Ye Olde Sub Base - super Italian. awesome! - Sandwiches Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

See all

Simply the Best! Beer cheese soup has been a family favorite for many years now. They're subs are to die for and the drinks and snacks just add to the whole meal. Staff is always great too. read more

Great subs. Lived in Clinton most of my life. When I go back I usually get a sub. Good quality cold cuts and bread. What you want when getting subs. And you get to walk around Main St Clinton and take in the Red Mill and River. Really best to order out. Call ahead. The store is small. Half subs are usually under $5 which is nice. read more

Fresh meats, fresh bread, overall fresh ingredients all around!! Service is fast and friendly and the sandwiches are plentiful and stacked!!! I had the Bowser, a must try!!! Definitely stop in if you find yourself in the neighborhood for some good eats!!! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE especially when you are craving a real sub. Everything about it is fresh, the bread, the deli meat, and the mayo. Great soup specials and the staff is extremely friendly. It almost feels like you stepped back into time. Awesome place for a good lunch! read more

I got the Italian sub and beer cheese soup about a week ago. The Soup was really good. Not too much salt, just about as good of a cheese soup as I have had. The sub, which is what I really went there for was just ok. I am from the area, and it may be one of the better choices in clinton, but not even close to some of the sandwiches you can get 30 minutes east of here. The bread was a bit disappointing, the meat was average and peppers just ok. One last thing, a sandwich is about $17, which is about double what Fiore's in hoboken charges for their 18" and this place is no Fiore's. May go back for the soup but not the sandwich. read more

This place also has great subs in clinton. I was sick one week and was looking for chicken soup. The guy working advised me to go next door to the diner because they didn't have chicken soup that day. That was very nice of him. I have had there subs also and they are great! read more

Possibly the best sub place in NJ. Loads of meats and cheeses dressed well. Good selection and I love the specials. Fresh pickles too read more

Great sandwiches and super friendly staff.. I can't believe I've lived here for almost 7 years and just ate here for the first time today.. will definitely be back! read more

I was in town for a day and needed lunch. I found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. Very happy I did. I had a tuna salad sub and mistakenly ordered a "whole". It was at least a foot long - and not the skimpy footlongs at a national chain I'll never go to that are more bread than filling. The tuna here tasted fresh, as were the toppings, and all were very generously portioned. But for me the bread makes or breaks the sandwich. In this case, the huge sub roll was fabulous! If I'm ever in the area again in need of lunch, this is where I'm going! read more

You truly get what you pay for and the service is great. Pros: Service and choice and great soups too! Prices are just right and you get a better portions then the other sub eateries in and around Clinton. Cons: You have to time it right in the day to get your food as sometimes they run out of bread and they close up shop early. This could be a drag when your looking to get some good food in town. read more

I've never had a better sub in my life. Literally my first stop when I'm home on leave; my family understands, they meet me here. MUST try the Beercheese, it's life-changing. read more

Great subs and service! Worth a visit!! You won't regret it ! We love their meatball subs and shrimp salad sub.

I grew up in Hunterdon County but had never been to Ye Olde Sub Base, until the other day. They were also a featured sub place on the munchmobile tour, so I knew I had to give this place a shot. Located on Main St in Clinton, it's a pretty cool place. Pretty big and extensive menu but not a lot of tables to sit at. Maybe 4-5. I must say that the service was awesome. We ordered our sandwiches and they were in front of us before you knew it. This place definitely has their act together. As far as the subs go, my wife and I split their super italian sub. It was good - it definitely wasn't loaded with meat but it was a very solid sub. Good quality meats and the veggies tasted very fresh, too. I would have to think this is easily one of the best sandwich shops in Hunterdon County. They probably don't have a ton of competition, but this place would be decent anywhere. I am not saying it is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had but it was a good meal. On a couple of side notes, I thought the prices were very reasonable and they had a very good drink and chip selection. I think any good deli should have a solid chip selection. This place delivers on that. Overall, a very solid sandwich shop. read more

I've been coming here for years and the sandwiches never disappoint! Yesterday I had a plain old turkey sub that was delicious. I can't believe how big the small sandwich is! My husband ordered the Italian sub and wolfed it down - a hallmark of his approval. What makes this spot extra delicious is the bread. It is super fresh and tasty. read more

Great bread which is critical to great subs. Only reason they are not a 5 is that they just don't make a great Pastrami and rye, and Tongue forget about it they don't even know what it is. read more

After having their chicken tortilla soup and falling in love, I constantly find myself comparing it to all the others I try. Nothing compares. I'd say if you haven't tried sub base the soups are worth it alone read more

Great food but overpriced. 1 roast beef sub, 1 small soup and two soda $26.00. Rent must be high in this Richie rich area.

Love it! It's just all you want from a sub shop...friendly people and great subs on awesome bread EVERY TIME. Agree about the soups too-never thought to get them until someone recommended and they're all delicious. It's pretty small in there though with just a few tables so plan to take it on the go, which is never a problem in this pretty town...eat it by the river or take it to the nearby park. read more

Great subs at good prices. The subs are packed with meat and the people working there were great. I would suggest the Bowser.

By far one of the best delis in the area. Sandwiches exceptional, homemade soups are killer, and chili everyday. Only challenge is parking..,overall - incredible. Highly, Highly recommended. read more

Been here several times and each time the sub has gotten less enjoyable. I get the super Italian and the meat is just not the same. I do not think it is Thumann's or it is not the same Thumann's I get from Primo subs I get in Easton. Won't be going back as I think it is on par with Quiznos now but more expensive. The size is good but I am looking for meat flavor and it is just not there. read more

Amazing food. I work in clinton at a busy salon, we don't always have time to run out and get lunch, they deliver! Which is great. They have messed up a few times with the order but are always accommodating and bring us up the right order! Give it a try and ignore the rude teenagers working read more

Why anyone would even THINK of going to one of those chain places, I'll never know. Good sandwiches freshly cut and made with more than three slices of low-quality meat, friendly service and priced better than the chains. read more

Great fresh sandwiches, good prices, friendly staff, delicious beer cheese soup!

Some of the best soup i ve ever had. Beer cheese is my favorite. Pricey buy worth. 5$ is alot for just soup. Subs. Best in the area

I have yet to have a bad sub from this place. The subs are massive, delicious, and they'll make the just how you like it. Meat quality is excellent and bread is outta this world. Their beer cheese soup is to die for - seriously good stuff. read more

Very good subs here, the Italian sub was great, and the tuna was very good white albacore. It's small inside and hard to find a table at lunch. read more

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I wish I could marry that beer cheese soup. That was the greatest soup ever!!!! Not watery and you could find a great taste of cheese. Outstanding. read more

Started coming here about 7 months ago. It is, hands down my favorite sub spot in the tri-state area. Subs are my thing, so I've been to quite a few places. Nothing comes close to Ye Old. Quick service and a chill environment. Run, don't walk! read more

Downtown Clinton is a wonderful place to visit, charming early America revised! Ye Olde Sub Base is a true east coast Deli, fantastic lunch options. Meats, bread, sides - everything like it should be! read more

Hands down the best hoagies in the area. Portions are excellent, everyone is super friendly, and they change the menu regularly. What more could you want from a local sub shop?! read more

The half subs are enormous and I'm glad they were cut in half as that's as much as I could eat. I had an Italian sub which was overflowing with meat and cheese. One reviewer indicated that the subs are loaded with mayo--mine had none (and as I mayo lover, I wouldn't have minded some), but it was still very tasty with oil, oregano and vinegar. read more

Great local sub shop for lunch. Great portions, friendly staff, and a huge menu.

The subs are great. Beer cheese soup is one of my all time favorites. Good service. Wish they were open a little later

I am here at least once a week for their fantastic soups!! You must try them all but Chicken Tortilla is my absolute favorite. Great subs and sandwiches too and the guys are all super friendly behind the counter. Being on Main Street with limited parking, you should do a few laps and your bound to get a spot. Parking can suck. But it's worth it for that soup! Highly recommend! read more

I've lived in the Clinton area for my whole life and for the past decade have been making stops at the Ye Olde Sub Base, a locally owned and operated sub shop that is simply put, of the most superb quality. Scott, the owner has always hired great people to work there, and at the time of this review I believe he has his best staff ever - they are all friendly, courteous, and quick in helping you, willing to engage you with a joke or sports talk or world news discussion. Great guys who obviously have a lot of fun together. Five stars for them! But the food they make is also superb. Whether it's one of their forty plus subs on great bread that is baked fresh daily or one of their amazing homemade soups (there simply aren't enough superlatives to describe their world famous BeerCheese!) I can promise you that nothing you order will disappoint! As a bonus they are now making homemade cookies, which, in a word, are divine! Whether you need a great sub or just a place to relax and eat some soup while watching a game I cannot recommend this place too much. I'm looking forward to another decade of dining there! read more

I work locally to them and contacted them to obtain a menu. They advised me to go to the Rewards Network to get their menu, because they do not have a fax machine. I printed the menu from the page, distributed it and took orders. I was VERY disappointed, when I went to pick up the order and was told that the total was more than I collected based on the prices indicated on the RN menu posted. The subs and sandwiches were not that good....the soup was cold and the salads VERY small. We were significantly overcharged based on the menu prices available. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED. If you want a good sub/sandwich in the Clinton area, go to the Annandale Deli....MUCH BETTER! read more

I love Sub Base. They give you a lot of food for a good price. The owner is dedicated and passionate. They are always expedient and fair. Delicious fresh food. Beer Cheese soup is the best! read more

omg the beer cheese soup alone is enough to keep us coming back! amazing. ... The subs are fantastic too thoughand a good size. This place doesn't disappointed read more
