Steak and Cheese Sub
Connie T.

We stumbled upon Sub Central one weekend. We got a steak and cheese and were pleasantly surprised all around. We placed an order on the phone, was asked if we wanted everything on it (grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and mayo), and it was ready in 10 minutes. We made it a combo (fries + drink) for $5. The sub was soft, not super heavy or greasy, and priced reasonably around $10. The fries were great too. The employees were friendly and the place was clean so we decided to eat in. There was a steady flow of customers, mostly doing take out. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area!

Loaded Gyro - Look at all that meat!  There was fresh lettuce, tomato, & onion underneath it all - So Good!

I was in the area for a meeting and was rather hungry, so I drove for a few mins looking for a decent fast food that wasn't the "typical" fried sandwiches and such and as I drove by this parking lot, I noticed all the cars and thought it must be decent, so we stopped in. They were very busy, but only a few people in line ahead of me and then the owner himself took our order. I asked him what's good and he explained that his gyros and fries were amazing, so we went for them. That tzatziki was fresh and tasted so very good! The meat in the gyro was fresh and incredible and the each bite of everything was outstanding! That thing also weighed more than a pound - it was huge! The fries were excellent too, crispy, hot, and fresh! Service was outstanding, so was the food... Highly recommend coming here!!!

Absolutely the best Gyro in RVA!

Amazing food, awesome and friendly owner with a place full of regulars and friends. Gyro was just like Chicago with the meat from a spit and piled high with onions and tomatoes. Get the extra Tazicki on the side and sandwich. Amazing and we'll be back.

This place is owned by a family member of the other Main Sub Central that used to be downtown Richmond. Its owner had told me about it. It didn't disappoint! The gyro is what I come for. Loads of meat, delicious tzatziki, totally satisfying. The staff are friendly and the place is clean and has a good seating space.

Cold cut combo
Steve C.

I've been eating here for over 15 years and it's always the best. The cold cut is the best hot sub ANYWHERE. I moved from Richmond in 2015 but still visit several times a year and a visit to sub central is a must. The owner always remembers me. Asks about how we are. I saw "we" because my children have joined me throughout the years here and he asks how they are as well. The owners parent's cut the veggies fresh still today and he knows almost everyone who walks in. Fantastic dude! The cold cut is the freshest and tastiest hot sub. The mayo, meat, lettuce, tomatoes and onions have always been the same. The bread is toasted perfectly with a soft inner and crunchy outside. Steak and cheese is a staple as well and always stuffed full of meat and cheese. Fries are always hot, crispy and salted right. The ketchup is kept cold for you too. You won't be disappointed.

Hour of operations

Ok I went up to this place on a Friday night around 7:55pm.When I went there the guy locked the door as I was walking to it. I told him I've tried to called numerous of times and got no answer and also yall are scheduled to close @9pm which it was no where close to that time. I stood there and watched employees laugh and joke while me and others was outside upset about the unprofessional behavior that was displayed. It's very unfortunate that it had to happened especially when they get so much support from the neighborhood. DISAPPOINTED AND DISTASTEFUL

Family owned business for almost 50 years. Food is fresh and tasty. You can't go wrong with the cheese steak, the Gyros, or any of the subs. Friendly staff. Super clean restaurant. I can't wait to go back for my sub fix.

RBTH Sub
Renada N.

Plain and simply put this was a d*mn good sub. I ordered using a food delivery app (Uber eats ) while I was at work probably paid a markup but whatever it is what it is, it has nothing to do with this. But whatever I paid it, and the possible app gouging took a backseat to the fact that the sub was BANGING. They did not skip on meat nor the toppings. The bread was just right, it didn't taste cheapo or stale. Also, I ordered a side of fries and in the comment section of the food delivery app I said "please please no salt on the fries" usually if I make a request like that in the app, it's never honored, they honored it. My only critique is: SERIOUSLY, y'all could've thrown in some napkins to help your girl out. I got sub juice on my shirt. I smelt..smelled ...??...I smelled like a musty under arm the rest of my day. My sub eating technique may or may not have anything to do with me needing napkins. I'm just saying it would've been nice. But I crushed that sub. I said I wasn't gonna eat the whole thing but I did. I ate half waited two hours ate the other half and was full 12 hours later. They gave you a lot of fries. I just wanted a couple 2-3 so I gave them to my coworkers. They liked that they were shoestring. If they were hot, they would've been awesome. But IMMATERIAL. The sub was the star of the show. Go get a sub! The next time I'm over there I'm getting a sub. 5 out of 5 stars would recommend

Submarine sandwich

I stopped at this place and got a cold sub sandwich because it reminded me of a spot from back home in Chicago. It was an awesome sandwich - hit the spot for sure! Definitely worth giving a try.

Gyro

I ordered a gyro and I have no complaints. It was delicious, service was quick and the guy behind the counter was very welcoming. A little pricey for the gyro meal but other then that, awesome.

Solid subs, onion rings and fries! Reasonable prices and really fast preparation. Made the subs by the time we got there but made fries and onion rings when I arrived (good ... better fresh!). All the subs are 12" and really big with plenty of meat! Probably could have used more provolone cheese on the steak and cheese as well as tszatiki sauce for the gyro. Both we chose to get without tomatoes but perfect otherwise (my wife likes extra mayo and banana peppers which those are a little extra - 35¢ I think). You could eat there but really seems intended for takeout. Just a little far to get home so the food gets a little not hot that's the only downside.

See all

Fat Kid Sandwiches

Downtown

I had been wanting to try Fat Kid Sandwiches for a long while -- from back when they would do…read morepop-ups at Veil -- but the timing had never worked out. Earlier in the month, I was finally able to check them out for the first time. I had my eye on their Italian hoagie, which is listed under the Cold section, but I know better at this point in time of living in the South and the many Italian hoagies that I have had to refrigerate. So I ordered it without the tomato or peppers and served cold. I ordered it through the bartender, who told me that they do serve them cold and that they were out of peppers that day. Turns out they were not out of peppers and they did not serve it cold. I can't eat peppers due to food sensitivities, so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-made. This was the bartender's mistake, from the receipt I could see that he didn't send those notes to Fat Kid, to be clear. The second rendition was made correctly, and it was definitely tasty, but they are overpriced. It's pretty obvious from my picture that this wasn't some hefty, super stuffed and loaded with meats/cheese hoagie. It looks like a normal 6" hoagie. Not worth $11 for it, in my opinion. I'd rather spend $16 at Stanley's or $10 for a full-size at Mr. Submarine.

The BEST Italian in RVA hands down. I'm so sad that Hatch has now closed but I'm so excited to see…read morewhat fat kid sandwiches does next!!

One bite and I'm instantly transported to South Street in Philly. Stanley's is serving up easily…read moreone of the best cheesesteaks in Richmond. The Stanley's Cheesesteak is the real deal -- shaved ribeye, Cooper Sharp white, onions, and pickled hot & sweet peppers all working together exactly how a proper cheesesteak should. Rich, messy, and packed with flavor. And here's the surprise: one of the best Caesar salads in RVA. Didn't expect it, but it absolutely delivers. Come for the cheesesteak. Don't sleep on the Caesar. Thank me later.

Went to Stanley's for a casual lunch. The setting is nice, located in a corner storefront in the…read moreFan district with nice views of the neighborhood. 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.
