Mr Submarine has become EXPENSIVE. I just paid $50 for 2 Cheesesteak combos. This has been in regular rotation for me for the past 15+ years. Love their Cheesesteaks and Gyros. However, $25 for a Cheesesteak combo at a "fast food" spot is just too much. The drink was small, no refills because inside is closed. I know everything has gotten more expensive but this seems over the top. read more

I moved to the area recently and am so excited that I found a go-to spot for a solid sub. The prices are super reasonable. I wish their hours were longer. They close at 6pm most nights and 8pm on the others so it's tough to run there for dinner, which is when I'm mostly likely to eat out. This location is drive thru only. We were pleasantly surprised by how fast the service was given it's a local spot and presumably made to order. read more

Visiting Richmond for the Half. Stopped by Mr. Submarine on W Broad St -- it's drive-thru only. I grabbed a Grilled Chicken Hot Sub with a house salad and ate at the outdoor tables since I was starving. The sub was decent and had a lot of chicken. Salad was simple (lettuce + olives), but fine. Overall, solid quick-service spot and it hits the job when you're hungry. Thanks. read more

Well I wasn't impressed. The inside was closed so I had to go through the drive thru even though the business hours say they closed at 6 and it was 5:30. It did look very clean inside from what I could see. The staff didn't even smile at the window just told me the price and sent me on my way. I got the steak and cheese and a turkey sub. Both were flavorless and the steak was so chopped up I thought it was brown rice. I'm really disappointed here. I was hoping to find a good sub shop. read more

Mr. Submarine blows the competition out of the water! These subs are "under"rated and need to float to the top of your list! This place has been around for decades, and I must admit, I tend to bypass Mr. Submarine because it's like a fixture on Broad street! But, the other day, my bro and I started craving a sub when we drove by, but it was a Sunday and they were closed! So the next day, my bro surprised me with a sub he had ordered from the drive thru! Wow! This was a huge Italian Cold cut sub, with double meat, and a tangy dressing! The hoagie roll was soft and fresh and didn't overpower the fixings!! Plenty of tomato, lettuce, cheese, and just enough onion to make this sandwich a winner! My next selection on the menu will be the Philly Cheese steak!! Inside the restaurant, there are places to sit, and there are a couple tables outside too! The food came out super fast, in minutes, and the price was right! Take a break from those other chain sub shops, and treat yourself to one of these yummy "grinders"! They are sub-perb!!! read more

Who says that they close at 6p but lock the doors at 5p?? Some people work to 5p and can't get there traveling through Richmond!!

Currently drive through only Service was relatively quick Size of subs is good and the cold cuts were great but the cheesesteak was awful. Steak and cheese sub tasted like overcooked steak-ums and was chopped up really tiny. Had almost no cheese and very little flavor. Would not order this again. However my experience was redeemed by the club sub. The bread was nice and toasted and the cold cuts tasted fresh. I just wished they had pickles to put on it. TL;DR- cold cuts good. Steak and cheese bad. read more

I haven't been here in YEARS and decided to revisit when driving past recently. I got a steak and cheese for myself and a spaghetti with meatballs for my mom. The steak and cheese came heavy with the oregano. I didn't know I had to ask for lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. It definitely would've improved it. It was kinda dry otherwise. My mom enjoyed her spaghetti, but said it wasn't something she'd want often. Great prices. Large portions. Drive through carryout. Decent for what it is. read more

I only drove by this place 500 times before deciding to check it out. While the facade is inconspicuous, their reputation is strong. I kept hearing about them online, so finally last week I joined the drive-thru line. I ordered the Italian and the steak and cheese, both of which without tomatoes. Service was prompt and friendly, and the hoagies, erm, "subs," were in perfect condition upon arriving home five minutes later. I figured I'd eat one half per meal, to have enough for two days. That did not happen. The steak and cheese was inhaled -- truly one of the best cheesesteaks I've had since moving down from the Philly area five years ago -- and the Italian was tasty, too. That one could've done with a tad more meat, but I still enjoyed it. They have limited hours, or else I already would've returned by now. It's definitely a severe craving, so I'm sure round two is coming soon. Glad to finally be acquainted with this classic spot! read more

Terrific sandwichs great prices friendly staff. I support local businesses please support these nice people.

My husband and I drove over 30 miles to go to Mr. Submarine on Broad Street. The people that work there are so sweet and the Subs were better than any other sub place around. Then it happened, the prices went up and the amount of meat on the subs went down. We are so disappointed, loved this place but we will not be going back. read more

Best subs in the Richmond area. I usually get the steak and cheese. It's a big sandwich. Very filling.

This is one of those places that you would never even think about going to from the outside. But don't let that fool you. The food comes quick, and is delicious. The staff are very kind and upbeat. My go-to is the bbq chicken panini. read more

Good and speedy service. Fries are top tier and served fresh. I always get the steak and cheese. Has a good flavor but the crumbly steak can be hard to handle sometimes. It falls everywhere. Also, the cheese ratio to all the steak is not good, even when I get extra cheese I have a hard time finding it. But all in all...a good place to go when you want a steak and cheese and don't feel like getting out of car. read more

It is now fair to say that I've become a regular at Mr. Submarine on West Broad. Huge and delicious subs made to order. Drive thru only but I don't think this is the type of place I would dine in. Even though the line of cars during lunchtime is long, the line moves fast and the lady that takes the orders is friendly and accurate. It's like a well-oiled machine over there. I think for the size of the subs you get, coupled with the quality of ingredients, it's an excellent deal. My subs usually I can make into two meals. And their gyros are delicious and stuffed to the max with meat. All of their subs are. Cannot really go wrong with whatever you get here. Super yummy and highly recommended! read more

Convenient and delicious! I'll definitely be back for another cheese steak sub very soon.

Go to lunch spot for great subs. There's a little wait but totally worth it. Didn't get our drive thru server name but she was so nice and a great conversationalist. We bonded over being in the service industry and she was a positive reflection of my day. Love how consistent the food is. No surprises. I know exactly what I'm going to get every time. A Richmond staple! read more

Good no frills food old school subs excellent fries. Worth the wait. I even like that they're drive through only.

Been eating here since the location on JD in the 80s, all through college when they were on VCU campus to pulling up soon as Inland in RVA. Sadly, today was my last day. Landed in RVA got the rental and called in my order. I got to the location line wrapped, I tried to go in they dont do that anymore. I told the young lady who opened the door the food would be cold because aint no way to keep it warm the time it would take to get through the drive thru line. She insisted it wouldn't got the food not only was the food cold so were the fries they use to drop once you ordered. read more

Old school drive thru sub place. Fresh bread, generous fillings. Got the cheese sub with soda and fries combo. Nice, large order of pipping hot fries. Lots of options in the menu, friendly staff. read more

I've been driving by Mr Submarine for years and always tell myself so need to hit this place up. For weeks now I've been hankering for a sub so today I finally decided to hit it up. Even though the drive thru line was probably 10 deep, it moved pretty quickly and gave me a great chance to call my mom! I ordered the Italian Cold Cut combo and added sweet pepper. The order was lightening fast! As others have mentioned, the bread is yummy but it did get soggy really quickly. So much so that, I ended up tossing half the sandwich. But rest assured I was plenty full cause these subs are GIANT. Like as big as my forearm. Them some thicc subs! And pretty darn tasty too. Was this the best sub ever, no. But like $9 for a combo it's a good deal! read more

Great. Subs great price been around long long time. Yummy. Best sum around tye richmond area

This is a hidden gem in Scott's Addition. Better than Subway, Jimmy John's by far. And you can't teach that! read more

In my opinion, these are the best subs in Richmond. Even though this location does not offer a dine-in area, I prefer the sandwiches themselves over the ones at the Route 1 location. The chicken, beef, and gyro mear are all sliced super thin and grilled to perfection. The only downside is that they don't always hold up to a 30 minute drive home. With that said, they are still pretty darn good. read more

So someone in one of my foodie groups posted a pic of a Mr. Submarine steak and cheese and it bought back sooo many good college memories as when I attended VCU there was one right across from where Chipotle is now on West Grace St. For nostalgia's sake, lol I took a ride down Broad and to get my fix. The inside was closed due to Covid so i roll around the drive thru. I ordered just the steak and cheese and my bro got the combo. Now the fries taste just like they did all those years ago. Hot, crispy and salty! You never need ketchup with their fries soooo good! Because I had a little travel time to get home I opted to not get the lettuce or tomatoes (nothing worse than a soggy sub to me). Got home it was still warm, added some Mayo and ketchup as that's how I like it and it was just ok the bread was fresh but maybe the meat was over cooked or precooked but the seasoning was familiar but as a whole it was just ok. It still was worth the memories of that great family who owned that VCU location and all the good food we had there. Maybe another day I'll try it again. read more

Mr Submarine - Steak And Cheese now lettuce or tomatoes - Salad Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This is the Rip Van Winkle of sub shops. A relic from the past that may be questioned for its typographical choices but not for its dedication to the art of the sandwich. You'll never go back to chain store atrocities like Subway or Jimmy John's. read more

Ordered the Steak and Cheese with extra cheese. Added lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo to it. BEST Steak and Cheese in Richmond!!! I will go back there tonight for dinner read more

Love this place. The Italian Hoagie is one of the best that I have had. The roll is light and crispy but holds everything well. So delicious. I also love to get the Lamb Gyros here which is sliced of the rotating thingamajiggy. read more

Worst steak and cheese I've ever had in my entire life. The steak had been chopped literally until it was dust and hardly any of it even made it to the bun. Sandwich was dry and I don't even think it even had any cheese on it. Once again one of the worst sandwich's I've tried to eat in my 51 years. Do not recommend. read more

Extremely underrated for what it is, possibly the best subs in RVA. The fries and baklavas are also excellent. I think if this place ever went out of business I would never eat another sub again, I've tried getting them from other places and it just isn't the same. read more

I assume the place is understaffed because only the drive thru was open. The process for taking orders was awful. Cars were backed up into the road because they didn't take orders until the next person was served and thus it took longer to even start cooking anyone's meal. Staff were really nice and the food was tasty which is why I gave it 3 stars. I hope y'all can find more staff. If you're fully staffed, send me a message and we can work on improving your process, there are some obvious opportunities. read more

This place just doesn't look like it would make good food. Kinda grimy. Was gonna get something but got turned off by the location's aesthetic. Maybe the food is good, I'll never know. read more

Absolute best little hole in the wall. Also so convenient that they have a drive thru!!

Man, if you haven't ever been here you are missing out!! Fastest drive through, always friendly and kind. Have loved everything we have ordered! Don't sleep on Mr. Submarine!! read more

I have been a fan of Mr. Submarine for years. I worked close to Hull Street location many years ago and was heartbroken when they closed. I moved out of state and returned to fall in love with the Broad street location all over again. No where else has these addictive wings! Service is always polite and quick. read more

The bread is perfect. Shaved onions on heated roast beef! Peanut oil fries always crispy. Best sub shop in Richmond!

If you're driving down Broad St and see a business with a name like Mr. Submarine, it's hard not to stop. Any place that would feel so confident about their sandwiches to call themselves Mr. Submarine must be good. Right? Yesssss! I usually order the Super Sub because it's a great mix of classic sub ingredients, is huge and just leaves me feeling good. They have a wide variety of other hot and cold sandwiches and also have some non-sandwich options, though I've always eaten the subs. This location has a drive-thru, which drops you right back onto Broad St. to continue on your way. It's a classic place that's been here for at least a generation and seems to always have a line. Good sign. read more

We keep trying to come to this location, but unfortunately, even when open, only cold subs are served prior to closing. Closing time seems to range from 5-8. This used to be our favorite steak and cheese place, but the drive there coupled with unpredictable hours makes this a hard sell. read more

Family type business that I like to support. The toasted Italian is my favorite. Both beef and chicken cheese steak are tasty. Onion rings are awesome. You'll see a big line of cars at lunch but it moves fast. Serving size for the money is a great value. read more

I love the place. Inexpensive and fast. Drive thru rocks. Owner is very nice and works there most of the time.
