Okay, at first glance you're thinking, "a sandwich place next to a gas station? Classy ," and you might be right but give it a chance. Although the place is small and ostensibly shady, once on the inside you see it's actually rustically welcoming and quaint. It has a secluded feel that draws you in and is actually the opposite of what you believed it to be. With a full menu and beers on tap, this place is where a group can stay for a while and enjoy just relaxing. The food was tasty and quite cheap. We all had some version of a sandwich along with the teezers (their version of a cheesy jalapeño popper). All was delicious. The time we were there (a Thursday night), they held a music bingo night, which was cool but a little too loud to hold a comfortable conversation. Overall, this was an interesting and unexpected good time. It goes to show you that we shouldn't judge a restaurant by the gas station it's located next to . Try it out and enjoy. read more

Submarine House - Bars Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

What a mixed bag. First the best part, the service from the bartender with tattooed arms was outstanding. She was attentive and caring despite having to serve the bar and almost all the tables. The pizza was just okay. Not the best but not the worst. The bad was when I walked in with a coworker, one of the workers was ahead of us and held the door. I said "thank you" but it is very loud in this establishment and as soon as the door opens you are hit the the noise. She didn't hear me. She turned very angrily to me and said "YOU'RE WELCOME". I politely told her I said thank you and thanked her again. She just stared at me and walked away without saying another word. I should have left but I was there with someone else. It was not a pleasant experience. She didn't hear me do the right thing. I wasn't going to yell. read more

My food and service were fantastic! Shout out to Morgan for doing a great job preparing my food!

Food was great (italian sub and Barqs red creme soda). Building decor is straight out of 1975, which is pretty cool. Definitely recommend. read more

Do not order online call the store or go in directly because you'll get good service and good food! The website...is a SCAM! You can order a pizza or whatever you like but when you go to your final total if you're not paying attention it's going to charge you way more than it's supposed to they even after you tell it what store you're going to pick it up from it's still reverts you to another store so please be careful just go to the store call ! read more

Had an amazing experience! The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was great, and everything was spot on. A special shoutout to Jenn behind the bar, she is an absolute rockstar! Friendly, attentive, and always one step ahead, she made sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. read more

This place has great food. They are the best place in Dayton if you want a cheese steak! Only thing is they are almost always busy, but didn't take us too long and it was worth the wait. read more

We were nearby and hungry so we stopped in for lunch. I've been to the Submarine House in Troy many times but this was my first time here. I had a half Turkey and ham sandwich on wheat. It hit the spot just right. I also had a Yuengling beer that tasted great! My son had the same sandwich but added some Teezers to it. So delicious! It's not a big place but it makes that up in service and in the quality of their food. We both really liked it! read more

I went to submarine house tonight and after picking up my food, I was not very happy because apparently I ordered a quarter chicken cheesesteak on toasted wheat bread and fried mushrooms. I got home and I know that sandwich was not chicken. It was steak meat, but I was too hungry to turn around and take it back. read more

food was hot and excellent. Service was great. Haley always make sure we have exactly what we want & fast. read more

One of the servers/bartenders made us feel very unwelcome! She a blonde with curly hair! Such a rude person and made us want to leave before ordering. It was obvious that she was having beef with her coworkers. we will not go back! read more

This place has good food but has always been expensive. July 2025 and now many items have increased by 25% +. How much more expensive can this place get? read more

Love their sauce! You may buy a jar of it, FYI. It's the one that is on their steak pizza. Legit yummy food.. as long as you are not being a health nut ;) read more

I ordered and paid on line for really good Italian sandwich when I saw 45 minute wait I called and asked if I could get it sooner as I was parked outside no problem will be ready in 10 Drive up service window was really convenient for disabled customers read more

Favorite Sub in Dayton. Great atmosphere and great service. Always have a great time when we are there

Everything. Subhouse is the real deal in every way. The write and have wrote the book on east coast style subs.

Went for a late lunch today and got a turkey toasted with double turkey and a side of their house made chips. Holy crap the bartender hooked it up!!! If Double meat equals quadruple the amount of meat I'm used to, sign me up!!!!! I think I'm done eating for the week! And she was an angel. I think I'm in love! Best service and best restaurant in the Vandalia area. read more

I love this place!! I come here frequently for lunch and meet up with coworkers. Always excellent service, fast, and friendly!

Service was really good. Called in order, pickup at window. I ordered a cheese steak with not spicy sauce. It has spicy sauce and was not enjoyable. Also got the fish tacos by friend recommendation. Wasn't that impressed. I would try something different and give them another try, but my first experience wasn't great. I chose them because of the convenience of the drive up window. read more

I really like this location. It's quaint and has a nice atmosphere. Cheesesteaks are delicious but you need to order at least a super to have enough meat. The chicken cheesesteaks are also good. Decent beers on tap so give it a try. read more

Used them for a large order to go. They were great and easy to work with. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Stopped by for dinner & drinks after work and the place was busy allll night! I got a gyro and it was very good, as were the onion rings. The staff was very attentive to our needs the whole night so it was definitely a nice place to stop by. The music is super loud though so it was hard to hear each other but to be expected in a bar :) read more

Very slow... Waited 30 minutes longer than the pickup time provided me. You can get much better service elsewhere.

The food is always great! Very dependable, the prices just keep rising! We love the 16" super cheesesteak! But wow! Over $20.00 is just crazy read more

Tender salad is so yum in my Tum get it it's real good and yum and BUSSSINNGGGG service is immaculate. read more

Submarine House - This is bussssssssinggggg Chicken Tender Salad - Bars Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

prices have went up way more than other places in the last month. I ordered a 4 inch cheese steak was not super hungry. I think it was 7.99 and looked more like 3 inches, tasted fine but 3 bites and done. Burgers are good used to be 8.99 last month now 13.99 with no sides. I will have a beer or two there but the food prices are way out of line for quantity and quality in my opinion. service is always good. read more

Great food great service as usual. Not very busy this night. they have large menu good food. Philly chicken cheesesteaks salad

Better than Subway!!! Admittedly, I only had the Italian but OMG it was DELICIOUS!!! We were from out of town and our family recommended this place and so glad they did. If the rest of the menu is as good as the Italian Sub, you will not be disappointed read more

I guess you better order the SUPER, because this is a joke. The really sad thing is I started my day in Philadelphia. Should have brought one with me. read more

Submarine House - They call this a cheesesteak?!! - Bars Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Don't let the small looking exterior fool you, the bar is huge. There are plenty of high top booths to sit at as well. The warm subs are delicious. This is a friendly place to get a drink after work and a good meal at a great price. PS there is a drive through pick up window on the side. read more

Super friendly service at the bar. And the Italian sandwich was very good. Great spot. Will definitely eat here again.

We ordered 2 tenderloin sandwiches and fries from the E Dorothy Ln location on Friday Dec 2 2022. They were the worst sandwiches l have ever eaten. They were cold and as hard as shoe leather. I had wait for them to bag up my order once l arrived for pick up, so they should not have been so cold and Nasty . I won't waste my money at this place again. 34.48 wasted...... read more

Horrible Chicken Cheesesteak. I called and complained, manager on duty very rude. Do not use them. I recommend Flavor House in downtown Dayton for a very good chicken cheesesteak read more

Ordered takeout. Arrived at the time stated for the online order. Order was correct, however fries were soggy and cold like they had been sitting a while. Also the fries were a pretty small quantity. All other toasted subs were cold. This place is too expensive for what you get. read more

Better than average bar food. Good pizzas, GREAT subs. Subs are made to order with QUALITY ingredients, not like the fast food places. Very reasonable drink prices & CHEAP specials on drinks. The most notable thing here is the SERVICE! The hardest working bar staff that I have ever seen. read more

If you want delivery you may want to have a back up plan. After ONE HOUR FORTY FIVE MINUTES I called to check on my order. I was told that it would be another 30 minutes. (I was initially told it would be maybe an hour at the most and I was fine with that) The person I spoke with on the phone was frustrated WITH ME and ended up hanging up on me. This will be a place we don't need to go back to. It's one thing to be running late but if you're going to be mad at me when I call to question order status, I don't need to give you another chance. read more

I placed a delivery order last night and specifically asked about delivery time. I was told 45 minutes. My order arrived 1 1/2 hours later. Cold. ADIOS Submarine House! read more

Went there today!!!! You must try the amazing Super Cheese Steak!!!!! Must have the Relish!!!! Amazing!! Teezers!!!!! Fried Pickles!!!!! Party in your mouth!!!! Service was great!! Fun place to be with family and friends!!!!! read more

If you are looking for a sub in the Vandalia or Dayton area, then this is place for you. Admittedly, I'm a long time fan of SH, as I've known the owners since a kid and enjoyed their yummy oversized sandwiches for years. We've lived in Cincinnati for the past 16 years, and take every opportunity to stop at SH to get our fix of their hot pepper relish and either italian fixings (my fav) or philly cheese steak (my wife's). The only reason for 4/5 stars is that we tend to treat this as more of a take out vs. dine in location... although recent changes to the Vandalia location has turned it into a decent bar. If you go, don't pass on the hot peppers... they're the bomb. Cheers. read more
