I have been going to Tastee Sub Shop (Edison) for over 35 years and can always expect a very good tasting sub. The reason for my review however is to compliment the crew that was working today (03/21/2021). There was a gentleman ahead of me who clearly was a first-time customer. First-time customer: "Can my sub be toasted?" Employee: "We only have cold subs with the exception of the meatball or sausage subs and we don't toast any subs." First-time customer: "Do you have olives?" Employee: Very light-heartedly said "We don't get that fancy." The employee working the slicer insured that this customer's order was correct through-out the process: the sub selections, the toppings, etc. all while continuing to complete the call-in orders and the other customer(s) in line. I complimented the entire crew and also want to compliment the couple ahead of me who also seemed to give the first-time customer a little more 'grace' and 'patience' during this visit. Hey, we've all been there. I'm sure the first-time customer will be satisfied and be better (and quicker) the next time around! SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES. . . read more

Excellent sub for substance, size, and price in Middlesex County. Go to sub - #5 Super Sub Pressed ham, salami, cheese, boiled ham, cappacola, proscuittini w/ everything. The mayo & oil and vinegar perfect the sub. read more

I have heard so much about Tastee Sub Shop from my friends that I decided to see what all the hype was about. This hidden gem has all of the qualities of a hole in the wall eatery. The menu is very classic and straightforward. I tried the tuna sub and I really enjoyed it. The sandwich is simple and has the right proportions of bread/meat/veggies. The whole sub sandwich is a large portion and can be shared. We paid around 14 dollars for a full sub and half sub! Bring cash as they offer a discount. Overall, a very satisfying meal that tastes delicious and is easy on the wallet. Lastly, this deli has been approved by President Obama! read more

Tastee subs is Tastee subs. We all know the place and what to expect. Sandwiches are always very good, never a disappointment just not great in my opinion. The reason for only three stars and not four is the picture of that hack holding the sun that turns my stomach every time I walk in.plus the Covid barriers are getting pretty old to look at. It's over! Time to move on read more

Don't like the shabby exterior fool you - Tastee's subs are the best! Just ask Obama - he visited in 2016! The subs are simple but delicious (or dare I say...tastee?), and inexpensive but massive (way bigger than a subway footlong for a fraction of the price). The service is fast so you can easily grab a sub to go during your lunch break, even if there is a huge line (which there always is). Meats and cheeses are sliced to order, so you know they're fresh. And although the topping options are limited, it makes ordering so much faster for indecisive people like me. You can't go wrong with their #5 sub (ham, cappacola, salami, prosciutto, and cheese of choice) with hot peppers. If you get oil and vinegar (which you definitely should), make sure to cradle your sub like a baby so all the juice doesn't leak out of the bag! I'm never going back to Subway. read more

I Love Tastee Sub Shop. You definitely get a bang for your buck!!!! Fat sandwiches. This place is a must!!!!! read more

Ordered the 8" super sub. The bread is soft and the bread to meat ratio is perfect. The ingredients are always fresh. I love this place!

If you're from Central Jersey, you know that Tastees has the best subs to have ever existed. I have gotten subs from well known delis all through the state and nothing compares to this place. There is usually a long line out the door during lunch rush, but the staff is very efficient, the line moves pretty quickly and is definitely worth the wait. All of the meat and cheeses are sliced fresh when you place your order and the texture of the bread is perfect. At the end of the line you can customize your subs with standard toppings - but don't forget to ask for hot chilis! Please also be aware they sectioned off their dine-in tables due to covid. My family and friends have been coming here for the past 10 years and have never been disappointed - if I could give more than 5 stars I would! read more

Old school sub shop that's been here forever because of good service, prices and fresh ingredients.

Tastee is a favorite in Central NJ, which is obvious if you've ever sat in traffic on Plainfield Ave. and watched the constant flow of customers make its way in and out of the place. I went with the #5 (whole @ $9.73), which has everything #1, #2, and #3 come with--pressed ham, boiled ham, salami, cappacola, prosciuttini, and cheese. As everyone else mentioned, the bread is soft; it's not the crusty and chewy kind you find elsewhere. With regards to the size of the whole sandwich, the length is pretty much on par with other sub shops I've been to. While the sandwiches aren't exactly "stacked" or packed with plenty of meat, the ratio of vegetables to cold cuts is on point. While I haven't had the chance to compare Tastee to other sub shops in the area yet, sandwiches here are done right and done well. Sandwiches here may not be "gourmet," but the ingredients are fresh, the sandwiches are large and filling, and are reasonably priced. read more

Great subs, its definitely my go to when im in Nj. I greww up around the corner and my Dad grew up by the train station been going my whole life always better than the rest read more

I went with the whole super sub. It contained ham, salami, cappacola, proscuittini with cheese. I opted for provolone cheese along with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayonnaise, hot peppers, and oil and vinegar. Like usual, the sub was tremendous. There was plenty of meat and the bread appeared to be fresh. read more

I've been in Edison about 10 years. I've been only to a few sandwich places since I've been here. This place might be one of the best I had so far. It reminds me of a place I ate at growing up back home. read more

First off let me start off by saying I really really love a sub sandwich!! I tried Tastee a couple days ago while visiting the area. In my opinion ( and I've eaten at ALOT of sandwich shops) this is the best sub I've ever had so far!!! The meat was delicious and fresh, the bread is superb, the ingredients were just the right amount, and something about their mayo just makes the sandwich!! Ive visited edison for an orientation and I got lunch from here every single time!! I will miss it when I'm not required to come to edison anymore but will absolutely take the drive from bloomfield to get a sub once in a while especially being that they close at 11pm !! Another plus for the hours!!! read more

Been a frequent visitor for a long time, about once or twice a month and sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. Havent been able to visit the past year but i can say that the staff seem... lifeless and stale like the past 2 subs i got in past 2 weeks. I went in a downtime too, they were working but it didnt give off the same vibe and energy i used to see and sense. The roastbeef have gotten dry, the lettuce used to glisten but now its feels and tastes like vinyl. Before even without the "extra meat" it was huge. At least the bread is good still but even that seems smaller or am i trippin. Perhaps they are burnt out from corona (essential worker) or internal strife within the establishment. I'll probably continue to visit to see if it was just a blip. read more

If you haven't tried to place yet, you are missing out on really great subs! The meat and cheese taste so fresh, as well as the toppings. There aren't that many toppings to choose from but that's okay! It's the quality, not quantity that really makes this place so good. If you pay with cash, you get a bit of a discount too. If you plan on going during your lunch break, I recommend calling ahead and ordering for just pick up. The lines get insane and go all the way to the outside. It's a small place too, so not that many tables to sit and eat at. read more

I've been coming here for so many years. The sandwiches have always been consistently good. I do wish they had sweet peppers, but I've learned to accept that they are not changing just for me. I also love their macaroni salad, add a bag of chips, and you've got an entire meal that's worth eating..slowly..savoring every bite. The bread is soft, the toppings are plenty, and the meat is sliced perfectly. I'm not in the area anymore, so I don't visit as often; however, it's great to know Tastee is still a reliable place to get great sandwiches. read more

Wow A. This is the best sandwich shop I have ever been to. When I was enrolled in Rutgers I would go to Tastees every month. Their portions are very generous so you can have 2-3 servings if you get a whole. Poor student budgeting trick :) The bread was soft and fresh and the meats were very delicious. You get to see the meat cut and sandwich being prepared right in front of you. When I go, there is always a line so you know this place is legit and is known by the locals. I get the Honey Roasted Turkey sandwich every time I go, but their Tuna subs is amazing as well. Remember don't forget to get the hot pepper on the side as that will kick your taste buds to a whole another level. read more

Good place to stop in an area full of foreign food (not that there is anything wrong with that). The only mistake I made when ordering was getting a whole sub, which is 16 inches. I could have settled for the half size. Since this was my first time here I went off their recommendation and got the #5, which is a combo of their 1-3 sandwiches. And it's simple. Nothing fancy to it. Meat was sliced fresh. Roll was fresh. As many have reported it is a little messy. So make sure you are not eating it while driving, or without napkins. And only $.50 for a small bag of chips. Cant beat that. read more

Okay the truth hurts so I'm sorry if some of you don't agree with what I am about to say. This is the all time best Sub place ever. Granted they have a second location but this place Wow. Decent size seating area. They run a tight shit like a factory line. With any Sub you need two main things. Good bread and fresh meat. Anything else in between is all you. The tuna subs are also good and I'm very picky but it's made to perfection. So if your by yourself for lunch or just want to hang with friends for a bit to eat it's definitely a must try and a MUST have. Does not me what day of the week but lunch time be prepared. They can get very busy. There prices are very reasonable. read more

This review is about the parking lot, not the food. People making a left from Plainfield Ave into the lot is so dangerous and frustrating when all th3 traffic is held up behind them, especially the tractor trailer trucks! No one can pass. The owners don't know what is going on outside but there should be a sign by the driveway reading "No left turn". People are too lazy to go around the block and make a right turn into the lot? read more

I bought a whole sub, last few tines i went there, something is different in their bread. Its not as good did you change venders?

I was born and raised in Edison down the street from Tastee's and still have not found a suitable replacement in all these years. Visiting today, I not only realized how great the subs (and potato/macaroni salads) are there, but how well the team there works together, being able to crank out massive amounts of orders in a short period of time. Definitely adds to customer satisfaction when you can walk in a place that is packed and then get your order in and out in 5 minutes total! Love it here, 5 stars not enough! read more

Local institution. Tastee subs are nothing "fancy" - but the bread is fresh, subs are huge, reasonably priced, and the ingredients are solid and quickly prepared. It's super common to see people walk out with a sack of half a dozen or dozen subs for some office or work groups lunch order. read more

Super delicious, very fast service. Best sub place in Edison if I don't know where to go for food I go there.

Best subs around! It's my favorite place to go! Staff is always friendly and never rushed you! Always busy and everything is always amazing and fresh! read more

This place has gigantic Subs that's juicy, tasty and delicioussssssss it's a distance from our home but it's worth the price and drive.

Got a sub to go from here. The Italian no tomato I think. Well I will say this.... Come hungry cuz these things are HUGE! We're talking like 18 inches or something. It came loaded with delicious meats and cheese and I probably ate half the sub in 5 minutes it was that good. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and are craving a nice sub.... A million times better than Subway. read more

Its sooooo delicious. We stopped by on away back home from the beach, the service is fast, the sub was so good, not like any ordinary sub shop!! My wife had the Italian sub and I had the tuna and everything was delicious. The bread tasted fresh. Definitely going to go before the beach next time. read more

What happened?! Tastee's was a place you could count on to be consistently good. I can't put my finger on it, but, it just isn't the same ;(

I have been going to Tastee subs for 60 years, they have gone down so bad I do not want it for free. A roast beef Whole sub on 7/9/23. DRIED out meat, DEAD, 3 slices of tomato sooo thin you could see through them, 4 strands of onion, 2 table spoons of lettuce, they forgot the oregeno and pepper. Within 2 hours bad stomachache, many trips to the bathroom. I put off calling till Wed. My wife said I should inform them. I did, and they are not going to do anything about it. Some customer relations. I would give 0 stars but at least one is necessary. read more

Ahh yes...it is what it is...a efficient sub making joint. You get in line, first person cuts the meat you order, 2nd person puts toppings and third person handles the cash register. A very mechanical atmosphere and the ambiance is simple and basic Jersey. What is basic jersey?, just go in and order your sub and I think you'll know what I mean. The sub: There is beauty in simplicity and it works. I agree with a fellow yelper that the bread they use is good, the meat is not bad, but when I ordered everything on it for toppings they seem to be skimpy on tomatoes, onions, and didn't really offer other condiments. read more

I've been stopping in for years... when I have a craving... but today I was a bit disappointed... Nice they have whole wheat as an upcharge. Got a Supersub with everything and mayo... should have specified oil and vinegar and mayo... bread was nice but got soggy.. I think the lettuce was wet... yuck. Upcharge for a pickle and it was gritty... double yuck...Guess the place has gone downhill since Obama visited... read more
