Hands down the best sandwich shop around add the in house fresh made bread you can't beat it. My favorite place to get a sandwich even though it's a ways away from where I live it's well worth the drive. Other sandwich places don't even compare. read more

I have been eating here since 1975 and have to say it is my favorite sub shop! Always fresh and tasty with a quaint, charming atmosphere. When you walk in you can smell the goodness ! Forget about the chain sub shop's and go to Joe-Ed's Bomber ! You won't be disappointed ! They are always friendly and you can watch them prepare your sandwich. I suggest the Double Bomber with meatball sauce ! Reasonable prices and generous portions. .... Simply FANTASTIC ! read more

I often wonder how two reviews can be so different ... did the reviewers eat at the same restaurant? I went to this place once and will never return. The sandwich I had was only fair, and it was over-priced. What really ruined my experience was the rude woman who took my order. I got the distinct impression she didn't want me there! read more

I've loved the bomber for years. No better sub around!

Fantastic sandwiches. This place is a true Arlington institution. Try the chicken salad. It's the best I have ever had.... read more

I don't understand the negative feedback. This place rocks! Everything is fresh not delivered by a food service. Sandwiches are delicious. No, you don't have a long menu to look at--this place serves the sandwiches that are have been proven to be enjoyed for over 22 years. BUT, do try the new veggie sandwich with avocado, by the way, it is scrumptious! Go to Subway if you want the same old same old--go to Jo Ed's if you want the best. And I am not a paid spokesman!! read more

Average sub shop. Ice tea was old tasting. Comparable to a subway sandwich. Ordered the regular bomber. Not a lot of choices. Thought the bread was fresh and cheese was cheesy. Friend ordered tuna fish and it was just ok. read more

Jo-Ed's: a sandwich shop with an agenda. I first visited this Reagan wet-dream a few years ago. Fox news on the t.v., contemporary christian music on the speakers, and tea party posters all over the wall. I felt like Jim Carrey in that scene from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, when he walks into the room with animal heads all over the wall. I almost had a panic attack. But I muscled through to try the sandwich my father ate and was so fond of when he was in high school. I immediately noticed the place was full of on duty cops during their lunch break and hoped that they weren't down wind to the freshly smoked joint I had just enjoyed. The lady behind the counter scared me a little but i stood tall . I ordered a double bomber with extra pickle (a nice perspective on relish) like I owned the damn place. Upon my first bite, the Evangelical right-winged atmosphere faded into obscurity and I was hooked! There is a familiar tang to these bad boys and it is loaded with delicious cuts of meat. I would eat one of these things off of Rush Limbaugh's naked bloated body. Mmmmmm! read more

This is probably the best sandwich in the world! Order a bomber with meat sauce, DON'T change anything and enjoy. I've been eating here for a long time and tried MANY sandwich places and this is #1. If you don't think there is enough meat on it order a double. Some people are never happy and shouldn't be writing reviews. read more

Really good basic subs, quality meats and cheeses. Friendly employees and quick service. Only real problem is lack of variety and the minimal seating. The variety issue can be solved by building your own sub but I would like to see more hot sub options besides the meatball sub. The lack of seating (probably seats 20 or so) isn't an issue during off peak hours. read more

Jo-Ed's Bomber has Rock and Rolled and then some the moment they opened their doors to current day! I don't care if ya'll have remodeled or not, I crave the days I plan to buy your subs!! Your store is always very clean!!! I've been your customer since the '70s and still love being a patron. My wish is for someone to start delivering to the Hwy 287 corridor!! Mary, you are always a ray of sunshine and smiles!! read more

Love this sub place. Food is great and they serve you right away! The Military Memoriabilia Is Cool And I support our troops as they!! #USA!! read more

Too expensive for what you get and the sandwiches are just so-so. I like to support local businesses, but Subway is much better both in taste and value. read more

I haven't eaten here since 1988. Great memories and an awesome sandwich. So glad they are still here.

6" sandwich was more like 4.5. No lettuce on it even though I asked for it and they use pickle relish, not pickles. I won't be back!

Pretty decent sandwich I had. I ordered a turkey sandwich with provolone cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, jalapeno peppers,a shake of dried red peppers, mayo, and spicy mustard. I love spicy if you can't tell. Lol. I really liked their Italian bread. Better than subway bread! They were pretty nice but the place seems a little old or dated. May need a remodel or something. Obviously they are dog lovers. Had some dog donations and pictures of a bunch of dogs on the wall. Lol. All just my opinion.... Check it out yourself! read more

Hands down THE BEST tuna salad sandwich anywhere. It's perfect in it's simplicity. It seems like plain old tuna and mayo, but the bread, fresh tomatoes and romaine lettuce, oil, dill relish, and seasoning make it something really special. Especially the seasoning!! I have got to find out what kind of seasoning that is! Its like a regular seasoning salt but more herb-y, and it's amazing. I've been here several times and always get the tuna or chicken salad. One day i'll get around to trying some of the other meats, maybe their signature bomber, but the tuna is just SO good! $7 for a 6 inch sandwich alone is kind of pricey (the combo with chips and a drink are about $9) but for such a great sandwich, and knowing you're supporting a wonderful family-owned and operated small business makes it so worth it. And they're always so friendly and welcoming. read more

I love Jo-Ed's. Their sandwiches have never been disappointing. I ordered a sandwich tray for our Christmas party and everyone loved them and wanted to know where to find Jo-Ed's. The folks that run the shop are all fantastic too. read more

I have been going to Jo-Eds Bomber for almost 35 years. IMO they have the best sub I've ever eaten. The only drawback in the early days was the family that owned the place. There was nothing even remotely friendly about them, but I would put up with them long enough to get one of their subs. The family that owned the place sold it quite a while back, and the lady that bought it is extremely nice and friendly, and continued with the same recipe. I live in McKinney now, but I always stop and get several to go. read more

Hands Down. THE Best Sub Shop In Arlington! Greatness Since The Early '70s. Stop By Here Every Chance I Get When I'm In Town!

I think I have a thing for small businesses and Jo-Ed's seems to be an older establishment that thrives on its small town vibes. Sandwich choice are small but they are pretty good quality. read more

Fresh, yummy, and great staff. Love the atmosphere with all the armed forces decor. Meats and cheeses are freshly cut. Subway has nothing on this place. read more

Best sub sandwich in the metroplex. Prices are reasonable, service has been friendly for 30+ years that I've been going there. I like the original 6" Bomber on white bread. It's NOT a chain restaurant. (Sorry Quiznos and Subway, but just eat your heart out because the Bomber is the best.) read more

" How I miss the nights of watching movies and having mom come up with a bag of bombers. The salty and delicious relish makes this sandwich along with the tasty bread that is soft with just enough fight in it. Long live Jo-Ed's Bomber! " I second that. There was once a Jo Ed's Bomber in Downtown Fort Worth. I can still taste the oil, peppers and relish they used on their Bombers and later Grinders. Jo Ed's sold and it was renamed Dave's Deli. I would pay good money to know how they made the pickle relish and Oil. read more

Background: I grew up in Arlington, and Jo-Ed's was in my neighborhood. I've lived in Austin since 2005. As such, in the classic "keeping Austin weird", I eat at more local restaurants than chains. Since my parents still live in my childhood home, I still have access to Jo-Ed's. In fact, a visit doesn't go by that I don't ask for my folks to bring me Jo-Ed's to Austin or we get them when I'm in town. Additional Background: My career requires that I travel all over the country. Such travel has introduced me to the varying extremes that come with eating away from your home. You can eat at the chains and have some semblance of normalcy, or you can step outside your closed box and experience different things. Jo-Ed's is one of a kind and you'd be hard-pressed to find anything similar in DFW. As Henry Kissinger said, "The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people they think it's their fault." As such, unfortunately, chains have become the "celebrities". If you want something generic, predictable and boring - go to Subway and drink Bud Light and blame yourself. If you want something original and delicious, go to here and brew your own beer. Those who complain about Jo-Ed's not being like Subway or Quiznos and the like simply don't have good taste. They probably prefer an Applebee's steak to Ruth's Chris or a McDonald's burger to Hut's. The point is that some people like easily repeatable mush and others actually have taste. read more

Have always enjoyed this place until today. Food was still good but the staff was very rude.

Fake cheese. :( I havent eaten here in years, but I dont recall the Kraft singles on the sandwich. Bread was good, it is just missing something. I would choose Dino's over this any day. Just blah. BUT....the staff is soooo nice. Too bad. :( read more

Best darn Eastern Style sub in the Dallas area. Subway and Quizno's can't hold a candle to this place. I used to get eastern style subs at a place in Plano, called the Sub Shop, and that place was great. Bombers is the only eastern sub style sandwich that comes close to old Plano Sub Shop. I go almost every other week. If you like a sandwich with great fresh/soft bread, great meats, fresh vegetables, relish, and great condiments, this is the place. I just had a turkey/cheese sub today, and it was one of the best I've had in a very long time. This place is always very consistent on quality. read more

I have been going to Jo-Eds for about 30 years which should tell you something right there! I have never found a better tasting bomber sandwich sub anywhere! The owner is very nice and goes out of her way to make you feel special...she even gave me chocolate to take to my dad who can no longer get out. read more

Great place. Been there many times. To those of you who dog it after going once, I'm not sure I understand. Consistantly good sandwiches... read more

This is GREAT one off sub shop. Nothing like the same old stuff at Subway, Quizno's, or Blimpie's. Very good. Get the Double Bomber. The secret ingredient is the oil. The staff is friendly, and hard-working. Really worth the time. read more

I had my first Bomber from Jo Eds in the early 80's and have been in love with them ever since. Although I've been away serving in the military for the past few decades, I always try to make it by for a Bomber whenever I get the rare chance to come home. The Bomber has a distinctive taste that you come to crave after your first one, and it cannot be matched for quality and value. I hope Jo Eds is around for another 30 years, at least. They should expand and give Subway (generic subs!) a run for their money. read more

I've been eating at Jo-Ed's since about 1976 and I've got to say that you won't find a better sub sandwich! I love this place and the German lady that owns the place is a real doll! I now live in central tx,but when I'm in Pantego I make sure to stop in and eat lunch! I wish I had a triple bomber right now! read more

5 stars for the outstanding sandwiches. One star loss for not offering the military any discount when the entire theme inside the restaurant is military and support the troops! read more

Love this place!! Staff is fun and they have a taste unlike anywhere else!! Go Bomber!
