I love Sub City on the Hill. They have the best sub sandwiches in Eastern Iowa. Everything is fresh and seasoned just right. Subway may have more vegetable options, but Sub City has fresh veggies, meats, and cheeses that are awesome. I have dealt with them a number of times for catering, and they have discount options for UNI student groups, and they are really helpful and professional. read more

Great sub joint to check out in the CF area. The husband and I stopped by quickly while in the area. I had #3 and my husband had #2 both toasted. The service was prompt and friendly. The interior is simple. If you are in the mood for sandwiches, go check them out! read more

Always great here. I miss not being close, but whenever I am in town this is my first stop (and frequent stop).

Great sandwiches. Number 32 is really good. Highly recommend trying it. Plus service is also great and fairly quick. read more

My favorite sandwich shop in the Cedar Valley. I love coming in for lunch. Always fast service and the sandwiches taste fresh and the bread always is on point! read more

Came to Cedar Falls this past week for the Iowa National wrestling tournament and had a great time! Coming to Sub City was a huge relief. The sandwiches were great and everyone working there was awesome. I hope we are able to come back again next year read more

Best bang for your buck. Fresh High quality ingredients. Puts the chain stores to shame. Top notch service. Ordered sandwich to go.

My absolute favorite sandwich place to go. I can't think of any other place to go when thinking about sandwiches. Jimmy John's and Subway cannot compare to this place. The #31 steak and cheese is to die for. read more

The sub rolls were marginal. The ingredients were ok or better. Plastic everything with foam cups which eco folks abhor. Nothing really bad, nothing really great. Counter service only. read more

My visit was exactly what I would've expected out of any sub city location. This is the first time I've been to this location on College Hill. Parking on College Hill can be difficult so it's good to know that there is a metered parking lot behind the building. Plus there's a back entrance which makes it way more convenient. Inside it's not about the Decore it's about the food. I was able to quickly and efficiently order my food and was in and out of there in no time. I wouldn't say the employees were super friendly by any means but they knew their job and got me what I needed quickly. The fact that they sliced or meet right in front of you makes all the difference in the world. Sub city subs have a unique flavor that I have never found to be duplicated. I always order my sandwiches with the works which means it comes with lettuce tomato onions and oil and vinegar and salt and pepper and oregano. Fantastic combination that really sets the sandwich off. read more

great fast service in such a remote area, good quality compared to subway. really enjoyed

Sub city has amazing huge sandwiches at a great price for the amount of food you receive. If you are looking for a big sandwich fast then define give this place a shot. It is definitely worth it. read more

Not a bad little deli and a good place to go to fix a capocollo craving! Plus, they slice the meat and cheese per order. Delicious! I always get the #3. It's my favorite. Sometimes the employees seem a little scattered, but it's all good. Just go with the flow. It's a sandwich! Frequently go back. Will continue to go back. Would highly recommend over a chain sub shop! read more

They don't clean the meat/cheese slicer off between uses...or at all. Not once did they grab a spray bottle and a towel and use it. And it was dead inside. I worked at a deli and you always had to wipe the cutter down between uses to prevent buildup so it was easier to clean at night when you took it apart for sanitation. Their cutter had a bad buildup....GROSS. Not sanitary at all. Hopefully, they don't make anyone sick (Listeria anyone?). Oh and they tried to overcharge us... No way. read more

Don't get me wrong- I love Sub City. I love supporting local businesses and I love the amazing food I get here. But the best part about local businesses is their service- and the Main St. location of Sub City is lacking good service. Two people working during the lunch rush hour, two of the pop sprays weren't dispensing pop, just carbonated water. The workers weren't very personable, and they only talked to themselves unless asking about our order. also, parking is a hassle as always downtown. read more

Another thing I miss about home is Sub City! Every time I come back it's a toss up between Pablo's and here for food. Sub city never disappoints. They pack on the ingredients, I could barely keep my sub together it was piled so high! Always delicious and always friendly people hooking it up. They also have free wifi if you want to hang or grab it to go and enjoy a brew at Octo across the street! read more

My favorite sub place in town. Its fresh meat and cheese is unparalleled in this area, as they freshly cut it right in front of you every time. You can tell they put love into each and every submarine sandwich. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it lacks choices of bread and select toppings. Excellent place, check it out! read more

Sub City - a sub sandwich cut in half - New American Near Me - Cedar Falls, Iowa

Sub was spot on and fresh balanced bread, crisp veggies and meat cut there on the spot! The floor was clean and welcoming environment with helpful staff! (I hate the texture of styrofoam when I declined a drink because of this, Chris? went to the back to get me a plastic cup for my water! Very sweet) what more can you ask for? read more

Kyle & Michael were so personable & made me feel at home. This was my first time here & I couldn't have had a better experience. Haven't tried my good yet but I'll let you guys know. read more

This place is pretty neat, I mean, I come from your standard fare subs - the commercialized versions you find in any standard strip mall parking lot. That being said, anyplace that will deli slice up your meat and cheese right there in front of you--every single time!--is pretty damn awesome. read more

This is my favorite sub place in town. In my honest opinion it blows Subway, Jimmy Johns, and Quiznos out of the water. I've only been here twice but each time has been amazing. The ingredients are always fresh and the staff is super friendly! Love Sub City. read more

Delicious sandwich! 110% better than Subway any day! Quick in and out service. I love that they grate the meat and cheese right in front of you, so that you know the food is fresh and hasn't been sitting out for hours or days. Best sub place in town! read more

I absolutely love this place...Unfortunately tried going shortly after 11am Sunday and it was locked...figuring they forgot to unlock the door I knocked...they said they were too busy with a large order but let us in. ..then 5 others walked in behind us and they scoffed and said "this is exactly what I didn't want to happen".... they threw our stuff together and we left...I understand the stress of the big order...but it was pretty ridiculous and uncomfortable. read more

Best sub shop in Iowa hands down. Fresh ingredients, great menu and they deliver. Stop by if you're ever in Cedar Falls.

Best sub shop in Cedar Falls...they deli slice the meat and cheese in front of you (think Jersey Mike's) so everything is fresh. I used to come here on an almost daily basis when I was in college, and am happy to report that things haven't changed over the last ~10 years. Can't go wrong with the #6. read more

Good eats plus free scraps for the pup! Can't go wrong.

I am a regular customer, although for the last four weeks I have attempted to get a #10, which needs to be toasted because of the bacon. Although each time I have gone in they continue to tell me the toaster will be fixed later in the day. This was four weeks ago. I don't mind that they have been having problems with the company to fix it, but the fact they continue to say it will be fixed later on in the day is a little annoying. If you are looking for a warm sub I suggest Firehouse Subs. read more

Great service. The place is really cool! When you decide the sub that you want they cut the meat and cheese right in front of you. They keep the slabs of meat and cheese in a fridge right by the counter and use a big slicer to cut it right in front of you! The price isn't too bad compared to all the other sub shops! I would definitely suggest this place over Subway any day! read more

The worker who helped me when I came in (wishing I would have remembered his name) was awesome and inviting when I first walked in. I actually didn't know that I started at the end closest to the door so he kindly explained where to begin with the sandwich making. This was the first time I've ever been here not drunk (which I think has only been like twice) either way, I love that this place slices up the meat in cheese right in front of you, only down side is there isn't a choice of SPINACH!! I would prefer spinach over shredded lettuce but all in all the sub was stupendous and filled me up. P.S. love that they still use styrofoam cups, for some reason it keeps the drink cooler longer. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

My wife and I live in CF and love their subs. The only problem is there is very limited parking on the hill. I am handicapped and cannot walk far, like one block. Pleas% consider another CF location with a lot more parking. read more

I was gone for the summer and was pleasantly surprised to see the same girl working when I came back. This place usually has a high turn over rate from what I have picked up over the last few years. Keep that girl happy Mr Manager! Didn't catch her name but I doubt anyone else has worked there longer than six months, however just in case, pink haired girl with glasses deserves a raise. read more

First off the lady working there yelled at us of get in and shut the door when it was already packed. Overall was there for 22mins with slow service, and average sub. 6.8 out of 10 overall read more

the best sub shop in cedar falls! locally owned with fresh vegitables and meats. i have eaten here many times and never been dissapointed. large portions with frendly staff. my favorite is the #28 ham, cheese, cole slaw and russian dressing with the works. messy but fantastic. read more

Solid subs with good, fresh deli meat. Toppings leave something to be desired in terms of quality and selection.

Best sub in the area. Pretty good prices, straight forward menu. The service is hit or miss depending on who's there. It's mostly college kids, so sometimes good sometimes bad. The subs are awesome though, love the turkey pepperoni provolone. read more

Best subs around! They have the meats and cheeses in the refrigerator and they cut them right in front of you. The service is always great and very fast. There's both a Jimmy Johns and a Subway in the surrounding area, but I would recommend Sub City over both of these any day! Both overall quality and price are much better. read more

Best subs in town. Fresh baked bread from Johnson's Bakery in Waterloo, fresh local ingredients, deli-sliced in front of you, very friendly and attentive staff will add the toppings, sauces and dressings of your choice. Daily soup specials, cookies, chips as well. I've been eating here for over twenty-five years, and it has consistently maintained its quality and competitive prices throughout that time. read more
