    Stuffy's is a family favorite. I've been coming to Stuffy's locations since I was a child and am sad most have closed but so grateful this location is going strong. The Great Garden and Virginian are our favorites. It has a nostalgic vibe, with a few arcade games.

    **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.

    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..

    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.

    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.

The inside of the store was old school setup with booths and a huge full service bar. 15 minutes within opening, the restaurant was full in capacity. The menu had lots of exciting brunch dishes, appetizers, salads, soups and deli section as well. There were plenty of cocktails, beer and wines choices available too. Prices were decent. I picked the Jewish Sailor that was a combo of toast with pastrami and beef sausage with red onion and mustard. When the dish came, it looked so scrumptious. Loved the flavor of the pastrami, the crunchy sausages, crispy toast bread, coleslaw all of it. I also got to try the pierogis that were delicious as well. The service was good overall. Our waitress was attentive, while managing several tables at the same time. The dishes came out quickly despite being busy. Overall the experience lived up to the expectations.

Doesn't really look good. Ordered the Reuben and onion rings to share. Reuben's are typically very large. This was a small Reuben and for sure could have eaten the entire thing. Onion rings were a bit soggy and table didn't like their fries either. The Reuben, though small, was very good. Service was quick and waitress was nice. The place is quite expensive for wha you get. We got 3 sandwiches, 2 with fries and 1 with onion rings, 2 waters and a sprite. It was $52. I think that is a bit high especially looking at size of sandwich but the were delicious.

The food is always spot-on. I have had several opportunities to go in on weekdays as well. The general vibe is slower, though the food comes out fast. Always several clusters of retirees and several pairs of business folks talking in hushed tones. On these days, even if you haven't been in in months they make you feel like a regular. This is Yelp, so I need to recommend a few things to order. Their chef salad is HUGE. The club sandwich is a great offering. And the one you'll skip over but shouldn't is the Adkins Special, which is 3 eggs and 2 meats (or 2x one meat) -- no bread, no fruit, no potatoes. Sometimes you just need to go all proteins! Anyway, all of these are great options. Also, their "numbered" deli sandwiches are all good choices. We remain regulars. Although I have only checked in about 40 times we are there at least twice a month. If you see me come say hi!

    We went to this place for the first time tonight and OMG‼…read more RUN....do not walk to the New York Deli!!! It's right next to the Byrd Theater so it was perfect for dinner after a movie. Our server was Braxton, a delightful young lady. She was witty and a diligent server and all the things...and she did not steer us wrong when it came to the food. My husband and I both had a taste for ordering an Italian sub and Braxton said we would not be sorry if we ordered it, and we were not. I was literally moaning with almost every bite. I am a potato salad connoisseur. I will not eat it unless it is freshly made. I don't do any of the grocery store type of potato salads. (Gross!) I asked Braxton about it and she said that in general, she doesn't even like potato salad, but at this restaurant, she absolutely loves it and highly recommends it. Knowing it is freshly made on site, plus her recommendation, I decided to try it. Oh my word! This potato salad is straight from the portals of heaven. Sooooooo good. This might not seem like a big deal, but it's a very big deal to me. I like freshly brewed tea. Nothing bottled. Nothing out of a soda machine. (Disgusting!) I asked Braxton if the tea was actually brewed there and she said yes. Tea is not the same everywhere. Sometimes it's so weak, you don't even realize it's tea. Not here! It was perfect. This makes a huge difference to me as when my beverage is perfect, I enjoy my meal a lot more. The entire meal was top notch. The service was absolutely excellent. We loved having Braxton and would ask for her again. A DJ was setting up as we were eating. We learned that they have karaoke and trivia nights earlier in the week as well as dance nights on the weekends. My husband and I mentioned that we would definitely come back and bring friends. I loved my experience here and it could not have been made any better by anything.

It is fast casual - you order at the kiosk and grab a place to eat, listening for your number and/or text to alert you the food is ready. We arrived about 6pm on a Saturday night. It was busy and I grabbed one of the last two tables. It got very busy shortly after we placed our orders. The dining area is pretty big with plenty of bar seating around the windows. While we all ordered one after the other, our food didn't come out that way. Most of the food came out in about 25-30 minutes. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy! Two people got tenders and three of us got sandwiches. The OG sandwich was very good, just messy! I ended up using a fork and knife bc it got too messy. The Mac and cheese was made with pimento cheese and was very good. My friend who got the fried green tomatoes said they were delicious and filling. Lots of goodies on top. Two friends enjoyed the collards. The only person who was underwhelmed was the person who got the Asian sandwich. Overall, if I wanted a good chicken sandwich and a Buttermilk and Honey was nearby, I'd place an order.
