it was okay inside, the outside is a little grim, but that's true of that whole strip mall. The sandwiches are named fore celebrities and such, which is cute, but partner was not impressed with his, it was middling to fair, and overpriced for what he got. I had a build your own, and I would have to agree with him on the value. The employees were friendly and service was quick, but it was too pricey for our budget and we feel like we could have splurged someplace else and gotten more for our money. read more

Subs A Licious - Front of shop - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

(Late review July 2024) My husband and I were looking for a new sandwich place to try and stumbled here. It's a small mom-n-pop shop, family owned. We went during the summer and it was a teenager at the register and he did an amazing job! He was courteous, respectful, and attentive, better than some grown adult staff we've come across. The portion size is huge and the flavors were good! The Dutch oven bread was nicely crunchy and didn't destroy the roof of my mouth. The price is also reasonable. My husband was there recently last week (fast forward to Sept 2025) for his training with a couple of his mates. I believe the went there multiple times that week and everyone enjoyed it! Bottom line: Good, big portions, reasonably priced. Support this amazing small business! read more

The saddest excuse for Dutch crunch bread I've ever had.. I liked that I could order a whole pickle ... but that's the only think I liked. read more

Tried the mark zuckerberg and the vegan meatball sub. Both were good, Zuckerberg was better. Bread could have been more fresh but everything else was great. Service was super quick. Ambiance was similar to any sandwich shop. They have restrooms in the back for customers. read more

I was not acquainted with the Dutch crunch roll until I started getting my sandwiches at this neighborhood eatery. The texture and flavor of the Dutch crunch really adds a lot to sandwiches. They've come up with some very creative names for their sandwiches and it's taking me a little while to understand the meaning of the names to figure out what my favorite sandwiches are. But when I get my favorites, I am a very happy person. Especially with the cookie that they sometimes add into the bag. This restaurant is definitely an upgrade from the subway that used to be there. read more

My son loves sandwiches so we were on the hunt for a good sandwich spot. We happened to find Subs A Licious using the power of yelp. This place has a bunch of different sandwiches. From cold to hot sandwiches. My son loves tuna sandwiches so he went with their Tom Brady sandwich. I went with the French dip while my daughter chose the kid grilled cheese and the wife snagged the JB44. Everyone loved their sandwich. Mine was good too except for one thing. It came with sourdough bread. This sandwich needs a softer more absorbing bread for the au jus and not a sourdough. No biggie. Next time I'll ask for a different bread. In the end this was a good sandwich joint. The lady making the sandwich was very warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return. read more

This place was a vibe walking into the door with my favorite Reggae beats playing. I was greeted by someone who may be the owner. He was pleasant, and I had a great customer experience. He was also very quick with getting my meal out to me. On his reccomendation, I ordered their popular #13 sandwich (which was a chicken one) but I don't recall the name, as well as their potato salad. The sandwich was fairly large, no skimping here! It was delicious! I really enjoyed the potato salad as well. I had the sandwich, side, and a drink and it came out to $20 which I thought was very reasonable given how much I got and the price of everything these days. There was a really large selection of drinks, if you didn't want a fountain drink. The place was very clean and had plenty of seating. Check them out if you're in the mood for some delicious food! read more

I'm a simple and lowkey person. For my birthday I wanted to knock off a bookmark and try something new. This gem is a mom-and-pop w/ great service, quick, and offers a variety. They offer breakfast, a kid's menu, different subs including vegan/vegetarian options, soups, and salads. I particularly enjoyed their macaroni salad very much. It was so creamy! I ordered the Say Hey Kid. It was delicious. Ronnie and Gavin ordered the Mike Tyson, one was subbed w/ tri-tip instead of roast beef. There were no leftovers. I didn't eat the complimentary cookies, but Gavin finished it off. read more

I decided to try out Subs A Licious for the first time for lunch today. The young lady at the counter was so kind and I enjoyed my conversation with her as she made my sandwiches. It's in an older strip mall. The inside is spacious with inside seating. I ordered the say hey kid and the Al Pacino. The sandwiches were made fairly quickly and I took them home for our lunch. The say hey kid had really good flavor. The thunder sauce had an unexpected kick to it. The sandwich is huge and filled mainly with sliced chicken breast and some roast beef. The Dutch crunch bread was the star here. The chicken meat was just too dry and very hard to chew. Otherwise it had great flavor. My husband likes his Al Pacino except for the bread. The sweet roll bread was very hard and stale. It was definitely not fresh. Too bad it wasn't made on the Dutch crunch bread. We also got two chocolate chip cookies that were free. That was very nice. They were just okay to us but we appreciate that they were complimentary. I'm willing to give this place another try and maybe try the breakfast sandwiches, next time. read more

I was craving a Rueben for about a week. I had some time to look up a couple of places Subs A Licious came across my screen. I was thoroughly excited so I picked up the phone and ordered. I was so excited. The place was empty and my order was waiting for me. I decided I would dine in the restaurant. The pastrami did not fit the bill I was looking for. The texture was not right and the sauerkraut on sandwich...I don't know it had a funny texture. I'm just sharing what I saw and experienced. read more

There's nothing like supporting local business and we set out to do just that when we visited Subs A Licious. I ordered the Say Hey Kid and it was very good. Good portions and the spice game was strong. My better half had the Al Pacino on sourdough and felt that the bread was a bit dry. The owners were extremely friendly and the place was well kept. They gave us complimentary cookies which were also very good. The price point is very good here at this independent neighborhood sandwich shop! read more

Super good I ordered THE SAY HEY KID good flavor definitely come back for the one again My daughter ordered the KOBE BRYANT and she loved it My wife order the THE ZUCKERBERG Excellent service Belinda she was great read more

Bread is stale and hard to bite through. Felt like a pitbull trying to bite through it.

Had to try it as I drive by often and like to support local independent businesses!!! And Yelp review them! They have good sandwiches made quick and you're out the door. Good value as well... The strip mall needs to be plowed and updated but hey! I hope his rent is cheap the meat is good! Turkey ham and avocado worked for me! read more

Amazing food! Great sandwiches! The owner is super nice and accommodating all the requests! They also have hot soup! Easy parking! Clean environment! We will be back again. read more

Yum for Dutch crunch!! It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. My sandwich was amazing and full of flavor. The gentleman that made my sandwich was super nice and talkative. read more

Both times I went here the sandwiches were very dry and lacking flavor. The bread was hard, chicken was dry and had no seasoning. The staff is very nice, though. read more

The sourdough was so fresh, chewy texture with a crunch to the crust. The au jus was flavorful but not too salty. The guy at the counter was nice and made my sandwich quick. Might be my new go to spot for sandwiches. read more

Subs A Licious - French Dip Traditional Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Subs of Anarchy Subs-A-Licious (SAL) is the new kid on the block, only open a few months and just a short trip from our new digs. SAL is the brainchild of a local real estate mogul and his wife, and focuses on loaded sandwiches with kitschy names, such as The Tom Brady™, The Say Hey Kid™ and The Elon Musk™--sound familiar? *cough cough Ike's cough cough* The Good: *Free chocolate chip cookie with every sammich. *Friendly service. *The meat/veggie portions of the sandwiches are pretty good but nothing amazing. *Online ordering/delivery available thru Doordash® and Yelp®. The Meh: *The bread they serve here is really sub-par, I'm afraid. Really good bread can take decent ingredients and make them shine and, conversely, bad bread will make an otherwise decent sammich not good. Their Dutch Crunch in particular is just not good, and comes off as old and stale. Ordered it twice thinking maybe the first time was a fluke, but no. Not a fluke. *No custom sandwich ordering available on either app. Not sure if this is an oversight or purposely done, but it's not good. The Ugly: *Their falafel sandwich (i.e., The Steve Jobs) was "Holy Shit that's bad" bad... Fortunately I didn't order it but Carissa said she had to force it down only because she was starving. But, to be fair, she might be a bit of a falafel snob at this point after hanging out w/ me now. :) TLDR: SAL is another one of those places that I really, really, really wanted to like but just can't bring myself to do it. Tried to give them two chances and both times it was not good. 2.5* overall but there's better options in the area. read more

I've been here several times and would say it's likely the better of any of the sandwich shops near me.

First time patron! I was immediately greeted with a smile and the assistance to answer any questions I may have. 5 stars off the bat. I ordered The Say Hey Kid. Highly recommend this sandwich. First let point out that I have not been to a sandwich shop that offers a sliced chicken sandwich. This is not your moms chicken it's better. Perfect amount of Avacado. And the Dutch crunch bread did not tear up the roof of my mouth! This sandwich was a HOME RUN!! Pun intended:) read more

Eat here! My girlfriend and I have been looking for a good French dip sandwich. The French here, I think, is a good size with a good amount of meat and the au jus is flavorful. At $11.99 it's a phenomenal sandwich. read more

I got the number 16 with the toppings the gentleman who was making my sandwich recommended and it was a really good sandwich. I always worry about small independent sandwich shops is it can be a mixed bag, but everything was clean and well kept. I've been through this neighborhood 1 million times and will be stopping here to try other sandwiches in the future read more

My cousin said this place has the best subs and she was not wrong. We got 3 subs (with mods). The #1,3, and 4. All 3 were super delicious and kept you full all day. They also put 3 cookies in the bag with the sandwiches which we didn't know until we got home. I mean who doesn't love cookies? 10/10 5 stars great place to eat. I'll be visiting next time I'm in town for sure. read more

Stopped by after dropping off my girl at work, and found this little gem of a spot. Right away the guy greeted me and helped me out with any questions I had on the menu, along with a couple of great recommendations. The sandwiches looked great, but it was early so I stuck with the croissant breakfast sandwich (no picture cause I devoured it). Super affordable and great tasting, definitely going to stop by again and try one of their lunch sandwiches! read more

The sandwiches are AMAZING!! Better than any of the other chains like Ike's, Mr pickles, or even Los Gatos meats to be honest. LOVE this place!! Once our office found out about the place we literally went every day for lunch. Great prices and the food is unbelievably excellent. 13/10!! read more

Finished half my sandwich before I realized this in the best sandwich joint in San Jose. Had to make a review 10/10 recommend this spot read more

Subs A Licious - The The Say Hey Kid Signature Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Pros: - Wide selection of sandwiches! my favorite is the Arod (Roast beef) and the Al Pacino (Salami) with vegan options and kids meal - Local business! yay! - Can be ordered through phone or delivery service (doordash and etc) Cons: - Pricey! $11+ sandwich is a bit much - Inconsistency in the sandwich. Depending on the employee you get it could be either great or the worst. One of the employees (male) got my order wrong... asked for no mustard... the guy made my sandwich with ONLY mustard no other condiments. Happened a few times and not an isolated incident Overall - I might come back again but would think about Ikes across the street first. read more

The sandwich was delicious and the service was amazing. Will definitely return to this place and strongly recommend.

Subs A Licious is truly a gem. The sandwiches are amazing and the staff are such great folks! You're gonna wanna try the breakfast options with the chipotle sauce. If going for lunch, you can go wrong with the Zuckerberg or the Say Hey Kid. What are you waiting for? Go now. read more

Unique, offerings different from the usual sub sandwiches. Good tasting. Will go back there again.

We love the sandwiches here! The ingredients are fresh and the combination of flavors in their recipes are absolutely delicious. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming. My favorite sub is the Zuckerberg and I get it almost every time even though I know the other ones are just as good. They also have really good breakfast sandwiches that I like better than any of the local bagel shops. read more

Really great sandwiches and service!! Always consistent, dutch crunch bread for the win!!!

The signatures subs are great. Second time coming here. The Zukerberg sandwich is the opposite of its namesake as it is not a bland sandwich. Pretty amazing. Tried a new one today "the say hey kid". Didn't disappoint. Highly recommend. Don't be in a hurry as good food needs a few more minutes. Worth the small wait. read more

Hands down the best sub I've ever had! I got the Zuckerberg. It had the most juicy, most, and fresh chicken with crispy bacon, fresh avocado, and some amazing red onions with chipotle sauce.
