a sandwich on a paper plate
Mark C.

**3.75 It's been years since I've touched base here. I was greeted and helped right away. I chose the spicy Italian sub and added: LTO, pesto, oil and vinegar on an Italian roll, steamed. Good stuff.

This is the BEST old school sub shop. Fresh veggies, meats and bread. The service is unbelievable. The is truly a RVA landmark for food Great prices!!!

Stuffy's
Maria T.

When I walked in, I was hit by a wave of dank, moldy aroma... that should've told me something. This Stuffy's has been around for decades, and frankly, it looks like it. But, my Mom wanted a sub and she rules! So I ordered the Star (like an Italian sub) with double meat. The extra meat made up for the spongy, chewy bread. The lettuce looked past its prime, but the other fillings looked fine. My purse took a hit for the amount of food I received. I wasn't impressed with this sub... but the stars are for the friendly staff. Next time we'll go get stuffed elsewhere.

My disappointing Gyro
Stewart V.

My wife and I had a lunch craving for a Stuffy's sandwich and gyro. We used to love going to the location off of Forest Hill Ave before it closed. Amy reminised about the vinegar sauce mixing mayonnaise and heaps of lettuce on her sandwich. I reminded her of how scrumtious and huge the super gyro covered in tatziki sauce was. To satisfy our craving we set on a mission eat at the one on Midlothian Turnpike only to find out is now another sub shop.. ughh... Ok so we searched online to find that the Libbie and Grace location was open. "To the batmobile Robin" I exclaimed. We arrived and easily found street parking about a block away. It looked nice from the outside and offered some outdoor seating. I love the picture in the mens room. The sandwich order guy offered no smiles but was professional and seemed very knowledgeable about the bread and sandwiches. Of course I went with the Super Gyro ($12) extra tatziki and Amy went with the Turkey and provolone ($7), extra cheese, extra vinegar. We disappointedly watched as he placed a few thin measly pieces of meat on the griddle. (Maybe he thinks I ordered a mini one). I confirmed that I ordered a Super Gyro. Once it came to table. Meh... No effort on presentation, my bread was not a pita. It was thin like a soft taco shell and fell apart as I tried to eat it. Meat had the consistency of a spongy riblet tv dinner. Soooo disappointing.. look at my picture.. :(. Amy's sammich didn't live up to her expectations either. Totally not worth the price paid. We really wanted to like it but couldn't. It would great if there was some consistency across the Stuffy's brand..

3-Cheese Sub with personalized toppings
Clare L.

I have had my fair share of subs in life. This is without a doubt the best sub I have ever had. The bread is sooooo fluffy and amazing and all of the flavors go together perfectly. Stuffy's Subs is a very authentic, old-fashioned, no frills sub shop and it is perfect just like that.

Stuffy's Star
Leah S.

From the outside I wanted to like this place, it seemed like a quaint little sub shop. There were a few people eating lunch outside on their small patio area. When I walked in the shop I was hit with a sense of time warp, back to 1995. There were what appeared to be specials written on a white board hanging on the counter and regular menu on the wall behind it. I don't believe these are true specials in the sense that they change daily. I will give the guy working behind the counter some credit, I asked for some suggestions and he was genuinely helpful, I settled on the Stuffy's Star at his suggestion. The Star is their version of an Italian style sub with Ham, Genoa Salami, Cappacola, Proscuittini, Provolone. The meat is sliced fresh per your order and you pick the rest of the toppings "Subway Style" from the offerings behind the glass. A regular sized sub here will run you roughly $5 plus tax which I suppose it not terrible. I think what ultimately missed the mark for me here was the bread. It was obviously not fresh baked (he pulled it out of a plastic bag) and a bit dry. A good sandwich or sub has to have a good foundation. The meats and cheese were decent but nothing that was artisanal by any means. I only put lettuce (shredded) and a bit of mayo on the sub which did nothing to combat the dryness. Not sure if I'd give this place another go at this time. If they spruced up the menu and got some fresh bread I think it would go a long way to boosting this places sales. They could also stand a little face-lift store wise, but if the food it good they will come regardless as long as it's clean.

I've been coming since about 2010 and I love how much it has evolved and now boasts 3 locations in the heart of the city! the Patterson location boasts the famous lunch counter - with Hans on the grill, you can't go wrong - and the newest addition...breakfast! My obsession - the best soft shell sammy on the coast! It's perfectly fried (not too hard, not too light) and the arugula & aioli pair nicely to make this lunch so memorable. Do like I did & find a spot in the water to enjoy. The market, itself, is my favorite - the fishmongers & butchers behind the counter are so kind and boast a wealth of knowledge to answer questions about sourcing, food prep, and pretty much anything you throw their way. I love the expansion they've done since Covid - it gives you so much space to shop, roam, and even pull up a chair & eat.

And probably why some of their items are pricier than normal. Their location is pretty popular as well so it makes parking challenging, but they do have a lot in the back that validates. That being said my family and I enjoyed our selections and would definitely go back. My husband ordered the Freemason and appreciated that the chicken salad was not overly dressed with mayonnaise. However, he loves his condiments so he would probably order a side of Italian dressing with his lol. I got the farm stand grain bowl, which I thought was fantastic but the roasted chicken I added to it was disappointing. I think because it was roasted, but then refrigerated it got a gamey chicken aftertaste, which kind of messed with the flavors of the salad. It was the first time I've never finished the protein in a bowl I've ordered, which felt like a big waste of $ but I really loved everything else in the bowl-could use more grapes though . The goat cheese was a perfect compliment with a creamy flavor that was not too sharp or distracting. I'm not a fan of strong goat cheese. My son really enjoyed The Lynnhaven and only commented that it would be nice if the chicken was sliced a little more proportional to the bread and other toppings.

I come to taste 3-4 times out the the week!…read more Today at 05:30pm Thursday Apr 9 I had a bad experience with a lady named Melissa.

A WHOLE Club Royale is $12 and some change. I paid $12 and some change for my 1/2 of a sandwich. So of course I asked why is the 1/2 the same price as the whole give or take a dollar after taxes). I said for all of that just give me the whole (which I won't eat because all I can eat is half, hence me ordering half). They told me they didn't know why they were the same price (ish). When I get home I call customer service to express my concern on the prices and how I felt they were pretty much stealing from me because if you are using 1/2 the ingredients there's no way you should be charging me full price. No way! Not cool at all Jason's Deli. Anyway, corporate customer service told me "thanks for your feedback, have a nice day and HUNG UP!" What in the world do y'all got going on. You lost a customer 1st on price gauging and 2nd your corporate customer service. You should be ashamed. For the record, I called back 3 more times to speak to a customer service manager and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone.

The servers were also tending the bar which was getting decent traffic even at lunchtime. My dining partner says there is a pool table in a back room, and that could be fun to fold into a longer visit. The piped in music was light jazz. The menu is oriented around philly cheesesteaks and variations. I ordered the chicken philly, which was large enough to make two lunches (I brought half home.) The flavor was decent, with seasoned or marinated chicken chunks and veggies & cheese on a sturdy roll. It came with a decent serving of chips. We were served a juice glass of room temp water on arrival and no drink order was taken. Negatives were related to pacing. It took a lot of time for the food to come out. We were pushed to eat even half of our sandwiches within the hour my dining partner had for lunch. The server did not check back after dropping the plates, which could have been an issue if we needed more water. And getting the check was a challenge that took way too long considering how small the place is. This is a decent place to grab a sandwich or a drink if you have the time or live in the neighborhood.
