Holy SUB! Best sandwiches out there. I've been eating these bad boys since I was in my youth (5 years old) and the owner is still THE OWNER and his sandwiches havent gone down hill.. they've gotten better. I can always count on a great sub made by the owner himself. I think I'm going to go grab one right now! read more

The Aristotelian ideal of a New Jersey sub shop. Great bread, everything 100% fresh, beyond generous servings and friendly folks. Reasonable prices and no pretension. The only problem is choosing what to eat. It's all terrific. IMHO one of the aspects of a truly great sub shop is how good the tuna sub is. Making a great tuna sub requires attention to detail and a commitment to freshness. These guys knock it out of the park. The meat subs are great, too! read more

The Belly Buster was pretty good. Meatball was suspect. The Brazilian homie was cool tho! That is all. read more

Big Stashs Sub House - Meatball Parm - Sandwiches Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

See all

I love a good sub. This place as fresh cut meats and cheeses piled on pretty good bread. Made to order of course and great taste and size for the price. It's convenient and easy to get to for me. The only thing I'm used to that I wish I'd see is toasted bread. That's more of a West Coast thing for sure. But I like to have my bread warm. Other than that? So good. read more

Tasty New Jersey dive. The place hasn't been updated in decades, but the sandwiches are still pretty good. Fresh bread and generous portions on the belly buster. The cheesesteak was lackluster, so I'd recommend the cold sandwiches. Took off a star because, while the sandwiches are good, they don't go above and beyond. The staff were friendly and helpful though, so I'd absolutely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

I had lunch here yesterday and it was really, really good! The guys behind the counter remind me of two guys you'd grab a beer with - very nice people. The cheesesteak sub was excellent and the bread was very fresh. Can't ask for more when it comes to getting a good sub! read more

I have been eating this food over 40 years still a small little sub shop they do it RIGHT consistently great subs the bread is always fresh good quality meats, very clean. I don't think I have ever had a bad sub. A short and simple menu. I hope they never change a thing you can't fix it if it's not broken. Please don't ever change. I would give this place 10 stars if that was an option!!! read more

If you are ever in the Kearny area be sure to check this place out. An excellent sub shop that places like Subway and Quiznos cannot hold a candle to. The subs are always fresh and packed with meat. Purists insist you have to have one with a Clinton's Iced Tea. Coming from North Jersey I know this is heresy but they I always thought Clinton's tasted like dishwater but if you have never had one, try one and judge for yourself. BTW - if you are a Sopranos fan, the location of the infamous Satriales is right down the block, it is a parking lot now but you will still recognize a lot of the surrounding buildings. read more

Just had the belly buster which I really enjoyed. read more

Big Stashs Sub House - Belly buster with hot peppers!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

As. Good. As. It. Gets. Period. Stash's has been consistently good, using high quality Thumann's meats, etc., for the FORTY years that I've frequented the sub shop. Fresh, delicious, soft rolls. Heaps of lettuce, onion, tomato. NEVER STINGY on the amount of meats/cheeses. Always delicious. I no longer eat bread, so I'll have them make me a "sub on a plate" and they graciously oblige. Roast beef, provolone, sweet peppers, and the works (but hold the mayo). I highly recommend this combo, with or without bread. Great for TAKE OUT, but there are a couple tables if you want to stay. Edited to add: I just read the 2 reviews who say you get a "lettuce" sandwich and no meat. This is a lie. The subs are LOADED with meat/cheese. And super delicious. If their rolls don't appeal to you, there's no help for you there if you like a crusty roll, but seriously, Stash's has the best subs around. Perhaps they are trying to get you to go to the places they suggest instead? read more

My boyfriend used to live in Kearny and ever since he moved he refuses to have subs anywhere else than this one spot he always mentioned from back home. We happened to be in town yesterday and he decided to take me to Big Stash's Sub House so I can have a taste for myself. Two eat in tables, small counter, almost no room to move around. To be honest I wasn't expecting much out of this tiny place. Looks sure did fool me! After taking the first bite out of my pastrami, turkey, and swiss sandwich with the works, I was in heaven. The combination of ingredients were amazing. High quality meats, spectacular customer service, and best of all they sell good old clinton iced tea. read more

This was my second time going here and both times they have made amazing subs! The cold cuts are fresh and the buns are delicious. Highly recommend it :) read more

If you're from Kearny then you grew up on Stash's. It's been a staple in the town for a long time. This is good ol classic subs! Places like this are a dying breed. Customer service is good and the prices are def reasonable. I always try and support the "mom and pop" store. read more

I really wanted to love it. Hero King was closed so I found Big Stash with their great reviews and said let's give it a try. Bread was soft and although I prefer a crusty roll it's not a deal breaker. I did feel like I was eating a lettuce sandwich, they don't give you much meat at all. Honestly I would've been more satisfied with a Blimpie sandwich. Oh well you don't know until you try and I tried it. If you haven't checked out Hero King in Newark or Nutley. Give it a try. read more

OMGOSH! I'm the first to reviewwwwwww..... This little sub place is awesome. I've had friends visit from out of state and have taken them here for a quick lunch, and they loved it! Half a Turkey, provolone w/ everything on it, please! With a clinton ice tea and a bag of lays. YUMMO! read more

Jersey sub perfection. Ham, provolone, salt pepper oregano, lettuce, onion, oil & vinegar!! This place is and has been the best.

Loved it. This place is small, but don't under estimate their food. Huge subs with a nice price. Guys working behind the counter definitely love what they do. Would go back. read more

I think hands down the best sub place in the state. The portions are so big and flavorful you just can't go wrong . It's the comfort food of growing up within the kearny area . Def a legend place you need to try. I luv it here and price is on point . read more

The cheesesteak wasn't my favorite but the tuna with Swiss is good. I want to go back and try their signature bellybuster.

These were pretty decent subs! Appreciate the price for the amount of food you get, my girlfriend and I split a whole No. 3 and had a good amount left over. I wasn't crazy about the roll, which really makes the whole thing for me. Not enough crunch for my liking. The quality of the meat and cheese was pretty nice though. Just a good, solid, inexpensive lunch option. read more

I first visited and ordered from Big Stash's when I first moved to Kearny back in 1995. I've since moved away but only two things keep me coming back to my old town of residence and that's my barber and Big Stash's! Why I haven't written a review sooner can only be laziness, as this is the best sub sandwich I have ever had in my life! Now that may mean many things to many people but bear in mind that my nickname is "Tony Cold Cuts!!" I love sub sandwiches. The are one of my favorite foods. So when I think of the ultimate sub sandwich, I think of heading down to Big Stash's Sub House in Kearny! My favorite is the Ham & Yellow American Cheese with extra mayo! Delicious! read more

I grew up in Kearny down the street from Stash's and have always remembered having their subs. Now whenever I go back to visit family, grabbing a sub is always one of my first stops (my fam & friends tease me about needing to get a sub, they just don't understand what it's like moving around and not finding a great sub like Stash's. I have yet to find a sub shop that compares. :-) ). The cold cuts are sliced fresh for every sub, every time. They're not pre-sliced kept in containers like other places. The bread, veggies... they're always fresh too. I'm talking so much about it, I just made myself want one. Time to plan a trip home. If you're in town, stop in and try one (if you've never had one), you won't be disappointed. read more

My wife surprised me with 2 6-foot subs from Big Stash's for my birthday and I couldn't be any happier! We've never had subs from here before but I'm sure glad she checked Yelp before picking a place to order from. We got one belly buster and one roast beef and everyone greatly enjoyed both, with the belly buster being the fan favorite. The subs were enormous and the meat and toppings were plentiful. Also, the guy behind the counter was extremely nice and courteous; thank you!! read more

A M A Z I N G! Hands down best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Cooks the meat so that its so tender it melts in your mouth like butter. Tops it off with a thick slice of cheese and sizzling grilled onions, then to finish it with a wonderful spicy dark brown mustard. Soft italian bread holds this bad boy together and of course I get a little more of that spicy mustard on the side to dunk it in. Big Stash keep doing your thing! read more

Being a Jersey Girl I grew up on a good sub sandwich from local places, in my adult life I favor Jersey Mikes, but this place is killerrrrr the bread is fresh and perfect cut..maybe it's the bread, maybe it's the water whatever it is you will come back for more... read more

Every summer, my husband and I visit NJ from Hawaii. In Hawaii, you can't get a good sandwich anywhere. So we wait all year to get a good sub. Twice, we've gone to Big Stash's and twice, we've been super happy. This time, we got two of them to take on the airplane with us on our way home. It was so satisfying. The bread was perfect and so were the fillings. I'm just sad we have to wait another year to get another one. Thanks, Big Stash's! read more

Just had the best tuna sandwich ever. Amazing that such a small place makes such crazy good sandwiches. True Jersey.

Very clean facility and the gentleman who makes the sandwhichs is very outgoing and professional, and the owner who also puts in the hard work is very nice and makes u feel like family whenever I go in for a delicious sub, unfortunately there are not enough seats to accually sit down and enjoy this tasty sub but hey eating one of stashs subs on the run is ok with me.... read more

Best sub shop ever!!!! It's a local dive, tiny as hell. But well worth it!!

great neighhborbood sub shop! visiting from Texas and wanted some local flavor. This place did the trick! food was great!

Amazing food cheap. Belly buster sub was delicious. I'm a big guy, and half was enough. Staff was great, smiling and happy.

Best subs in town, obviously higher prices than the subway, wawa, or quick check has to offer. Though, these subs are more than a bang for your buck; a simple half sub costs around the same price as these competitors, will fill you up the same (if not more) as opposed to their "full subs", and it has quality you can taste. It sucks they don't deliver, but these sandwiches are the reason we are willing to drive here than pay extra for delivery or waste our money on a crappy footlong. The up-and-coming Jersey Mike's in Kearny is gonna have some competition. read more

I have been going to big stash's for at least 30 years.. Everything is delicious every sandwich everything everything everything. Here is the same owner has been there for 30 years. Every time I go there and he acknowledges me and we're like old friends. I love the roast beef with salt and oil and pepper nothings better read more

Best sub shop in the area including North Arlington and Lyndhurst; these other shops don't even hold a candle to the quality you get from Big Stash's. Cold cuts are always fresh; bread is on point but on the softer side, so not much crunch to it. The Bellybuster is where it's at, definitely a must try. The place is small and unassuming, little to no wait and good overall service. read more

Great and Classic Sub location. When you 1st walk into Stash's it is a feeling of walking into a little bit of the past and NJ Folklore especially once you look at the wall and see amount of High-end credentials this Sub House has rightfully so it seems. Getting a classic sub on a soft roll with a Clinton Iced Tea is a staple in my childhood and manyin NJ no matter the generation. Good Prices have gone up very little over the years but still great value for the final product Overall: With the personal feel and almost 0 wait time this is truly a place to stop by and pick something up. read more

Stash's played a big role in my life. Went to junior high a few blocks away, and maybe it was walking passed The Soprano's film shoots on the way, but Stash's seemed like a magical place where you wanted to belong. My best friend Jake and I would regularly go with the hope that Stash would remember our orders. I was a ham, american cheese, lettuce, and mayo guy. You'd grab a Clinton Ice Tea and sit at the table under a decades old poster of Tony Meola, signed I think. If Kearny has a culture, Stash's is where you can find it. read more

Started going as a kid living in Kearny. Moved to Florida many many years ago but always drive through Kearny to get the best Italian sub I have ever had! Usually have to get several wrapped good to bring on flight back to Florida as the whole family loves them. I now have a 22 year old and 16 year old that can't wait to get a sub from Big Stash. read more

Stash's is hands down the best Sub House in the North Jersey area. It's quite the favorite for a lot of people around here. The sub's are a bit expensive if you're use to eating that Subway & Quizno garbage. The subs are very fresh & really packed with meat & veggies. They don't have much of a variety but every sub on their menu is amazing. Oh, & don't forget to wash down the sub with a Clinton Iced Tea...make it two I always got to have two! :) read more

Most overrated Subs in the northern NJ. I do not understand how people like this place, but a lot of Kearny people are stuck in the 80s. If there was a deli next door I would have had to walk out to get some cold cuts to add to my lettuce sandwich. It's worth the extra 10 minute ride to Lyndhurst to the other famous sub shop in the area, the sandwiches there are 10x better. There are even 3-4 better places if you cannot leave Kearny. I thought i was just unlucky once so i went back again a few weeks later and my 2nd sandwich was worse than the first. read more

Been coming here for many years and the sandwiches were always a perfect balance, lately ( More than once )not enough meat. I hope they raise the price and go back to that perfect balance! read more
