My wife and I were told about this sub shop by our PNC bank representative. We had the hot prime rib hero with sweet peppers. It was amazing. The beef was very tender and the bread was light and airy, not heavy or dense. I'm not usually into peppers but these peppers ate made in house by the shop owner and were outstanding. We also had the French fries, which were also excellent. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of salt. The shop is not very large and has about a half dozen tables or so for eating in. Each table sits about 4 people. The store is well lit and very clean. There are clean restrooms for your convenience. We enjoyed the food so much, we went back a week later. I had the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy, moist and tender. The owner is proud of his business and he should be. He told us he's been in business almost forty years It appears that he has a loyal following with the local residents. Many of the customers addressed him by his name. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend this sandwich shop. read more

Friendly owner, hearty portions. Cold subs are piled high with a salad's worth of veg and a fork may come in handy. The house sweet peppers and dressed lettuce mentioned in other reviews did not disappoint. read more

Turtles Subs Etc - Salad Near Me - Hagerstown, Maryland

Turtles, has been in Hagerstown town since 1987 and I see why! The owner took our order and delivered it he was very kind and even cut our sub for us. We wanted a quick snack as we traveled from Baltimore to Pittsburgh and this didn't disappoint. The shop was clean and in a nice shopping center with plenty of parking. The sandwich was on a perfect hoagie with Italian meats and almost a small salad on top. The star was herbs, oil and peppers. We will absolutely be back and if you're in the area added to your list! read more

Great sandwiches and salads! I've had several and they are all good! Owner is always pleasant! Their seasoned lettuce is delicious on anything! read more

An excellent place for overstuffed subs! The salad is also top notch. Mr Lee keeps this place spotless and is a wonderful person that you just love to support. By the way, make sure you get some of his homemade sweet peppers! read more

Ahhh, this place doesn't disappoint. All I have to say is once you've had one of their subs with their specially seasoned lettuce, you will be hooked (unless your taste buds are malfunctioning). Don't let the appearance of the place fool you whenever you walk in- it's definitely a simple looking place but it's clean and the owners are friendly people who humbly know that their subs are to die for and are always happy to see their customers . I highly recommend the chicken sub. read more

Subs , at least the steak n cheese is always delicious. Never had one that wasn't tasty. Only draw back is online will say show open and you arrive and their closed ! Has happened a quite a few times. Now I just call every single time before leaving the house. read more

This Hagerstown staple always brings a smile to my face with its delicious food. I first visited Turtles when I was kid and recently visited after a much too long absence. Eating one of Turtles' cheesesteak sandwiches is like being a kid again. The steak is cooked just right, the bread is soft and fluffy and the provolone adds the right amount of cheesy goodness. I usually opt for plain lettuce on my sandwiches, but Turtles also offers "seasoned" lettuce which takes your sandwich or salad up another notch with a tasty dressing. Not only is the food outstanding, but so is the service. Since childhood, the owner always greets and talk to me like I'm a member of his family. He truly cares about his customers and makes them feel special. Highly recommended! read more

Turkey sub with their special sauce and sweet peppers was EXCELLENT! Loved the Mtn. Dew/Pepsi as well. Met the owner who was very kind gentleman. We'll be back next time we're going through Hagerstown! Thank you. read more

So much more than subs, and so much better than ALL of the chain subs combined. The place was clean and well kept. The owner is a very nice guy. Food was very good, and the price is very fair. Big sandwich. Was a great lunch. I love places like this. Good food, good people. read more

Hands down, no question, the very best subs period! this man is amazing! I love his sweet peppers!! never scimps on anything. we have been eating at Turtles for a very long time. read more

My favorite is the steak and cheese salad with sweet peppers and tomatoes. If you don't want the bread, this is a perfect twist on a typical steak and cheese. If you want the regular steak and cheese, they have that as well, plus anything else you may want to try. read more

The turkey sub is HUGE! Inside this container is a fork! No wrapping up in paper here, it is literally covered in lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and sweet peppers. You can't hold half of it with one hand and I'm 6'3" tall with basketball hands. This is a nice little mom and pop shop tucked away in this suburban shopping center. The owner and staff are extremely nice willing to please. The fries and wings are ordinary, but their subs are OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend! read more

Turtles Subs Etc - Front of menu - Salad Near Me - Hagerstown, Maryland

Best hot subs in Hagerstown. Portion are very large. Great service. Outstanding value which isn't common these days.

Little hole in the wall sub shop with fresh meats and good seasoned lettuce. There are nothing flashy about this place, but I want that when I'm looking for a solid sandwich or salad option. All of their subs can be made Into salads too. I got the Italian hoagie salad with the seasoned lettuce and thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

How long should it take to make a sandwich? Called in an order in the late afternoon and was told to wait 30 mins... already a long time but I thought they might be busy. After arrival, I waited inside another 20 minutes for two hot subs and one cold sub. In this time, there was not a single other customer who came in the restaurant or any deliveries etc. That being said, the food was not worth the wait. Also the restaurant is dirty inside. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

Seriously the BEST cheese steak in the Hagerstown area!!! If you haven't tried one yet...get yourself over to Turtle's and order one. First off, they're almost too big to pick up!! Secondly, they dress the cheese steak with the most delicious seasoned lettuce and sweet peppers that you've ever tasted. Third, they are just damn good. If you aren't into bread, opt for the cheese steak salad!! Same deliciousness without bread, and you get more of that seasoned lettuce!! We also really enjoy their buffalo wings...simply sauced and just hot enough. read more

The worst roast beef sub I have ever eaten for the money. Lots of lettuce and tomatoes, some cheese and very little roast beef. If you want a real roast beef sub, take a drive to Chambersburg to The Butcher Shop or Maplewood in Shippensburg; it's worth the drive to get a real sub. read more

We have enjoyed their food for several years! Always ordering the same thing. Called in order just before closing time and order was ready when I arrived 15 minutes later. Great short order place to get carry out or eat inside. read more

A nice little local eatery. The staff are super friendly, the restaurant is nice and clean, the food was good, and the prices are very reasonable. Another plus is that they have a soda fountain where you can refill your own sodas. You don't always see that in small places. Their subs, while not huge, were pretty good too. The only suggestion I might have for them is to kick their fries up a notch. While the fries were good, they were pretty basic, so you guys should come up with your own seasoning for them, which you likely would do very well with. If not, you could at least have some crab spice, mayo, or vinegar standing by for them. But that's about my only suggestion. Everything else was pretty solid. Oh! They have their own seasoned lettuce. What, you ask? Seasoned lettuce. Well I've never heard of such a concoction, you say!?!! And to all that, I say: l hate lettuce. In fact, I liken it to chewing on random-plant-infused water... You know, as if lettuce were a physical miracle that could turn water into a solid without a reduction in temperature, all the while making it taste like your front lawn. BUT! I gave it a go. And if anybody would have me ordering lettuce on my sandwich, this place would be it. Like your Mom always used to say, "Try it. You might like it!" And try this little sub shop too. You just might like it... read more

The best food in town. If you want a sub/sammich , delicious salad or some great wings give them a call ASAP!!!

The owner opened 30 minutes later than advertised, but we where in the area and we waited cause the reviews. We ordered a cheesesteak which was tasty, soft bread, and good amount of cheese. I wanted to like it more but it was just ok. The wings I would not recommend, the where crispy and cooked well and the blue cheese was great but the hot sauce was just buffalo sauce. My wife got the fried chicken sandwich and she thought it was "just ok". I really wanted to like this place cause the service was great. read more

Good for Hagerstown I guess... Italian sub had next to zero meat & cheese but was loaded with lettuce & tomatoes. Seasoned lettuce was a pleasant surprise & was fantastic but over all the sandwich it was just ok... to many veggies and bread. read more

Turtles Subs Etc - Italian sub. - Salad Near Me - Hagerstown, Maryland

I think I just made the wrong choice of sandwich. I was looking for a tuna wrap and they don't make wraps so I had a tuna sub......it's just not the way I wanted it because a sub roll is too thick. It might have been better to get a steak and cheese. The owner was behind the counter and so nice! I hadn't been to Turtles in about 20 years and it was previously in downtown Hagerstown. Now it's on the outskirts of Hagerstown. We talked about how long the business has been around. I might return to get a steak and cheese because of the popularity of that sub but my search was for a wrap because it's less bread, thinner. It just wasn't what I was in the mood for. read more

This was a great place for subs and more. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak, my sister and son ordered ham and cheese subs (my sisters was hot and my son ordered cold). The subs were all fantastic. They clearly use quality ingredients and family recipes for things. The thing we're still talking about is the "special lettuce." My son doesn't like lettuce but he loved this. The gentleman helping us out told us everyone loves it and bet my son would too. . . he was right. We'll definitely make a trip back here from Michigan. read more

Twice in one week. What a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall. The sub rolls they use are light and fluffy. Tried the Italian the first trip and the cheese steaK the 2nd trip.....both equally tasty with great toppings. Great fast service. read more

I love this mom and pop restaurant. Food is excellent with a touch of love included in every item. You can not go wrong with whatever you order off the menu. read more

Nice folks but not sure how this place is so highly rated on both Yelp and Google. We were starving and got 3 different sandwiches and 1 soda. Came to $41 and change including tip. For that price, I expected large subs but these were 8 inch subs I think (maybe smaller?). The steak and cheese was somehow cold even though we were the only ones there and had to wait for our order. The other 2 sandwiches were very bland. It was super disappointing. read more

I love this place. A true Hagerstown classic! The best authentic, genuine tasting subs in the area! Love their seasoned lettuce and their rolls are awesome! Huge servings! read more

Turtles Subs Etc - Salad Near Me - Hagerstown, Maryland

Stopped by traveling thru. Great tuna sandwich. Had the Jamaica jerk wings. My friend had cheesesteak. It's worth a try.

Took a drive today and stopped at Turtle's Subs for a sandwich. What a great surprise! The roast beef sub was fantastic and my husband was equally pleased with his hot steak and cheese sub. The sandwiches are large and come with lettuce that has been nicely seasoned. Their hot and sweet peppers are made in-house and are not to be missed. Clean, friendly! I'm coming back as soon as I can! read more

Great food! Good service! Steak and cheese was delicious... Good flavor, but the fresh roll made the sub! Wings were really good... Medium wasn't super spicy but had a delicious flavor!! Love the seasoned lettuce they top their subs with also!! read more

The food might be good, but I'll never know. On this day, the google listing said they were open until 7:00 and that you could dine in or carry out. This was my first time coming here on a recommendation. I arrived at about 5:35pm. I approached the door and saw a sign saying "masks required" and that they closed at 6 and that they are only accommodating carry out. So, my fiancé went back to the car to get our masks. The man behind the counter held his hands up with 6 fingers indicating they were closing at 6. I opened the door, verbalized understand and explained I was waiting on a mask. He then told me if I wanted food I better come in and order right now before the kitchen closes. So, my fiancé got back with a mask and we went in to order. I got "can I have 12 mild" out and he cut me off saying wings take 20 minutes and it's already 5:40 so I couldn't order wings. He was incredibly rude, and last time I checked 5:40 plus 20 minutes is 6:00 (when they close), but who am I... As soon as we walked out (without ordering) he locked the door behind us and closed the blinds. 20 minutes early. I will never go back there after the way were treated. We went to Benny's pub instead and enjoyed delicious wings, phenomenal service. Save your money, and go to Benny's. read more

Really nice sandwich shop. Sweet peppers on the steak and cheese are awesome! To top it off, the owners are simply wonderful. Would definitely come back again. read more

The service was ok. The food was nothing great. I ordered a club sandwich that was boring. For $9 dollars I was expecting something decent. They have a beautiful sign up for drink kind of frozen fruit drinks. I ask for 1 and was told they were out. I ask the gentleman why because I was told that before. His response was we don't carry that anymore . I than said why not take sign down. He said then everyone would see the dirt on the wall. So he keeps it up advertising something they don't even have. read more

I got a Reuben from here and it was delicious! The employee at the register was also friendly. I ordered my sandwich to-go and I waited less than 5 minutes. I also appreciated that they put the dressing on the side (without me asking) so my sandwich wasn't soggy. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was because I thought the decor could stand to be updated, but everything else about the place was good. Tables were clean. read more
