(If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!) The Sub Stop in Fairfax is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the ownership takes real pride in presentation, cleanliness, and customer service. The food portions are beyond generous, and the prices honestly shocked me in the best way possible. On Tuesday, I had their breakfast platter -- two eggs, bologna, bacon, light rice, toast, and coffee -- all for just $15. The cook did a phenomenal job, everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. It was so good I came back the very next day! On Wednesday, I ordered a two-egg sandwich with bacon on an everything bagel with toast. Once again, they did not disappoint. If you're ever in the Fairfax area and want an incredible breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this is the place to go. Expect great food, more than enough to take home, and prices that will make you smile. Truly one of the best hidden gems in town. read more

The Sub was delicious - best sub I've had in a long time. I had the chicken, avocado, bacon one and it was fresh, huge, and savory. The restaurant was clean, and the employees were friendly and made great recommendations. The prices are a little high but my sub lasted two lunches :) read more

This place is a great affordable and delicious option if your in merrifield and need a quick bite. The food comes out quick and it is so good. The service is amazing as well! Everyone who works here is so friendly. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures of the food because we gobbled it up as soon as it came, but everything was great. We also always get the danishes. I don't know where they got these from but they're so good they're very moist and have lots of flavor. They don't skimp on that cheese and filling. For breakfast I always get the breakfast burrito and I sub the sausage for turkey bacon. My husband always picks one of the omelette options and also subs with turkey bacon. The omelettes come with potatoes that are cooked perfectly. They have so many snack options lots of milk, options for coffee, and several fridges full of numerous options for drinks. read more

They are closed. Dropped them from your inventory of restaurants. Supposedly I have to get to 85 characters to make this a valid review. I drove over from my office because it was the only sub shop nearby and lo and behold. The place is totally empty. I hope that's 85 characters. Have a nice read more

This was a pleasant sandwich shop slash greasy spoon, and they made me a yummy turkey club sandwich with fries. I plan on coming back for a breakfast sandwich (probably on a day when I visit Home Depot down the block some morning). read more

1/17/23 Second time here and there will be more. I was introduced to this restaurant last Saturday on January 7th. The first thing I ended up trying were the delicious Cheese Danishes. Something I loved eating as a kid. I noticed on the first experience the staff spoken Spanish and some English. The owner spoke English and possibly a few other languages too. I got the idea this is the restaurant of choice for a lot of Contractors coming or going to working. For years I years I have driven by this shop and I always thought it wasn't busy, because it looked empty. I also never saw anyone go inside the building when I drove by, However, looks can be deceiving. I am glad I was wrong about this place. I enjoyed speaking Spanish, but I definitely have a ways to go on my Spanish. As of right now, the ladies are too much for me as far as speaking their native language. I ordered the hotcakes with bacon and hotcakes with eggs for my wife. I found the food delicious. I also bought two Cheese Danishes and two Cherry Danishes. I am not sure when I will be back here, but it will be soon. read more

Not a lot of places do chopped cheese and it was on point. I haven't been there that much, but so far food is on point. Price is more than reasonable for the area. Services have been great. Nice little hidden gem around the Merrifield area. read more

Sub Stop - Chopped cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Yum Yum and Yummier! Being from NY, it's often hard to find NY Deli style sandwiches outside of the city but BABY... this is the Korean version of the NY Chopped Cheese. The bulgogi hero goes super hard! They lightly toast the bread and dress it ever so lightly with a spicy aioli. It even tastes good when it's not piping hot. Think of it as a Korean Philly Cheese steak. Just yum! Oh, and put some obay on those fries! read more

Nothing fancy here. Not a destination at all. But no complaints either. If you want a fresh-made takeout sandwich that's a couple of dollars cheaper than the Mosaic district restaurants down the road, this spot serves that need nicely. read more

Sub Stop - Bulgogi sub. No Mayo or tomato. $8.29. Not on the menu. A fun but pricey flavor variation on the Steak and Cheese Sub. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Went and got a steak and cheese with fries. I would say that the Steak and cheese was not terrible. The bread was nice but for 12 dollars plus it was a small sammich. There wasn't a lot of meat at all. The steak was good enough but needed a lot more for 12 bucks. It desperately needed some crushed red peppers. Why places don't have crush red doesn't make sense. The fries were pretty good. Again, portion was small. For 16.00 plus it wasn't worth it and I doubt I would go back. AL'S steakhouse in Alexandria Va is wildly better. It costs more but the truth is that you can split an Al's Philly steak in half with someone and your good. I could have eaten 2 of substops. The people were nice and all but again. I doubt I would go back read more

The most delicious and packed Italian cold cut in the area! Compared to Jimmy Johns right around the corner, the subs here are nearly 3x the size and flavor. I've only tried the Italian cold cut sub, fries, onion rings and cheese danish here but this place has been so good that my boyfriend and I stop by almost weekly! The sub itself has 3+ layers of meat, cheese, lettuce, onions, and a delish pepper relish. I've even saved half my sub overnight and the bread did not get so soggy since it was really good quality and thick. Onion rings were the really good thick cut, crispy type but I would say the price is a bit steep. Def would recommend tho! Somehow the ladies cook the fries to perfection where it's lightly crispy on the oustide and fluffy potato-y on the inside. Would highly recommend a hot sauce and ketchup mix to dip in. The ambience of the restaurant is almost like an old-timey diner with a few booths spotted throughout. Really easy to romanticize a solo midday lunch here. Only issue for some people would be the hours of operation but as long as you stop by before 2 during the workday, you'll have a delish lunch and most likely leftovers! read more

Sandwiches are delicious and quick. They have every soft drink you can imagine, and some extra snacks

Their Steak and Cheese sub is the very best I've ever had. Yum!!! And the staff is always kind and helpful.

Great food and service... very clean and fast, Fresh fries, great steak and cheese.... I will be coming back for more read more

Easily one of my favorite places for sandwiches. Every ingredient in the sandwiches is so obviously fresh and the flavors are unmatched! My favorite is the Bulgogi sub hands down. Service is fast too! read more

Great drink selection! Subs were all fabulous! Chicken California and cheesesteak were our favorites! Definitely recommend and would return if ever in the area. read more

Unexpected little shop in Merrifield run by Korean ladies. We used to live in the Halstead and walked by it often but never came in because it is mainly a breakfast and lunch place. It is actually somewhat roomy inside with several tables. There is a good basic breakfast. There are also snacks and drinks that they sell. If you are looking for a casual place that isn't a chain for breakfast or lunch give it a shot. read more

This place was just what I needed. I was here on a house-scouting trip, pre-move, and the hotel's breakfast was underwhelming. I love a good breakfast sandwich to start my day. The inside of the shop is cozy and the people were lovely. Went back again before I left town! read more

The Sub Stop is a local staple in Merrifield. And, I love it, except for one thing: the hours. The hours of this place are mostly impossible. Even as a teacher, they are often closed before I am off work, which is crazy. Now that we got that out of the way, everything else about the Sub Stop is awesome. They have an excellent cheesesteak, which is big coming from someone who grew up in the Philly area. They have great breakfast options. The staff is also super friendly. The inside of the shop is welcoming and sort of reminds me of an old school diner. If you can get here while they are open, I highly, highly recommend this place. read more

This is a no frills deli shop, they serve breakfast too. I like it because breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and other places in the immediate area are either fast food (like mcdonalds, dunkin donuts) or too upscale/sit down (silver diner, teds bulletin, ihop clones). Another reviewer called it a "blue collar" place and I would agree with that description, seems like it caters more to the construction material and mechanic businesses close by as opposed to the halstead square types. Reminds me a little of the bagel place on Gallows and route 7, if you took away the bagels and made it more lowkey. Interesting location. In terms of their breakfast food, you can get a typical but real sandwich, cooked fresh. A bacon egg cheese sandwich on rye is $3.59. There are platter options as well that are served cafeteria-style. The lunch sandwiches hover around $7. The menu is 100% clear: they have rye, kaiser rolls, sub rolls, croissant, wheat and maybe another option. I saw biscuits there but I think they are for platters only. The layout uses alot of space for chips and bottled drinks. They have cigarettes and gum there if that is your thing. There are some tables also if you wish to sit down for a few minutes. I initially started writing this review because it is the weekend and I do not know their hours today. I just grabbed breakfast there and will attach a pic of the hours. I bet if they revamped the place a little to appeal to the halstead square types they might get more business. Alternatively, they can push in the direction of becoming more of a minimart like 7-11/CVS since I don't think halstead or dunn loring have a place like that (nevermind, I guess harris teeter is right there). Minimally, I think they should at least get a new sign. I could easily see people living next door and never knowing that it is there. Regardless, they offer the simple breakfast that I am looking for and the staff is very pleasant. This will probably become my go-to place. -Phil P.S. $5 minimum to use credit card read more

Sub Stop - Hours of operation - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I work very close to Sub Stop so it's been my go-to for breakfast when I for get to bring mine over the past year or so. It's your basic office park adjacent sandwich and snack shop, good but not remarkable. Normally I'd give it 3 or 4 stars, but I was just in there and despite the "Masks Required" sign on the door they are not enforcing it. A guy without a mask walked in right after me and no one said anything to him, hence the 2 star rating. read more

I had the Metro Sub on a soft roll w oil and vinegar and it was really good. Must have been 6 ounces of cold cuts plus the cheese. The lady who made my sandwich put on fresh disposable gloves when she started making the sandwich and then threw them out when done. Nice attention to detail and a good sub! read more

Wow, cheesesteak was fuego!!! Price was well worth it and ladies working were awesome.

prices are deceiving. I asked for a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant for 5.99. The total came to 7.41. they charged an extra $1 for a croissant but didn't specify when I asked or on the menu. The owner treats her workers like crap as well. read more

Nice casual sub shop with a great, hearty veggie sandwich! It's nothing fancy but it is made with crisp, fresh ingredients, and though it's stacked tall it's not so overstuffed it's falling apart. It's good to have a non-chain option in the not-yet-gentrified block between Mosaic and the Dunn Loring metro. My only qualm is that like some other reviewers mentioned, they keep banker hours here. Sub Stop is clearly catering to the breakfast and lunch crowds, so hopefully that treats them well, but I wish I could patronize them more. Other than that, this is the kind of neighborhood deli you really want--you get a lot of good/fresh food, fast and friendly service, and pay a fair price. read more

Didn't think I'd return but Never say Never right. This place happens to be located right next door to the garage I take my car to. Bought a coffee, there are 2 on the burner and not labeled as decaf or regular. Coffee wasn't as hot as I like it but needed a cup of Joe. They also have more of a creamer selection than I had remembered. It's the container with pump, I chose the hazelnut. I also ordered egg n cheese on whole wheat bread well toasted. The person who took my order didn't include cheese originally but when I asked where it was the cook held up a single piece if it and added it to my sandwich. Kinda surprised when it happened, but I want what I paid for. Everything was made to order and fresh. read more

The hours aren't updated online. I went once already and they were closed. I went again and arrived several minutes before closing. The door was open so I thought I'd be served. The women behind the counter looked at the clock, looked at me and said, "we just closed". She was really rude. I can't recommend a place that wont even honor its own hours. read more

I live down the street and come here everyday for bacon egg and cheese on a croissant! Everything they serve is great for the price and they also have drinks/snacks not all places have like kinder chocolates. I also recommend trying the bulgogi sub! read more

I have been coming to Sub Stop off and on over the last 5 years and will say as far as your typical deli shop goes, it is in my top 3 for the Merrifield area. The place is a deli counter, go up, order, pay, wait to be called. They have a small buffet of food that I cannot comment on because I am a sandwich guy and would never dream of ordering anything but. There is also an assortment of chips, candy, baked goods (the blondie bar is yummy) and fruit to compliment the meal. Beverages are fountain (coke) soda, coffee and mix of bottled items including tea and energy drinks. There is always a special of the day which includes a particular hot sub, fries and drink for $9. My favorite go-to is the California Chicken. Chicken breast with provolone cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mayo and sprouts stuffed inside a wheat pita. It typically comes on a sub roll which is good too, but I like the pita since you taste more of the food content and less bread. If youre in the area, come by for a quick lunch, bring your coworkers. The ladies that work the counter are super nice and will serve you up a great lunch at a decent price. read more

Work in the area. You know that industrial shop that serves breakfast and lunch. That you love to go to every morning b4 work. Well this one is not it. If you don't know what good food and customer service is. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! I been here numerous times, and the breakfast is ok. Lunch is garbage. The lady that ring your order up has the shittyes customer service i even had at a industrial eatery or is it because I'm Young BLACK (Male). This will be the last time i go in here. I'll rather wake up early to go somewhere else or fix my own food. Three down. read more
