The customer service was amazing very friendly and welcoming ..... when it came to the food I was left speechless of how fresh and delicious. The bread was soft but stood up to all the ingredients and juiciness of my sandwich the steak was tender and so tasty and all the other ingredients just Completely took it overboard in the best way possible. I had the FXO and the Woke AF read more

Munchies - THE FXO IS DEFINITELY A MUST TRY SO DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL. - Sandwiches Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

I've been holding the zeitgeist at bay by tracking down eateries to serve each of my wild or niche cravings, and today was the day for Something Like A French Dip. Munchies' french dip hits that spot with a beautiful dive that incorporates three spins and a back flip. It has Funyons on it. There's one sandwich on the menu that I'd bet will cause the eater to breathe actual fire. You can add bacon jam to anything; you can go entirely the other way and order vegan. The entire range of earnest northeastern college-town needs are met here on a lovely Apicella's roll with quality ingredients and care. Devour your "fries with crack salt" while they're hot rather than carrying them around, crooning gently, as a talisman against stress. (I'm going to try reheating mine later -- the side order is huge.) What's not huge is the current location next to Marjolaine on State Street, so if you can get your head in the game to pre-order on Toast Tab, that's the pandemic-prudent thing to do. Go pick up your order and either take it home or to a park. read more

The fries are some of THE BEST in New Haven. Excellently seasoned and travel well. And yes, of course, sandwiches are out of this world. Canadian Tux and El Guapo both hit the spot, haven't tried the others *yet* read more

Best sandwiches in New Haven. Got his own unique style so don't expect it to be your typical sandwich. My go to is the shogun, always a 10/10. We keep going back again and again. read more

Killer spot for subs, especially the Woke AF! Vegans welcome which is always a huge plus.

This place is one of a kind! Unique sub sandwiches that all hit the spot when you really need something delicious and fulfilling. Creative flavors and ingredients and open late. Only one vegetarian/vegan option but it's worth getting! read more

best sandwiches in ct. the canadian tux is a 10 every time. my scale is now like 1-canadian tux. tried the hosoi last night and it was delicious. lo pan went crazy. i'm obsessed. read more

Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The man who works there is super nice and lets you customize your sandwich! They're also great prices for how big the sandwich is. read more

So good for a late night eat! My kids love the sandwiches and you get lots of food for the price. Incredible fries, just plain indulgent and fun! Tiny shop with friendly service. Lots of great outdoor places to sit and eat once you get your food. read more

One of the best sammies I've had in a while. Can't go wrong with the Canadian Tuxedo: quality steak, sweetness of the caramelized onions and honey-bacon jam compliment the meat perfectly, bread was super fresh, had just the right amount of crunch and made for an ideal bread to meat ratio. Owner is a cool dude too. Can't recommend the place enough! read more

Bangin sandwich. I had one of their specials they called "the lazy hustler" with cuban style pork, some type of apple coleslaw, and a delicious sauce. Sandwich was very very tasty. Only thing I could think of that could of made it better is if they crisped the pork. It was a top notch sandwich dont get me wrong, but id imagine that would take it to an even higher level of bangin-ness. The guys were friendly and even though i didnt call ahead, the sandwich was ready quickly. I would 100% return. read more

Wow, the subs at Munchies are unique and delicious. I had the Captain Tux sub and every bite for me, was a yum. I would definitely be returning to Munchies. The bread is soft and fresh. This is exactly what we need in New Haven. It's on State St., tucked in a corner. The owner is pleasant and down to earth. The prices are great too!! read more

Alright let me tell y'all about this friggin concoction I ate last night. So I been doing grubhub (I'm trying to go back to school so shout-out to grubhub for the extra $) I did hear about this spot BUT I'm a "healthy girl" so places that sound like this I do ignore I must admit but I had a order to pick up so I was there. Boy was I wrong for ignoring y'all, first off they're on a little corner the place is tight af but the people are so lit super friendly so automatically I liked the service. They make the food right there and so I asked about the vegan sandwich on their menu and they sold me on it and I HATE "saytan" (spelled wrong but I know you know what I'm talking about lol) and dude this sandwich was FIRE! and my bf ate the "el guapo" and he said it was amazing too. Guys I know the sandwiches are 13+ dollars but the sandwich is a REAL foot long fresh bread all fluffy and it was stuffed with food not just sprinkled so you can be fat and eat it in one sitting like I did or split it like a true weenie but that's up to you. I WILL be back. Do yourselves the favor and get the ranch/blue cheese dressing on the side with some fries they make sure you are left satisfied in every way. You guys did good TEN thumbs up. I'll spread the word keep being so nice read more

See all

Love the sandwiches. Great late night eats!!! My second sandwich and amazing is what I must say. I also had the Hannibal and that was great as well! read more

Munchies - "1. El Guapo Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

This place is one of a kind. I've never encountered a sub shop that's so creative. Each of the subs have their own flavor identity. I ordered the fried chicken sub and el guapo sub. Both were equally delicious! The honest management is a plus (: I will be back. read more

The food was delicious! I had the El Guapo and what an array of flavor! My wife got the coconut butternut squash stew and sweet plantains, both were FANTASTIC!! We can't wait to stop in again and try more of the menu!! read more

CHICK NORRIS 9.6/10 The chick norris absolutely slaps!!! The apple coleslaw and gold sauce and crispy chx are soo good! Small chopped jalepeños for the yummy zing Huge sandwich, definitely good value Fries looked amazing. The cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks I saw the chef cooking on the big flat top grille looking amazing!!! The entire menu is creative and unique and once weather warms up, I'm gonna put this spot as a spring/summer/fall regular spot because there is lots of benches and areas to eat and enjoy your food outdoors. I plan to try the entire menu this year!! Owner Drew was friendly and said hi read more

SO GOOD. Generous portions, impeccably cooked meats (including the plant based!) and friendly service. I'm lucky to live around the corner. Super COVID-19 safe as it's a takeout/delivery only operation. I got the Texas Moustache which was a perfect combination of flavors: umami, sweet, tangy, salty. Lightly spicy. My partner got the vegan cheesesteak but subbed American cheese bc they eat dairy. I am a meat eater who eats a lot of plant based meat as well and this is some of the best cooked Seitan I've ever tried. Perfectly seasoned! Also FRITOS! Can't wait to try more! Next time we'll split a sandwich and get a side and cake. read more

We had the vegan sub and it was to die for!!! Great combination of flavors. Thank you Munchies.

I got the Vegan "Woke AF" sub and it was amazing! They have the best subs In Connecicut hands down. I definitely recommend this to all, and will be back soon. read more

Looking at the menu and the name, I figured this was excess for the sake of excess to appeal to college students, but I was wrong. This place is great. The weird toppings (Funyuns, Hot Cheetos, etc.) are used in surprising moderation to add a bit of crunch and fun to the sandwiches, and the other ingredients are top rate: perfectly fried chicken, tender steak, yummy sauces, excellent French fries. read more

Unreal. Easily the best sandwich shop in town and it's really not close. Heard a lot about this place had the chance to go tonight and I can't tel you how good the food is. The guy running the shop and cooking the food clearly takes pride in what he does because these subs were truly amazing. Give it a shot you won't regret it. read more

Ludicrously good. I got the read death and I was so surprised by how well it turned out. Will be coming back soon.

I came in here high af and it was the best experience of my life. I got the El Guapo, gluten free on a lettuce wrap. Still banging

Sandwiches were delicious and staff was friendly. Perfect late night find & sandwiches traveled well. We ordered 4 steak and cheese with a few different toppings. Really, really great read more

I ordered the woke of vegan and is delicious will definitely order it again. The guys made the fresh sandwich under 10 minutes. Customer services was awesome. read more

Had the chopped cheese as well as Canadian tux. You have to try the Canadian tux! Amazing specialty subs, I'll definitely be back!

Best spot for late night in East Rock! Vegan sub was amazing. Fries were dropped just as I walked in. Perfection.

If i could rate higher I would, 10/10.l would recommend their vegan sandwich I wish they were open more.

Great food, owner is there a lot and staff is awesome. A bit expensive but not for the location and what you get.

I wanted to love this place and make it a favorite lunch spot, but for $15 for a grinder?? Not THAT great. I tried a few of their specialties and none were bad, I admit they have a nice menu and some good ideas. Had the Canadian Tux 3x and was great 2 out of 3x but the 3rd was unlucky, i felt ill. And for the price, I'd rather get a standard steak'n'cheese for half the price. Also had another way expensive grinder with chicken that was overcooked to the point of sawing my jaw. read more

What a hidden gem for the neighborhood. I've loved every sub I have gotten here--each item is carefully thought out and optimized for variety of taste, texture, flavor. I believe their sauces (which are a small extra cost) are made in store, and the Gold Sauce (kind of like honey mustard but even better somehow), Chipotle Aioli, and Colombian garlic sauces are my absolute favorites. No better meal after a couple of drinks but totally stands on its own sober, too. Friendly and thoughtful staff round out an altogether amazing experience read more

My favorite place to eat in new haven! The Canadian tux sub is so savory and delicious. The birthday cake is incredibly moist, a true treat. The fries are also quite good but the sandwiches steal the show. read more

I'm hesitant to post this because I don't want to share this secret amazing hidden sandwich shop but the food was too good not to give credit where credit is due! "The facehugger" I think was my sub of choice. Fried chicken, sausage gravy, other amazing things inside I ate it so fast I don't remember tomato? Some greenery? But seriously. Best sandwich... meal! I've eaten out in a long time! read more

This hole in the wall spot is an absolute gem! Ordered the "Woke AF" vegan grinder, and it is hands down the best grinder in CT. They put so much effort into their hand crafted subs, and you can really taste it. Not to mention, the customer service is great as well. Do not sleep on this place!!! read more

Amazing subs amazing service nice staff. Unique sandwiches. Decent prices. Go here if you ever want a sub!!!!

I have seldom had a better sandwich in the New Haven area. It is located next door to Next Door, and Drew is killin it on the grill. I worry about getting from this place too often, so I have to moderate, but these sandwiches are absolutely incredible. Also, the fries are really good and well seasoned. read more

I've been looking for a good hoagie place since leaving the Philly area for a while and this place hits the spot and then some. The sandwiches (el guapo and Canadian tux) were outstanding and the cornbread was out of this world. The cornbread was rich and delicious and mise well be dessert. read more
