Decided to stop by today to try out one of their vegan sandwiches. When I walked in the place was empty. Since it is a holiday weekend I was not expecting the place to be busy at all. Which turned out to be a good thing, in my favor since I was really hungry and I didn't have to wait no more than 1 minute to place my order. There were two staff members behind the counter and a gentlemen, which I later found out was the owner, sitting at a table I'm assuming crunching numbers. The young man that took my order was professional and polite. He seems to be new employee since he was asking "Sonny" a few questions on how to, when assisting another customer that walked in as I was eating. I came for their vegan Goku sandwich. I ordered their regular size sandwich on a wheat bread, which turned out to be really good. They're barbecue sauce gave it a nice flavor. They also use their special sauce which I have yet to find out what it is. I also added red onion & jalapenos to my Sammie! The four stars are mainly for the price of the sandwiches. The large is $20 for a vegan Goku sandwich & that maybe thier cheapest vegan sandwich. Which granted it's pretty big but nevertheless a bit pricey in my opinion. Also, all the tables seemed greasey and not cleaned which threw me off a little since like I said it was not busy at all. Overall, I liked their sandwich, the decor & also the customer service is friendly. Would I visit again. Sure, I'd bring a friend or two also. Especially a marvel fan! read more

Visited them today first time to this location. The guy who took our order was pleasant, helpful, and very patient while we decided what we wanted to eat. The location was clean and the sandwiches and fries came out fast. The only thing I had to much of the boom boom sauce on my sandwich. I ordered the Boom Reaper. It was really good still and so were the Fat Albert Loaded fries. I will be back again! read more

I decided to come here because I want to explore all the places near my job. I ended up ordered the Patrick Star. I ordered it and through 18 was pretty steep for a large sandwich. I was hella wrong, it was hefty like a new born baby. It reminded me of little luccas. For the price, it's better than the other popular place. The place is decorated with comic book characters and theres hella seating. Everything was fairly clean and it felt nice to be in there. The service was great, they have a good system and the people are hella nice. The food was hella smacking not going to lie. I picked the wrong one because it was too messy lol. BUT it was still amazing. I suggest coming here and ordering what you want. Such a good spot. Hidden gem forrreal. read more

This can easily go toe to toe with ANY sandwich place in the Bay. What makes this place so great? Quality, portions, and reasonable price. Friend picked this up for a team meeting and what a pleasant surprise! Look how huge these sandwiches are, and that is just half of the sandwich, the part I'm holding. One half is a meal by itself. It's called "the shrek" and has pesto, lettuce & tomato, arugula, a whole bunch of (vegan) turkey stuffed in there, I'm sure if green eggs and ham were a thing Crave would find a way to stuff that in there too haha. The non-vegan comes with classic turkey and cheese aka The Shaggy. If I were in the area I would definitely order again. They're super generous in their portions & looking at their menu am curious to try their other items too. Please consider opening a location in the peninsula! read more

Elephant in the room. Yes, Crave Subs is similar to Ike's. Let's put it out there. Even if the owner says they did not copy them, I mean, it just feels that way. Great sandwiches with fun names, Zapps chips, free sucker with your meal, it's the vibe right? BUT one thing that I will say was noticeably different than my experience of Ike's was that their staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered on the kiosk to be able to take my time, go through their menu. And the staff there offered to answer any questions, told me to take my time, and was friendly all while training another employee. I ordered several sandwiches for me and my friends and overall, we enjoyed our sandwiches! I had the Patrick Star and thought it was flavorful and enjoyed their chicken over Ike's, less dry. I wasn't sure what to expect from Korean Fried Chicken, but it was like a slightly spicy savory Asian type of sauce. Prices are great considering you can get a regular sub for under $15 (some closer to $10) and it is still large and filling. I'm pretty sure everyone in my circle of friends (minus 1-2 really hungry guys) would order a regular and be full with that. I've shared the menu so you won't think all the sandwiches are $22 as one "helpful" review complained about. Location is far from where you would typically go to grab a lunch unless you work out in the area. If I worked in the area, I would go more often. Their Crave Sauce is hard to describe, wish I knew what was in it. I didn't have a problem with tipping on the kiosk. I don't know if I missed it on how to omit an item (like lettuce or tomato) so I put it in the notes and it was still in my sub. No biggie I pulled them out. Will just double check the ordering system next time. Anyway, this is long. But I'll be back. I don't like spending $40 on two sandwiches so this is a nice change! Halal meat is not important to me but I know it is to many so that's great. read more

This place is absolute fire. The ambiance is great with the anime and cartoon references throughout the shop. I like how the ordering screen also has a comic touch. We had the Tom and Jerry and Wolverine Fries. We got the large sandwich which was filled to the brim. It tasted amazing and the portions are great. I like how they don't skimp on the meat or veggies compared to Ike's. The staff were super friendly and gave us some hot sauce for free. Would love to go back and it's amazing it's 100% Halal. read more

Amazing food. Chill vibes with the walls bombed with comics and anime. Service is fast too, even when we ordered the Large sandwiches. Parking a bit tight due to the other neighboring restaurants. Would recommend coming before or after lunch hour. read more

Food was excellent, service was quick. Lives up to the hype. We ordered Ed and Eddie, Deadpool (buffalo sauce on the side) and chicken tenders and fries. All 10/10. read more

I found this place while doom scrolling on Yelp. Since I was going to be in the area later in the week, I thought about stopping by for lunch. I'm really glad I did because this place serves really good sandwiches. I ordered the Barney sandwich on a wheat roll. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato, their house sauce, and a thin layer of cranberry sauce. It's $11.99 for half a sandwich and $20 for a full sandwich. This place is a little pricey from what I'm used to but it was a very good sandwich. They did pack the sandwich pretty well, and each layer of ingredients was the perfect portion. I did not run out of bread before the ingredients. I really like this place a lot but the prices prevent me from returning OFTEN. read more

Saw this spot on instagram and tiktok and decided to give them a shot. We ended up getting the Deadpool sandwich which has buffalo chicken inside and a side of curly fries. The sandwich was decent nothing special and same for the curly fries (might have been better with some ranch). This is a casual spot with not much seating but that didn't matter as we were the only ones seated. The staff was friendly and the order was made pretty fast. Overall I had higher hopes for this spot but the sandwich just did not taste as good as I was hoping it would. I want to commend the spot for being a halal shop and the all the names on the menu are definitely fun! read more

I came across this place while I was door dashing. The menu was unique and the sandwiches sounded good. I got the Tom & Jerry on a Dutch Crunch roll. It came exactly how I ordered it and tasted amazing. There is plenty of sauce on it which I love. The bread was nice and soft too! I wish there was one closer to my house. I'd probably eat here more often. Definitely gonna order again. read more

Solid and consistently good! Always get the same couple sandwiches and they are always good and fresh! Wasn't a fan of the salads so I'll stick to the sandwiches. ESP the Patrick star! read more

If you're in the Industrial/ Hesperian area and trying to find a good meaty sub on soft bread, this is the one! Not so much of a chain restaurant or mom and pop shop. It's just right, just in between. They got chips on hand or if you want, curly fries plain or with the works. Not sure what dining service is like, but they create your sandwiches in a timely manner if you opt for pick up! read more

This food is fantastic! Great service, and the whole place just feels alive. Lots of room to eat, big menu if you like alot of everything The food just melts in your mouth after you take one bite, you can really tell when a place puts effort in the food they're making I would highly recommend coming to a place if you are a comic nerd and looking for something new, I know I'm coming back read more

Super fire never been in person always get it via uber eats slightly pricey but taste good and takes a crap on Ike's highly recommended always taste amazing they use fresh ingredients and tasty sauces. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICE SEEMS VERY GOOD. read more

Have eaten here several times -- sometimes more than once in a week thanks to the SnackSensei! The Patrick Starr is. my go to withFried Chicken, Korean BBQ Sauce, Ranch, Pepper Jack Cheese, Crave Sauce, Lettuce, & Tomato. The portions are generous! I always order a regular and half of that is pretty filling. I always love when a business allows you to preorder because who has time to wait for food?? :) I did however order and pay ahead once and still ended up waiting at the restaurant about 20 mins after my order was supposed to be ready. The manager spoke to the crew and acknowledged my long wait and apologized. The gesture was small but went a long way. You have to appreciate when customer service is important to a business. Many, many options and you can customize/add on ingredients to your sandwhich. They have various chips and you can pull what you want from the rack. read more

Got the punisher was absolutely fantastic aswell with the curly fries I will say tho I wasn't dining in just picking up but one of the counters you can eat on near the entrance was a little dirty it wasn't a busy day so definitely could've been cleaned up a bit but other than that service and food was great i believe my order for a full sub and fries was about $30? not too bad considering the size of the sandwich but just keep in mind for reference on how much one person spends read more

Awesome service, Friendly staff / crew and the sandwiches are hella good. This time I had the pastrami with extra pastrami (didn't need to) and it was even more delicious! Love this spot! read more

I'll be honest--I'm usually not a big fan of sandwiches, but Crave Subs completely changed that. This is the only place I actually look forward to getting a sandwich from. The ingredients are always fresh, the flavors are on point, and they offer a wide variety of options to choose from--there's truly something for everyone. What makes it even better is their great customer service. The staff is friendly, quick, and always makes sure you're taken care of. They really live up to the name--once you try it, you'll be craving it again. Highly recommend, even if you're not normally a sandwich person like me! read more

We were craving sandwiches one day and happen to find this place by chance. It's in a small plaza with other small, local eateries nearby. It also looks like a great spot for those that are working in nearby companies over at Industrial as well. There's a small parking lot that's right at the front of the restaurant, but it looks like it can be filled up pretty easily since there are other stores as well. When entering, I noticed that the place was pretty clean. There's also a variety of anime, marvel, and Star Wars pictures hung up. You can also order through the kiosk at the front or at the register. My boyfriend ordered a large sandwich, I opted for the smaller size, and we both shared a side of fries. I can't eat that much, and I'm really glad that they have a smaller size available since not many places have that option. Our food was great, and it really hit that sandwich craving that my boyfriend and I had. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Managed to come here for their Grand Opening and the subs were amazing! Was able to sample different types of sandwiches and they were super fresh, tasty, dripping with delicious sauces. Dutch crunch roll was the perfect complement to the sandwich. We've already been talking about our next trip out to get more sandwiches. It's a bit in an isolated area of hayward and parking is limited. read more

Couldn't wait to get our Crave Subs fix from a closer location at the new Hayward spot. We are big fans of the Berkeley location. All the meat is halal! We got the Ed Edd N Eddy (large) and Chicken Little (large) on Dutch crunch, chicken strips and a large curly fries. Everything was so good and hit the spot. Going to definitely be trying out the other sandwiches and loaded fries in the future. read more

Amazing food and service. Quick food preparation, very kind staff. Highly recommend this place!

Just stopped by after fishing! Sandwiches are good and they give you alot of meat! Honestly a great place overall! Might be the best sandwich place in Hayward. read more

Probably the best sandwich place in the Bay Area. The sandwiches are delicious and always perfectly crafted. And they have their sandwich process down here too. Not ONCE have they ever messed up my order. And I have been here dozens of times. Unlike another place (rhymes with "Pike's") that gets my order wrong like 50% of the time. And their vegan options are incredible. I think I could eat here everyday if I really wanted to. read more

So delicious! I have been eating Vegan since January and I'm always missing deli sandwiches. Crave subs did NOT disappoint. All the food was delicious! I got the vegan Shrek and the vegan Wonder Woman fries. They were both so tasty and filling. I will definitely be back! read more

We have been going to crave for a few years and always enjoyed it...but this weekend we got our daughter's birthday catered by crave and it was a godsend! We had a party of 70 guests. This was my first time ordering food for a party of this size and they made it so easy for us. We weren't sure how many to get and what options were and they helped suggest the perfect order down to some simple options for the kids. The presentation was beautiful. I loved the boxes they came in and were so easy to display and store the little leftovers that we had. There was something in there for everyone. We got the buzz light, turkey fight club, homer, and the crave Reuben. All of them stayed well, nothing was soggy. They were flavorful, well made, and had a generous amount of meat. Guests were raving about them. Highly recommended for events big and small. read more

Got the wolverine fires. Food is great. Best eaten when it still hot or fries get soggy. Service is great no complaints. I will say I don't really see much of a difference between the large and regular fries. Was still a bit hungry after eating large fries but I could be a big eater as well. read more

The sandwiches were fantastic. As a vegan I was very excited that the vegan menu was as robust as the non vegan. All four of us loved our sandwiches. read more

Amazing food especially the Spider-Man fries and I really liked the Patrick sandwich really delicious

Solid sandwich shop! I ordered a sandwich and a side of fries, and both were delicious. The sandwich I got was the Pikachu which included grilled chicken, honey mustard, sriracha, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and I added onion. Their Dutch crunch bread is so good!! Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get because the portions are huge. read more

Very good sandwiches but very expensive! Not too different from Ike's and same price just depends what you want.

I am so impressed with the sandwiches I ordered from Crave Subs today. I ordered the meat platter of all their meat sandwiches, and it was a huge hit with my staff. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and the presentation was great! It came in a box that had each sandwich labeled using a fun food pick. I will definitely be ordering from Crave Subs again. read more
