This place is a Coos Bay staple. Best sandwiches around. If it's busy, it's worth the wait. Nothing else compares within 50 miles.

Placed a catering order for a work event. The order was placed one week before the event but City Subs canceled the catering 2 hours before the lunch due to under staffing. I haven't tried their food yet but wouldn't recommend using them for large orders / catering. read more

This is a case where you should believe the Yelp hype. The Italian sub was authentic, the freshly baked bread was amazing, the employees were awesome and the entire experience couldn't have been better. Can't wait to return. read more

Good subs . Good location . Good price . Nice location . Good parking . Close to library in the pre COVID times

Excellent sandwich on homemade bread. We had the Italian with everything and it was yummy. Would be the place for lunch all the time if I lived here! read more

This is one of my favorite sub shops on the southern Oregon coast. They are not a chain and they are super friendly. The process is a little slow but worth the wait. You will not be disappointed. I typically get my food to go and drive south for about 3 miles out of town picnic at a local day park. Good times. read more

As an out-of-towner I've got to say that I was really impressed by this place. I stopped in here thinking it was just a "Subway" style sandwich joint....but boy was I wrong. I placed my order with a nice lady who had to be the owner because she was really nice. I got a veggie wrap and a grilled chicken sub (Mrs El S and I split them) and when I was finished ordering the lady thanked me....but not in a throw-away, meaningless way - she really meant it, I think. The sandwich took a while to make and while I was waiting I noticed a lot of locals and big groups of people eating together at tables...always a good sign. The staff seemed to know everyone...some teenage girl came in with flowers on what appeared to be a first date....the whole thing was very American and refreshing. Who says there's no culture in America....this was like a living Norman Rockwell painting. When I went up to use the restroom I peeked into the kitchen and I saw an old white haired man making fresh sub rolls....it smelled awesome! It reminded me of the quality and uniqueness I've only seen in Italian pizza places on the east coast. This old guy was like the Dominic DiFara of white bread (of Difara's pizza in Brooklyn fame)!It was very inspiring to see an All-American place like this in a small town with friendly people. I sat back down at my table and actually got a little nervous....that's how much I really wanted to like this place. What if its not good? That will throw off everything in the universe...places like this NEED to be good if they are going to go through all that effort. What a huge moment in my sad meaningless, life of eating submarine sandwiches. I can't believe I actually was nervous but I was. For some bizarre reason I had a lot riding on this place emotionally. We got our sandwiches and they were terrific. The bread was warm and fresh....I never had that on a basic submarine sandwich before. It must be like eating a freshly killed chicken or eating grapes right off of the vine. A freshly made sub roll (not just toasted) is amazing. The most incredible part was the detail paid to the inside of the sandwich. All the ingredients from the chicken to the veggies were sized similarly and placed alongside each other strategically. Holy crap! I was so happy I ate here. They even have pepperoncini's they give you for free up at the counter....I love that. I love pepperoncini's - they are better than pickles and way underrated. I like pickles but I tend to get along better with people who prefer pepperoncinis. I don't know if these people are Italian or just good at making sandwiches but City Sub would be a major success if it were on the east coast or a bigger city. The best sandwiches i've had in my life were all made by Italians but in all honesty, these people at City Subs in Coos Bay, Oregon may have topped it. I bet they are Italian. At least half. Anyone know? If you've ever worked hard for even just one day in your life you'll appreciate the effort that goes into your sandwich at City Subs. These people have pride, they have a skill and the old man is a craftsman. I know its only a submarine sandwich but if this place ever closes its doors we all lose. read more

Not gonna lie. I am totally biased against small towns, and small town eating establishments. Well, I guess not necessarily biased, but skeptical. Nothing against small town folks, but when you have a much smaller sample to compare your experiences against, your point of view sometimes gets skewed. So when I saw that a sandwich shop in tiny Coos Bay was rocking a 4.5-star rating, I was more than a little skeptical. We were in town for the Pre Memorial 10K, and having just finished my run, I was more than ready to chow down. We contemplated heading up to North Bend as it seemed there were more choices there, but settled on City Subs as we were parked just a block and a half away. Holy smokes am I ever glad we "settled" on this place. Place was packed, but that's not always an indication of good food. I went with a grilled chicken, and the wife went with the turkey club. Stuffed to the gills with fresh meats & veggies, and yes, as noted by many others, that wonderful hoagie roll. I had mine toasted -- definitely suggest you do too. And cheap! $13 fed both of us. Big picture windows line the building, and I'm sure it makes for nice people watching. The Bay Area Fun Festival Parade was happening as we ate, so it was nice having seats and a view for that. Yes, it's a small town establishment, but don't let that scare you away. It's well worth the visit. read more

Best sub style sandwiches around!! Love the freshness, love those diced pickles, ...Little messy when eating..but fabulous food... Hours of operation a little sketchy since pandemic began, so check ahead for that..Otherwise, clean, great food, excellent friendly service.... read more

City Subs in a few words.... It was a sunny day in Coos Bay...Four hungry golfers passing through on our way back to the airport. Pressed for time and starving, we began with a debate of where to go. Yelp provided a few choices, and we balanced time, cravings and ratings, eventually settling on City Subs! First, it was easy to find using Yelp maps. We were lucky enough to find a parallel parking spot directly across the street! Our driver adeptly maneuvered a three point U-Turn and placed us within feet of the front door. As we were walking in we were greeted with a line of only 4 people. As we joined the medley of local patrons, we promptly grabbed a handful of paper menus and settled into the difficult decision of what to eat. Behind the counter were two order takers, a young woman and a older man, dressed in a lovely green t-shirt and apron combo. They were pleasant and offered guidance through the ordering process to help you make an appropriate choice. They took nicely to substitutions. Our driver wished to order off menu, creating a 'modified Italian' sandwich. While management approval was required, an affirmative decision was quickly made, to our delight. The rest of us ordered from the menu, including the daily special. Post order, we settled into a 4 top to discuss whether or not (in the words of The Clash), should we stay or should we go? Trying to make good time to the airport, we originally ordered to go. As other reviewers point out we didn't have much time to discuss as the first completed order was quickly upon us. As the product disbursement specialist called out 2 of our names, we smiled and summoned her over and explained to her our change of plans, and desire to inhabit our table for a short time longer. As this was a midweek late lunch, the mood of the restaurant became sharply alert when a uniformed officer of the law sauntered in. And as he did, we realized even more so, this venue was a common meeting place of the people. A place where youth with backwards trucker caps get along harmoniously with their sworn adversary, the officer of the law. We noticed a respectful acknowledgement between the two opposite ends of the Coos Bay spectrum. While admiring the decor, one could not help but notice the cared-for antique green piano nestled in the corner. While seemingly out of place, you could almost hear the heartfelt tones from its past serenading the patrons slowly but happily consuming their noontime caloric intake. We noted several special touches throughout City Subs, from the box of coloring books and crayons on the piano for the kiddos, to the 'book exchange box' near the exit....take one out and put one in. And we could fill up at least one handful of people who were taking advantage of this little gem of a perk. I would be remiss if I were to leave out such an important aspect of this review if I overlooked the accompanying side options. They offered 6 choices of fountain soda, a refrigerator of various bottled soda and local non-alcoholic beverages and at least 13 flavors of chips. Any thing from Dill Pickle to Sweet Maui Onion to plain old Lays. How can one choose with such a cornucopia of savory, electic morsels. Shame on me if I forget the sweet options....they almost dare you to not have dessert. You'll see what I mean when you go. Amidst our admiration of the interior we took to the food like moleskin to a blistered toe. The sandwiches were wrapped snugly in crisp white butcher paper like swaddled newborn babies. We tore into them with the voracity of a 13 year old girl at a One Direction concert. Oh ya, as other reviewers note, this place serves food and its exceptional. We made the right choice. read more

Fresh pillowy soft baked bread everyday...! When I think of this bread, my mouth waters and I my mind takes me to a world of bread clouds, bread showers , and my very own bread bed. :D bread happiness! Not kidding, their bread is heavenly. Plus all the other fresh ingredients makes this a no brainer stopping in instead of that other sub shop down the road...for the same price. My fav sandwich is topped with avocado, sprouts, and pickles. I just don't get how this can be sooooo good?!?! Especially when I dip it their lovely creamy clam chowder. Yes!! A warm clam chowder dip is actually a really good idea (but not soup duh). Yes...let's just add that to the notepad in my iPhone for my excellent make-me-rich ideas that will be patented by me someday... :/ The place itself is very cute and clean. Corner shop... But parking can be a bit of a pain when it's lunch or dinner time. They get very busy here. Very very busy, which is great....but not when they only have a couple people working. The line is out the door, and it's pretty slow to get your order in and go. That's my reasons for 4 not 5 stars. Food is downright legit. Two bread thumbs up. Bread jet your way over!! read more

Excellent deli sub. Real flavor, texture, ingredients. Service was friendly--top notch nice folks. read more

City Subs - Menu and half a sub - Delis Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

I ordered catering from City Subs for a lunch that started at 11:30. When the food had not arrived by 11:35, I called to check on the status of my order, and the girl on the phone told me, "It's only 11:35, I don't know why you're upset, it's only 5 minutes late. I'm sure they had a lot of orders to deliver." While I'm sure that is the case, I can't use you for catering if you think that deadlines are soft or that it's wrong to want your order on time. I cater multiple lunches each week, and I can't have my customers sitting around waiting for their food to arrive. I should not have to invent artificially early times for my food to arrive just so, when late, it will arrive on time. read more

I nearly skipped this place because I suspected the positive reviews were fake. Stopping out front at 2pm on a rainy monday I decided to go in since it was clean and crowded. Great value the kids shared a bacon avocado sandwich and a pair of enormous ice creams for $10. Wife happy with the soup. Three stars for the food - reasonable stuff. Good value. read more

The gluten free wrap was amazing. Big portions of very fresh sandwiches, wraps and soups.

These sandwiches are so good, the bread is always fresh and so are the ingredients, one of the best places in coos bay

What a great local place! I came into a full room of happy people eating their lunch and was amazed how quick the service was for being noon on a workday. I had a sandwich called the "Armadillo" and loved the homemade bread and tasty BBQ sauce with cheese and Jalapenos. The Sandwich was amazing, the soup was typical but still good. I could tell that they took pride in serving a healthy alternative to the other fast food places. I will be going back! Just an FYI, if you're in a hurry I suggest calling the order in ahead of time. read more

Wonderful customer service the ladies working there will make your day! The sandwiches are amazing as well as the prices. Definitely recommend stopping in if you're driving by. read more

Consistently great food! Fresh ingredients prepared every day makes all the difference in the world! If you're wanting a sandwich, this is THE PLACE in Coos County to get one you'll not soon forget. Hat's off to going the extra mile to keep it fresh, tasty and inviting to come back time and again. read more

Was looking for an inexpensive sandwich on our way through Coos Bay and found this yummy place. All their sandwich rolls are made from scratch fresh each day. We had the small Pastrami Melt and the Italian combo and both were filling and made with crusty fresh rolls. The Vegetable Beef soup was rich and satisfying. I would definetely come back again and recommend it to others! Friendly staff and clean. read more

Yummy subs. Not much around the area to get a sub. I was happy to find this little shop. The subs were fresh and yummy

Yum! Fresh sandwiches and other deli food here. I love their potato salad and they are very generous with their sandwich portions (unlike other chain stores). BECAUSE they are so good, call ahead if you are on a lunch break: very, very busy. The young lady at the front counter was super friendly and positive, motivating the rest of the staff during a crazy rush. Great job, ladies! read more

Moved to the area recently and happy to have found City Subs - especially now as a place we'll put on our list of "healthy-options" in town. They serve up fresh, tasty and generous portions. Brought my brother and nephew in while they were visiting and recommended The Dillie which offers quite a few veggies; my 15 year old Nephew inhaled his sub in about 2 minutes, which is not unusual...but he went back for a 2nd! If that doesn't give you an idea of the amazing quality and flavors this small shop offers, read on. I hate salads...but recently cut back on the breads and after a few weeks without The Dillie, I broke and went in to fill my craving. With fingers crossed, called first to ask if they could serve The Dillie salad-style instead and not only did the wonderful meal-makers accommodate us; they killed it!! They put The Dillie in a bowl, with the delicious sauce on the side - BEST SALAD EVER. Finally found a salad I look forward to eating. So glad we don't have to skip our favorite "sub shop" in town! read more

I love the Italian subs. Always has been my favorite. The fresh bread is amazing and all the toppings. Wish you guys had enough staff to take call in orders but I understand in the predicament we're currently in as a community. read more

We've gone to City Subs since it's inception. We enjoy it. I mean it's soups and sammies..not exactly rocket science here. But for what you are getting..fairly simple food..it's great. Only complaint is they can get super slow. But it's all made to order and I know that takes longer. Really never had a bad experience here. There is a sandwich to suit every taste. I always thought it to be a bit odd though that they don't put lettuce on them..but I guess that's just how they roll, and I've never really missed it. read more

Love this place.... Best freshly baked sub rolls I have ever had (we buy them by the dozen and store them in the freezer). Favorites are the California club and the Scarlett turkey! They only have one phone line so give yourself a few extra minutes to get through if your ordering ahead. read more

This is a popular lunchtime spot. They bake there own rolls and there sandwiches are great. We like the Californian. Midway Rv park highly recommended this place! read more

Wow talk about a gem in a small unsuspecting coastal town. This is one of the best sub sandwiches I have eaten. It's not that there's a plush ambiance or secret ingredient that makes this place special. It's the love that goes into the restaurant, the ingredients and good old fashioned genuine customer service. Fresh baked bread, and quality meats and cheese make this place shine. Amazing California Club with just the right amount of turkey, fresh avocado and crispy bacon. Keep up the good work and don't sell out or change a thing. read more

Ordered assorted sandwiches for a group. They all looked good. They even had a gluten free wrap for me! Desserts in case looked nice also. read more

city subs has insanely good bread. it makes theyre sandwiches so good. it almost doesnt matter what you put on bread like that, you could put a moistened dirty sock in there and it would be delicious. they sell dinner rolls as well, if you wanna blow dinner guests away pick up a bag of those and microwave them for like 30 seconds before serving people will be asking where u got them. its happened to me and the face they made when they asked was shock. I said city subs and they were like ok yea that makes sense. read more

Yikes! That was tasty. I just had an Italian sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and Italian dressing. This was the best sub I've had in a very long time. The fresh homemade bread is delicious, and all of the meats and cheese tasted great. Service was also great - we ordered 7 separate sandwiches and all of them were made as we requested and marked so we could each tell which one was ours. read more

Best sandwich in town. I had the Meatball sub, it was fantastic. My brother had the special which was the "little dipper". Service was a bit slow but the amazing food made up for it. The best part was the bread, which complemented the sub perfectly. Would definitely go there again. read more

City Subs - Attitude Wrap - Delis Near Me - Coos Bay, Oregon

Truly as good as it gets! The fresh baked good is flavorful and light, you don't get more bread than ingredients. They have a nice variety of ingredients. When there, you can see a large wooden, carved chicken (made by one of their customers). The chicken's name is Annie, and several of their sandwiches (all chicken, of course) are named Annie (ie. Annie wrap...) You'll find a nice variety of 'real ingredient' Italian Sodas and Ginger Ale, fresh backed bars and cookies and a case with about15 or so flavors of hand dipped ice cream. It's worth the stop. read more

Few weeks ago called and pre ordered so would be ready when arrived as time was short. When arrived has no record of order and a lot of attitude and since I went forwards with ordered waited another 15 minutes. Poor service and sandwich was not the best that day. read more

The food was great! I love their rolls. My only issue is that I wish that they would chop up the food more for salads. The meat in the salad was all stuck together, the avocado and egg were one solid piece. It would have been nice not to have to cut everything up before eating it. The food was delicious though . read more
