5.8 star review.....cheesesteak combo, no ands, ifs, or buts......just do it This was one of the best subs I've had in a long time. Heated up the next day was just as good. read more

Was trying to find a quick place to eat and came upon this place. Wasn't sure what to think as I was walking up, but I'm glad we gave it a shot. Got a club and an Italian sandwich. Portion sizes were huge and the Sammie's were just delicious! Only here for one more day, but hubby is insisting we go back so he can try the steak sandwich! All the employees were just great as well! I'm definitely adding this to my places to visit for my next return trip to Boston! Highly recommend!! read more

Rondo's Sub Shop - Italian sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Rondo's is a local mom and pop shop and has been a Southie staple for decades along with good ol' Liberty Bell back in the day for those who remember those beefs and steak and cheeses!!! Rondo's has one of the best steak and cheese in Boston and it never disappoints. The service is always quick and friendly and their portions are great for the price. Whenever I crave a steak and cheese, this is my go to place due to its consistency. Get the steak bomb and add whatever fixings to your liking. Enjoy it there for the best experience, but it still keeps well if you take it to go! They have a small eating area with a few tables, but it is usually easy to get a table since many people get takeout or eat quickly. read more

Unbelievable. Classic neighborhood staple with amazing sandwiches at affordable prices. Can't beat Rondos.

So good! Delicious, mom and pop sub shop food. It can be very busy so make sure to go when you aren't in a rush. Definitely glad I ventured to this place during my stay in Boston. read more

Rondo's Sub Shop - Steak and pepperoni - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The absolute *best* steak and cheese/bomb that I've ever had in the Boston area. Bar none. I specifically seek them out for a steak bomb craving. Rondo's kills it. FIVE STARS. read more

Very disappointed. I decided to take a chance and order a Chicken Parm. When they presented it to me the provolone cheese was not melted on top of the sub. Instead it has been jammed into the side and had probably not received any heat whatsoever. This is the type of job I would have done 20 years ago when I worked the college late night shift. -1 star When I asked them to melt the cheese again they added more marinara for some reason. -1 star When I asked them to put it back in the oven, the got all huffy and said it was "too late". They then grudgingly did not put it in the oven but for an unexplained reason put it on the grill. -1 star By the time I received it I was so annoyed and felt that I wasted 11 dollars. I'm going to give them another chance though. read more

Rondo's Sub Shop - Chicken Parm - Sandwiches Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Chicken parm is overcooked, Service is great, Ambiance - you don't come here for the ambiance. Portions are large - good place if your hangry. Not a fan of their roast beef. Meh...it'll do in Dorchester. read more

Bourdain never steers me wrong, even after all these years. Rondo's is the defintion of a mom and pop shop, with the charm, atmosphere, service, and prices to match. I got a large steak bomb for 12 bucks and split it with my guy. It was plenty of food for us both. The sub is made fresh right there and the flavor is out of this world. I highly recommend Rondo's for your steak and cheese cravings! read more

Get the steak and cheese! The people in there are so nice and it seems like it's been a family business for a long time. They make great subs, especially the steak and cheese. The number of people I saw around eating it was not surprising because it's so good. They add in lettuce, mayo, tomatoes, and peppers if you want! You can customize it however you want. A lot of local people come to this shop for lunch or grab and go. read more

Steak and cheese is the best in the business. Their Italian and buff chick also rules.

OMG. This place rocks on so many levels. Totally a mom and pop/family place that does not disappoint. First off, you've got to love that the patriarch of the place was playing around and saying hi to the two young kids that were brought in by some mother. A plus with that neighborhood vibe. The lady taking my order was super nice and asked if I wanted something else besides what comes on the large steak bomb I ordered. Didn't even consider add anything. I asked for some hot peppers which is so lacking at sub shops in Los Angeles. And now for the food! Sooooo good. Cheesy, full of mushrooms and peppers and grilled onions. And the bread is a soft and thin and doesn't make a sub taste like all bread at some places. The steak and all the ingredients were wolfed down. No way was there leftovers even though I could have. The only thing better is if they were opening a Rondo's in LA. Here's to another reason to visit family in Boston during the holidays. Can't wait. Pastrami, Meatball, Italian...etc awaits. PS: Almost forgot, the "Pops" of this place was joking around with me when he was told by the lady I ordered from that I paid, but couldn't help making a joking comment that I didn't pay him when he gave me the scrumptious steak bomb. read more

Always delicious, ordered a steak and cheese with peppers and a chicken cutlet sub. Service is always great. Took a photo of the current menu for everyone as well. read more

Love this place. Nothing but wonderful things to say and an absolute staple in south Boston. Great food, great people.

We were staying near the Southie neighborhood for business, and saw that this place was within walking distance from our hotel. It's a nice mom and pop shop with tasty steak and cheese and meatball subs. The portions are fairly generous for the price, and the bread was nice and soft but still able to hold all the fillings. As we were eating our food we saw plenty of regular local customers stop by. Would definitely come back! read more

Steak and cheese was one of the best that I've had. The service is amazing. You can see them working hard to get orders out.

Ordered the steak combo and definitely got a whole steak or two worth of meat on that one. Great sandwich, reasonable price what more could you ask for. read more

Hidden gem in southie right down the street from Broadway T redline station. Fast, friendly service. A local favorite but also very busy lunch crowd from Transportation workers to construction workers to Police officers. Steak and Cheese sub is a crowd favorite. Can't gobwrong with any Parm subs no matter what protein you choose. Meatball and sausage was my choice. Reasonable price, big portions, you do not want to miss this. read more

This place is fantastic for steak subs. $10.50 for a large Steak Combo? Yes please. Parking can be an issue so keep that in mind. Employees there are very friendly and blazingly fast when they're working. The sub itself was great. Steak was well seasoned and the size was unbeatable considering how packed with fillings it was! Definitely would recommend for your steak sub fix! read more

Best in the business by far. The steak and cheese was incredible. Had it on a wrap and they usually don't serve it like that but did it for us. read more

Lived in Boston for 5 years and just moved, I'm a flight attendant and have a layover here, never been to Rondos but holy moly I was missing out, currently devouring the steak combo (steak,cheese,mushrooms,onion,pepper) with a side of fries. It's amazing. The people there were also so kind and quick. If you are in or around the area. Make your way here if you want a fat tasty juicy sub for a good price. read more

Great local sub spot - gets very busy around lunch time so always recommend calling ahead.

Loved the cheesesteak bomb (combo) with onions, peppers, mushrooms and provolone. Gets busy at noon so best to come early or mid afternoon.

I think this is probably the best steak and cheese in Boston. I appreciate how old school and authentic this place is. Good value too. My advice is call in your order ahead. I have only had the steak and cheese - with perfection why mix it up? But I am sure other things are great too read more

Great old school vibes but the steak and cheese sub was soggy (twice)! I came here a couple of years ago for a steak & cheese sub after reading good reviews - I was not impressed as it was soggy and fairly tasteless. Happened to be in the area last week and decided to give it another shot. The older gentleman behind the counter who took my order was lovely. However, once again, the steak and cheese (this time with mushrooms, pepper, onions for added flavor) was soggy and the additions didn't help flavorwise - it was bland. I took it to go so I could eat it in my car and it the bread was falling apart from being so soggy. The kicker was when I saw the purchase on my credit card bill for $13.04 - that seems higher than the price on the in store board so it seems they added some type of fee. I'm mystified that so many people seem to like the steak subs here ... read more

Excellent sub shop. The steaks are the best in the Boston area. The clubs are underrated as well and I have also had a damn fine tuna sub. The staff is incredible as well so it really is a 'total package' kind of place! read more

Absolutely hit the spot. Amazing local place with relatively reasonable prices and great portions. Called in for the sandwich and it was ready right on time when I walked in. Best cheesesteak I've had in Boston yet, but the bread was a little dry compared to the better cheesesteaks I've had in the past. I will 100% be back and I'm interested to try their other subs. read more

Best stop I made in Boston. On any trip. Ever. Family owned & operated. Made fresh in front of you. No fuss. Say what you want and make room for the next person in line. This spot is full of local, neighborhood folks, firemen & cops. If you need more than that, you definitely need to move on. The family that owns and operates are some of the kindest, most generous people you'll run into in the city. I'm from VA. I visit Boston once a year at Christmas. I just found Rondo's. I am telling everyone. See you next year, Rondo's! I ate here 2ce in 2 days. read more

Savory steak studded with flavorful peppers and gobs of melted provolone, all swaddled in an airy roll just thick enough to keep the contents under control. Great homestyle atmosphere and quick service with fantastic offerings. read more

Saw this driving by my first time in South Boston. Made sure to circle back as it was obvious it was gonna be good. After ordering my "don't call it a Philly" Steak Combo and my wife got a tuna sandwich, she told me this place was well reviewed. Judging by the packed lobby with standing room only I didn't need the reviews. I knew it was gonna be great. What I didn't know was it was gonna be THIS GREAT! Outstanding! Best sub shop I've been to in who knows how long. Maybe ever. If you are nearby do yourself a favor and come here. You'll be glad you did! read more
