In the mood for a hearty fresh filling sun, this is the place to go! While visiting the area we had an urge to have a sub & came here cause of the awesome reviews. Gotta say not a disappointment at all! The staff was super attentive quick & nice. We saw them slicing up fresh meat for our Super Italian Sub which was truly Super Flavory! We went with the wheat bread and thou on menu it states this sub is Cold we requested to have it toasted. Which they first toasted the bread & then piled it up with the delicious cold cuts & cheese! Gotta say a 12" was filled & way more than enough to share. Could of even shared it 3 ways! The meats where sliced thinly just right for us. They were accommodating to having some additional toppings just added to one side which was super nice. Place is big & plenty of tables with chairs for eating in. Really enjoyed our lunch. Delicious and very very satisfying! Thx fellow Yelpers ur reviews on this one were right on point! A must return when in area! read more

We just moved to SoFlo and we're looking for a good sub shop. The Yelp photos of Lou's looked just like what we were looking for & we were wrong. This spot FAR FAR FAR exceeded our hopes. Bread was soft and fresh, meats sliced thin but plenty of it, cheese was great, vibe was awesome, and their brand of soda was actually fire. I cannot wait to make this a new regular spot! read more

Stopped here for lunch as a first timer. Best subs Ive eaten in awhile! Friendly & fast. Indoor/Outdoor seating available.

Philly cheese steak sandwich really missed the mark. The meat was not grilled and tastey. Not enough provolone cheese. And the bread was too large and thick. Try something elae read more

Good spot for a quick freshly prepared sandwich! Enjoyed a 6 inch Italian on soft bread with flavorful meat. Lots of soda and chip options and felt like it was a more authentic sub experience compared to the pre cut meats of the sub giants around. The inside is cozy and it gets pretty busy around lunch time. I was tempted to try the steak and cheese which seems to be the goto from what the regulars around me ordered, but was still pleased with my Italian. Overall this place does not disappoint and will see more of me soon. read more

Lou's Giant Subs - Best cream soda ever! - Sandwiches Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Let me put something out there first and foremost, my brother Jasen works here. But please believe me when I say my opinion is not biased based on that fact, because Lou's really is incredible and I INSIST if you have not been here, you at least try it! Stopped in after spending most of a day working to say hi to our brother, grabbed some lunch as well. I decided to go for the cheese steak and was pleasantly surprised in every way. The amount of steak was generous and cooked to juicy perfection, covered in melty cheese on a perfect bun. Possibly the most remarkable thing about this visit was the soup! My god the conch chowder was incredible, definitely didn't see that coming from a sub joint. Lou's customer service is outstanding and entertaining (my brother included), the decor is deliciously tacky and the walls are covered in photo's of Big Lou's fishing conquests. read more

I had come here thinking it was going to be my final sub stop, aside from Publix, and yes it was all great , but after my 3 visit i started to see the real people that work here aside from a nice lady in her 50th on the front, the guys are always mad, and if they are the one that anwser the phone they are so nasty, unless the lady take's my order i wont do one, so sad, just had a really bad moment this morning,never again ill call or go and ill make sure all my friends hear about this and member of my family, am in shock how are they still in business since 1971" hate to say this but is what i had seen and live. read more

Got the whole 12" Super Italian and I ate it all. It was good. Lots of meat, thinly sliced, on a fresh roll. Classic and delicious. This is an old school sub shop. No frills, just order, pick-up, seat yourself and check out the decor. Recommended. read more

I went there with a friend because he told me they had the best subs. I ordered a philly cheesesteak it cost me $13.80 and it had less than a quarter pound of meat on it very disappointed very disappointed in the amount of food that I paid for It. I will never go back go back too much money for not enough food the sub I give a 6 out of 10 read more

This was our first time there. This will be the last time there. Stale sub bread, tasteless and very thinly cut meat, no sauce on the eggplant sub. Was hoping to find a good neighborhood sub shop but I'll keep looking. read more

This place is in real psssh I've had better service at taco Bell I pull in and you have a few homeless people sitting there fighting each other then I get to the cash register where she tries to price gouging mean charging an extra dollar then with the men you said and then literally has the audacity to ask for a tip after leaving I drive all the way home with my dad define that my sandwich is wrong I got the wrong sandwich. They're like a bunch of angry morons in there. I don't know maybe the owners not paying them enough money they just mosey with a angry look on them at all times all the people there are very unfriendly. read more

Been coming here for lunch for a longtime. Food is great, subs are packet. The team is very quick.

Great place off of Dixie Highway First time in and ordered the turkey pesto press! DELICIOUS!!!! Will definitely come back Thank you for the fast and safe handling read more

My office just moved further north and I have been searching for a good sub shop. As you can tell by my other reviews, I know a good place when I find it. Lou's is it. Clearly, they are using the BEST bread in America (Cusano's) and the high quality toppings. I ordered the super italian and later found out that Jessica prepared it for me. It had the right balance of toppings, seasoning, everything. She was a pleasure to speak with after I called to advise of my experience (I used Uber eats). I am glad that this diamond of a place has been found. I will be a frequent customer. read more

Interesting during these times they cancel my online order 2x now. I've never tried or heard about this place but I wanted to support a local community business. Even added the 5$ support option.. still cancelled. You lost a customer for good. read more

Tried Lou's for the first time the man behind the counter said get the cheesesteak I was going to get there turkey pesto special I said is this real steak there's a guy down in ft lauderdale by the beach who makes his with fresh steak and it's half the price i with I would have tried the turkey pesto press special but this place is not a real hidden gem There's better steak place like I said there's one of sunrise and a1a right behind primantes won't be back and also if the owner reads this they should change there combo meals to 12in too even the guy behind the counter was like yeah that wasn't me who made that up and overpriced read more

Sub was disgusting, soggy and gross. Not edible. Oil leaked through the bag and got all over my car. Nothing worse than paying for food that is disgusting and the company refused to give me my money back. You couldn't pay me to go back to the establishment. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. Waste of money and terrible experience. Ham was grey and looked old. read more

I wanna start off by saying wow I first left a review for this place for having amazing subs and offering ghost pepper cheese however today I made an order through GrubHub ordered two Italians I called after making the order to verify it was correct that only after that they delivered my food I even tipped them extra cash I was so so excited to get my food when I open my subs up I find that this is not my order but someone else's . I called to let them know and the so-called manager Deb I believe her name was extremely rude and unprofessional not even close to customer service or having any type of leader ship skills she told me that it was not her problem call GrubHub and they will refund my money I told I didn't want a refund but just my order she said we close soon grub hub won't make it in time ... and what do I want her to do about it really.... apparently she doesn't understand that customers are the reason the are open... All I can say is no matter how much I enjoyed their subs I refuse to spend money at such a place that has no appreciation for their customers let alone a simple apology for their mess up THEY LOST A GOOD AND EXTREMELY LOYAL CUSTOMER The subs are good if u get u correct order and have no complaints... to that nasty manager if u hate your job so much do better for yourself. And to whoever hired her shame on you that is not who I would want representing my business....NEVER AGAIN read more

On yesterday 3/24/20 me and a group of co workers decided to place an order for subs during our lunch hr to continue to support local businesses during the pandemic as we have been doing throughout the week. I placed our order around noon picked it up about 1:30pm. Person who took the order told me about 30 minutes for the order to be ready I said not to worry we are in no hurry. When I placed the order I explained that this would be a large order all separately he placed me on a short hold and returned to the phone. I had already took the time to write out each person order individually to ensure that everyone's order would be correct once received that did not happen at all. At the end of the phone conversation the person who took the order could not give me the price of each order separately. Instead said I'll call you back with your total. Sounds cool yeah that's just the beginning. He did indeed call me back with my total still not separated but ensured me it would be separated once I picked the order up. Again I did not worry until I picked up the order that was waiting at the counter for me. Out of the 14 orders at least 10 was not correct. After I paid with my credit card for all orders because again it was not separated as they told me it would be once I came in to pick up the orders because they could not figure it out over the phone. Wings and things did just yesterday and was able to repeat all orders back to me. At least they were ready!! I spent close to $150 dollars on subs and as I was attempting to double check the orders I was asked to move out the way while the cashier continued to cash out other customers. I politely asked where is the receipt with all sub prices separately so that I can collect payment from my coworkers. Which will now be owed to me once I get back to my job because I paid for the total order with my card. No reply no acknowledgement she didn't even look up at me a moment later she prints another receipt with the in-correct orders along with the prices separated. As I look in the box several subs are without labels again we ordered 14 subs I politely asked how am I suppose to know which sub is which she then says all subs are labeled annoyed as she continues to help other customers. I then leave the business and thank them on my out the door. I get back to my job and almost every sub was in correct. I had to put on gloves and pick through the subs to determine which was which because they were not labeled. Sometimes the support of the community is just not enough for some businesses. The cashier was unprofessional they were not prepared for large takeout orders. I will not spend another dime at lous and have encouraged my co-workers and family to do the same. Shame on you all!! I am going to write a review on every site I find to ensure that management receives it which I'm sure they are all family I hope they fix this so that this does not happen again to someone else. You all have lost a loyal customer who will not be returning. read more

Great place for a quick fresh sub! I heard about Lou's on one of our dive trips down from Jacksonville .. we filled our tanks right up the road .... Dive shop suggested Lou's .. LOVED it! Always made it by Lou's when in town... NOW that I moved to the Pompano Beach area - I keep coming back for more! We love the fresh subs and always have a good experience. Lines can sometimes be lengthy during peak times of the day, but we have learned not to go during lunch. I had the BEST chicken pesto sub yesterday. This is my fave sub shop in Pompano. Decor is a dated and dress is relaxed as you can see in the pics, but it's fun decor... lots of fish and super cool pictures taken throughout the years. They keep the place neat and clean... gets a little loud during busy times, but well worth it. read more

The sub was tasty. I think I was expecting more. It was simple. I ordered 6 inch roast beef and turkey sandwich with spinach, salt and pepp, with olives and banana pepp. I was incredibly amazed. Service was quick, so a check of my bucket list. read more

I'm finally reviewing Lou's. I have been coming here for years and I'm giving a 5 star rating because I have never had a problem. Food workers customer service has always been consistent irregardless of who's working and that is a very important part about having a successful business especially in the food industry. Lose is part of Pompano it's been around for years and is a staple on Dixie Highway read more

I think this place is overrated for what it is. And its name makes you think the subs are HUGE! Is not the case at all. You get half the meat you get in Laspadas Hoagies and they charge the same $. In Laspadas Hoagies, you CAN'T finish your sub. You order a footlong and you literally can barely eat half. Here I felt I was at Subway where everything is measured. Good service but not enough food for your money. If I would've known, I would've gone to Laspadas Hoagies or Lester's Diner and eat a full meal for the same money. read more

Lou's is my new favorite sub place..I am in love with the crab salad sub and the Lobster Bisque! ! Call in your order and pick it up if you are in a hurry back to the office!! read more

Lou's Giant Subs - Crab Salad Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Whatever you're in the mood for here, it will likely be good. I love subs and sandwiches. All the meat and veggies here were fresh. The area around Lou's looks like an industrial park and its right across from the railroad tracks. We went in on a Sunday afternoon after church and it was steady. People started loading in the door as soon as we started to order! I had a complicated order if ya' know what I mean So I felt a little bad for the guests that had just piled in the door but the employees were so nice, accommodating, and quick to get all of us taken care of in order but timely. For my first time trying Lou's, the Reuben was calling my name! I asked if they could possibly not heat the sandwich all together (because at some places the bread gets a bit soggy). The guy cutting the meat was so nice, he asked me a few specifics which made for an epic Reuben. He heated up the corned beef, sauerkraut and cheese separately, toasted the rye bread and then added the thousand island. That was the best Reuben I've had in a long time. I didn't know potato salad came with it so I ordered chips. The potato salad was not good. It was way too sweet with pickle relish and carrots I think. It was also a little thick but not creamy. They just need a basic potato salad made with mayo, mustard salt, pepper, egg, paprika, and a dash of cayenne for a big batch. It would compliment the big flavors of their sandwiches better. No one wanted it so I threw it out~ that's the only reason for the four stars! The decor is old but not really outdated! It shows a guy's whole fishing life time! I actually enjoyed looking around at the photos of the many fish he has caught over the years. Some of the fish hanging around are ones he has actually caught in the past. read more

My family and I have been patrons of Lou's Subs since the 80's. There has never been an argument in my family on where we will eat when we all came back home for a visit. This place has yet to disappoint. Today's visit was superb as always. Everything is fresh and made to order. Listen people this not your average sub shop, seriously. I even tried the lobster soup, amazing and favorful. Good food and great service what else could you want for? read more

OMG I found a ROACH in my Italian Sub!!!!! Ewwww I'm so grossed out! I knew this place looked dirty but gave it a shot anyway and Surprise a roach is in it! I heard this place was pretty good for a sandwich but I'm yea I won't be returning! I'll take that with cheese please, hold the bugs!! Yuk vomit, if I think about it even the employees seem to have bad hygiene very hardcore appearance not very friendly. I can deal with that but hair or bugs in my food!NO WAY! read more

Had been eyeing this place for a while and finally made the trek with a co-worker. Very glad I did. Very small divey place that's hard to spot but still pretty clean. Thankfully we arrived at a time that wasn't busy as there wasn't a long line or shortage of tables and gave us the opportunity to scan the menu a bit. I ended up going for a chicken salad sandwich with bacon. I was tempted to order a Monster but I'm honestly glad I didn't, because my sandwich was already overflowing with chicken salad. The salad had a lot of mayo too, which I like, and was just overall really good. I have yet to try La Spada's chicken salad sandwich, and am a little eager to compare the two. Finished it off with some sort of... brownie/cookie hybrid. Cookie base, fudge brownie on top drizzled with caramel. The cookie part was a little hard but it actually worked really well texture-wise with the gooey brownie part. Still would've preferred a chewier cookie but it was a great (gluttonous) way to finish the meal. When it comes to cold cuts I'd still slightly lean toward La Spada's, but this place has way more variety when it comes to their menu with their hot subs, so it gets a 5 as well. read more

Let me start out by saying this was my first visit and I will likely amend this review after I have had a chance to go again. I stopped into Lou's on my way home based on the generally good reviews and it's convenience to my home. The front of the house was clean, but smelled a bit of cleaning solution...perhaps they had just mopped, not sure. I ordered at the counter and the guys there were very pleasant. I got a whole steak, cheese and onions sub which as prepared quickly. I took the sandwich home, and while it was a pretty good sandwich, I did find it to be a bit lacking in content and seasoning for the nearly $12 price tag. I've had just as good or better elsewhere for less. Granted, Lou's appears to be known for their traditional subs, not their cheese steaks which is why I will definitely go back again and check out their cold sub offerings. The do have a 15% off Yelp coupon, so that is one plus. read more

I like to say first off on giving this place one star because I have to give a minimum of one star the front counter workers are very rude arrogant bossy and the managers even worse I found a hair in my tuna sandwich and there was a cockroach crawling across the floor while I sat there and ate I had a tuna sandwich it tastes it to me like they use some sort of different type of fish at wasn't tuna I'm kosher I hope I didn't eat something I wasn't supposed to it's in the bad dangerous neighborhood lots of homeless and prostitution and drug addicts and drug dealers I'll never be going back to Lou's Giant Subs again read more

I will preface my review with that I enjoy blackened chicken and usually will order it if I see it's available whether or not it's a traditional Cajun place. So this place was not really far from where I am today I could have picked it up but feeling not in the mood to drive out on my lunch break I ordered from Uber. Chose the blackened chicken on a roll and asked for lettuce, pickles, and onions (wanted honey mustard but didn't have it with my order which was ok because the sandwich had plenty of flavor). The chicken was good and they even added melted Swiss on it for me. The roll held up to everything on it and was pretty fresh. Included in my lunch was a small cup of potato salad. I at first was just going to ignore it and toss it thinking "oh it's not homemade, I can skip it." But I didn't and I'm glad, it was really really good. Southern style potato salad with a tang of vinegar and chopped egg, pickle, and pimento. Needless to say, I will be sad when I'm back working in Coral Springs. Lou's, please open another location in Coral Springs. read more

I always have the super sub I tried the turkey pesto press out was disgusting very disappointing! Take it off the menu...

If your in the Pompano Beach area, this the best place to get a great tasty sub and friendly staff as always.

This was my 3rd time at Lou's and I have to admit that my first 2 visits were relatively positive. I can't say that on this visit. I ordered my sandwich on my phone. When I showed up I instantly regretted it because the restaurant was full. If I hadn't already paid I would have turned around and left. There were several tables filled with people without masks and eating in this very small space. I got into a separate line for people who ordered through Uber, Postmates, etc. I tried to socially distance but people will just do what they want and came very close to me to get their sodas. Of course I wore my Kn-95 mask the whole time. I finally got my sandwich and quickly got out of there as fast as possible. When I got home I thought to myself, at least my cheesesteak sandwich will be as good as it was the last 2 times, it wasn't! For some reason they used garlic salt on/in my sandwich. I never asked for it and although I love garlic I've never wanted or expected it on my cheesesteak sandwich. I want to help restaurants, which according to the news are all suffering but not at the cost of my life! I think a small restaurant like this with limited space and no ventilation I could see should just stick to delivery and takeout. With thousands of people being infected and dying everyday there's just no justification for this situation. The addition of the garlic salt just pushed it over the edge for me. I wrote this review to give people a fair warning! read more

This is the second time im here. Both times ive ordered the steak & onion sub, the only downside of this sub is that is too hot to eat when they give it to me LOL other than that, is betweem this place and Hoagie Bear down in homestead!!! Fantastic sub! I'll be working in the area for the next 1-2 yrs and i will be coming here to get my cheat meal very often!!!! read more

Highly recommend this sub shop! read more

Best Philly Cheese Steak in Florida and since I am from Philly that is saying something. It's a small local place with great food!

Best subs in Pompano. The Super Italian 6" was a lot more food than I expected and stuffed to the brim. Bread was soft and sweet, made fresh for sure. Potato salad may be the best I've ever had. Will frequent from now on! read more
