Great subs with really soft and delicious bread. Been here for over 50 years and still popular. Service is very good as they treat everyone with care. Ambiance is like old school deli. read more

I have had tuna subs at Amiel's previously that were very good but this last time it was the absolute worst sub I have ever had. The tuna had too much mayonnese , it was soupy. There was also too much tuna , couldn't close the roll around it. It was a mess to eat. read more

I took my friend on a day trip to a concert in Buffalo and swung through Rochester on the way. We stopped at her favorite sub shop, Amiel's. She sugested that I try a roast beef sub with lots of hot peppers and LOTS of the oil "dressing", "can't find anything like it anywhere!" Boy, it was GOOD. They make the roast beef every day and slice it to order. The bread is soft and fresh; they sell the day-old bread too! Get your sandwich with an extra side of the dressing! I'd stop there again any time! The shop is a walk-up counter with a friendly person that greeted us. Inside, there's a diner-vibe, which is clean. read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - roast beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

I ordered a tuna submarine sandwich. The tuna look like they took a scoop and spread it across the bread. Really was disappointed since they had the best tuna sub. read more

After reading a lot of positive reviews about their "amazing" roast beef, a coworker and I decided to give this place a shot. I was shocked walking in at lunchtime, and seeing absolutely nobody else in the place. It was a lot cleaner than the reviews all claimed. The people working inside were super friendly. Ordered a large roast beef sub online, with cheese sauce, toasted and buttered - $11. This was a completely disappointing sandwich. The roast beef, while tender, was completely bland. Both my coworker and I searched our office for condiments to try and give this thing some actual flavor. There was a very tiny smidge of cheese sauce on it - if there had been a generous amount, this might have became a slammin' sammie. I couldn't even detect whether it was actually toasted and buttered or not. I ended up throwing half of my half of it away. I had very high hopes for Amiel's, but they went unmet. read more

Subs are usually great, the roast beef is good and should be! If you look over the "decor" and don't expect a white glove test to pass... I'd get the food to go. Not sure if I've had the same person make a sub for me twice, seems like a big turn over, so some have made great subs... others ... meh. Occasionally I've had one of the most kick a$$ subs ever (besides the superior Rubino's) and other times... meh. Bread was good, Vegs seem good, RB is good. Sometimes I choose elsewhere. read more

The tuna sub was good but very little tuna was on it. The 3 young men who were in the store had NO supervision. After they made our sub they went behind the cash register and smoked there vapes, and were eating pizza then returned to the sub counter for a take out and then after making the new peoples subs the 3 young men went back to smoking there vapes and screaming and laughing and screaming about someone and calling them a F---er and how they want to kill them. THIS WAS SICKENING AND SO UNPROFESIONAL. WHAT IS WITH THIS SUB SHOP.????????????? DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER GO BACK AGAIN read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. They have the best subs I have had. I was in the area visiting friends and they mentioned this place. They went on and on about the bread and how they butter it through a machine. So we stopped in and gave it a try. This place has been around for YEARS The atmosphere is that of an old school diner. Large tattered bench seats, tables and block glass adorns the decor. Bright colors and a quick friendly vibe The lines are long as ever during lunch time. There are people coming in and waiting patiently.. The menu is pretty straight forward there are select named subs or build your own. I opted for a Turkey and Roast Beef They offer basic topics and seasonings We ate inside and ended up having the greatest conversation with the owner. He was changing light bulbs and just chatting away. He offered us free cookies The staff was very helpful and friendly If you are ever in Rochester and want a quick simple lunch ..this is a great choice read more

I can't believe I hadn't written a review for them yet! They have my favorite subs!!! Their bread is awesome! It's squishy and soft and never burned or hard. And if you get there early enough (early lunch time) they usually have day old bread loaves that you can get for a $1! They also will toast your sub if you want it that way. I never get it toasted because I love the bread just how it is. I'm a vegetarian, so I get the veggie or the cheese sub. They also have a warm cheddar sauce that I always add to my sub. Yum! The tables are not usually the cleanest, so I prefer to get my sub and go, but they are my absolute favorite! read more

I do love this place whenever I make it out to Rochester. At some point during the drive, I crave a sub from here. The new COVID-19 measures need some work. Ordering online was simple enough. Even when plugging in "ASAP" the wait for a couple of subs was about 45 minutes, but knowing they can be busy and it was a Saturday, I accepted it would take some time. They give you an option of curbside pickup with your order number and you describe your vehicle. We got there, parking lot and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Another car pulled up beside us, and they must have also been waiting for their order. The funny thing is no one was even coming out of the side door where they do curbside orders. We waited and waited and waited again. There were a lot of employees inside and a bit too many people in line putting in orders, which is why curbside is ideal in the first place. The person next to us nearly sideswiped us pulling up to the door the second they saw an employee near it. The employee comes up to their window with an order, they exchange words, but it wasn't their order. It was ours. But instead of bringing it to us, he took it back inside, got their order instead, and then never came back out. Only after calling did another employee bring out the order, by then, we had waited another 45 minutes on top of however long it took to fill the order, and our order wasn't completely right, one of the sizes was wrong, and the hot sub was cold and oily. So yeah, they definitely need to improve the curbside service. read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - Large Turkey and roast beef. - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

Amiel's Subs are quite possibly the best subs in Rochester (in my opinion). It's a shame there's only 2 locations. But I digress...... Bread is baked fresh daily. Toppings are plentiful, and unlike a some "other" sub shops, they have Salt and Pepper as an option. Not sure why other places won't do this. Also they have a great selection of chips and drinks. On the drink's front, they have Cream Soda's. Mmmmmm. Also fountain drinks, though that's turned off during Covid. Outdoor seating and an always friendly staff. If you want a tasty, large, and amazing sub, you can't do much better than Amiel's. read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - BEST SUBS in Rochester now has awesome outside seating!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

Amazing roast beef. They shave it fresh for each sub. I would rank it as one of the best roast beef subs I've ever had. I ordered the Italian assorted. It was decent but the roastbeef was out of this world (I stole some bites from the BF). It was tender, juicy and extra tasty. I will definitely order that in the future. They butter and toast the bread, then add the meat and toppings. They have plain, seeded and wheat as bread options. I wish they would add everything bread but that's about the only thing I was looking for that they didn't have. They have all the usual toppings and condiments. They even have a Cajun spice that you can add to your sub. 100% recommend the roast beef. read more

best sub I have ever had! I got a custom with ham and salami. I was a first timer and the staff was so friendly and helpful! best part was the italian dressing- it really elevated the flavor of the sandwich. I also love the old school diner feel! cannot wait to come back to rochester! read more

I ordered on UberEats - when I arrived, I walked up to the UberEats counter. I showed them the pick up option on my phone and was told they didn't have it. The woman behind the counter told me to speak with the manager. When I spoke with the manager, she was rude and told me they don't DO UberEats. And when I asked why there was a sign?? And a pick up counter?? FOR UBEREATS?? She said there was no one else to discuss it with and nothing to be done about it. I paid through UberEats and had to go back and request a refund. The sheer do-nothing attitude while everyone stared was unbelievable. She told me there was no one else to speak with, nothing to be done. She did not offer to make the subs for me - NOTHING. I haven't had Amiels in 10+ years and I won't ever again. I would have gladly cancelled the order if someone would have made the two subs! But no. "There's nothing to be done and no one else to talk to". What kind of management is that?! read more

We have loved this place for a long time. When you want a good REAL roast beef sandwich this is where you should go. We get the beef-a-miel but one day I will try a sub because everyone I talk to raves about them as well! read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - Beef-A-Miel Beef-With-The-Works - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

The bread is very good; be sure to have it toasted before they assemble the sandwich. I opted for the Bernie (roast beef & turkey). I was somewhat disappointed because the meats were bland--no seasoning whatsoever. Other than that, the toppings were fresh; sub was neatly assembled. I arrived just before the lunch hour. They need help. I saw one person waiting on line, who opted to leave before placing an order. Check out their day old bread for sale. 3 of their sub rolls for a $1 read more

***Takeout Review While visiting in Rochester, Amiel's was suggested as "the best sandwich place." I can honestly say the sandwiches were amazing! Between the seven of us, we tried the Italian, Seafood, Roast beef and Turkey subs. All were excellent and the added butter and toast gave an extra taste treat bonus! Sizes are pretty big, the large looks to be around your typical foot long, so, unless you are feeding several people, I don't recommend the jumbo. If we lived here, I would definitely be trying Amiel's again. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

Bread for submarine sandwich is freshly made and had that unique crunch . Limited choice of veggies just tomato, lettuce, onions, sweet and hot peppers plus dressing. Chips and bottle of water runs around ten bucks! Sometimes buffet is good for variety at Golden Corral next door. Anyway it was good experience. read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - Medium veggie sandwich with chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

Unfortunately this place keeps getting sued by patrons that slip on their way in and out of the restaurant, or the bathrooms. It's obvious that these lawsuit-happy locals are not really hurt. They are simply making "Amiel" out of minor injuries. So sad. What to get: Roast Beef on a sub with everything, toasted buttered, including peppers, dressing, etc. What else: Dan Akroyd's worn underwear. If it were called Apiel's then it would lobby for Death Row inmates to be "let off" and it would help them "get off" in all kinds of ways. At the very least it would extend their lives by 10 years using a series of apiels to delay the execution. By the way I am very opposed to the death penalty, for the record. I feel that nobody has the right to take anybody's life. This place has some of the better sandwiches in Rochester. As long as you eat it right when you get it, the Roast Beef sandwich will rock your world. It's what Arby's always wanted to be, until it realized it was a national chain and simply couldn't be. If it were dirt cheap, then it could be renamed Adiel's for all the great diels you can get. Oh wait, it is dirt cheap. So many it should be. But let's tell you more about this sandwich. The Roast Beef on the sandwich is good, the bread is excellent, toasted buttered improves it, and it's all the bits and bobs that they put on your sandwich (lettuce tomato onions dressing oil peppers cheese mustard) that really makes it work. It's an explosion of flavours in your mouth, kind of like what used to happen when I'd pleasure my ex boyfriend down south. If it were Ahiel's, then it would be a bad guy on McMahon's wrestling show. I wonder which one is the bad guy these days. Speaking of which (sarcasm), I want to mention The Rock in this review. I wonder how I can work him in there (I'm usually very good at working things in there, if you know what I mean). The service is excellent and fast, much like a girl I know in Rochester, and the prices are rock bottom even moreso than Dwayne Johnson's protein powder (sarcasm). Get on down here and give it a try if you haven't. Don't expect culinary genius, just expect a very delicious juicy sandwich that will make you wonder why you ever entered an Arby's. Unless you have never entered Arby's in which case I congratulate you, friend. And if it were Afiel's then every employee would cop afiel of every customer as they walk through the door looking for Adiels, leading to even more lawsuits, molestation and harrassment and making Amiels out of the harmless molestation, meaning the employees would be Ahiels, and that in turn would lead to imprisonment, which would lead to Apiels, which would tie everything together perfectly, except for The Rock. Hmm. Has The Rock ever molested anyone? read more

I drive by this place all the time and had no idea it was even there. So glad a co worker told me about it! Only been here once so far but my God am I madly in love with their subs! Haha. I'm a toasted sub type of person and apparently dibellas cant do that but this place can and will! They use a butter roller before toasting so it's the perfect crunch and adds that extra flavor! It's kinda set up like subway. You walk up to the counter and go down the line of things you want on your sub. They have way more to choose from of course. All the bread is right there to choose from as well. It looks like it was baked all in house so fresh bread daily I'm assuming! Tasted fresh! Since I have never been here before I ordered a small one. The portion size was perfect and the price was cheap! They have a wonderful assortment of chips,cookies and drinks to choose from walking to the check our counter. The staff were extremely bubbly and talkative. I loved it! I didnt eat in but from the few minutes of being in there it was a great experience. The place was clean and kept nice as well! Highly reccomend grabbing lunch here if you're in the mood for a delicious sub! read more

Amiel's is on the "Must Eat At" list when I visit western NY. Every time we even pass through Rochester I need to stop here for my all time favorite sub. I always get the club which has a combination of ham, turkey and roast beef. Their rolls are made in house and are always fresh. You MUST get the butter and toasted option, trust me on this. You have your options of toppings but there's not so many that it overwhelms you. The lettuce is shredded and the onions are sliced thin which I think adds to the sub. The roast beef is freshly sliced right there in front of you and should be a go to if you're not sure what you want. At the end if they ask you if you want salt and pepper, you're answer should be "YES". The difference between a good sub and a great one is seasoning. I truly love coming here and the subs they make. read more

Tough call! I really like their bread especially since it was buttered and toasted. They have this cool toaster that is outfitted with a roll that butters up the bread before it is placed into the toaster. Nice! The quality was fine, their service was very good, their prices are reasonable. What's tough for me is to compare Amiel's with Dibella's and Pelligrino's. I have been going to Dibella's for years - since it was one small shop. And even though something's changed as they grew into a chain, I still like Dibella's. I like the variety of food at Pelligrino's. They are very innovative. So, while Amiel's is not bad, I still prefer the other two better. That's probably more of a personal preference. Enjoy Amiel's buttered up bread! read more

Good food, hobbit-friendly, poor service. We went and each ordered, enjoying the 50's-themed decor. During the course of ordering my partner had a wonderful and charming experience, however the member of staff serving me had clearly just walked back from Mordor to deliver the One Ring; he was surly, ill-tempered, and smelled of orcs. read more

Love the old fashioned diner vibe! I've driven by this place so many times growing up but went there for the first time tonight with my parents after it was recommended to us. Three sizes for subs: small, large and jumbo (which is cut into 4 pieces). They always offer butter and toasting the bread. Combos come with 1/2 a large sub (which was quite filling for me), soup and a drink. Not the best sub I've ever had in my life but it was good. Also the staff was very nice. Overall, the best things for me were: Atmosphere and staff. As for the actual product: Subs were good but short of great. However, I should note that I did not try their signature roast beef because my mom is a are vegetarian...and that could have made all the difference. I did enjoy their American-Swiss cheese blend though. read more

Great subs for years the tuna is my favorite but I love all of their sandwiches. It's my favorite sub shop in town

It's been a while since I visited Amiels; I'm glad I checked them out again. Meals in the past there had been fair to middling, and so it has not been on my short list of places to visit. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped in for a convenient meal. I noticed a few changes to the better. Like Subway & DiBella's, Amiels bakes their rolls on site now. I took the bait and ordered a medium roast beef sub. Wow! I can safely say that I liked the roast beef more than DiBella's Red Osier sub. Prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Free refills on a fixed price soda cup (in store) and good food. With DiBella's now down the road, Amiels should have the sub market cornered! read more

I have been coming to this location for more than 20 years. It's my favorite sub shop in the area. The bread is fresh and I like that it's softer than most of the other shops around. Eye of the round roast beef is cooked in-house daily. I love that they butter and toast the rolls for hot subs or any sub upon request. I usually go for a Chic-A-miel which is fresh cooked chicken cut up and on top of a toasted roll. I do melted cheddar on it which is the bomb! I couldn't decide on 3 or 4 stars because this place is not looking so hot on the inside. When I went in, it was messy in there. It needs some renovations. There were 2 spots on the wall with the counter that were covered with duct tape. The inside has seen better days. The floors also looked like they desperately needed a good mopping. read more

Our family really loves Amiels subs and I remember going to this sub shop located in Henrietta as a little boy in 1969!! My wife and I went to the Amiels sub shop in Henrietta about 8 months ago and had a poor experience. During that visit our sub was all lettuce with almost no tuna. I had called and spoken to the manager at the time (I think his name was Mike) to provide feedback. We were not interested in a discount or free sub, and asked that the next time we visited that our sub sandwich would be made correctly. He joked that we would not have called if there was too much tuna on our sub, which we felt was an unneeded sarcastic comment. Fast forward 8 months and my wife and I stopped into the Henrietta Amiels today on Saturday October 15 around 12:30pm and ordered a jumbo Tuna sub, side of potato salad and chips to split. Once again, we received a sandwich that was 80% lettuce as per the pic I attached. I'm not certain the employees care much about quality, satisfying customers and we sensed there was no management inspecting and supporting the employees. Very disappointing and not what we've experienced from Amiels years ago. Also, the side order of potato salad was undercooked and tasted like it had perfume in it. There are so many options available for sub sandwiches and we hope Amiels Henrietta fixes these issue asap! We only ate about 20% of our jumbo sub, decided not to call the store manager to complain and instead went down the street for lunch. We won't be going to Amiels again unless they fix these food quality & consistency issues! read more

Amiel's Subs & Roast Beef - Not the way they should be made. - Sandwiches Near Me - Rochester, New York

Okay, so the sandwiches are a definite five stars. The roast beef is sooooooo good. You definitely only need a single beef-a-weil because they're so darn huge. The pulled chicken sandwiches are also superb. There is a nice selection of chips and pickles. One of the best things.... You can get 4 loaves of day-old bread for $1. Seriously!!! I'm going to come here just to buy bread. It's house-made and so good. I knocked one star off because of the speed... It took a reeeeaaallllyyyyy long time for them to make subs. However, I used to work at Jimmy Johns, which prides itself on being "freaky fast", so I might be a little biased in that area. read more

Haven't been in over 10 years. It was amazing as I remembered. I loveeeeeee the chicken chili and the sub bread is so amazing. I love the tuna because they use a lot of mayo so it's not dry and they don't ate onion or celery. My husband and daughter first timers. They loved it too. Downside. The restaurant needs some updates and the dining area was a little dirty. A glass block fell off the wall near the deli line and came so close to landing on my daughters foot. It would have broke it for sure and if it would have shattered someone could have got hurt. read more

I find it very hard not to stop at Amiel's for REAL roast beef. I've had their original Beef-A-Miel, which is simply beef on a roll, but of amazing quality. The sub is a little more diverse in that it begs for condiments such as lettuce, tomato, onion. In both cases, the buttered & toasted roll and the salt and pepper seasoning add a lot. Now for some history. I believe I first had a similar sandwich at Mike's subs in Schenectady in the late 60s. It was called a Neba and tasted just as good. I don't know if the two chains were related, but the Neba was reincarnated by the Mr. Subb chain. Amiels has perfected it for the Rochester area. I think there is some family connection! Oh, yes, there are many other subs at Amiel's, but the beef is the best. Counter staff is well-organized in that the person you order from has full responsibility to make your order (not a production line like Subway). You are not held up by someone ahead of you with a big order. Plenty of help for the lunch hour rush. And friendly. read more

Amiels subs, hoagies, heros, whatever you would like to call the sandwich, are sooooo good. Every sandwich artist knows exactly the reason. THE BREAD! Service was nice and pleasant as well.

Have been going since I was a kid -at the original Bulls Head one. Still LOVE the roast beef subs! But last time I went to the Henrietta location on 1/23/23, the 2 things that make them the best - the roll and the beef- had changed. I'm SO SO SO SAD.... The roll was much heavier and denser than the light airly rolls I'm used to. The beef was sliced thick and it was well done - not the med rare, thin sliced as before...end of an era? Anyone know if it's under new ownership? read more

Love Amiel's!! Been going there for years, but wish they had one in Greece. Every time I'm in Greece for something, I stop & get a tuna sub & my husband gets an assorted. They are the best.
