If you are looking for the local spot, this is the place. Whenever we are going to the airport, we always stop in here for a sub. Great food and very Michigan based. Would recommend- read more

I've been eating here for 30 years. The same sub called Lady told her she screwed up. My sub told her I was leaving for the airport. I wouldn't be back until Tuesday. Could I get a new cell when I come back? She was rude. Told me no horrible customer service and the food was horrible. It went downhill. Please save your money. Find a new place to eat. read more

Well had to hit the old favorite when visiting Detroit Metro. Order the double meat as last time I was at one it was very light meat - but that was covid time. Really good and would suggest not getting the double meat read more

I've been going to Captain Nemo's for many years. Started going to the one in Belleville where I lived. Thank goodness Captain Nemo' s in Romulus is still very great and delicious . read more

I've been hearing about these subs for years and years. But it was such a far drive for me back in the day. But I finally got a chance to try the steaks up and it was what everyone said it was. It was the best sex up I think I may have had. Deliciously seasoned and the steak just melts in your mouth. The prices were really good as well. I definitely will be going back and I mean going back soon. They do have some seating even though relatively small but they have picnic tables outside where you can dine Outdoors if you like. The customer service was very good as well. read more

Customer service is awful, stay far away. Food was soggy when we got it, not even willing to help out, called and complained and a VERY rude man said sorry can't help you. Lost a long time Customer. Over $50 in food and couldn't even eat it. read more

Oh man.... Just got done smashing on a Turkey with all the fixings minus onion. Hits the spot every time twice on Sundays. Lots of ppl like the Steak, Pizza and pepperoni subs. Truly can't go wrong. Shout out to the Better Made chips always crunching. Call in is the way to go. See you there! People there are always nice. Both locations same can't go wrong! read more

Used to eat here a lot. New owners are horrible. All bread and lettuce. Very little meat. Had one of the workers actually back talk to a family member that was close with the guy who started the place. Don't recommend anymore. read more

Not sure what I ate today - I think they forgot the seasoning and oil/vinegar. My steak and cheese had no flavor. Very bland even the vegis on it tasted of nothing. They were training new people and the pick up process seemed chaotic - my order was misplaced and I waited a long time standing there til finally someone asked my name and seemed confused why I wasn't given my food. Not many options in this area - only reason why this place stays open. Won't be returning. read more

A great little sandwich sub place, I had the steak sub which was great. I highly recommend trying this place

The absolute best subs I've found to date. Delicious, hot tasty. A sandwich shop not to be missed. read more

Steak sub with everything on it also added extra meat and bacon bits is always perfect and never had a bad experience with service!!

I have been eating there for 36 years, I have never had one so bad as I had today at 3:30, 8-27-25. The top of the bun was not eatible, cut the top part of the bun off to eat like an open face sandwich,I was not happy for a 20.00 sub. will not eat ther again, sad sad sad. read more

Ordered a salad with ranch dressing on the side, received a salad with honey mustard all over it, we also ordered a veggie sub was giving a pizza sub for a person that doesn't eat meat when I called they said mistakes happen. read more

Call ahead if you don't want to wait but the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered pizza sub and steak& cheese both were delicious.

Steak and cheese and Reuben are so incredibly solid. This place has become a staple of ours anytime we are on this side of town.

Good food. Locally owned. The owner is inside working the grill while I'm sitting here. I've been a customer for a while but this is a little off of my regular route. But the food everywhere else has gotten soooo bad. This place is still the same as it has always been. I'll go out of my way to eat here from now on. read more

There are NO OTHERS that come anywhere near a Captain Nemos sub. I grew up blocks away and when I moved I still won't get a sub from anywhere else because it's never as good as this. My fave is the steak and cheese. The pizza sub with no trim is amazing too. Taco sub is another great. I have never had one I did not like. Go here- you will not be disappointed read more

Having talked to a friend about the Belleville and Romulus locations. I stated the Belleville location has been a big disappointment. You don't get your money's worth there, lots of bread only. He said it's not the way in Romulus they are still normal there. We had a chance to go for lunch and try it out and to my excitement they were like the old days with plenty of fixings in the bread. Really loved the double I had. It's worth the extra drive for the correct sandwich to my younger memories. read more

Nice sub shop. Very friendly service. Prices are a bit steep imho however, not the end of the world. Just not my #1 go to sub shop. Close 2nd when near the airport. There is another Italian sub shop in the area that is as good if not a tad better. read more

They have been closing early since Covid. Now open later and still the best subs after all these years. read more

First off I grew up on these subs so I decided to stop in the Romulus location on my way home from work in Ann Arbor to grab a tasty steak and cheese like I've always had growing up , the dining room had 1 customer besides me so not busy at all the older lady came from behind the counter to pop machine filled her cup up slightly with pop puts her lips all over cup then proceeds to put it right up against Ice dispenser and fills her cup up right where she just drank from and then refills her pop and takes another big gulp of it then places a lid on it , I'm sorry that just skeeves me out when I see workers doing that. On a lighter note my steak sub was everything I remember growing up the seasoning just right , the dressing on sub perfect I will never knock their food it's delicious but they do need to get a handle on that particular worker that's gross read more

Best switches ever started go there in the late 70th moved to NC in thr early 90 still go every time I,m in town like next two week stop and pick up 3 steaks and egg sub can't wait. read more

Sad but True. If you arent going to read this in its entirety skip to the last paragraphs. I grew up by five points and this was a frequent stop in my childhood. Im 27 now and Im thankful this place is still here because of the connection to my upbringing. The place looks and smells the same. Ive seen several locations come an go including Flat Rock, Southgate and Allen Park so now I drive thirty minutes to come to this location in Romulus for subs when Im in need of a little break and I have been heartbroken the last few times Ive gotten my subs, 16$ for a full size and they use the most pitiful amount of steak. I was actually embarrassed when I took my s/o for the first time after raving about how great they were he held up the sub and said, "thats all you get for 16$?" I was hurt but realized that he was absolutely right and I've been paying for nostalgia. It is very important to support small business through hard times as its evident they're experiencing but when EVERYONE is facing hard times its harder and harder to sympathize with something that feels like a total rip off. I don't wish to harm this business but if You are not gonna order and pay for double steak and double cheese, I honestly wouldn't even bother. This is hard for me, like a tough break up with something Ive enjoyed throughout my whole life but, as a customer, I no longer feel valued by this business and maybe its time I find a new comfort food. If I ever feel the inclination to pay a potential 22$ with extras for a sandwich to satisfy my appetite as a 150 lb young woman, I might come back but sadly the doors will probably be closed by then as they have done at the 3 other locations I mentioned. read more

This is the best Nemo's location hands down. I think they are under new ownership, but just as tasty as ever. Very friendly staff. The Belleville location is closer to me, but Romulus Nemo's is well worth the extra couple of minutes drive. Far better! Steak and cheese is top notch. The Traditional cold cut is a close second. read more

Love the streak+cheese with Xtra seasoning and oil! The best around,! Forget Lefty's subway and Jersey subs! Nothing like it at all! Try the best forget the rest,!!! read more

I've called and called. no one answers . They used to be my favorite places to get a sub . Now I'm disappointed every time I go or try to go here read more

If you are from the area then you know Captain Nemo's in Romulus at 5 points is the absolute best. There's no comparison. When I was a kid I remember going here and meeting a tall man named John (I think) he was the owner he was very kind read more

Order the steak sandwich Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance assured you that the quality will be great.

My buddy told me about this place. He and his mom and dad have been eating from there for years. I don't live in the area but was going with him to his parent's house in Belleville. I have to say the sub was excellent. I will make the drive out to get it again. So worth it. I ate here a couple of weeks ago. Just now getting around to write a review. Again worth the trip. read more

Not gonna lie, the outside and inside of this place made me nervous, but it's also always places like this that surprise the heck out of me. I should have known. I came right at 10am with some coworkers, we were the first customers of the day. When we pulled up everyone was like "uhhh, where'd you bring us?" I tried the steak sandwich with cheddar. Awesome. The bun on the sub was crusty and pillowy, it was perfect. The steak was tender and seasoned nicely. I added the trimmings, which added freshness. The vinegar and oil dressing was a must on this, it cut through the richness. Everyone with me thoroughly enjoyed their subs. The ladies at the counter were super friendly. I wish they delivered. read more
