    Club sandwich with Turkey
    Linda M.

    Loooove!!! We were in the neighborhood for a marriage counseling appt. We needed a quick lunch and found TJs! Loooooved it. The two people there were so sweet and welcoming. It's literally like a mom made you your sandwich. Yes it's simple maybe too simple but sometimes that's the best thing!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very cute and I'll def be back when I'm in the neighborhood!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Amazing sandwiches every time! Support your local family owned business. Congratulations on 50 years in Artesia!

    Tj's Submarines gives you exactly what you're looking for in a sub! The chewy, soft bread and fresh ingredients make these sandwiches perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is clean, very well-kept and has a unique and charming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were quick to take my order and get it out to me. If I lived in the area, this would be my regular spot for a quick, delicious lunch!

    Best sandwich in town. Beautiful power couple working the station! Please be sure to stop by and enjoy a delicious sub. Good quality grub. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Soon as you walk in there are awesome newspapers displayed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 would definitely come again. I ordered the Turkey blt. Which the good sir suggested. Glad I trusted his instincts, it's like he took one look at me and knew what I'd like

    My favorite local sandwich shop. Been coming here for years. Family owned. Owners are very nice and always welcoming. I always get the same sandwich because that's how good it is. I never want anything else. I order their turkey bacon sandwich with everything on it add mustard. I love how they crumble their bacon. Bacon in every bite. I do miss their chicken soup. I hope they bring it back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small shop. Tables available inside. Always clean. Quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

    First time here

    Clean and cozy mom and pop sub sandwich shop. I love the old school feeling of this place. The proprietor a older gentleman and I believe his wife. What I like it's not a subway or Jimmy John's type so patients waiting for your order. These kind of establishments are key to the community. So the subs come in 6 in or 10 inch the menu board is old school so ask what come in your sandwich. These are made to order so it makes it great. They have a vegetarian sandwich that's cool ! Nice looking sandwich and first bite. Mmmm I like it it is good very good well made taste fresh better then the the chain shops. I had the pastrami no mustard don't judge lol pickles and a dash of mayo. My wife got Mestball sub. She has only had subway and made her own. The sub is good marinara sauce is good out does subway. Cleanliness = 8 Quality = 8 Taste = 9 Customer service = 8 Packaging = 8 Overall = 9 I would come back

    When you're craving an old-school style hoagie and a real sub sandwich spot, it seems like the usual suspects of mass produced, average sub sandwich shops exist too frequently. Luckily, places like TJ's still exist and are the reason why you should absolutely support non-chain and local businesses. I stumbled across this sub shop while looking and craving for a sandwich spot. Thanks to Yelp I was able to discover it as I regularly visit from out of town. These sandwiches always hit the spot and are made with love. Personally, my favorite is the club sandwich and the cool thing is any of the subs can be made as salads. They have a nice variety of sandwiches as well as chips to pair with your subs. There is plenty of indoor dining and is a fantastic spot for lunch. From every visit I notice there is a steady stream of regulars for lunch and that's fantastic to see. I love finding local spots like this. You can also order ahead if you're on a time crunch, but they do a great job of making your subs in a timely manner whether it's for to go or dining in. Definitely would strongly recommend!

They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. Very casual and chill. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Service: I was greeted right when I entered. She asked if I had any questions and offered help. There's two self ordering kiosks. You can also order takeout. Throughput took a little over 10 minutes. Food: I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with baja chipotle sauce and waffle fries. Their sandos are my favorite menu items. Perfect for lunch. The chicken katsu was fried and seasoned deliciously. The bread was milky and light. The waffle fries tasted as expected. My only tip is try to eat the sandos asap. Otherwise the bread might get too soft. I really wanted the strawberry sandos for dessert, but they were out of stock that day. Highly recommend trying the sandos! Pricing: They have daily deals at an extremely affordable price. Honestly everything on their menu is worth its price. Will definitely be visiting this small chain again!

Now I stood in front of this establishment their 4 screen menu and special that jump on the screen, for two specials. BBQ bacon chopped sandwich.. You can watch the grill as the cook staff makes the food. Impressive how the young man manages the grill with pride. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is made to order so it takes a few minutes which is great because it's fresh and hot. The special we got was any sandwich and drink and they had two more special flashing that's why it took a few to decide. The sandwiches were well made hot, tasty and good size drinks also good size. So so tasty so filling, bread to meat ratio well done.

I tried the Spicy Jalapeno Smash Burger, patty was nicely seasoned, but nothing popped. Sauce was ok, ingredients were ok, fries were nice but. Ot enough tj bring the rating from a solid 3. Solid Mid-rating, not the best but def not the worst. Did not try the chopped cheese samich, did not want to be more disappointed than what I already was.

I almost always order the Mini Club on herb bread, and the sandwiches are consistently fresh. The ingredients taste fresh, the bread is good, and the restaurant itself is always clean. My biggest complaint is the price. While the food is good, it feels expensive for what you get. My mini sub and a bag of chips came out to over $12, and the sandwich is only about four inches long. Even a bag of chips is around $2.50, so the cost adds up quickly. The other thing I'd like to see improved is hand hygiene. I've noticed employees sometimes go from working the cash register back to making sandwiches. While they may put on a fresh pair of gloves, I'd personally prefer to see handwashing before handling food again. That's just my opinion, but it's something I pay attention to, especially when it comes to food preparation. Overall, the food is fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the sandwiches are consistently good. I just wish the prices were a little more reasonable and that there was a stronger emphasis on hand hygiene.

It's the kind of spot I'd gladly bring more of my basketball guys to because it's the perfect place to fuel up with a well-balanced meal before or after a game, practice, or any kind of basketball activity. I've never always been the biggest sandwich person, but honestly, Board and Brew changed that for me. Now I realize I just hadn't found the right sandwich spot yet. The flavors here are so good, so satisfying, and so memorable that it completely changed my perspective. And I really need to know what's in that secret sauce because it is absolutely elite and easily rivals some of the best sauces out there. I can't lie--the Turkado and the baja chicken are my go-to orders, and they never disappoint. Every bite hits with the perfect balance of texture, fresh veggies, and bold flavor. It's the kind of food that makes you excited to come back again and again. And of course, do yourself a favor and get extra sauce because once you taste it, you'll want even more.
