The sandwiches themselves are delicious. Getting things "Mafia style" grants you a huge array of flavor with whatever sandwich you opt for and the price is unbeatable. The staff is also amazingly personable. The bread itself is alright, but allowing for options there would be amazing. Also there was a steady flow of people coming in and out, but things were moving very slowly. (All of this to me is a half-star gripe.) I'm rather baffled by why sandwiches come with honeydew melon. I guess it allows you to get more food groups with a meal though! :) read more

Awful service. 50 minute wait for 2 subs... and managed to mess up. The inefficiencies are painful to watch

I had been here before and bought a sandwichwich with an extra toping for $10.45. This time I asked if they gave a military discount, and the cashier replied "yes." I showed my credentials and the cashier rang me up for the sandwich with an extra topping and still came out to $10.45. When I asked about the discount, I was assured that the appropriate transaction happened. I won't go back or recommend, and that receipt goes on my hall of shame. read more

The service has actually gotten worse!! Be sure to verify the price! According to the staff Yelp picks the menu and the prices. Ordered pastrami special and they wanted to charge $2 more. When I showed him the Yelp page I was told "yeah, that's Yelp and they post the wrong prices". read more

Been coming here for several years and never been disappointed. Staff are always friendly, subs are bomb! They have daily deals on subs too which is cool and saves a couple bucks. I recently phone ordered two 4 foot party subs and they were great in ensuring everything was on point. Put all the toppings on the side and gave plenty of them. I'd eat here over Subway any day of the week. It's a go to spot for subs! When I feel like being a fatty, I'll go with the Sal.. but a great intro sub for anyone that hasn't tried this place is the turkey club. A must try... read more

Sub Machine - Two 4 foot party subs! - Sandwiches Near Me - Lancaster, California

The pastrami sandwich with avocado was just perfect! And the free avocado check in on yelp was awesome.

Quick cheap subs this place is the best their window special deals are killer and their the only place with chipped ice Fast friendly service and they don't mind making your sandwich exactly how you want it Syndicate Philly and super Sal are my favorite read more

Visited this sub shop today! Was a great experience, the young man who helped us was very polite and patient with us a party of 3 ! The sandwiches were exceptional, had the 1/2 lb pastrami special! Everything was fresh and appetizing. Keep up the great work you guys! read more

We've been eating here for years, but just now getting around to a review. I LOVE their philly cheese steak. It is not like a typical cheese steak, so please don't think it is. It's a really good beef, cheese & pepper sandwich with marinara sauce. More like an Italian beef sandwich. That said, the meat is tender & tasty, marinara is delish. I add mayo (seems weird but the extra creamy on the bread is really good), tomatoes and Italian dressing. Had one today after a long while and forgot how yummy it is. Delish! Their salads are really good too. All the ingredients are fresh and their dressings are good. They will toss your salad for you which so few places will do--and that makes it so much easier to eat. My son loves their tossed Caesar and I really like their tuna salad when I'm trying to eat low carb. They put a couple of scoops of tuna, whatever toppings you prefer, shaved Parmesan, on chopped romaine. I have them toss with ranch--very tasty low carb meal read more

The best place for your sandwich craving. Never had a sandwich hot or cold there that I didn't like. The staff is always smiling.

I have not been to Submachine since the shutdown. I was very disappointed with the lack of pastrami on their famous pastrami sandwich. It used to be huge. Tonight's sandwich had more tomatoes, onions and pickles than meat. I won't be going back. read more

I wish the Palmdale location never closed. I absolutely love these sandwiches. The salads are so good too!! Every party we have we order a party sub (club) with all the fixings on the side. Always a big hit! read more

My favorite place to go for a sandwich. They are not stingy with the meat and their sauce is delicious.

My family and I like the sandwiches from submachine. But tonight 8 -26-20 was a different story.There was one guy at the counter helping us ,then a tall blonde to the front with zipper blue pouches and put them by the register,then came to help, i order one kids meal and 4 other sandwiches one the *TODAY SPECIAL* Which was the pastrami, got home started severing the pastrami was cold.(he asked for toppings) but got none. He didn't eat . Gave it to the dogs...Before this they messed up my order and was making a sandwich I didn't even ordered . read more

Poor customer service.. not only from the young kids but also from one of the older ladies.. They don't wear gloves when handling the food in the back or grab dirty wet rags.. no one that works there looks like they're enjoying working in that atmosphere.. the food is good but maybe the team members could smile and be a little more courteous, it's a pricey place to have a salad or a sub at and not get good customer service. read more

Best sandwiches in the Av. Do yourself a favor and get the St.Val. heaven in a bun. Meatball,Italian sausage and pastrami. It's so good with tomato onion bell pepper and olives. My second favorite is the syndicate with no baloney add roast beef with all the fixing. Good prices. Super clean and great staff. read more

So I ordered a pastrami sandwich from sub Machine via Postmates, shame on me! It was a 12" pastrami with pickles only, there was more pickles on the sandwich! There was enough pastrami for a 6" sandwich not a 12" I believe this is how these places RIP you off,through these delivery apps. You don't know what you're getting until you actually get it! I would say next time please send me the WHOLE Sandwich, but there will absolutely NOT be a Next time! I can make my own pickle sandwich at HOME! $18+down the drain! SUB MACHINE....If you're screw people at least kiss them first! Thx for sub service read more

If you love Pastrami that melts in your mouth, then you HAVE to try SubMachine!! This is the only place in the valley that I have gotten a decent Pastrami sandwich, it is perfection. I always get mine like I used to get it at a deli in Phoenix, with only Thousand Island dressing. The mix of salty & sweet is to die for! Great food & friendly staff! read more

Don't go here if you are a first time visitor with dark skin. :( I walked in with my family and was treated like dirt it seemed. The first thing I told the women behind the counter was that " This was our first time here." Instead of educating us about what each sandwich had on top of it they treated us like we were the stupid ones cause we didn't know. I ordered two sandwiches and a children's sandwich. She was so rude when I said my son wanted a chocolate chip cookie with his meal. It was like she felt I should have known the meal included an oatmeal raisin cookie. UM I said I never had been there before! The two women were looking at us like we were nuts. I'm a smart women but I can't read minds and the menu doesn't say at all! I noticed that every one else in the restaurant was white and highly respected it seemed. But we weren't at all. :( The food was just okay -- it wasn't amazing nor horrible. The prices were slightly high because we normally only go to Subway. The only plus I can think of is that they carry raspberry tea ( our favorite ) and have very large cups. I doubt we will EVER go back to a place where we were so unrespected again. I think we will stick with our normal Subway where they aren't mean to people with dark skin and treat US like we are the dumb ones. read more

In a nutshell: For a SUPER crowy attitude crowy sub sandwich... crow, no further. Suggestions: Use fresh ingredients 24/7 AND have an online menu; it could greatly improve business and customer relations. read more

The meat is super processed, the bread is cheap and the service isn't that great.I should have gone to Subway, and I hate Subway....

OMG! Where's the meat? I ordered a 6" club sandwich and received one slice of ham (that looked like something I could get from a discount grocer) and one slice of turkey. It was a lettuce and avocado sandwich on sponge bread. Yuck! read more

Great food at a great price. The salads are HUGE and the pastrami sub is my husband's fav. I agree with Gretchen about the bread not being best (it just never tastes that fresh.) But the toppings and cheese make up for it. Definitely a winner. read more

I'm still upset they didn't honor the free sub. They should have at least offered 10% off. I'll just start going to Upper Crust since they are in Palmdale now. read more

My husband and I were so disappointed with our first visit here. Will not be returning again. Service was slow, employees were rude and the sandwiches had only a little bit of meat. I dont like that they have all the condiments behind the counter, you cant see what they even have. I could get a better sandwich at subway. :/ read more

This place is a bit different then your other sandwich shops in the area and are better for it! Their hot subs are a very satisfying alternative to cold cuts. Great service and font forget to grab some pickles! read more

The worst sandwich I have ever had. It had no meat in it. Lots of vegetables but no meat. I ordered the ham, turkey, cheese, and avocado. and got 1 thin slice of ham, 1 thin slice of turkey, 1 slice of cheese, and avocado, with a couple of scoops of pickles, olives, and onions. They never offered tomatoes, peppers or other toppings. It was slathered in dressing and was pretty inedible. I went back in the next day to complain and was told there was nothing they could do, I had to complain on the day the sandwich was made. I guess customer service isn't very important read more

I see quite a lot of bad reviews but I have to say, this place is really good. I love the sandwiches. The pickles are tasty. I love mom and pop places and get that vibe here. The staff in Lancaster could be a little more friendly at times but it's always a good sign when you go into the place and there is always a line. Overall the food is great. WAY better than subway! read more

We won't be back. Starting with phone-in order issues which management is casting on their provider (recently changed, get rid of these clowns) to incomplete orders and a clavier attitude. Many cast this place as a great shop, they've been coming for years, best in the AV. Last time we tried to place an order over the phone, she was placed on hold and never returned, when I asked at the shop upon my arrival, I was told it gets busy and we don't have time to take phone orders, there was no line when I arrived and the shop only had several in the dinning area. another phone-in issue was hang-up after answering which was cast on as a provider problem. On this visit, unable to call-in our order, my wife reported when she called it went directly to voice mail which hasn't been setup yet, I was able to call the shop while at the shop and witnessed several calls while in the shop. Well not so much, just tolerant customers, I used to think it was the best in the AV but how many issues do I have to put up with before I'm done. My wife's sandwich, a 3-meat KC, is missing the roast beef, my sandwich, an extra meat salami & cheese, had less meat than a regular sandwich because #1 I got a new sandwich maker and yes everybody gets to make a mistake when your new, not planned it's part of learning and they will say their sorry, but to her defense #2, she was told to take the meat from another area, maybe salad preparations, which is cut in half complicating her job because #3 management hasn't done their job in cutting meat for the sandwich side of the operation, anyway you look at it, I was the unlucky recipient of all of this again. Clavier attitude from management, always an excuse, I'm done. Thank you and goodbye. read more

The pastrami is excellent...always a long wait. I gave it 4 stars because the line is situated in between diners in the restaurant and it's really cramped as you wait to order. Also, though you may order ahead of someone that doesn't necessarily mean that you will get your food before them, even though it's made to order. So just be prepared to watch someone who ordered after you receive their food first. read more

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my sandwich and questioned if I could finish it. Loaded and not just with lettuce like other sandwich places. I can't imagine going to another place for sandwich again read more

Love this place! The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. They offer not only a weekly special (or sometimes two) but a daily special. Definitely the closest I have come in the AV to an East Coast sub. The salads are AWESOME and enough for two or three people. The subs are great and the bread is excellent and always fresh. If I had a complaint, it would be that they use cheaper meat and depending on who makes the sandwich, they can be pretty stingy with the meat. The seating is pretty limited, but I have never had to sit outside. They also have a customer loyalty card that is pretty great. Overall, my FAVORITE sandwich shop in the AV. read more

Not the best, but they try...a little more effort and they could increase their sales. Suggestion...don't dice the tomatoes...they fall all over the place and I don't get any in my mouth!!! (Dumb sucky idea! - - 86 that one!) Suggestion- Move that pickle jar! Its right in the middle in everyones way! Suggestion - Move the condiments and napkins off to a table to the side...hard to maneuver around people when you are picking up your order. Chairs are too light and topple easily...Need heftier chairs. (Stay with the armless though...too many hefty people, like me in this valley) Put a bit more meat in the sandwiches...it will increase sales...or keep a light load and heavy load menu...people who are hungry will not mind paying more for a big fat hefty sub full of a ton of meat. Suggestion - The bread you have has ALWAYS been the best....never change it. Suggestion - The store next to you is vacant. You need more room...do you think you could expand??? May really make your place rock this valley...Really think about the "Heavy Load/Light Load Sub Menu"...it may just make you guys a bigger hit...lots of competition out there right now...Less GM on each sandwich but much larger volume in people could resuscitate you again...I support the local businesses here and want to help you out. If you're great, I YELP you, If you suck I YELP you and if you can do better, I will give you honest feedback. Good luck. P.S. your staff made me laugh yesterday...we all had fun. Keep it up. Been a customer on and off many years (since you opened.) read more

Pretty good sub shop. The bread is really good, and they put a good amount of freshly sliced meat on each sandwich. They have specials that they hang a banner in the window and then that type of foot long is $5, not sure if they switch it weekly or every couple days. Service is fast, but not too friendly, sometimes it seems like they are working over each other, but they do get you in and out quickly. Their pickles are really good, but they are on the counter in a jar for everyone to get their own which I do not like. Overall good place to try if you are looking for a new, quick bite for lunch. read more

Great sub spot always fresh ingredients nice staff i love their french dip and godfather(italian sausage and marinara) great soup free wifi and the only place that still has crunchy ice read more

Best sandwich shop in town! Their pastrami is the best and their footling + sandwiches are well worth the cost.

I have been going to the Sub-Machine since 1988 before there were any chain sandwich shops in the valley, their sandwiches have always been fresh and tasty made with top-notch ingredients. I recommend getting your sub with the traditional toppings; pickle, onion, tomato, and Italian dressing. read more

Just stopped by for Tuna, I was appalled when i went to open front door, the handle had a quarter inch of filth and grime from peoples hands, looked like it was never, ever cleaned. Disgusting was an under statement. I brought to lady managers attention, she seemed uninterested to say the least. Proper sanitation and cleaning is a MUST!! Be Adised, use caution when eating here!!!!! Lots of food on the floor too. read more

My favorite sandwich shop in town. Seriously this place is amazing. First off they PACK your sandwich (unlike other places) and the ingredients are always super fresh. They offer daily specials on sandwiches which is awesome! It's a little pricier than subway but it's totally worth it, the dinning area is cute and rustic and even houses some old fashioned looking P.O. boxes you can rent out. Staff is always friendly. read more

I wish I would have taken the advice from the couple of bad reviews. the place was clean, but certainly not worth the price, I got the Turkey, bacon, sandwich, and when he took my sandwich to the back to put the lettuce and others of that nature on it. I felt unease not only was it little to no meats, but it had an eyelash on the top of it, and it was loaded with nasty salad dressing and the bread was not fresh.....And I passed up 5 subway to get here. they will never see me again........ JUST PLAIN AND NASTY....... and on top of that they sale mail box, so they handle mail, keys, and food..... I still don't get what all the rave is about this place. read more
