We are in from out of town and were looking for something local and this was a great choice! Deli meat is sliced to order and sliced super thin. Just delicious! Would definitely recommend! read more

Obee's Sub Shop - Ham - Cheese sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Venice, Florida

Go to subway. So so sub not real clean not a lot of meat store front depressing . You want me to say more could Be the worst sub shop I have been. No comparison to fire house subs or Chicago beef even metro diner. Oops Englewood shop only! Maybe venice is better. Usually chains are all the same! read more

Obee's is far and away one of the best sandwich spots in the area. It's locally owned, their menu has a pretty wide variety of subs and soups at really reasonable prices. Meats and cheese are deli sliced fresh when you order your sandwich and the fresh bread is quality too, holds up and doesn't get too soggy when you load up on veggies and sauces. Definitely a perfect spot for a quick meal or to stop and grab on the way to the beach. Appreciate you guys! read more

Love the subs and love the soup... we are from Columbus and make it a must at least once while we're in Florida... great specials and there bread is to die for!!!! read more

Someone recommended this place to us and we are now addicted! Best subs in Venice! They slice the meat and cheese when you order and the bread is always nice and fresh! Service is always friendly. Wish they were open Sundays though! It's always a great lunch at Obee's! read more

Nice local sub shop. Pleasant atmosphere with plenty of seating. We split a Gutbuster- ham, turkey & roast beef with provolone cheese. Fresh hand sliced deli meat in front of you. The topping were fresh and the sandwich was delicious. We also had minestrone and cheddar broccoli soup, both tasted great. Would recommend and will return. read more

Obee's Sub Shop - a person preparing food - Sandwiches Near Me - Venice, Florida

See all

Went to Obees recently when I was vacationing in Venice, and wow! They made some great sandwiches. Love how they cut the meat for each order. As a previous poster said, this is MUCH better quality than Subway. We tried several versions of their Italian sub, plus one tuna sub, and two bowls of soup (french onion and broccoli cheese). The sandwiches were all to our liking. The French onion soup was also good. However, the broccoli cheese was pretty bland and flavorless (oh well, can't win 'em all). On the whole, though, it's a great place, and they will make substitutions for meats you don't like (I swapped cappicola for pepperoni, no problem). Nice customer service. I will be back! read more

They offer 8" and 16" inch subs. I had the 8" Turkey and cheese. The bread was soft (a plus in my book) and the toppings were great. My two companions split a 16" Cheesesteak and claimed that it was great. The service is friendly and the fountain drinks are only $1. read more

I didn't think I would ever like a sub more than Publix, but this place is my all time favorite! The prices are more than reasonable and the service was so friendly! read more

I am new to the area and had the best sub sandwich ever! Fresh bread and freshly sliced deli meats and cheeses. The soup was great too! Obee's will definitely be on "to go to" list! read more

This is the most awesome sub shop in Sarasota County! The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the meat, cheese and veggies ate very very good. They don't have foot-long subs, they have 16 inch long Subs and the bread is phenomenal. This place is family owned and operated and is so much better than all the other sandwich chain shops around town. read more

This place (dare I say it) makes a better sub than Publix. I've been going here for about 15 years and the quality has always been top notch and consistent. I get the spicy bird, 16 inches for less then $8. Can't beat that. And the staff is always super friendly. Come here for lunch. You won't regret it. read more

Great food but quest were not social distancing. We will wait until Covid is over to go again.

We were looking for a quick lunch in Venice and found this gem. If you took a northern sub shop and brought it to Florida, you'd have Obee's. We ordered a combination of ham and Italian subs and they were all fantastic. Great sandwiches and it's no wonder they stay busy! read more

Not impressed. I'm actually surprised by the outstanding reviews. My husband picked up the subs for me and my kids. My husband did not get food for himself. He said he was turned off by the place and the service. My turkey sub was fresh it just wasn't very tasty. My kids ended up with a bunch of toppings like jalapeños and pickles that they didn't ask for. We won't be back. read more

The subs are awesome. The service is awesome. The broccoli and cheese soup is awesome. The other soups need work. read more

This is by far the best sub shop in Venice , the staff is great , and the subs are excellent ! Have the spicy bird , it's great . Nice flavor profile and always hand sliced , fresh bread , and reasonable prices read more

We were just visiting in Venice and stopped by this place for a sandwich. I was pleased with the service. The gals behind the counter were attentive and moving quickly. My sandwich was delicious! My husband also enjoyed his sandwich. This place reminds me of a ma and pa type of place, a homey welcoming feeling that you don't get at the chain sandwich places. I would definitely recommend this sandwich place! read more

Awesome food! Went there last night on a whim and ordered, not realizing they were closing in 10 minutes. The staff members assured me it was fine and quickly made me the best Italian sub ever. They sliced the meat fresh right there and you could tell the bread was freshly made, too. One girl was new and was very pleasant, and everyone working was nice, even though I came so late. Looking forward to trying more of their menu when I'm back in town! read more

By far the best cold subs in town. They slice the meat and cheese to order and put plenty on the sandwich. One large sub is enough for two to four people. If you go to Subway instead, you're out of your mind. read more

Love this place!! I get sandwiches & soups here a lot & am always very happy with the food. Be prepared though if there's a few people or more in line though cause it doesn't move very fast. Last visit tried turning my sub into a salad...glad I did!! Huge salad & toppings plus your meat choice for a great price read more

So delicious!!! The Obee's on the island is close to the high school and was definitely the place to go for lunch. Amazing subs and salads!

Ive been to this sub shop about 3-4 times in the last 2 years. They have pretty good subs. I always get the Spicy Bird. The bread is soft and fresh and they slice the meat fresh to order. The prices are reasonable and what you'd expect. Pretty tasty sandwiches. HOWEVER.... The staff are unfriendly and cold. They are efficient, but non-friendly. Everytime Ive been in to eat, the youngish, brunette girl never smiles or asks "how are you?" Shes ALL BUSINESS. Basically, none of the staff seem to have any inkling of basic customer service. The big, muscle bound kid (too much time at the gym) with dark beard said nothing when I thanked him for making the sandwich and cashing me out---Not a "your welcome" or "enjoy" or anything. This is customer service 101 and theyre too cool for school. When we went to leave, I again said "thank you" and AGAIN, cold silence from "Lou Ferrigno". Odd. **He either knows the owner or was singing a friendlier tune when he got hired. Also, theres a strange, unpleasant odor inside Obees....a musty, mildewy odor. It was better this time than in times past, so they're working on it. Bottom line: neither the odor nor the lame service will stop me from going to Obees because their subs are good. read more

Pretty good little sandwich shop. Everything seems fresh enough, and it's made to order in front of you. The bread was soft and the portion sizes were about average. The only negative was the fact that the staff was so severe and unfriendly that my grandmother actually scolded them and told them all to smile. lol read more

Fresh, soft bread. Fresh meat. Good price. A great place to get a quick bite. I split a 16" sub which was more than enough for two people.

Whenever I visit Venice, I make a point to get an Obee's sub. Their meats are cut fresh when you order. The subs are 8" and 16", which seem to be better sizes than 6" and 12". The staff is always friendly. read more

I loooove Obees. They are a part of this town. Best place (besides corporate Publix) to get subs and more!!

Amazing food great prices great location if your on the way to work quick friendly costomer sevice and overall just a good place to eat

We are from southwestern part of Illinois,Waterloo. There was a Obee's there that was awesome and so is this one! Same franchise same good bread and meat! read more

This was a great sub shop I didn't care for the seating there wasn't a lot and I felt rushed to eat so I could let the next person sit down. But the subs and soup were amazing I love the fresh bread and veggies. The seating was the o my reason I gave them a 4 star because I think it could be improved upon. read more

There's nothin' fancy about this family run sub shop, just great food. They do subs, soup and salad. I can't speak to the soup and salad, but if they come close to the quality of their subs, it's a home run. They offer 19 different subs (two are hot) on white or wheat bread. The 16" sub could easily be shared by two people. read more

Best sandwich shop in Venice without a doubt. Plenty of meat cheese and veggies. Bread great too. Awesome!!

Small time Subway. Sterile environment. No reason to back.

Best sandwiches my husband and I have ever eaten! We both had the spicy Italian and spicy bird!! Ohm nom nom!!

Liked the Italian sub. Tasty fillings, huge size. All good except the Male counter help that had an attitude about making the sandwich. I actually asked if there was a problem since I changed the size of the sandwich before made it. Foods great , staff isnt friendly. read more

Best subs in Venice. Meats & Cheese are cut fresh to order. Delicious, fast, and friendly!!

Just had an Italian (sandwich), bread is fresh and the meats and cheeses are the best. Must say if only for the sandwiches I'd be a regular. But throw in the fact that the staff there makes you feel like family and I'm sold, customer for life here. Don't know all the names but the one who made mine was David I think. Great place great food better people. read more

Who doesn't like a good fresh cut sub? They use very fresh bread, veggies, meat and toppings. You can taste the quality over a fast food sandwich. They sell salads and soup also and it's all good!! If you're wanting a good fresh sand which go to obees!!! You won't be disappointed at all! read more

Amazing hoagies. They cut the meat and cheese to order. Spicy Italian was the best I've ever had.

Delicious! My husband and I love Italian subs. We are in town visiting from Seattle and came here based on the reviews. This place is awesome! Order the #3 on white (their bread is super fresh)- you won't be disappointed! It is simply the best! read more
