We came in around 12 it was pretty busy but we got to put our orders in pretty fast. We ended up picking a seat and just enjoyed the atmosphere. It did feel like the food took a little bit to come out but when it did it was worth the wait. Everything came out super fresh and tasty! read more

If you're anywhere close to Richmond Airport you MUST grab a sandwich from here! It's been years since I was in the area so I had to stop. So glad they added a pickup window to speed up the to go process. **Pro tip** use the back entrance for pickup orders. Order was ready before it was promised. Employee working the window was very nice and kept the window moving even though it was the beginning of the lunch rush. Chicken salad sandwich had crispy toast and good size pieces of chicken. Turkey trot didn't disappoint. Both sandwiches were packaged nicely. Will continue to make this a stop when I'm in the area. read more

Great independent sandwich and salad joint, with lots of character and a lot of pride in great cooking! Huge portions, and prices lower than the fast food chains. Lots of music memorabilia on the walls makes you feel right at home, and their jukebox pumps out 1950's hits. Accept no imitation! This place is the real thing. read more

We were looking for someplace for lunch while attending the national speech and debate tournament at the nearby high school and found this on yelp. This was a classic and real sandwich shop that the chains can't ever compete with. She had the Reuben and I had the chef salad and they were both great! The man behind the counter even remembered her name when she went up to get a box! Love the small town appeal! read more

East-end/Eastern Henrico staple #classics near the corner of Williamsburg Rd and Laburnum. My mom and I were off Monday so I decided to stop here to pick up lunch. Very nostalgic vibe, staff was friendly and helpful in navigating the large menu. Initially, we wanted a club (they have several to choose from but I asked the cashier if he had to choose between that and a steak and cheese he opted for the sub. The 12 inch large combo was about $20 (cash discount) to include fries and a large limeade. This spot is popular so there was a wait but they moved the orders along in a reasonable amount of time. The sub was a bit thin as the meat is sliced vs chopped, I wasn't a fan of the seasoning they used and it was just warm when I got back to mom's house (which isn't that far) but the bread itself was really good and fresh (2.9/5), their fries served piping hot and seasoned well (5/5) and I'm so glad the cashier hyped up the limeade as it was just as good as Bill's barbecue back in the day (yup I'm telling my age but iykyk), perfectly sweet and tart served with that good hospital ice, lol (10/5). I definitely want that limeade again so I'll be back! read more

One of the best steak and cheese you'll be able to get in the Richmond area... the steak is stacked and the bread is soft and chewey... The crinkled french fries are crispy and delicious... I always get them unsalted because dipping it in ketchup has enough salt... And the star of the show is the freshly made lime-aid... they even offer a sugar free version for those watching your sugar intake. I have never had a better one... If you're in the mood for a a great sub/sandwich shop... make your way! read more

I'm so upset I didn't find this restaurant earlier. I've ordered twice now and it has not disappointed. The lamb gyro was so flavorful and delicious! This time I ordered the downtowner and lord was it delicious. The cheese fries are crinkle cut fries that are seasoned and topped with nacho cheese. They have just the right amount of kick. You have to get one of their limeades too! They are so freaking good! They taste just like Bill's barbecue limeades! The owners are so nice and even though they are packed when you get in there, the service is fast and pleasant. It's an in demand place with a few tables and chairs to eat in, but when I went there was standing room only. That had no effect on how delicious everything was. Definitely check this place out because it is such a must have! read more

On Monday, my BFF Deborah her cousin Susie and I were out and about running errands and I had mentioned many times to them that I had never been to Classics before and they had been in the past. So I stopped and Jordan took our orders Susie had the Ham & Cheese 6" sub & fries, Deborah had the Chicken Cesear on wheat wrap, I had the regular tuna sandwich on white with lettuce and tomato & fries Deborah had water Susie had sweet tea and I had Dr Pepper. Jordan was very helpful and attentive to us. I liked all of autograph celebrity pictures on the walls that had performed here in the area and had eaten there at Classics. We enjoyed our meal very much and definitely visit again soon thank you Jordan and Classics read more

Sandwich was great!! The Limeade was the best in town. Cashier was friendly. It took a bit to get food because they were so busy, but it was relatively quick. read more

I hate the hours but the food is worth it . I want these sandwiches all the time but they're open while I'm at work on the other side of town. So on days off like today I get my fix. read more

Classics embodies the word nostalgia so well. Take a trip back in time for a great sub, fries and sweet limemade. The customer service was wonderful. I noticed on the way out that around back was a take out window making it more convenient for both dining out and dining in guests. The decor will give you a walk down memory lane with vintage toys and collectibles. read more

no stars horrible customer service! I ordered a 12" sub thru grub hub but received only a 6" sub. When I called the restaurant, I was told that I was wrong and they were sure I got the 12". Was not the first time they failed to make good. read more

First time walking in, they told me thank you for trying us out and welcome. The food was fantastic, service was fantastic. They were so polite and friendly. Definitely try this place you won't regret it. Neat pics on the wall of celebrities that have visited the restaurant. Prices are excellent. You definitely get your money's worth. read more

Classics is just that! A good little hole in the wall with some great food and limemades that slap! Order the large limeade. Thank me later because when the small runs out you'll be wanting more. The sandwiches here are so good and they have crinkle fries..classic right! Make your sandwich a combo and get fries and a drink (yup, you can get the limeade). I come here on lunch breaks and it's one of the local non-chain spots in the area by the airport (there are not many it seems), and I love eating from and supporting local businesses. This is kinda like that place where if you come enough the staff probably truly do know your name or your order. It gets BUSY during the lunch rush, so be prepared to wait. They do accept call in orders (when the line isn't ringing busy and you can get through) and do have a separate pickup order outside. Otherwise you come in and it's tight quarters to wait in line to order and then wait for made to order food and drinks. There are about 10 tables inside to dine in maybe. It's a no frills eat in, dump your own tray and trash kinda place and employees really only come out to clean off the tables and keep the rotation open for folks to come in. They are shockingly closed on weekends I think, but this is definitely a spot that is old school, understands the assignment and caters to the East End lunch crowd. Highly recommend for locals and visitors as a must try place for a great sandwich, crispy hot fries, and limeade that is perfection! read more

Always a pleasure! Well-made subs, nice crinkly fries, excellent service. Ordered hot ham & cheese yesterday with fries & thoroughly enjoyed. Dining in is fun as history of catering to the stars is displayed in photos throughout. read more

So many great looking sandwiches to choose from. I went with a 6 inch Downtowner which had roast beef ham and turkey on it. It was just what I needed because I wasn't very hungry. I can't wait to come back and try everything else I was eyeballing. I came in around 2:00pm and there were not many people here. But I drive by all the time and the place is packed around lunch time. There is always a line around back where people are picking up their to go orders. The staff is awesome. Everyone working was very friendly. They worked together to make sure everyone orders were being taken. After you order you take a seat and they call your name when the order is ready. There is a bunch of seating inside and some picnic tables outside. Definitely can't wait to return. read more

Always the best sandwich hands down I'm getting hungry thinking about it. Nice people fair price convenient location.

Went here before a flight and had the fried bologna sandwich with cheese and mustard. I also had some type of fresh or house made soda/limeade which was delightful. They had so many favorites to recommend and I had a hard time choosing but was delighted with my final choice. I also got there about 10 minutes before the rush and this place is POPULAR. I can only imagine how packed it is when the weather is nice. read more

Classics is a hidden RVA secret. The Philly cheese steak (+ chicken) is one of the best around. Get a strawberry limeade (large!) - you'll thank me later. And yes to the crinkle fries. I love the staff at Classics and it's cool to see all of the RVA pictures and history over the years. read more

Food and service is outstanding!I have been going there atleast 25 years. There subs are delicious and everyone there is nice.

Always a must stop for me when I fly into Richmond. Chipotle steak sandwich is bomb. Staff are great.

Wanted a good club sandwich yelp directed me to this wonderful place. Great food great like aid the credit card fee is a big bummer for me.

Love this place! Humble and Friendly staff! Food is delicious! Bread is always fresh and don't skip on getting the Big cup of the limeade. If you're an 80's kid like myself then you will love the ambience inside this joint! Check it out! read more

Ordering and pick up was a breeze. Food is always consistent. Ruben was a good change of pace. Limeade always hits.

Taking a friend to the airport and needed to get lunch . Decided to try this spot out . It's a busy lunch spot for the businesses around the area. The people are friendly and do their best to deliver fast service . Upon entering I was greeted and let the lady know I needed a minute to scan the menu which is above your head . I tried the steak n cheese sub . It was ok . It's a steak - um. Not what I was expecting . Not that it was terrible just not worth $13.00 . ( that was with a drink and fry ) I will try them out again but choose something else . Everything is made to order and the service was good . That's a nice change from fast food . So when in the area give them a try. read more

Classics Sandwiches & Subs - Chipotle steak sandwich with fries and a drink. - Sandwiches Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I recently tried the steak and cheese sub at. While the bread was quite good, I found the steak to be rather basic(like steak-um meat). It tasted like plain steak without much seasoning or flavor. Honestly, it felt like something I could easily make at home. It's not bad, but it's also not something I'd go out of my way for. If you're in the mood for a simple sub, it might be worth a try. read more

Has been consistently a great place for sandwiches for the past 20 years (that I've been a customer). I traditionally stick to the deli sandwiches. The Chicken Philly wasn't great (but I prefer chunked chicken over sliced on my Chicken Philly) and the fries were softer than I like on my most recent visit but it doesn't affect my overall 5 out 5 stars. Great service and great food. read more

Delivery perfect food so darn delicious, ! Driver a sweetie,!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a gentleman. Will Oder again thank you so much

My wife and I stopped in to experience the atmosphere and food, both were great. The food was really on point, the service was excellent as well. Anyone that hasn't experienced this restaurant should give it a try. Lots of music history on the walls as well! Thank you from Robert and Susan King. read more

My husband and I were visiting from out of town. We needed something nearby to grab a quick bite. Classics was our choice. It's a outdated (in a good way) small shop decked out with vintage 80's decor and a vast collection of autographed photos from tons of musicians! Classics offers a variety of subs sandwiches and sides at a reasonable price. You can add chips, fries or some sort of salad to any sub/sandwich. There are offerings for kids as well. If you love limeade, definitely try one of theirs! They have strawberry, cherry and their popular grape flavor as well as plain limeade. Staff is courteous and do a great job. Restaurant is clean for the most part since it is an old building. We ended up eating here three times during our week stay in Richmond. So needless to say we liked it! read more
