and never had a bad sub. Drive from Waxahachie to get my fix

I'm guessing an update will append to my prior review. First, I went to their website and saw that they've been serving folks since 1995. I don't know why it says that because a group of buddies and I were coming here in '73-'74. I've never really been a fan, but I was craving something last night and I noticed a blurb on their menu. I ordered a regular bomber with their meatball sauce. It was amazing. I love meatball subs, but they disintegrate so quickly. This is a regular sub, but with chopped meatball sauce. It was the perfect combination. It's not another variation of a Philly cheesesteak. It's not another roll with Italian cold cuts. It's its own thing and I liked it a lot. Too bad it took me 50 years to discover it. read more

Om nom nom this Ag Town staple is a must! The staff is amazing and the subs are delicious!

Friendly staff and fresh ingredients. Strive on making your sandwich your way. Cute little seating area if you want to eat there.

Definitely get the double bomber! It's so much better than subway! And their special relish is amazing! read more

Jo-Ed's Bomber - Double Bomber with Jalapenos - Sandwiches Near Me - Pantego, Texas

Warmly greeted by 2 women, shared great conversation as we watched them make our delicious subs. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Place was filled with memorabilia, was awesome looking around at all the knick knacks that filled the restaurant. Devoured the sub before thinking about snapping a pic. read more

Got the 1/2 bomber with meatball and it was delicious. Friendly run operation. Eat in or take home but do try.

We got the triple bomer and it was a great amount of food for the price! We will definitely be back.

The subs are great, large, and very tasty. Their signature seasoned oil goes much better on the sub than I would have imagined. I recommend trying it. I have been there 3 times and now consider my go-to sub stop. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My orders have been quick. Just a great family styled place to visit. read more

Long time go to for east coast style subs. Started in early 70's and still going strong. Great subs or bombers as they call them. I usually get a 6" double meat on Italian bread with all the veggies and seasonings. I love them always fresh made right in front of you. Dino's Subs are a close second, but I have eating bombers for almost fifty years and they are always spot on! They are on Pioneer parkway in west Arlington. Try them, I' am sure you will agree! read more

Need to update still a great sub sandwich or bomber sandwich. Freshest bread wonderful relish seasoning they put on the sub. Bunch of meat on the double bomber with fresh vegetables. Made to order fast friendly service. Get them to go or eat in the place. They do make large orders for parties call ahead. They have plenty of items to choose from. Great place for a sandwich. read more

Jo-Ed's Bomber - 12 in double bomber supreme - Sandwiches Near Me - Pantego, Texas

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the opportunity. I walked in at 7:30pm and placed my order. Sat down with my food by 7:35. At 7:40 I am addressed by staff to ensure I know they close at 8:00. At 7:43 the lights were dimmed. At 7:45 I walked out chewing the last of my food. Literally the best sub I've ever tasted. Just wish I hadn't felt like I was impeding staff by being there. read more

I don't care for them but I know a lot of people do . I don't care that they don't have much variety and I'm the past, haven't liked employees attitude. read more

This place has been around sine the 70's so you know they are doing something right !!! You have to get the meat sauce on your Bomber !!! Its life changing !!! read more

You won't find a better or more authentic sub anywhere! We're from New England and this is the closest taste profile to the Sub Galley subs in the suburbs of Boston! Fresh baked rolls, a great dill relish and a perfect portion of cut veggies and dressing! Splurge and get the Double Meat Supreme!!! read more

The lady was rude, snarky and senile. The meatball sandwich was on of the worst I've ever had. The bread was soggy and the meat had been assaulted with mounds of Italian seasoning. The place was small, and noone was there which should have been a reflag for me. I tried my lovers 3 or 4 meat sandwich and it tasted like something a 7 year old made in the kitchen. This place was definitely a BOMB... the ER ending coming after I ate my wet over seasoned pile of Buffalo Dookie. Awful. Save your money and go to subway. read more

Jo-Ed's Bomber - a man in a diving suit with a gas can - Sandwiches Near Me - Pantego, Texas

Been eating here ever since i moved to Arlington years ago. Sandwiches are perfect, service is friendly and fast. Don't stop in near as often as I should but always have a great experience! read more

Awesome food. Fantastic service the 3 ladies that run the place are awesome. I went there after a 40 year gap. Glad to see it has still got its old charm read more

I've been eating at Jo-Ed's for about 120 years. Not really but a good 45 years going all the way back to when they were on Cooper Street. The sandwiches are always PERFECT and the blend of spices that they sprinkle on give it a very distinctive taste that I have loved since I was a teenager. The staff is always friendly, although maybe a little too right wing for me but they do not push their agenda on the customers. Great food with good service. What more could you want? read more

This was the worst sub I've ever had. I took one bite and it was uneatable. the lettuce was gross and the sandwich had no taste other than the god awful turkey. Although I wouldn't even call it turkey and the coke was not a coke but tasted like a toilet bowl. Now the cheese is a whole other bracket. It was not cheese but a piece of paper that had no flavor. read more

I spotted Jo-Ed's the other day while dropping kids off at nearby Camp Thurman. I was excited to find what looked like a legit sub shop but it was too early in the morning to confirm. Thankfully my wife was due to be back in the area later in the week and I'm happy to report that my instincts were correct. The sandwich was delicious, especially with the dill pickle relish which thankfully was not reminiscent of hot dog relish at all. The Italian roll was nice and soft with great seasoning on top. My wife opted for the salad which received high marks as well from her. For those with a big appetite I would recommend doubling up on the meat. And if anyone thinks Jo-Ed's and Subway are in the same league they must be crazy or have some personal axe to grind. Overall, great sandwich spot. Looking forward to a repeat visit. read more

I don't know what happened to Jo Ed's bomber today. And I'm not one to leave a bad review based on one bad visit. But their subs have truly gone down hill. The shop wasn't very clean. I couldn't find a clean table. And literally my 12 inch sub had "MAYBE" four pieces of meat. Very little relish and two pieces of cheese. It was a bread sub. And it's sad because I love this place but the last few times I went here it's been the same way. You have to pay for double meat to even get the regular amount of meat. This 12 inch sub was $9. Which isn't bad but come on. Make it like you used to. This is not how it used to be. read more

Jo-Ed's Bomber - Really??? This sandwich had literally 4 small pieces of meat. And it was a 12 inch - Sandwiches Near Me - Pantego, Texas

A classic institution of Arlington- no sandwich chain can touch this place. I can't recommend enough.

I've been going here for nearly 45 years. I still love the place and look forward to it every time

In my life so far I've been lucky to enjoy some really good bomber sandwiches from other establishments. Bombers as in real deal submarine sandwiches. From what I've learned, the business was originally opened by a couple from New Jersey. Therefore the name, Eastern style submarines. It's been a long time since they were at the helm since its been sold and run, now by new people. The cost of a 6" versus a foot is menial and quite affordable. I think the major difference is a mere dollar. Approximately $6 and some change for the original bomber in a foot long size. Their menu is short. Bombers consist of the typical deli meats but also include roast beef. Which is usually a plus since deli's tend to charge much more when roast beef is offered as a main or additional topping in a sandwich. Other than the bomber, you can opt for a meatball sandwich or one other style. Bombers may also be ordered with double or triple meat. If only the bread they used were of a better quality, this would be a plus. The bread is alike a French style though it's soft to the touch. Kind of like a french loaf you might pick up at a local bakery. To me, it reminds me of the small loaves I could buy at an Ethnic bakery, like a Middle Eastern or Greek one back in Chicago. I allowed them to just hook me up with a sandwich the way their locals have it. Got a foot long bomber topped with meatballs and marinara. They also loaded it with all their usual toppings. What makes a sub an Eastern style? Supposedly its the oils. Unfortunately for taste, it was a sandwich and nothing else. It made me realize that I at home am a pretty good chef in my own kitchen. I've made awesome meatball sandwiches from scratch and fantastic oven baked sandwiches. The pickle relish had nothing to relish about it and the bread became soggy to touch from being inside the hefty sandwich wrapper. This was a one and done experience for me. If management is listening. Real French bread would make a difference. Also sandwich style tomatoes, check them out at Whole Foods, they are like fruits. Maybe upgrade your meats to Boar head quality or a similar brand that Texans associate with. Or toast the sandwiches. While Quizno's is figuring out whether they will bankrupt or not, take some of their business. Only upon leaving did I notice an advertisement for the Tea Party in their front window. It was big, I am not sure how I missed it initially. I always give kudos to folks that have the balls to stand up for what they believe in, whether that be politics or religion, even if it differs with my own beliefs. However, being that they support the TP movement, if I'd noticed the sign sooner I may not have dined here. read more

Nothing beats their meatball sub! The bread here is also so soft. We always look forward to lunch at the Bomber.

I hit this place when I have a Bomber craving.. Always great!!! Thanks for supporting the Military !!! read more

Been eating this eastern style sub for 40+years! Love it and the owners are great too. Menu is slim but why mess up a perfectly great sub with a lot of other options! read more

Great place. Gone there over 20 years! The same ladies make a great sandwich. You haven't had a sub if you haven't had a Bomber!

Not very welcoming if you no what I mean I guess place been around for decades had the Italian it was ok had a very long piece of hair in my sandwich ladies need to wear a hair net read more

a small one-off shop in arlington. my kinda place. i prefer to give my money to the individual shops over the big chains. i love the decor and the folks are nice. the price is reasonable. BUT every time i go there (EVERY TIME) they mess up the order. if it were crowded i could understand, but the times we go it isn't. and every time i can count on them not following instructions. i think the approach should be, "could you please make me a sandwhich?" and when asked what kind respond, "it doesn't matter, you don't listen anyway." trust me, i WANT TO LOVE this place. i've gone back probably 8-10 times over the last few years - always the same thing. last night was the same thing and i decided to finally write a review. attention to detail would go a long way. instead of "trying again" every few weeks it would become a weekly dive. i'm much more forgiving than my wife and she gets frustrated with them every time. but we keep trying to like them. read more

That was the worst sandwich I've ever had! Put hardly any meat on it and they poured the spicy mustard on it! Ended up in the trash! Lost my business and work next to them! read more

Didn't even get to order because the lady was so rude. Wouldn't recommend based on customer service alone.

Eh. I would leave it at Eh if Yelp let me but they want more. You'll want more if you eat here, sub was light on the meat, light on the veggies and light on the flavor. There was literally an inch of bread on both sides of my 12" that had NOTHING in it, not even Mayo, it was like a skinny 10" with some extra bread. Both my wife and I agree, if you promise 12" you better deliver 12"! read more

Awesome subs, my new go to for sandwich. It's good fast and the ladies are always friendly.
