Sandwiches are everywhere around San Francisco. There are so many choices to grab a sandwich it becomes a matter of personal preference. When I am in the Noe Valley there is a place which has a great combo of sandwiches and ice treats. This place serves Mitchell's Ice cream but also make a sandwich so influential that one person decided to open a sandwich store in Brooklyn based on their style of sandwich . It's on the corner of 24th street and Castro and it's called Subs Inc. Inside you will see a fun decor for a sandwich shop. They have the signature subs such as baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and SF Giants former neighborhood resident Matt Cain. I had to try the Godfather. It had pastrami, turkey and provolone. The sandwich was tasty and not too saucy and the bread was not flaky like some in SF. This is the place to grab a sandwich at a great corner spot when in Noe Valley. So grab a "drink" although it's shrinkflation these sandwiches don't "shrink" no need to go elsewhere in Noe Valley no need to "overthink" just go to "Subs Inc." Great sandwich I can't "complain" it's not too saucy won't leave a "stain "it's has flavor and never "plain" so grab a sandwich for baseball season like their signature sandwich like the Joe DiMaggio and "Matt "Cain" read more

Changing my rating to three stars feels extreme, but they've consistently let me down by leaving off at least two ingredients on every sandwich I order. I don't make crazy changes! I merely add pickles, peperoncinis, spicy mustard, and the ~famous~ garlic sauce -- and without fail, at least two of those things never make it on my sandwich. My most recent sandwich lacked pickles and garlic sauce, and there's no way they were out of pickles, because my boyfriend's sandwich had them *sobs in boring sandwich* In order to be sure I get pickles and pepperoncini, I've learned I need to pay an additional $1 to get them on the side. Today, I added side pepperoncini in addition to selecting option for free add today, I only got side pepperoncinis. I thought ordering irl vs on their site could help get the order right, but nope, same result. Maybe you'll have better luck than me, but unfortunately this is no longer on my list for quick food when in Noe. read more

Gave this place a try again since I live nearby and was craving a sandwich. It's been a couple of years since I've been here and I didn't remember it being that great. I ordered the Southwest Beef Melt and the Matt Cain. The Southwest Beef Melt was the saddest sandwich I've seen in awhile. It looked nothing like their website photo, not even close. The bread to meat ratio was sad. There was so much bread that I had to take the top portion off. There was way too much bread and onion and not enough meat. I would not suggest this sandwich to anyone. It definitely could have used something else in it. As for the Matt Cain, it had more meat and felt like a fuller sandwich. They unfortunately burnt the bottom of the sandwich. I also ended taking that part off. I liked the meats, didn't care for the amount of diced onions. Sliced would have been easier to eat. For the price vs amount you get, it's just not worth it. We had to eat something else after because we weren't full. It's always a bummer when you order online and pick up in store, tip before hand and when you show up, the people at the store seemed annoyed you're there. read more

Great spot to grab some takeout for lunch. I ordered a regular Southwest beef melt on Dutch crunch and felt like it was a good amount of food for the cost! All the sandwiches are toasted which I'm a fan of but can be made untoasted upon request. Not a ton of room for seating so I prefer doing takeout but service is quick and easy! read more

10 stars! The yummiest deli sandwiches in the neighborhood! Had the pleasure of meeting Eric today when I popped in for my first visit. It will definitely not be the last!

Underrated sandwich shop and probably one of my new favorites! Both sandwiches were the TBA (turkey, bacon, avocado). We added peppercini, pickles, and their special hot sauce and garlic sauce. The special sauces are a must have!! Entire sandwich jammed packs with ingredients and so good! Highly recommend! read more

This location used to be Buds Ice Cream back in the day, in the 1970s. I have fond memories of coming here for ice cream when I was a kid. This is now a small subs shop where you can also pick up some Mitchells ice cream with your sandwich. Menu has a good selection of meat and vegetarian options. Prices are affordable and their sandwiches are filling. I picked up the TBA sandwich on Dutch Crunch during my last visit. I'm always happy when Dutch Crunch is available and not sold out. The TBA sandwich has Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Provolone with Mustard, Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion & Oil & Vinegar. They toast all their sandwiches. I know the menu says the regular size sandwich is 6 inches long. However my TBA sandwich was definitely longer than my 6 inch ruler. It's mostly take out here because there isn't much seating inside. The people here are friendly. It can be challenging to find street parking in the neighborhood during peak times. Check out the art on the walls while you wait for your sandwich to be made. read more

These subs are crazy huge and so good. I got the large Matt Cain and it was my first time. It was about $20 but well worth it. The ratio of the meat, veggies and sauce was perfect. With the Dutch crunch was a "chefs kiss". The inside was small but the location and vibes were great. Staff was super friendly and kinds as well! The inside tables were slightly dirty but it just showed how much people loved their food haha. Nothing a wipe down with some napkins could do. That's the only thing bringing the score down. Everything else was amazing. 10/10 sub for me. Def have to try the others or build my own next time! read more

Roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, red onions, provolone, pesto, spring mix and tomato make up the vegetarian sub called The Noe. I'm glad I ordered the "regular" 6" sub. It was big. I love Dutch Crunch and was happy to see it as one of the bread options. There are many sandwiches to choose from as well as Mitchell's ice cream. Good service. Price is ok. I paid around $12. The flavors didn't pop as I expected. Next time I'll ask for a splash of balsamic vinegar. read more

Happy to know we have a great sando spot in the neighborhood! They offer both hot and cold sandwiches and two different sizes. As someone who has a big appetite, the smaller one was plenty big for lunch. But i could see the bigger size being great to split or for dinner. Pretty quick service and friendly staff. Small area for indoor seating too. We will be back! read more

Delicious! Went on a Friday for lunch with a friend to get a sandwich to go, and there was a short line, you order at the register and wait. We split a large build your own sub. It was plenty for both of us and we were very full afterwards. The ingredients tasted fresh and they have a ton of really great toppings at no extra cost, such as sauerkraut! The sourdough bun was great and the turkey and ham were a lovely combo (you can mix two meats). Only comment I have is that we waited probably a little over 10 minutes for our sandwich even though there was only one party who ordered ahead of us. I figured they were probably satisfying other pick up orders. The wait was worth the sandwich! Get it toasted! read more

One of your best options for an inexpensive meal in Noe Valley. It's been a steady part of the local experience for over 10 years and if you're one of the people who walked by it without considering it, this is your reminder to check it out. Great sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. Nothing too fancy but plenty of good options. Expect to have your sandwiches toasted, so if you don't want that, let them know ahead of time. One of our go to spots for catering for parties. The owner is a super reasonable and nice guy. Say hi for me. read more

No line but still took 20 minutes to get 3 subs. No line but a sign that says use the iPad to enter your order which I do. Then each person that walks in next they ask to come to counter to order and bypass me. I'm standing there with my kid going nuts. Then they made my sandwich wrong (put cheese on it when I said no cheese because I'm lactose intolerant) Won't be back unless I absolutely watch them like a hawk. Probably not worth it read more

Solid neighborhood sandwich spot ambiance :) Quick and friendly service. Cute small eating area. Street parking Affordable pricing for a good size. Loved my godfather sub for $14. Yum was so hungry i forgot to take a picture. Will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

I have used these sandwiches to take to the Ball Park and on planes for 15 years. Never disappointed and one regular sandwich is enough for 2. The Matt Cain and the Cubano are my favorites. Great value. read more

Subs Inc has sadly let me down again. Decided to indulge in my first sub post-pregnancy, and received a dry, unseasoned stack of bread and meat. Scanned the menu for an Italian sub (not even an option), next looked to the build your own (now I see why Italian isn't an option - there aren't enough Italian meat options to even make a sub), and the kicker - every sub comes with mustard (WTH?!). So I place my order for the best option I can find - Matt Cain ordered with no onions or mustard, add pepperoncini. I receive: meat, cheese, lettuce, one slice of tomato, and approximately 4 pepperoncini slices (read: no mayonnaise, oil / vinegar, seasoning of any type). Some positives: bread was fresh, meat / cheese were of decent quality and sliced nicely (not too thick), and there was a nice volume of meat & cheese. Save your money and check out one of the other Castro / Portola sub shops instead. Or maybe start a donation fund to send the fine folks of Subs Inc. to NJ / NY / PA to discover what a real sub is? read more

For 10+ yrs I've wanted to try this place and finally did! I got a mortadella sandwich on sourdough and it was so good! Get the garlic sauce- made my sandwich so tasty!

My wife and I shared the TBA and were happy to find that the size of the sandwich was hefty, and the portions were generous! The sandwich was very delicious down to the last bite. The prices are bit high but at least you get a good portion size. The folks working the counter were friendly and accommodating. Next time I'm craving a sandwich this will be my go spot to in the neighborhood. read more

TLDR; less than satisfactory service. I hate writing a subpar review but today's service was thought provoking. I work in the neighborhood so every time I eat here I order ahead, I ordered my sandwich at 2:09pm and was told my order would be ready at 2:31pm. Around 20 minutes but not unreasonable. I waited 25 minutes around the neighborhood and walked in to get my sandwich. They gave me someone else's order when I told them I was there for a pickup, good thing I always check. I asked again if they had my order and they had no idea what I was talking about until they checked their tablet. If you're asking who "they" are, it's the two people standing behind the counter who didn't really look all that concerned with keeping busy. They told me it would be a few minutes, meh whatever I'm already this late for work. I waited 10 more minutes for my sandwich, came to work, sat down and started eating it. There is avocado skin littered all over the sandwich including the little nub on the top of the avocado which is impossible to bite through. I don't think I will be recommending this sandwich shop to anyone any time in the near future. read more

Been obsessed with the sandwiches here for so so long. I love it, I crave it, I order it once a week. Everyone I have ever taken here has also been obsessed. If you love delicious bread, easy to eat, filling sandwiches. This is your place. I love it, I always order the avocado, cheddar vegetarian sandwich with jalapeño on wheat roll. The star is the wheat bread, so good, so fresh. My boyfriend loves the turkey, bacon, and avocado on Dutch crunch. Just solid delicious sandwich. read more

Was deep into SF for work, and saw this cool vintage looking sandwich shop. Nothing fancy, and has some decent artwork hanging on the walls. Four tables, and window seating make up this small spot. Looks like a local hangout, and has been around for awhile. Service was good, and although there was issues with one of the ovens getting serviced, the sandwich came out rather quickly. Decided on the large Joe DiMaggio on French roll for lunch. They also carry Mitchell's Ice Cream for you dessert lovers out there. Would recommend checking this place out if your in the area. One of the better sandwiches I've had in SF. read more

Was craving a sandwich for lunch and decided to check this spot out since it's so close to where my boyfriend lives. I ordered the el cubano and my boyfriend got the reuben both on Dutch crunch. The sandwiches were so delicious and the bread was perfectly toasted! They give you the option to make your own sandwich or add items into their signature sandwiches which is what we did. Service was quick and you do have to wait a bit for your sandwich but it's definitely worth it. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Having lived here 5+ years, can confidently tell you this is the best sub in town. It's a pretty straight forward sandwich restaurant, with quick service. Always feels laid back and not too hectic. Get a TBA on Dutch Crunch with everything. The crunch with the flavors of all the veggies, the perfect amount of avocado, and crisp bacon. Add jalapeños to it, trust ;) read more

I ordered my usual favorite Avocado & Cheese sandwich but it's missing a key ingredient: avocado. Kind of important. I live two miles away and I can't be bothered to return to get the order right.

This is my new favorite sandwich place in SF! Their el cubano came highly recommended by my sister. I decided to order delivery from them for lunch, and the sandwiches arrived piping hot! The garlic spread is ridiculous - so much flavor & a nice addition to the sandwich. All the ingredients were of high quality and the Dutch crunch was delicious. I can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

Overall - A no frills but big chill spot with some of the best sandwiches in the city. The service is great but, honestly, the sandwiches steal the show here. Best lunch. Rating: 5 of 5 Ambiance - pretty minimal and clean space but it's clearly one of those "our focus is on the food" kinda spots. There's some fun local art on the walls in the self-seated eating area and local fliers and newspapers rest prominently on the bar seating by the window. It feels like a locals-only spot, but it's not uninviting in the slightest. Rating: 5 of 5 Service - as good, if not better, than what you could expect from counter service. Because there's only ever a small number of folks working here in a tight space, they are very cognizant of the goings-on around them, always present and available to help. Again, big locals vibe. Rating: 5 of 5 Food - I don't know if it's nostalgia or just consistency, but these west coast style sandwiches just hit better than any other sandwich in my opinion. Even with the "west coast sandwich" cheat code enabled, they still punch very highly in my list of this style. There are a lot of places that just sorta phone it in, but they put a lot of love into these. Consistent, well crafted, customizable, delicious. Extra big shout out to their style of Dutch Crunch toasting; it's top tier. What Was Ordered: Mozzalicious on Dutch (me), BLTA on Dutch (), Matt Cain on French () Rating: 5 of 5 Scoring modifiers: - Price: Very reasonable prices in this age of inflation. +.5 - Additional Fees: none of note. +/-0 Rating Modification Adjustment Total: +.5 Notes: - If you have to take them to go, I understand, but they hit exponentially better if you eat it there. Something about the toasty bread and melty cheese. - If you must order to go, order online so you can just grab and go. Saves time and space and effort. - Oh, and get Dutch Crunch, don't question it. - If ice cream is your thing, they have Mitchell's, get Grasshopper Pie, again, don't question it. - They do get a bit busy at random times, but they generally have a solid turn around. Order's in in minutes, food gets to you in less than 10-15. - What to Get: D-d-d-d-utch Crunch is all that matters (can you tell I like it?). - What to Avoid: being pushy or rushing them. They're doing their best to sort out a lot going on at once, don't add any extra stress. read more

HUGE subs. Big enough for lunch and dinner. I had the tuna and husband had pastrami. Make sure to ask for jalapeños and banana peppers -- for some reason, not on the menu. Menu isn't big, which is a good thing. A few classic subs and you have the option to build your own sandwich. Service was friendly. Sandwiches were made quick. The place has a few tables for in door dining. Minus one star because too much Mayo in the tuna. Sandwich became super soggy, fast. read more
