I've had Philly cheesesteaks from Submarine House before and I enjoyed them. So, I thought I would give their pizza a try. I ordered a 14" build your own pizza. I added pepperoni and black olives. Additionally, on one side I added bacon, and on the other side I added mushrooms. The pizza looked presentable but I had a hard time distinguishing one side from the other. The toppings did not appear to be distributed properly. Also, there was barely any bacon on it. I didn't like the crust. It had no real flavor and the texture was off. Finally, this was a very dry pizza and could have used more sauce. I've ordered pizzas in a lot of places in the area but this is one of the worst in my opinion. I guess if you want a pizza, best to stick with a pizza restaurant. This was not a good experience! Not recommended. read more

The food was great and atmosphere airy. Susan was lovely and pleasant as always! She keeps us coming back!

Cool new location. The new SMH has been in Kettering for a few years now... Really nice location and still the same great cheesesteaks. The service was really good too and they were busy when we stopped in... Sat at the bar and the bar tender was all over it. The only knock was they're definitely trying to cut corners with their cheesesteaks (presumably to save money because Ole Corn Pop has effed the U.S. economy like a Vegas hooker), as they didn't stuff the sandwich like they used to... The bread was only bout 1/2 full, so that was disappointing. The cheesesteaks were still outstanding though. read more

It was obnoxiously loud in there and my 4 year old daughter, nor me or the other party, enjoyed that. We could barely hear one another over all the noise. TV's are on every square inch of the wall. The waitress was very polite, but service was very slow! We waited what seemed like an eternity to get our food. Which wouldn't be so bad if it was worth the wait-but it wasn't. Food portion for the sampler was extremely small-especially for the price and didn't provide much variety in the 3 options to choose from. Fries had an after taste-like they'd been frozen. Food taste overall we all agreed was lacking in flavor and wasn't anything worth returning for. Pizza was super greasy. We also felt we way overpaid for what we received. Overall the price we paid you would have thought we went to some fancy diner instead of a sub place. Also, we didn't realize till after we ordered from the main menu the waitress gave us that they had a limited time menu.. stashed where the drink menus usually are. Had I known I would have ordered two things off there.. They were out of paper towels in the women's restroom and no blow dryers to dry hands. read more

Submarine House - A beer that needs refilled as I sit at the bar with no one else here. - Sports Bars Near Me - Kettering, Ohio

We came in on an Tuesday for lunch, it was dead inside the building. The server was quick to get us drinks but the food took forever to get to our table. I order an cheese steak sandwich with chips but the chip was burnt, it had an nasty burnt taste to it. The cheese steak wasn't anything to brag about, it was okay at most read more

I did not expect this to be a sports bar type of restaurant. It made me think of BW3's but with sub sandwiches instead of chicken wings. The food was good and there were plenty of TVs to watch. When we visited it was seat yourself. We sat at a table and it did take a while for a server to take our order. It may have been their break time, but that can happen in the seat yourself format. Once our order was taken the rest of the service was great. read more

On Saturday January 18, 2025 at 4:00 pm we ordered an Italian cheesesteak pizza. We picked it up and brought it home. When we opened it up we realized it was missing 1/2 the ingredients including the sauce. I called and they offered to credit me a pizza the next time I came in or remake the pizza. We chose the remake, but we had to drive back and pick it up. We got the new pizza, brought it home and started to eat it. It was terrible. The steak was like rubber, the pizza was overly greasy and we didn't see any pepperoni. Never again will we order a pizza from here. read more

I was lucky enough to be able to participate in Submarine House Kettering's soft opening a couple of times back in March. Let me preface this by saying that Submarine House is one of those Dayton restaurants with a cult following that I do not understand. It's overpriced and I've never had great food through dine in, carryout, or delivery, from various locations. I've given it multiple chances and I just don't get the hype. But I was more than willing to give a new location a try, and try some new things. Our first night was a Sunday night. It was busy! Every table was full, there were multiple managers and multiple employees manning every inch of the restaurant. It was loud. Didn't bother me, except that I couldn't hear the server at all. I eventually realized that it was the server and not the environment. She was extremely soft spoken and we had to ask her to repeat herself every time she came to the table and said something. It took us a while to get greeted initially. They were busy, but with the abundance of workers, it was painfully obvious when we were just sitting there, employees in every corner, but no one helping us. The server did not bring us silverware or appetizer plates. Even when the entrees came, we still didn't have silverware. There was a long lull in between the apps and entrees. There was no sugar caddy on the table, (lemonade was ordered). We were not given a check at the end of the meal, so we pulled up the menu on our phones to see what our bill would have been and to tip accordingly. The food was great, but the service was noticeably lacking. It wasn't terrible by any means, but issues were noticeable. I'm so glad that we went back for a second night, because Monday was a completely different experience! They were noticeably less busy. We sat a high top in the bar area. A server greeted us before I had even put my purse down. She wasn't even our server, but was letting us know that our server needed a minute and she was going to start us with drinks while we waited. Both she and our actual server were great! Very knowledgeable, friendly, easy to hear. We got silverware and app plates right away. At the end of the meal, we were given checks for our drinks and a check showing what our comped bill was. Food was great for the second night, and this time the service took a huge step up too! Tuesday we sat at the bar. Another busy night! Every table was full again, but it didn't look like they had as many employees working. Seems that the secret of being able to walk in without a reservation had gotten around to a few more people. More great service. Made friends with some fellow patrons. More great food! One of my friends made a comment that the food tasted so much better on new, clean equipment. Being a Submarine House doubter myself, I also enjoyed the food more than any other experience I've had at a Sub House. The food was always piping hot and fresh. Our orders were accurate. The staff was friendly and attentive, (with the exception of our first experience). The entire place is clean, open and inviting. They opened to the public on March 30th. I took some photos of the place for those who couldn't make it to the soft opening. Most of the seating is in the bar area. Lots of TVs throughout. They have a small patio with a fire pit that looks really nice and a garage door that opens to the inside. I think that will be a really nice area in the warmer months. No outside TVs though, (yet?). There are outlets under the bar to charge your phone, but no purse hooks. ‍ (I was told later that there were indeed purse hooks, but I couldn't find them. ‍) Overall, we had a couple of really great experiences. It's kind of bitter sweet, because now I know the standard that Sub House is capable of and what they can actually do when they're giving it 110%. I really hope that they continue to give great service and that the quality of food continues at this level after the newness of the restaurant wears off. Definitely my best Submarine House experience out of any other locations! read more

Cheeseburger was unseasoned, poorly cooked. Tasted like the beef patties were boiled...not seared or grilled. I could not eat the burger. My family member ordered cheesesteak with no pepper relish due to digestive issues. They put the relish on the sandwich. Do not recommend ordering hamburgers read more

Worst sub I've ever gotten here by far. Placed order for two subs to go. Waited 25 minutes before asking how much longer. Was told a bunch of door dash orders came in after us. I guess you prepare them first the way the girl acted. When they were finally finished, the waitress just threw them on the counter on her way by. Not a word. Upon returning home, found our subs were on stale bread, and didn't have enough filling to cover the bun. After eating at Submarine House for many years, this just totally shocked me. Especially when we were put behind DoorDash. Probably won't be coming back. Too many companies want my business. read more

Wings had feathers. Cheesesteak was meh. Even with all of the tvs, it was difficult to see the game I was watching. Not impressed. read more

Submarine House - Wings with feathers. - Sports Bars Near Me - Kettering, Ohio

Good subs and appetizers and the staff is consistently great. Always willing to find the best events on the most convenient screens.

I was so happy when I saw that this place was opening so close to my house . I've been here three times already . The food is excellent and we love to come here after firebird sporting events . Behind the bar Ally (not hallie) kept my beer cold and her smile lights up the room. I will be coming here a lot as long as the Fire birds keep on winning . Go Fairmont. read more

The new Submarine house in Kettering was a treat. It is in a great central location. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated at a roomy booth. Drew, our server,really made the experience. He took the time to explain the menu and had excellent food and drink recommendations. He recommended beverages which complimented the meal. He had extensive menu knowledge and was so friendly. We selected a few menu items including the appetizer sampler, the Big Luigi and the House 2 Pizza. The appetizer sampler included many fresh fried items, the best of which were the teezers, which are cheese and jalapeño filled tatertot bites. The Big Luigi delivered with all the meaty, sub flavors coming through. The pepper relish on the sandwich was fresh and delicious. Lastly was the House 2 pizza which had copious amounts of fresh cheese. We will definitely be back and excited to enjoy the experience again. read more

Tasty subs and a really neat environment. I used to go to the Family Video that was there before and they've done an incredible job remodeling. Four stars because service was pretty slow the night we went, but it was probably just an off or understaffed day read more

Great food and service. Plus they have teezers, so that alone would give them 4 stars.

I like coming to this location and the food is always great. I just wish that when they have live bands that the music wasn't so loud. When I say loud, I mean it is so loud that you can hear it outside and down the street. How can you hold a conversation with the music so loud? read more

We have gone the several time at the food is good, but recently tried the cheese steak and it is the best in Ohio! Also they have the best onion rings! Serve was good too! read more

Italian cheese steak was really good but the bun was a little messed up. Very good sweet onion rings -- crisp and flavorful. Experience top off by a nice draft craft beer selection. read more

This place is amazing. Have lived less than two miles away for 15 years and have never tried it. What a mistake, I wish I had tried this years ago. The food was fresh and fabulous. read more

Stopped in to order subs said 10 minutes over half hour! High price even for qtr sandwich. Taste not that great. People don't listen when you are ordering. Rrr ambiance is best thing going for this place. Not impressed. read more

The service at this place is awful. Will never go back! Waited over an hour & half & it wasn't even crowded.

Just picked up carry out - cheese steak subs- had a hard time finding the meat. Very skimpy. The managers need to checkout what is coming out of their kitchen. one of my favorite places disappoints! read more

My friends and I ate dinner here tonight for the first time and were not impressed! They were featuring some specialty hamburgers. We each ordered one with some fries. The fries came out raw. The cheese sauce was like soup, so the fries were sent back and it took 30 minutes to get new fries at that point we had already ate our hamburgers. It was pointless, then it took the waitress forever to take our checks and then bring us our change and when she did bring us our change, she kept the actual change part of the change I will not be returning any time soon I could've went to McDonald's and had a better meal‍ read more

I ordered a turkey sandwich with chips. The girl behind the bar said she would go check to see if it is ready. After ten minutes she comes out and just ignores me and is in lala land drinking at the practically empty bar on her phone. I would have ordered a drink while I waited but she had been gone for ten minutes. I ask her soooo where is my food and she says she thinks someone else is getring it LOL. I ordered it almost an hour ago, so I say to cancel it. Nothing even needed to be cooked, just toasted. She is still in lala land and doesn't know how to. A nice lady says she will refund me and check on it. But then the dumb ass bartender is like "oh here it is, there you go." And picks up some bag of food that was sitting almost behind the bar that she has walked by already a few times that was there when I got there. As if I am the dumb ass who didn't bother to look behind her bar or check out orders. The nice lady refunded my money without me asking which is good because the sandwich had barely any meat, no mayo or cheese or olives i had requested and there was no side of dipping sauce for the five chips that I ordered and paid for. I have been here a few times and it is always disappointing. They always have a flakey bartender who has no business being behind a bar and when you look around people are always waiting for drinks at an empty horseshoe bar while they stare at their phone, without looking around so you can make eye contact and get another drink. I will never go back here, read more

Our pizza was delicious! It was a deluxe and came out hot and cheesy! Service great and love the Monday night bingo!!

We ordered from Submarine House in Kettering today. Ordered extra meat on our sub and didn't receive it. We ask for pepper relish not to be on sub but it was. I thought a 20% tip might ensure a closer attention to detail for a carryout order. Last time I'm going there. read more

If I could rate zero stars I would! Went in Monday for lunch and there was a different girl bartending than usual. She was super rude and snippy! The service use to be great but all of the friendly faces were use to seeing aren't there anymore. Poor management if you ask me. We won't be back. read more

Great subs and great service. Nicer atmosphere than you would think from the outside. I prefer it much more than B-dubs, except their wings could use some improvement. But, go there for the subs, very good. read more
