Not too often where you can eat dinner while playing video games in public. This is definitely a shame-free environment for sure. I was re-living my 90s video game memories by playing classics on the Super Nintendo emulator. Lot of classics, but super shout out to Donkey Kong Country 2, that I easily remembered after years. Anyhow, in between playing video games I went for an Eggplant Parm hero. There were some other interesting veggie choices - pasta, veggie burger, etc. - but I thought this one fit the bill. I was quite busy playing the video games that the food was secondary. However, I didn't hate a single bite of it. That's a good sign. Love reminiscing over childhood nostalgia playing video games! read more

This was a great experience for catering! They have so many catering options on their website, and when I called they were also extremely helpful in answering questions and walking me through everything. I ordered a few 3 ft subs which were perfect for our large group. 3 Ft speciality subs are $80 and for an extra $10 they will cut the sub. They also charge a delivery fee of $25. They delivered right on time which was much appreciated. Everyone loved the sandwiches - we ordered a fully loaded Italian sub and a chicken cutlet sub. Overall this was a solid pick and I'm happy I placed a catering order here. read more

This was a solid sandwich restaurant that lets you build your own sandwich or choose from some of their premade menu options. My friend and I came here post lunchtime in need of a quick Sammy to hold us over until dinner and this did the trick. The inside decor was a lot of fun with vintage posters and 90s memorabilia around and my favorite part was the vintage video games at the tables that you could play while you're waiting for your sandwich to be made. I played super Mario world and it brought me back to my childhood, but I was also irritated because apparently I suck at video games now I posted a video of me playing super Mario party on Instagram and everybody made fun of me because I wasn't good. We ordered a turkey avocado sandwich and I appreciated that the bread roll was soft and didn't tear up the roof of my mouth like French rolls or Dutch crunch often do. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm eating knives that slice me up. The darling woman making our sandwich was kind and she complimented my singing. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I was singing along to the 90s throwback music that they were playing.. She made the sandwich and she liked my singing and that made me feel good about myself, which I really needed since I'm apparently bad at video games now. Overall, this seems like a decent option for lunch during the week. The sandwich came out quickly. There's entertainment to keep you occupied while you wait and lots of customizable options to ensure you get the sandwich your heart desires. read more

Sub Culture - Vintage video games! - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I had been wanting to visit Sub Culture's fun space for years, and it is still on my list, because I recently had the pleasure of sampling their catering, but not on-site. I tried a piece of one of their massive sub sandwiches that included breaded chicken cutlet, mozzarella cheese, and roasted red peppers on crusty, sesame-topped semolina bread. It was delicious!! Now I have to go to their playfully-decorated storefront to try additional options from their creative menu full of pop culture references, or as their website exclaims, to see "where food and pop culture collide"! read more

Fantastic sub shop! The menu has everything you could ever want, probably more than you can even take in, so study up in advance. Subs are priced on the higher end, but you get what you pay for. Nice fresh bread, beautiful cuts of meat, and the perfect layer of condiments. They were sadly out of the Muffaletta bread, but it was fantastic either way. I topped it off with a peanut butter milkshake that was blended to perfection. The service was wonderful. And I really enjoyed the decor, movies playing, and vintage games to play. Wish I had known about this spot sooner! read more

I ordered the breaded chicken sub via catering at work, so it seemed the catering options available were more simple than the typical menu options. My colleagues and I all agreed we weren't a fan, but again we may be biased off the catering offerings. The breaded chicken sub I ordered was cold; for a breaded chicken sandwich it was meh cold; when I heated it in the microwave it was better though. The Italian bread we chose for our sandwiches didn't taste good quality; very much cafeteria subway bread and much more bread than meat. My colleagues' sandwiches had very little meat in it! read more

Sub Culture - Breaded Chicken Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I was excited to see the great reviews for this place when I chose them to cater an office lunch. Unfortunately, this was so disappointing that the office called me days later to complain. I also thought my sandwich was really bad. I chose the eggplant sandwich, which was 90% bread and 10% eggplant that was mostly 90% breading itself! Didn't help me impress the office at all. Delivery was friendly and timely, but that was the highlight of the experience. read more

Ok let me first start off by saying the place inside looks cool AF! The artwork, the space, the video games you can play and all the extra stuff you can buy like POPS and signs. So cool! The owners mom was present and she's a lovely lady who def knows how to cook. I ordered something small and my friend ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich and it was 10/10 for both. The seasoning added to the macaroni salad along with the tuna was delicious. Then the sandwich ....oh man the chicken cutlet was cooked perfectly . Did I mention it's also BYOB! So, while you play video games and eat a sandwich you can have a nice cup of booze of your choice. Can't ask for a better combination . HIGHLY RECOMMEND !! read more

Extremely disappointed. Ordered the Soprano and a Ross Geller. Neither sandwich was particularly tasty or had quality fresh ingredients. The bread was an absolute embarrassment- very mealy (stale?) and bland. You'd figure a sub shop would know to bake bread. Will not be back. read more

We are Chicago transplants but also movie fans and fans of games and popular culture- the food was delicious and authentic, service was wonderful and the ambience is so much fun! There are game tables and posters everywhere- it's a blast. Highly recommend! read more

Overpriced . Cut the retro shtick and offer reliable fairly priced sandwiches. 416 for an italian beef? RU kidding me?

Just ordered via UberEats. Ordered the Muffuletta, 1 Ring to Rule them All app sampler, and a Diet Pepsi. The best part of my order was the Diet Pepsi. 1 Ring to Rule Them All - awful. Really really bad. The mozzarella sticks are the texture of cornbread. I think air frying is a terrible idea for these items. Chicken tenders were burnt and nasty. Fries were soft. Onion rings (there were two actually....) were burnt. Fried ravioli is nasty. I threw the whole thing away. Muffuletta Man - this bread is so damn hard to chew. My jaw actually started clicking. The flavors are good but I can barely chew the bread! I did like that they called to confirm the order. That's about it. read more

I stepped in to pick up a late lunch the day before Thanksgiving. Staff were nice and friendly. I had a cheddar open-faced tuna melt and husband had some kind of roast beef dip sandwich. I really liked my tuna melt and it's a very large portion size for the price. I do wish their pickles were a bit more ... fresh? The pickles we got were very limp and felt like they were old. read more

Everything about this place is so much fun & amazing. From the interior of the store, to the menu items names & food itself! I've ordered once before & gotten takeout. Both times food has been fantastic. This time I got an Extra Sloppy Joe and boy oh boy...what a sandwich! It has such a unique taste with the sauce & what I'm assuming are pickles (?) that gave it a bit of a tangy flavor. The beef itself was great and the bread (brioche) was amazing. Definitely a must try if you love sandwiches! Can't wait to try more of their stuff read more

6 Stars and DONE! LOL Well well well. NJ is truly the place where a sandwich turns into a SANGWICH ( a sandwich so good that it belongs in the sandwich hall of fame) Unfortunately I have been limited to ordering via delivery apps, so there are certain items I cannot try ( I am not even going to try to order one of their huge, extravagant milkshakes until I dine in (which will be soon!) The website will show what a cool, movie, TV, and video game inspired place this is in both food, drink and decor. Even the names of all the food & drink items are named after these mediums. A family run business where mom still makes the red sauce ( I'll forgive that they call it gravy here LOL) that goes on the parm & pasta items. Yet colorful, funky, and modern to appeal to all generations. They must have a great bread supplier, because all types we tried were top notch. However, they have some very creative sandwiches where a giant pickle is used instead of bread like the Pickle Rick & Mortadella : Mortadella, coleslaw and Provolone served on a giant pickle. THE FOOD Every item listed below was tried and certified as YUM to the MAX, The Taylor Swift : Taylor Ham & Egg Sandwich ( I had on brioche) where it was huge, with the fluffiest eggs and great quality sausage chunks A Wasted Italian : Ham, salami, capicola, pepperoni, soppressata, prosiutto and Provolone topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, oil and vinegar served on Italian bread. ( named after Goodfellas, if you can't make a cold cut in NJ you need to get a new job....this is very good) Optimus Prime Rib : Prime rib topped with horseradish mayo and au jus. Served on garlic bread ( this was amazing, i just wished they trimmed a bit of fat off) Porkemon Sub : Pulled pork and sharp Provolone with broccoli rabe or spinach. Served on garlic bread. ( Philadelphia may be known for cheesesteaks, but this sangwich is lost as famous..great job!) What I really thing is AWESOME is that most of the fried items are air-fried! Great decision! I would love to list all the cool named items on the menu but this would be the longest review ever. Check out the website. Very cool video. Amazing menu. great pictures of the shop. Can't wait to go. Best of luck & success to the Roda family! read more

Poor service and food quality. Delivered over an hour late and was inedible. When called for an update received no response.

Food is 8/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere/Vibe/Decor 10/10 I really love this place! I want to tell everyone about it because it's just so awesome. The concept really drew me in. It takes someone very creative to come up with something as well as this... But it takes a true bad ass and a really awesome staff to be able to execute. I won't lie, I was really nervous that the food wouldn't live up to the theme and awesomeness of this place but it did. Would have really sucked if the food wasn't good and the place was as cool as it is. Luckily they checked off all the boxes. I posted a bunch of pictures on here and I think that they speak volumes to how cool the spot is. They also have a giant screen playing classic movies that we all love and adore... Oh, and you get to play video games on smaller screens at the high top tables! It's a home run. read more

What a fun place to eat. After a long day at Comic Con NY we ate here to keep the theme of the day. Super heroes, star wars, goonies on the walls, video games in the back and nostalgia everywhere. Clever menu, cute pillows, picture frame worthy doorway and movie popcorn when you get seated. We ordered the following... OPTIMUS PRIME RIB: Prime rib topped with horseradish mayo and au jus. Served on garlic bread. POULTRYGEIST: Grilled chicken breast with huge slabs of mozzarella cheese and red peppers. Served on sub roll. ROBOT CHICKEN: Chicken parmesan smothered in mozzarella and tomato sauce. Served on garlic bread. All sandwiches were plentiful with the right amount of toppings. Mozzarella cheese was oozing off my poutrygeist. Breads were fresh and soft. Yes, the occasional bite may squeeze the guts out, no big deal... its a sub style (Sub Culture). I wish our orders came with some french fries but you have to make a separate order for the "air fryed" french fries. And they were YUMMYYYY!! All sandwiches were served in a metal old skool lunch box, nice touch. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Our waitress put a candle in a shake for the birthday boy and joined in on the birthday song. She took group pictures and made suggestions photo ops. That Woman was a Wonder! Will definitely return for another themed night out. read more

Sub Culture has been on my list of places to try for a while and I finally got to check it out with a friend. Most of the restaurant was closed off, but we lucked out with being able to sit down at one of the tables on the side. Loved the decor, the movies that were playing (along with the complimentary popcorn!), music, and unique menu item names. There were so many options, but the person who served us recommended some popular items like the Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road (chicken francese) and the Soprano (italian). We decided to share a Robot Chicken (chicken parm) and an Optimus Prime Rib. Overall, we thought they were very solid sandwiches and there's enough variety on the menu that would definitely make me come back for more! read more

I like the vibe of this place, huge list of sammies hot and cold. Probably something for everyone.

I usually get the Cluck Norris or the Italian sub and they are always great. I know that this is a sub place but I also love the Andre the Giant burger (huge and super good!) Go in person if you want a quick dose of nostalgia. I thought it was cool that the walls are literally covered in movie posters from the past read more

Great experiences ordering through Grubhub. There's something for everyone, and with a bit of a different quirk to each sandwich. I enjoyed the Freebird, but the bread was a bit dry. The Balboa was amazing all around. I quite enjoyed it. A reliable local sub shop is such a treat to find. I hope to continue finding exciting sub options to try in the future. read more

If you're looking for a good sandwich, look no further. This is the spot you must hit up. The bread was perfectly toasted and layering was balanced for an incredible bite. I'll be interested in trying more of their different sandwiches next time. read more

Love the inside and theme of Sub Culture. Really cool store with a unique menu as well. I ordered the Optimus Prime rib and potato salad. I would say the first half was better than the second. Once I got to the second half of the sandwich, it was one of those times were it was hard to eat the rest due to the richness of the meat. It was great tasting however, and so was the potato salad. A very good lunch spot for sure. read more

Very fun sub/salad/food spot in JC. Ambiance: Super cultured environment, movies on the screen, Nintendo available, cool old movie posters and memorabilia all over the place. Nice spot to chill and relax. The order: GI Joe, American Hero. Heads up, the menu (which is full of fun names) is EXTENSIVE, so take a good look at what you want. Taste: Very good. It was my first time here so I went with the American hero, which is a classic and one that can easily compare to other places. The bread was really great, the food was very good as well. A bit too much oil, but loved it. Service: Did take out, but the woman working was very nice. They give popcorn to patrons that dine in. I wasn't offered popcorn but that's okay. Overall: I'll be back for sure. The menus huge and I can't wait to check it out and see what the menu has to offer. And excited to try a milkshake! read more

Very good sandwich spot! I get the Italian on Italian bread to-go and it was spectacular. Very fast service and will be trying their other hot sandwiches when I get some the Italian. As far as ambiance goes, I have yet to actually eat inside but whenever I go to pick it up I notice a retro gaming set-up with no one ever on it! Seems like a fun little place to hang out. read more

This place is as cool as it could be. I've ordered delivery from them a few times and the food as always been good. So I had to visit in person. Upon entry you enter through a make shift phone booth which was cool. It opens up to a ton of cool movie and tv show posters. The place has some old school video games inside as well. The menu is in a binder and that is even decorated with old school movies and show posters. They have so many sandwich combinations that it's hard to decide. Don't judge (I'm watching my carbs) so I went for the "You Bet Your Antipasto" salad which is a really good antipasto salad. Also, what really moved me was the fries and other apps are air fried ...for us health conscious folks.. the air fried sweet fries were really good and came with a maple sauce. This is truly a go to lunch spot. Wish it stayed open later read more

Staff was great! Very accommodating and friendly. Great environment - will be back again

If you're an 80's kid - this place is like a giant nostalgia milkshake. We (hubby and three kids) walked in to see Eureka's Castle playing on the big screen. The walls are plastered with posters for old 80s and 90s movies and lines with VHS tapes. Along the back wall are tables you can eat at while playing throwback video games. Menus sit inside retro binders and feature items like Buffy the Chicken Slayer. My kids loved this place - from the free buttery popcorn to the games to the kids menu which included a gigantic ice cream sundae at the end with each meal. The sandwiches are awesome. I had the Optimus Prime Rib Sub and hubby had the Nothing Worse than a Wasted Italian. All the meals come inside little lunchboxes. My prime rib sandwich was awesome in its simplicity. Just the right balance of jus to crunchy bread! And the horseradish mayo was the bomb. We didn't get a milkshake but they look gigantic and delicious. Highly recommend this place especially if you've got kids who need to constantly be entertained in order to make it through a meal...! read more

I love a good atmosphere and Sub Culture provides that. As soon as I walked in, I fell in love with the 90's theme. There's also a game station that you can take advantage of while you wait for your food. We ordered the Sloppy Joe in hopes that I could get a taste of Schnipper's when I'm not in the city. It wasn't Schnipper's but it was enjoyable. You get free popcorn too! read more
