Cult. You can't change the world with a sandwich, though you can at least make it good. Hungry Bear's Honey Mustard Chicken didn't taste like what the name suggests (to put it nicely) and it certainly didn't fill me up in spite of having had a huge breakfast beforehand. Whoever assigns prices here relies on the inelastic demand. But hey, free refills *are* a thing. read more

Well, I don't want to date myself with my readers in the Yelposphere, but I first starting coming to Hungry Bear in 19freaking80, when I went to MDCC for classes all day, then worked there at night for another 8 hours. Many times, The Bear's delicious, ginormous subs helped me make it through. So...today my wife surprised me with a steak 'n cheese from Hungry Bear. Lo and behold, it was just as great as I remembered. Tons of finely chopped meat on a fresh whole wheat roll. Again, Mr. Big Appetite couldn't finish it! This sub is better than even the steak 'n cheese I had when in Philadelphia. Wife advises that it's still the same tiny postage stamp location, but that the crew there works as a team in the cramped quarters, efficiently preparing the subs fresh in less than 10 minutes. Not quite 5 stars as parking there is a b....ch and there's only some uncomfortable tables in the common area of the kinda rundown plaza where the shop is. If, however, you want a carryout, appetite-satisfying sub that appeals to your inner meat lover, and whose quality hasn't waned in 35 years, Hungry Bear is the place to go read more

In 1981, fresh out of college, and owning nothing, I took a job at an office in the Hungry Bear shopping center for $12,000 a year. These people saved my life. In the fall I worked 6 AM to 10 PM and the rest of the year 8 AM to 9 PM. Lunch and dinner was a Hungry Bear sub. Hot corned beef and cheese. Italian cold cuts bomb. Big and deliciious, dripping juicy goodness. (and cheap). At lunch the Killian kids swarmed the place, passing money to the front and subs to the back. Chuck worked the griddle, and still does. Going back there now is a religious experience. Wish we had one here. And wish College Park pizza was still there. read more

Hungry Bear, I love you. The best sandwich place in Miami, hands down. Located far west, a place I never venture out to UNLESS it is for Hungry Bear. Yes, it is worth the road trip. Yes, when you walk in it's a little bit overwhelming. Trust me, there is a method to their madness. Don't be alarmed if you are a newbie, someone behind the counter will take care of you and make you the best sandwich of your life. My personal favorite is the Buffalo Chicken Ranch and I know it will be your favorite. Buffalo chicken, ranch, bacon and lettuce served on their delicious sub bread HOT. I also am a fan of the classics: terrayaki chickn and honey mustard chicken. Their philly cheesesteak is also great. I do not think you can come out of here with a bad sub. Just when you thought it can't get any better, Hungry Bear also has the good ice. You know what I am talking about the really shredded ice that is perfect with your fountain soda. Yes, I know Hungry Bear is perfection. Get in your car and go. read more

Best Sub Shop in Miami. Bar none, hands down...Yes, it was better in the past and the teeny boppers working there don't help the situation, but still..that grill has been there for ages, and those aromas can not be duplicated. Hungry Bear = Best of Miami. My personal favorites: Honey Mustard Chicken, Buffalo Chicken and roast beef and turkey. read more

Everyone that grew up and went to highschool in Miami knows where FoxMar photography is. Well this place is right behind it. I hold this place close to my heart, as they named it after one of my nicknames. These submarines mean business. Don't walk in thinking your getting subway fresh fit garbage! Every sub on the menu is overflowing with what ever you desire. The buffalo chicken sub is amazing! They lace it with blue cheese and great hot sauce. A good Philly cheese steak is hard to come by in Miami, but these are fuego! The steak bomb comes with shrooms, peppers and onions. Get it with the steak sauce! WARNING : HUNGRY BEAR'S Subs cause hibernation 30 minutes after you consume. read more

The best sub shop EVER!!! The place is tiny so you have to take it to go but if u get it on the run it's absolutely amazing! The subs are hearty worth more than what u pay easily a shareable lunch or leftovers for later! read more

People who follow my reviews know that I love pastrami; that bacon, despite all of the internet hubbub that surrounds it, plays second fiddle in the orchestra of my palate to the deliciousness that is hot grilled pastrami. This love of pastrami goes back some twenty-some years to my youth in Miami, where I found sub shops that would craft this hot beef artistry. Hungry Bear is one of those places. It has sadly set a exceedingly high standard for sandwiches for me, one that the various sandwich shops of my now-homebase of Atlanta cannot match. read more

Hungry Bear. The classic. The real deal. You go in to the little hole in the wall, and the place is humming. Got the sizzle in the air and the employees yelling out orders. The method of this spot is awesome, you get the full run of all the questions due to their sandwich sleeves. My order, was the steak bomb. This sandwich is not pretty, it's not fancy, it's a true manwich. It just gets the job done. It's just solid steak. I ordered mushrooms and onions, and they were definitely light on the fixings for me this last time. If they had boosted the ratio and found the right mix of the savory and the umame, this may have very well been a 5 Star review. I am a man of simple needs. The direct nature of this place, the portion sizes, the overall formula is not one to be messed with. This is a great place to take that girl you've been out with a few times, in order to see how she reacts to messy eating in front of you. The real acid test. read more

When I went to Miami Dade College, I used to come to this place a lot. I would order the turkey with bacon. I now go every so often, as they have a few breakfast sandwiches I like. I no longer eat meat, so my "usual" is not an option. I think the service in this place is good, but the main reason I do not give it any more stars, is because there is no place to sit and the location itself is very small and cramped. If I remember the history of this place correctly, they have been around for ages. I really think they should have evolved by now. Many times I steer away from coming, just because I know that I wont have a place to sit and enjoy my food (outdoor area is gross and full of bird poop). My suggestion to management: Set up a few cute, easy to maintain tables outside. Clean up the inside from clutter, and you will see your profits increase. read more

I haven't been to Hungry Bear in ages. Many moons ago, while attending MDC, my friends and I would frequently buy our lunches from here. One sub would feed two broke college kids. That is still an option now. My husband & I can easily share a sub. My favorite was always the Cheesesteak & Onions and that is precisely what we got this time. Ya know, for old times sake. The sandwich was as huge as I remembered it. Don't expect a Subway's skimpy on the meat type thing. This meat is grilled up while you wait. Again, not microwaved like at the aforementioned place. The sub had quite a bit of weight to it, thanks to it having a ginormous amount of meat. It was quite tasty too and we were both satisfied. Remember that this is a take-out place. We used to take it back to school to eat there. There are two tables in the middle of the building, but those are out in full sun. So if it's a hundred degrees in the shade, that is not an option. I guess that we could always drive across the street and pretend that we're back in college. The folks here are always friendly and service is quick. Add that to good food and you can't really ask for much more. read more

Pretty disappointing. Just grabbed a steak and onion and egg breakfast sub to go from this place and it was not good at all. First off, they got the order wrong. We asked for Swiss cheese but, when we got home, there wasn't even the slightest hint of cheese anywhere on/in it. The bigger problem, though, is that they didn't season it AT ALL. The whole sub just tasted like watery beef with a mild egginess to it. I had to improvise with some leftover sauces from Pollo Tropical just to be able to choke my half down. My wife barely touched hers. I'll probably give this place a second chance at some point. Based on all the positive reviews, I've got to think it was just a fluke that my experience was so bad. The prices are decent, and the amount of food they give you is impressive. If only there had been some flavor. read more

Best place in Miami. I get the oriental chicken sub almost every time. The tuna, honey mustard chicken, Buffalo Caesar, and burger subs are excellent too read more

It says something about a sub shop that when you meet people from Miami outside of Miami, Hungry Bear will inevitably turn up in the conversation. It goes even further when that conversation is about places you eat at when you return to Miami. Now almost everyone in Miami has a long history of Hungry Bear. I grew up east of US-1, so it wasn't until high school youth group that I discovered Hungry Bear. One of the members was from Philadelphia and he said it was the best Cheesesteak south of Philly. Regardless of this fact, I instantly became addicted to the place, continuing to attend throughout high school and on breaks in college, until going full circle - being the youth group adviser and suggesting the group go to Hungry Bear. My only regret here, is that I've been boring - every time I go, I get the same thing: WITH. For those that don't know, "with" is the staff's code for a cheesesteak with onions. From there I get provolone, mayo, salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar. I've always wanted to try one of their chicken subs, like the honeymustard, but I love the cheesesteak so much I can't help myself. Also iconic is the ice for the fountain drinks. little pellets of ice that make any soda a cool treat. read more

I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I went for the highly recommended honey mustard chicken sub, which is usually my "go to". It was flavorful but flooded with honey mustard- too much for me to really enjoy. I will give hungry bear another try, but for now, I will stick to super subs on bird and 67th. read more

Sometimes it's good and sometimes it meh. Overall, a no frills dinner serving up no frills deals. Worth the visit if you're nearby, hungry and on a dine. read more

The best tasting subs l have ever had in my 55 years of living!! I love the variety and the speed in which they take your order and prepare your sub!!! Miami, Florida has a gem in Hungry Bear. read more

One of the best places to get a great sub in Kendall. Always serving a generous portion and very fast and friendly service.

This place made me proud of my years in Miami. I had the blessed pleasure of working a few blocks away from this joint and I can smell the Steak Bomb heroes from my desk. I've eaten plenty of cheesesteaks and heroes in my travels, from my beginnings in the Bronx to my middles in Orlando and Miami and my currents BACK in the Bronx and now New Jersey. I make trips to Philly every chance I get to cop cheesesteaks...and I thank myself for each pilgrimage....but I stop and say to myself, "it's not Hungry Bear but it'll have to do." Yeah I said it. If Hungry Bear opened an outpost in Philadelphia, many cheesesteak spots would close its doors forever. The Chicken Bomb is as threatening as its Steak counterpart and can also cause delis up north to remain shook. The place is the size of a matchbox so be prepared to eat your Bomb outside in the hot sunshine...they have tables and benches just outside the joint...hope you know somebody with a clean bathroom nearby LOL! Enjoy! read more

Love this place it's really good, service and prices are moderate. Their service normally is fast

I've been going to this place for many years and now that I don't live in Miami anymore, I crave it. I make it a point to go there every time I visit and it never disappoints. I am a loyal fan of the steak bomb! read more

Hands down the best sub place in Miami. I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I honestly have tried about 15 different subs from here and I still haven't had one that I did not like the subs are made fresh on the spot the variety is astonishing all kinds of subs for different tastes I always suggest this place to anyone who wants to eat a great sandwich for cheap prices! They also serve salads and some desserts or treats like cookies and key lime pie, This place can get quite crowded at times due to the students who visit during lunch but stop on by to get a sub that outdoes them all. Who needs subway when hungry bear is around?!?!! read more

The staff is neutral. Not rude but not friendly either. The subs are great. They use a lot of meat and they are very tasty. I've been here before in the past but it's been a while. I forgot how packed the subs are with meat. It's so good. The subs are also made fresh to order. That's always a plus. It's almost 10 bucks a sub but it's soo worth it. The ice machine had the little ice crumbles. I absolutely love that. It's the best ice for your drink. They have a medium and a large drink cup size. Tbh you might as well just get the large for a 30 cent difference. I always get their cherry coke. Soooo good. It's very close to my house too. It's located across the street from Miami Dade College. Parking can sometimes be difficult but that's not a big deal. I will be returning on the next day I'm feeling like a sub! read more

One of my absolute go-to's for an awesome sub. I always have a hard time deciding between the Philly Cheese Steak or the Buffalo Chicken. If you're ever indecisive pick one of these two. You can never go wrong with these classic subs. Hungry Bear makes them both absolutely phenomenal. So glad I discovered this little hole in the wall! read more

Thinking about Hungry Bear makes my mouth water. Whenever I'm in Miami I try to stop off at HB to get my fix. This is the place where I take all of my out of town friends so they can experience the glory that is Hungry Bear. I usually go BBQ chicken, but lately I have been getting the Oriental chicken with almonds and lo mein crunchy noodles. Excellent!! All of my friends rave about their bacon or steak subs. If you've been to HB then you know there is little to no room to eat and if it's raining your going to have to take it home because the only place to sit are these metal tables outside. I recommend getting your sub and fountain drink (great ice) and driving home as quickly as possible so you make enjoy the sub on the comfort of your couch. The people that work there are always in HS/College so don't expect A+ service. Just remember that this will be one of the best subs you've ever eaten and this makes up for their poor service and crowded space. read more

Great sub shop! Close to Miami Dade College . Good prices. Enjoy

So I have been eating Hungry Bear subs since I was in high school..20+ years ;) They are friendly and offer good service! I love all their subs except for the Cheesesteak...I know, everyone raves about the Cheesesteak, but I don't like it as the steak looks like it's been through a grinder (its way too chopped up), and they don't cook the cheese n steak together, which leaves you with some tasteless bites of beef. When I eat a Cheesesteak sub, I want every bite to have that cheesy taste! For a good Cheesesteak sub, try Tamiami Subs! At Hungry Bear, my faves are the chicken n cheese and the egg subs! They pack their subs with whatever you order, so you definitely get your money's worth! read more

I've been coming to this location since I was in high school back '00-01. I was ecstatic to see they're still around and making great tasting subs. Kudos to the owner for keeping things original. The sub I had today was as delicious as I remember them. My only wish is that I could come here more often. A recommendation to those who read this would be to request your sub with garlic and oregano on the grill (gives your sub great flavor). After all these years, I can imagine I'll end bringing my own kids here to enjoy a sub . read more

As good as it gets for subs. They have 8 people working behind the counter at all times! Super fast service, good prices. Get the honey mustard chicken, italian cold cuts, or the cheese steak. Still good after all these years! read more

Hungry Bear Sub Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Miami, Florida

Best subs anywhere . Best cheesesteak, oriental chicken is also great , husband loves the cheeseburger subs ... no sub shop we have eaten at over the last 20+ years is as good ... wish they had a dining room but otherwise it's the best ! read more

super small hole in the wall shop but they have the BEST SUBS IN MIAMI !!!!! LOVE THIS PLACE read more

This is my absolute favorite sub shop. It was around when my parents were young and they've passed on the Hungry Bear love to me. I totally recommend the steak sub with provolone, mushrooms, grilled onions and the hot peppers sauce. The hot peppers sauce is one of those unique sauces. It has a kick and is definitely not too spicy. Everytime I go, it's packed. I always get the good really fast too! Can't say their brownies are the best, of course that's not their specialty. Other than that, absolutely my go-to Sub shop in Miami. One of the best! read more

Hungry bear is a sandwich shop near my work and home and I've been going to it for years. Every year the prices go up for the same mediocre experience. They do have good subs, but due to low quality Philly cheesesteak meat, I cant give this place more than 3 stars. The chicken Caesar sub and the cold turkey are my go to subs when I occasionally end up at hungry bear. The worst sub they have is the burger sub. It tastes like old greasy goat meat. I don't understand why the beef tastes so bad, but I literally have to avoid all red meat from hungry bear. You're okay going with chicken, veggies, and cold cuts though. read more

Went here after getting my books and stuff for dade. Its hidden in the corner of the shopping mall right across the street. The place is super small actually and there was a line because it was around lunctime. I decided to go with the terayaki steak sub on wheat bread. I gave my order and received my sub about 5 mins later. The staff was friendly and quick which I loved. Now, lets get to the actual sub. It was HUGE. I could only eat half of it but it was so delicous and good, my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it lol. Seating though was a pain, it was hot as hell outside so we sat in a bench but i would have loved if the actual place had seating, that was the only problem I had with hungry bear. Other than that it was great and I plan on coming here alot between classes or for lunch when I get out of school :) read more

What can I say that has not already been said? It's a whole in the wall sub shop. My opinion: The honey mustard chicken sub with mushrooms and cheese is bomb ass. Park along the street and eat outside in the picnic table area. These subs are best eaten a moment after they have been prepared. There is a NO REFILLS sign for the fountain drinks so skip that ice baby bubba if you want to get the most bang for your buck. read more

This has been a staple in Miami for over 15 years, and by far one of the best sub shops I have ever been too. I usually order a Hot Roast Beef which is amazing! Staff is always friendly, and they do a decent job of getting your order out in a timely fashion. So if you are ever in the Kendall area, you must stop by this place! Forget Subway & Quizno's this place will blow your mind read more

I have been going to hungry bear since the early 90's. Today, I drive approximately 20 miles to Hungry Bear because I know I'll get the best sub in the city. Staff is always friendly, fast service, & the best subs (& salads). Love you guys!!! read more

Hole in the wall shop made for a big appetite. These subs are overflowing with meat and not to mention they are LONG and BIG subs. The location and prices are suitable for college students. It is right across the street from MDC, and the environment is very laid back. There is a table outside right under a tree to give you shade while you enjoy your food, and anything you choose to eat will be delicious. The menu has a long list of Hot and Cold subs to pick from. I recommend the Philly Cheese Steak and the Honey Mustard Chicken. There are so many and they are all delicious you cant go wrong with any of them. GREAT PLACE! read more

Best sub in Miami! I go every time I come into Town, I bring my friends my family it's a staple of Miami! read more
