As the other reviewer already said, D'Atri's cheese steak subs are famous. Fortunately, I live in the area so I can enjoy them anytime I want. I typically go for the cheese steak salad, which is basically the famous sub without the "sub" part. They make their subs and some salads with their signature "seasoned lettuce", which you just have to try for yourself because it's impossible to describe. But I've tried many other things because I'm lucky enough to have this place in my hometown. They make a great reuben (which can be made with turkey if you prefer) and have a nice fried haddock that is bigger and whiter on the inside than the plate it's served on. I typically do carry-out because it's usually really crowded inside and the atmosphere isn't really what I would call enchanting...lol. But that's just me. Being that it is truly a family restaurant and a local institution you will find all types of people there at any given time, so it can be a little loud. And most of the waitresses are nice, but the place is so busy that it is very hard for them to focus on any one given table. Parking is really tight as well, so if you're planning to go there at peak hours on a Friday or Saturday night be prepared to be frustrated while trying to find a space. But that just shows how popular this establishment is and has been for as long as I can remember. It's definitely a place you want to check out if you're new to the area or just passing through. read more

When in the area we ALWAYS visit here. The steak sub is the best I've had anywhere . They also serve the same thing as a salad( minus the sub roll). I recommend adding the sweet peppers. The 'large' is huge and hard to finish (fun to try). There is usually a wait so sign your name in with hostess at front. Highly recommend! read more

D'Atri's Restaurant - Large steak sub - Sandwiches Near Me - La Vale, Maryland

See all

Whenever I travel 68 I make it a point to stop at D'Atri's. The food is amazing. Their signature meal is a steak sub. It seems like a simple sandwich but it's overloaded with meat, mayonnaise and a shredded lettuce that is seasoned wonderfully. Be prepared to make a mess. I suggest the sweet peppers as an add on to the sub. read more

A really good small city restaurant that specializes in Subs and Italian. The Soup and Pepperoni Rolls are really good. Chicken Noodle Soup was freshly made and has great flavor. The only drawback is the subs/sandwiches sides are extra. read more

We stopped in here for dinner the other evening and it was so good! I got the manicotti! I highly recommend stopping by!

This place is amazing! I came to visit my sister and she brought us here to this little family restaurant. The cheese steaks we ordered are huge and everything is so fresh!! Service is amazing as well. I've never given 5 stars or rave reviews but this place deserves it! I'm so glad we came, and we will be coming back again to eat here soon. :) read more

Service was fine, food was lacking. Hard to call yourself an Italian restaurant when you hardly serve any Italian food. Serving size was large for the price, but largely not worth it still. Would not recommend. read more

As a local when out of town visitors ask where they should eat this is one of my top spots to send them to. The cheese steak sub is deliciously topped with their homemade seasoned lettuce and I would think their top seller. Their Italian menu is great as well. You get a dish of Lasagna that I can get two meals out of! Wonderful wait staff as well. Make sure to grab a home made dessert on your way out, I'd suggest a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie or brownie or a turnover. Fresh bread is also available every day to take home to accompany your own dinner. read more

A favorite place for the locals. If you want a sub, try the cheesesteak sub. It's delish and a must try choice.

Very popular local sit down restaurant. Two levels. Love sitting in the upstairs level and looking out. Nice variety of menu selections, from amazing subs to generous and tasty pasta dishes. They make their own breads and have a delightful bakery where you can buy breads and desserts to go. I never leave without carrying out at least two loaves of their delicious breads. Been here many times and will go, again. read more

I am writing a review for carry-out, and not dine in service. While I was on my way to Deep Creek Lake, I was told that I had to stop at this location to fully experience the "Amazing steak subs". When I called to place my order, they were very friendly and helpful while explaining all of the things that would be included in the sub (tomato, lettuce, sweet peppers, cheese, miracle whip, meat and onions). I was very skeptical about the Miracle Whip, but, being a purist, I decided to go with it, as all the locals were all the rave about it. The next step in ordering would be asking for what size sub you want. Again, my friends who recommended this place to me, told me to "go big, or go home" so I went with the large. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up my order, I immediately became suspicious when my bag that held my sandwich had some serious weight to it. After paying, I took my sub to the car in hopes of being able to eat while riding in the car. MISTAKE. This is not an eat-on-the-go type of sandwich. This behemoth that has the audacity to be labeled a "sub" should most definitely be eaten at a table, on a plate, with a knife and a fork. First, they overstuff this (but in a good way), and DON'T CUT IT in half. This, is not acceptable etiquette when serving a HUGE sub such as this. Second, the moment you pick it up to put it in your mouth, you'll either A) not be able to fit it in your mouth, B.) have a lap full of meat/lettuce/innards from the falling sandwich components, or C) Get a hand-full of Miracle whip, as it seemed as though they completely drenched the inside of the hoagie bun with half a jar of the stuff. Now, if all those things sound appealing to you, then this is something you'll thoroughly enjoy. I however, did not. After the first few bites, I found that though the meat was well seasoned, and the tomatoes/sweet peppers nice and ripe, the bread KILLED it for me. The bun had almost a stale taste to it, where it wasn't at all soft, and almost had the taste of, for lack of a better word, cardboard. I ended up just taking a fork and scooping out all of the meat from the inside, while abandoning the bun. Overall, I'd say that the sandwich wasn't that great, and I would more than likely look for other dining options when in the Cumberland area. read more

Repeat customer. Steak subs are phenomenal. It's always a bit of a wait to be seated and a bit noisy, but the food is always delicious.

This is probably my favorite place to eat, the service is always great and the food is amazing! The only downfall is that they're always super busy!! Tried to eat there today and there was a line leading out the door! But they do accept door dash so I did end up getting my food delivered to me at my sister-in-laws read more

I stopped here on the way home for takeout as I was passing through the area. I've always heard it was great, so I thought I'd give it a try. I only went in to the take out area on the left side of the building. They have a pastry case and homemade bread for sale in this area. The restaurant was packed on Monday at 2pm. I couldn't believe how busy they were for mid afternoon. I ordered the house special, a toasted pepperoni roll with sauce and cheese. I'm from WV and have pretty high standards for pepperoni rolls. All I can say is WOW!! For $6.40 with tax, I indulged in a massive, amazing, delicious, cheesy, saucy, pepperoni roll. They used sliced pepperoni (as opposed to stick), cut the bun down the middle, covered it in marinara sauce, then topped it with cheese and toasted it. I started chowing down in the parking lot and finally finished this massive treat crossing the WV state line (about 30 miles). I highly recommend this place. The staff were super nice, the restaurant and bathrooms are clean, and they pride themselves on true customer service. My only complaint is that it's an hour and a half away from home! I'll definitely stop here any time I pass through!! read more

I only eat one thing at this restaurant, a ham hoagie. The seasoned lettuce makes this a hoagie like no other. If you haven't had one, hurry and get one. We always stop here for dinner when we are in town visiting family. We recently found out they will ship hoagies and have had one shipment arrive in TX. The hoagie that was shipped was just as good as eating in the restaurant. I also like that you can do take-out. read more

How can one give this place less than 4 stars? This place makes some of the best subs in America. If you ordered anything other than a hogie, or salad then you deserve one star my friend. And if you didn't like the subs, your most likely a terrorist, or maybe a member of the Westboro baptist church. read more

This used to be a very good restaurant. The prices are just too high for the quality of food and services. The food comes out cold and bland now. They no longer allow soup as a side, and doesn't make much sense. read more

For 20 years I have been visiting my MIL in Cumberland, and D'Atris is the must stop. We've eliminated the cheesesteak bun and just gone for the cheesesteak salad. There's no illusion of diet food, but the deliciousness without the miracle whip and bun make it awesome. read more

Third time there this year. First two times great cheese steak salad. It's a family place with booths and tables. Well lit, busy, pleasant staff and a good sized Italian menu. I was looking forward to this evening's meal, but two of us were very disappointed. Our cheese steak salad and steak salad were over the top on salt. It was not the dressing on the side, it was their lettuce and the bottom of the bowl was way to salty. Not sure why there would be salt in the lettuce. Not sure what to advise overall as this is a locals favorite, but, someone messed up tonight. read more

At first glance of D'atri's menu I must say I thought the price was a bit high priced... Really almost 10 bucks for a large steak sub? Once my food arrived I then understood the price point.. this sub was the size of 2 normal subs shoved together. The hardest accomplishment was trying to figure out a way to pick half of this sub up to get it to my mouth. Delicious! The seasoned Lettuce was great, and the sweet peepers added a great flavor. Overall I was impressed with this sandwich, and will be hitting this place up again. read more

I've heard a lot of hype from my husband and in-laws about this place. The restaurant was very busy the night we went (and I guess it always is). The inside of the restaurant and clean and the servers were very nice and quick. I ordered a chicken sub with fries. The meal wasn't mind blowing, but the portions are very large. They also unfortunately do not serve alcohol. read more

Love this place. Every time I'm in the area it is my goto for some good food. The Reuben is one the best. My fav are the sub's steak and Italian. Price is a lil higher than subway.. But u get so much more. The gobs and other bakery items are perfect and always hit the spot. The wait staff is always busy yet they never forget or over look us. We are always well taken care of. Love this place read more

Seasoned lettuce - who knew!? Delicious, homemade sammys. Haven't tried anything but the buffalo chicken and cheese steak. Both were fresh and tasty. Very garlicy - and a tad salted, but I loved every moment of it. We called ahead for take out as we were on the road traveling. Quick and painless. read more

Eight of us stopped for lunch on St Patty's Day and all were happy with their meal. Subs were huge and delicious.

Led here by way of traveling through Maryland and consulting Yelp. This sit-down restaurant was clean. The waitress was courteous, attentive and helpful. However our food was less than stellar. Sandwiches were huge, as promised by fellow Yelpers. Cheese steak sandwich - meat was unseasoned, couldn't detect provolone cheese as it was overpowered by the saltily-seasoned lettuce and intermittent globs of miracle whip. Cheese hoagie could have been improved by heating it to meld the ingredients and flavors together. Water and soda tasted heavily chlorinated and could be improved with a carbon-filter to remove chlorine. Total was about $16, which is not too bad for the quantity of food, however the quality could be improved. read more

Exceptional staff and food. It was disappointing that midway through a Friday service, this restaurant did not have a menu item of Baked Haddock, so an alternate seafood entree needed to be ordered. The Dreamsicle cake was amazing, as was the Cream of Crab soup. Definitely a must for families and those that do not want alcohol with dinner. Salad menu is extensive. read more

The last couple of times I've been there recently, the quality of food has been in decline. Steak subs are missing that wow factor that they once had. Not enough room for a party of 8 I was with. The host of the group was told that they don't take reservations. We waited over an hour to be seated. read more

Picked up carry out on a recommendation to get cheese steak subs. We asked for light mayo and my husband about gagged on the amount if mayo /miracle whip they put on it. Not sure what normal amount of mayo would be. Steak was good but way too much lettuce. read more

I usually have very good experiences here but today was not 1 of them. My husband was eating left over food at home and found a BREAD TIE in his buffalo chicken sub. This was horrible and disgusting. We r just hoping he didn't injest a metal bread tie cuz then we're on our way to the hospital later. read more

Stopped here on our way back home from Ohio for carry-out. The place was packed, obviously a favorite of locals and travelers alike. We ordered the steak and cheese and the Italian sub. Both came with seasoned lettuce and lots of dressings. The Italian was yum but the steak and cheese was beyond delicious!!!! read more

Above average sandwiches in a very average environment. The notorious steak sub is definitely worth it!

The food here is just okay nothing that makes you say WOW but there isn't much else to choose from this small city so I guess if your hungry it's an okay place to eat. read more

The "hot" steak and cheese was cold. The role felt like it just came out of the fridge and the cheese wasn't even melted. When I mentioned it to the lady at the counter, she got an attitude with me and told me that no one has ever complained. Guess it was my fault that they served me cold food. I will not be going back. read more

So many good things to say about this place. Forgot to take pictures of the food but it was delicious. My husband had a bowl of Chili and cheese steak he said both were very flavorful. I had the cream of crab soup, it's just as good if not better than what you would get in Baltimore right next to the bay. My sub had a little to much miracle whip for my personal taste but all and all one of the best places I have ever eaten! read more

Must have lunch here. Friendly people, get the Philly cheese steak! Better than Pats & Geno's in Philly.

Coming from an area dominated by the Philly style cheesesteak, it was a little off putting to travel out west and run full stop into the land of the "steak and cheese", a decidedly different animal including strange elements like toppings and condiments. The famous D'atri steak sandwich is not the cheesesteak of my homeland but I became accustomed to it; it's definitely a fork-and-knife level monster and the "seasoned" dressed lettuce is the most integral topping in the locals' eyes. The other foods are typical older-person dining ventures--vegetarians take care to mention meat aversions. read more

My husband is from Cumberland and we always go to D'atri's whenever we visit family there. All of their food is delicious, but our favorite is the cheesesteak salad. The seasoned lettuce and hot and sweet peppers really take it over the top! Also love their pastas and Italian subs. Would definitely recommend it if you're in the area. It's always crowded, but if you have to wait it's worth it! read more

This is a hidden gem! The food and service were fantastic! Hot turkey sandwich was beautifully roasted turkey w good! gravy that I ordered on side 'cause I was worried;) meatball sandwich also ordered @ my table and reported very good! Service was friendly an professionally helpful. Oh and cupcakes and pecan pie were delicious I will come back. Thank you!! read more

Locals love this place. Big menu with a ton of comfort food items. They make their bread and sandwich rolls in house and they have a full bakery with pies, cookies and cakes. Prices are average and the service is friendly and accommodating. Expect it to be busy most times of the day. read more

Visiting the area and went to D'Atri's for breakfast on Sat. morning. I had a pancake and added fruit for $1.00. That pancake had as many blueberries as could possibly be added to one pancake. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! My friend ordered an omelet with a biscuit and I feel like the biscuit was as big as the saucer it came on. I would definitely go there again. D'Atri's serves breakfast until 12 noon on Saturdays. The baked goods case at the take out counter was very tempting but we were stuffed. read more
