Best Philly cheesesteak I have ever had. Well seasoned, generous portion and the ability to cut and wrap each side is perfect. Easily was able to get 2 meals out of one visit! read more

Food was okay, but nothing spectacular to tell friends and family about. Also, the entirety of the inside was dirty, and the bathroom has been non functioning for the last 9-10 months. Oh, and the staff were less than pleasant. read more

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! read more

Large subs and portions on fries. So good value for money. I got the chicken sub and bro got the gyro and said was tasty. Fries were fresh and hot. read more

On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at approximately 11:28 AM, I visited your restaurant and experienced one of the most disrespectful and unprofessional encounters I have ever had in over 30 years of being a loyal customer to this location dating back to when it was Mr. Submarine on West Broad Street. I ordered two steak and cheese combo sandwiches, both "all the way," with fries and two drinks. The cashier did not listen to the order and only rang up one combo. While the sandwiches were being prepared, I politely asked if the bread could be toasted with mayonnaise before adding the steak and cheese the same way I have always received my sandwich at this location for decades. The cashier told me they "couldn't do that." I explained that this has always been how my sandwich was prepared. At that point, a tall bald man who appeared to be the manager -- approached and spoke to me in an extremely rude, hostile, and disrespectful manner. His exact words were: "You are not going to get your sandwich that way. You'll eat it the way I fix it or you don't eat it at all. This is not Burger King. If you want to have it your way, go to Burger King and get out of my line." I remained calm and respectful. I did not raise my voice or respond rudely. I simply stated that I still wanted to purchase the food for the young lady who was with me. She refused to eat after witnessing how I was treated. When I asked to complete the order correctly, he said: "You get nothing. Here is your $20. Get out of my store." This behavior is unacceptable from anyone, especially someone in a leadership position. No customer should ever be spoken to that way especially one who has supported this establishment for over 30 years and even worked for Mr. Submarine in my teenage years. Additionally, I observed no gloves or hairnets being worn while food was being prepared, which raises serious health and sanitation concerns. I believe in treating all people with respect, dignity, and professionalism. I also believe customers should receive the service they are paying for not be insulted, dismissed, or humiliated. This experience was deeply disappointing, and I will not return to this location as long as this individual is in charge. I am requesting that this matter be addressed immediately, as no customer should ever be treated in such a degrading manner. read more

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!!! read more

I ordered a steak and cheese with everything on it because everyone was raving about this place -- but honestly, it was disappointing. The food came out in crumbs from them over-chopping the meat, like they were trying to make a little go a long way. It was also way too salty and overly seasoned. Definitely not worth the hype. I've had much better subs elsewhere. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Sub Central - Absolutely the best Gyro in RVA! - Sandwiches Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

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. read more

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 read more

Decent subs; decent prices. I've dropped in a couple of times and every time there's been a line. Fortunately the staff is amazing and prepares orders in no time. I recommend the chicken cheesesteak; it's filled to the brim with meaty-cheesey goodness. If I had one wish be granted it'd be that they're open on Sundays, because they're perfect for picking up food to take to the river, or a picnic or to one of the the nearby parks. read more

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. read more

I had the Gyro with fries. Fries were perfect. The Gyro had real good flavors, and they're never selfish with the amount of meat. My only criticism is I think the meat needed a little more pepper, and the Gyro as a whole needed more veggies and sauce. Other than that, great job. Definitely would get again!!! read more

Amazing service! I always leave with a smile on my face, I recommend this place if you want good food

Big delicious greasy Italian sub. But not quite NY/NJ style I've been missing. I'll try the gyro or meatball sub next time. It's a solid place. read more

Sub Central. I always thought it was a club where you pick up people who want to be abused and dominated and stuff. I guess I was wrong. Sub Central sells a pretty decent Gyro with tons of meat. For the size that it is, it's not too expensive, but I wouldn't get it again. Especially considering you can't get a smaller version of it. If they sold a mini or half version I'd be way more suited to it. I think with the size and how filling it is, it's good for poorer folks who want to get very full on Gyro. It's in a poor-ish area. The problem is that the meat tasted a bit more like hamburger than Gyro. It wasn't too flavourful. Good and hearty but not amazing at all. Very meaty, and not enough sauce to wash it down. Cool people though. read more

I had such a great experience here for my first time! I really want a cheesesteak sub and saw that this place had great reviews. I walked in and was greeted by someone called "TheBoss" (he may be the owner too!) and he was so so nice -- even gave me a free drink for being a first-timer. I got the cheesesteak sub and fries and I'm not disappointed, it's soooo good and isn't super greasy. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I went to Sub Central on Midlothian trnpke 3 times in 1 week and I live atleast 30 minutes away.

I love the steak & cheese combo, it's so fresh, the lettuce & onions are AMAZING! I can't wait to go back again !!! read more

Got delivered via Uber Eats. Large sandwiches, I'll give them that but not a good Philly cheesesteak. Who puts tomatoes in this?? I asked for no tomato and still got it. Also asked for peppers and didn't get them..ok wait, I got a couple banana peppers. Who uses that in a Philly cheesesteak? I was confused. No Cheese Whiz option. Then there was the dry meat. Fried to a crisp. I do not want crispy ribeye, do u? Fries were gross. No thanks. Just poorly executed all around. Jersey Mike's does a way better job if you're craving a cheesesteak outside of Philly read more

Sub Central - Philly cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I moved to Richmond in 2012 from NY and found Sub Central not too far from my home. When visiting the establishment, I always ordered the gyro or the grilled chicken sub. I had always had a pleasant experience when I visited the restaurant. I have read reviews from others in the past with most of them being great reviews and at other times not so great. The reviews were never in regards to others having concerns with the food but in regards to customer service. I never thought that I would have a negative experience, until yesterday. Yesterday I went in the mindset of ordering 2 gyros and a chicken sub. I asked the manager/owner if it was possible to make the gyros separate. I did not want any of the items placed on the pita bread as the person that it was for was not going to be able to eat it until later on in the night and I did not want it to be soggy. i asked the manager/owner if it was possible to separate the meat, pita bread and vegetables and the sauce. He stated that he could but that it would be an extra fee. when I inquired as to why, he became upset and stated " I put everything on the pita bread. you want me to make an exception for you, but you don't want to pay". i then told him that the sandwich was already over 11, which really made him upset. that's when he told me that people come from all northern va to buy his food. Instead of going back and fourth with him, I left the store. I agree he does have great food, as the items that i have only tried from there, however regardless of how great your food is, if your attitude and customer service is poor then it doesn't matter. Maybe my $30.00 that I was going to spend last night may not have put a dent in his store, the fact of the matter is it is $30.00 less than he had at closing last night. After my experience with him last night, I will never visit his establishment again. I don't know how much good this review will do, but i hope he understands that customer service comes first and regardless of how good your food taste, if your attitude is poor then the taste of your food doesn't count. Its all about customer service which he did not show yesterday. read more

This is a hidden gem for me. Omg! I had a craving for a Italian sausage sub and I definitely found it here. It was everything I wanted and so much more. Onions and peppers hot and fresh delicious. My friend bought the gyro on a sub roll with cheese. The picture doesn't do it justice I tasted a slice of the meat and it was also delicious. I definitely will be going back really soon. Plus, there wasn't a long wait for my order. The staff was very friendly as well. read more

The Sub Central on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond, VA is ! I said is the best place in the Richmond area to get any kind of sub that you can dream of. Real meat! Soft bread! Customer service is always off the Chain! The owner makes everyone feel welcome and he knows most of the regulars by name. Folk really feel special when they visit. I know that I do! I pray that God will continue to bless this restaurant and all of the employees! The employees share the same spirit of the Owner! That is rare these days.

About a month ago, I was having a craving for a decent cheesesteak/steak and cheese in the Richmond area. While traveling along this road, I stumbled across Sub Central. Two and a half years ago, I visited Main Sub Central in downtown Richmond and had nothing but positive reviews for the quality of food there. How did my experience go? To find out, read below: The Good: Opening Hours- On this particular day, I left work around 10:00am and this restaurant conveniently opens at 10:00am. Usually places are still serving breakfast or waiting to serve lunch during that time. But I love eating my lunch and dinner early. Service- I called in my order over the phone and my order was ready sooner than they said it would be. It was hot and I could smell the grease through the bag which was a plus. Price/Portion- I believe I ordered an 11 inch Steak and Cheese "all the way" which meant there was more food than I could finish on my first round. The Sub itself was under $7 which is cheaper than a sub of that caliber would be at a Quizos or Subway in the Downtown area. Taste of Meat- From the flavors of the grease and steak, I could tell that the meat was of decent quality and not something that was prepackaged and frozen 3k miles away. The onions and cheese perfectly complimented the steak as well. The Not So Good: Having Lettuce and Tomato on the Sub- This is a nitpick but to me the lettuce and tomato flavors had taken away from the integrity of the Steak and Cheese. Some may like lettuce and tomato on their subs and I never had it on my sub until this day but I will not make that mistake again. Overall- I like the service, the price of the subs and the taste. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice sandwich shop. FOUR STARS. read more

The reviews on yelp made this place look tasty. A Philly sub for less than $8 bucks, I would be crazy not to give it a try. This "hole in the wall" was not what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed some amazing cuisines in places that aren't the highest class in appearance, but the food out numbers the look appeal. The Philly cheese sub was nothing extraordinary. The meat on the bread was a bit dry and could have used a bit more cheese. Unfortunately, I was a disappointed. read more
