Wow! It's been a while since I have enjoyed me an awesome Sam's Cheesesteak. I went with the combo which comes with mushrooms, onion, and veg. Do NOT sleep on their onion rings. They are some of the best around!! Love that they still have the pickles to accompany the sub with. Plenty of parking available. Very clean restaurant. Great customer service. If you haven't tried Sam's yet, you need to! They have awesome wings too. Thanks Sam, see you again soon read more

First time customer and definitely the last. I left a note asking for my hamburger plain, but it came with everything on it. I even have proof in black and white that I asked for it plain -- and proof doesn't lie. Then the guy tried claiming they don't even have an option for extra cheese... yet I paid $1.00 each for extra cheese. So clearly, that option exists. What makes it worse is the note I left wasn't even asking about the cheese issue -- I was talking about something completely different. If you're going to mess up an order, at least be honest about it instead of blaming the customer. read more

Went here on coworkers recommendations and so glad I did! It is a Mom and Pop shop. Walked in, gave pop my order, a small 6" cold roast beef sandwich with no mustard, extra mayo and a bag of chips, for under $10! Like 5 minutes later, momma comes out with my sandwich. My food was fast and accurate. The bread was so soft and moist, the roast beef was tasty, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions where fresh. Mayo and subway sauce was good. The filling size was comparable to Subway's, which I like, I don't need to eat a huge sandwich. This sandwich made me full. So bottom line.... Good food, good service, and good price. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is awful and I really wouldn't recommend. The guy doesn't want to be there and it shows in the service and food! I wish I took a picture before I threw that foolish they called a steak and cheese out. I asked for a steak and cheese, double meat and what do I get? The complete opposite! He filled that loaf of bread with cheese, grilled vegetables and 9 pieces of steak! I really thought I was being pranked. Don't let me get started on there " famous" buffalo wings. I think I got food poisoning from them. Because they were OLD. I ate 3 and threw them away too. Back to the sub. I brought the sub back because I couldn't accept that. Tell me why he was mad at ME for coming back with his foolishness. That's when I knew I'd never be back to this establishment. Nor would I ever recommend it. Y'all stay safe. read more

The cheesesteak sandwich's aren't as good as they used to be. That's all I've ever really purchased in the past but recently had a taste for one and decided to go but the sandwich was dry and had no flavor. read more

Have been coming here since I was a baby food is on point always and is served with love

Got a double cheese and it was great, the buffalo wings are better than WingStop. The pricing is fair and straightforward service, very polite and easy good environment. I will be coming back, very filling. read more

Best wings ever , best ranch . Made to perfection . Wing sauce is amazing best ever . New York wings

havent been here in a while . Meat was skimpy on the sandwich . Not very tasty for a steak sub . French Fries were good and crispy . Service without a smile . Place was clean and a typical sub shop ambiance . Prices were good but the sandwich was just not a good steak and cheese read more

I came here again with a plan, and it did not work. Pastrami sandwich was terrible. Wings were average to a little above. Food is affordable, but low quality. read more

Hot italian beef sandwich was very good . The bread is soft and fresh . The fries are good and crinkle cut .

Great! Amazing!! Delicious subs!!! A friend told me about this Sam's Sub Shop as I was talking about childhood memories. My dad & I used to go to one in Roseville. He would get the Nacho Steak Sub and I would get a cheeseburger. 25 years later, this is not the same location or owners, but a similar delicious flavor! Surrounded by many businesses, SSS is in a huge parking lot. I walked into a shop where covid safety regulations are still practiced. All the tables pushed aside because indoor seating is not available. They have a huge menu board on the wall with many items to choose from. Cold subs, hot subs, burgers, sides, and fountain drinks. My dad & I got a Nacho Steak Sub and my friend got the Steak combo. We added on one side of curly fries because we just wanted a taste and knew our hot subs would fill us up. Our food was cooked fast and tasted delicious! The curly fries didn't make it home, lol! Our subs tasted great! As a personal preference, we think next time, we will ask for the buns to be toasted. Can't wait to try more subs now that I'm older...(as a child, I used to only order the cheeseburger, lol) read more

They specialize in beef sandwich, real thin sliced beef not (steakums),really good bread,very generous and the price is unbeatable. Large meaty sandwich for under 11 dollars.we drive over 25 minutes for these sandwiches because their worth it! read more

A large menu of subs and drive in favorites. All reasonably priced with 3 size options for the subs. Had a #13 Philly and it was pretty good. Interior is no frills but still clean and well maintained. Service is prompt. A good place for lunch or wings when you have the munchies read more

While most of the items told us exactly what was in them the BLT&TA doesn't mention it has mayonnaise on it which is something we don't eat in my household, and since I didn't know until I got home it was to late to call and get it replaced. No one wants to deal with a teenager who can't eat the food they ordered. read more

Never had anything bad here. The cheesesteaks are amazing. The cold subs are just as tasty. All the sides are generous and tasty as well. Give these guys a try. read more

It was great tasting like always been only thing this done since i went a long time ago was not to much meat thats only bummer other yhan that awesome place read more

They have an good-looking, extensive menu. I tried the chicken sub with grilled onions and peppers--it was delicious with fresh, well-prepared ingredients--and it was reasonably priced. The service is not super friendly, but it is fast. As a new customer, it would have been nice to be told where the condiments are without having to hunt them down. The place is clean and the atmosphere is okay. They do need a better lock on the bathroom door, and their fountain drink area should have ice available. Overall, the location and the memory of my delicious sandwich will get me back there for lunch. read more

Sam's sub shop is a small whole in the wall in Arden. It is located in the shopping center next to the Walmart grocery store. There is plenty of parking. When I walked in, this restaurant had quite a few customers. When you walk in, you would initially be unimpressed. The place lacks nice decor and has old furniture. Their menu doesn't look that special. But when you try the food you will be surprised. I ordered the New York style wings and the prolly cheese steak (small). The prices are great and the portions are great too. Service is great and I got my order quickly. I would come back to eat here. read more

Sam's Sub Shop - 9.Hot Pastrami Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

Support local businesses! That's exactly what I do wherever and whenever possible. And "Sam's Sub Shop" is definitely no exception. I've heard about this place for quite some time. However, they just don't get the type of love they deserve. Especially a family-owned and operated sandwich shop that has been around for over a decade and less than 100 reviews??? C'mon people, stop supporting the bigger chains! Sandwiches? Check Chicken Wings? Check Cheesesteaks? Check Located directly on Marconi Ave. (and adjacent to Fulton Ave.) in the heart of the Arden/Arcade neighborhood of Sacramento, Sam's is definitely a little hidden gem. The best way to find this place is that they are within walking distance to the Walmart Neighborhood Market while sharing the same parking lot as Burger King. I came here around 12:00pm on a Saturday. You would think it would be slammed with hungry customers. Surprisingly, there was only one other customer enjoying their lunch and no other customers in line. The layout of this place is small, yet effective. The inside is very no-frills and almost reminiscent of a 1980's-style decor complete with faux-wood trim and tables and chairs that you'd find at a vintage faire. However, they do offer a generous condiment bar, self-serve fountain machine, a TV for viewing, and restrooms towards the back of the restaurant. But don't let the plain look fool you as this place has a generous menu with very well equipped prices. And this is why Sam's is a winner in my book. They have some of the best prices on everything! You can get a variety of 6" hot & cold subs (as well as a Philly cheesesteak) for $4.59, a corn dog for $1.99, a cheeseburger for $3.99, and even fish & chips for a mere $4.99! Additionally, their famous New York-style Buffalo chicken wings are just $7.59 for a 10-piece! In other words, Sam's has far lower prices than major restaurant chains such as Subway, McDonald's, and Wing Stop. Since I was in the mood for a sandwich, I settled with a 6" size of their "Meat Combination & Cheese" (for $4.99). This included four types of meats; Italian salami, Danish ham, turkey, and roast beef. This included provolone cheese complete with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, and their signature submarine dressing. And this was also packed in a soft Italian roll. Once adding chips & a drink, my grand total came to just under $10. Since there was nobody else ordering, my sandwich arrives in about 3 minutes! I do have to say, they were very generous with the portions. The meat slices hit the spot as you definitely get your moneys' worth. And this was just a small 6" sandwich! You can also order the medium 9" and large 12", respectively. Many other Yelpers also raved about the wings so there will definitely be a return visit here soon to try those out. Overall, "Sam's Sub Shop" is an exceptional independent restaurant that did not disappoint. They also have generous hours being open Monday-Friday from 10:30am-8pm and Saturday from 11am-8pm. They are, however closed on Sundays. They also offer phone-in orders as well as fax orders. And even a few beers on tap. So if you're looking for a place that won't burn a hole in your wallet, I'd definitely give Sam's a try. My rating, a perfect five stars. read more

This place is possibly invisible. I live a mile from the place, I go to the neighboring businesses regularly, and yet I had never seen or heard of the place until yesterday. I was scoping for wings on Yelp and this place came up. The place is a dive. Decor is minimal. They have a couple of menu boards and a medium-size television and that's about it. Me and my 12 year old went there because we were craving wings. We wanted to try some place we had never tried and this was it. We each got a 10 piece. The boy got BBQ and I got Hot. We both enjoyed the wings. In fact, the hot wings were the best I've had in a while. They were just slightly hotter than your average hot wing, but pleasantly so. We all know that wing prices are through the roof lately so getting 10 wing sections for 11 bucks was quite a bargain. I recommend giving this place a try if you are a wing fan. read more

The PHILLY CHEESESTEAK is my favorite hot sandwich and this non-chain sub shop makes it best. The bread is always soft, the condiments are generous, the steak and swiss cheese (my choice of cheese), along with peppers, onions, mushrooms is mouthwatering. They also have my favorite sides: fried zucchini and mushrooms. Only takeaway, i want more of the house ranch for home! I need to ask if i can buy a mayo jar full because it blows the bottled stuff apart. They also make their chicken wings taste superior to anything i make, trying to crack the code, no luck so far. I dont do spicy but the medium sauce is a kicker. Thanks so much! read more

I decided to check out the reviews after eating here last week and saw that my experience was not an isolated one. I came here specifically for the Cheese Steak sandwich and also ordered the "Railroad" which is the BLTAT...whatever, onion rings and bacon nacho fries. Cheese Steak was dry, barely had any cheese and a HUGE doughy bun. Not good. Railroad was possibly the worst sandwich I've ever ordered. Same bun as the cheese steak, ONE SLICE of turkey, 3-4 pieces of bacon, and paper thin avocado slices. Bacon nacho cheese fries were served deconstructed in the to-go bag and was missing the bacon. Onion rings were decent. I really WANT to support small businesses, especially right now, but you also deserve to get a decent meal for your money. read more

I have to post a bad review about one of my favorite places to get food, sadly not any more!! I've been going there for years I've taken at least 15 or more people there thru the years. I always order the large Philly steak an cheese because it was stuffed to where the meat was literally falling out it more than filled the bun. And I could eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner or lunch the next day and I could have all the pickle slices I wanted because they were in a big ol bucket and they were free! there were containers you could serve yourself, and I noticed when I went there in January that the weren't as full of meat as they used to be! There was more bread at the end of the sandwich still I went there because it was good and the crinkle fries and the pickles made up for the lack of meat and cheese. But today I ordered the same large steak & cheese and the fries. I figured I would get the pickles when I picked up the order I had 2 other orders with mine so more pickles right? Wrong, not only did you have pay for pickles the prices went up!! (the second time in my years of going) and it was the WORST sandwich I had in the history of going. The meat and cheese was alot less than before alot less there was so much bread!!! And the meat was burned!!! Never before was it burned it was soft and enjoyable. I could see it was burned when I took it out the wrapper. So prices raised, burnt meat, less meat, and pay for pickles that was free all the years I went there, it was so bad I gave the other half to my dog!! my friends sandwich had big ole chunks of tomato it looked like the ends of the tomato they both removed them from thier sandwiches and they had different sandwiches A Pastrami and a Sam's special I will NEVER go there again or take anyone there. I'm glad I didn't get a drink. read more

I really hate writing bad reviews but I really don't want anyone else to spend their hard earned money on something that just is not a good deal. Here's why: 1. My husband got the "Railroad" which was literally one (I am not kidding) slice of turkey on each half and two or three 2-inch long thin strips of bacon (and this was on a 9" sub) and 4 tiny slices of avocado that were literally sliced thinner than I've ever seen an avocado be sliced before. The one slice of American cheese was also only about 1.5 mm thick. My husband called it the "cheapest sandwich" he ever had and he wasn't talking about the price. It was actually comical. 2. I had the meatball sub which had cheap provolone on it (you could tell because melted it was almost transparent and it didn't taste like anything) and flavorless sauce. I put a ton of salt on it and ate it without the bread because... 3. The bread is weird. It's almost cake-y it's so spongy and thick and without flavor. I don't even know what it would be called. I feel like I'm being super mean here and I hate that but what I am writing is honestly true. And we actually got two sandwiches each to have for later because we thought they would be good based on all the reviews. So there went $40+ since it's just not good. I don't even want to try the second sandwich. Back to the review... 4. The wings.... meh. Soggy skin. Sauce was decent but we got 15 and I basically had to beg for an extra blue cheese dressing. It came with two little ones. Little. 5. The blue cheese dressing was so watered down it just dropped off the wings. 6. About the service... if someone orders $40+ worth of food, asking for an extra tiny portion of dressing should not be met with begrudging grumpiness. We were polite, we tipped when we ordered, so I just don't know... We feel ripped off. And I only write reviews for really good or really bad situations since anyone can have a bad day. But this was not a bad day since it was about how they portion things and the actual quality of the food. And I still wouldn't write anything bad, especially about a local small business, except that I don't want anyone else to spend money they work for on something so obviously not worth the money. 7. I just checked my second sandwich which was supposed to be a veggie but with provolone and "extra" American (which I did actually pay extra for). One thin slice of each on each half. The provolone is so thin that you can see the tomato through it!! See the photos. Anyway, this has been long enough, way longer than I expected to write but... wow... I really don't get the good reviews. Try this place at your own risk. read more

Sam's Sub Shop - Jersey special with barely any meat - Sandwiches Near Me - Sacramento, California

He is not honest and very rude. I have been in there a few times trying to give a ma and pop place business. Never again. I don't mind him being rude, maybe he doesn't know English. I ordered a large sandwich, a small sandwich, 15 wings and chicken nuggets. The chicken nuggets were three dollars and I got four. WTH. I paid for 15 wings and only got 10. When I first picked up the sandwiches I knew it was a light. He was like "oh! I forgot your chicken nuggets." So I waited for them. When I got home I noticed that I was missing my small sandwich too. I would've been missing two items. I think they are shady. read more

My husband and I ordered here today. Both sandwiches were much smaller than expected. I got the meatball sub and it was ok. However, my husband got the BLTCT&A Sub and it was hands down the worst sandwich we've ever gotten. There was one tiny piece of turkey, plastic-looking cheese, and the bread was so stale it was inedible. It's astounding that anyone who makes sandwiches professionally thought that this was an acceptable thing to serve a customer. read more
