Wow! Great subs on freshly baked rolls and lots of fresh local ingredients. I had a spicy Italian sub, and my wife had a turkey and cheese sub. Both were some of the best we've had in Asheville. The menu gives you lots of choices--we can't wait to go back and try more. read more

This hit the spot for some hungry traveling boys. The bread was fresh and soft. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The sandwiches were stacked with veggies and cheese. The littles enjoyed steak and cheese. We loved the side of pickles, potato salad and chocolate chip cookie options. We enjoyed every morsel during our visit. The staff and ambience were friendly, welcoming and made the visit personal. Highly recommended! read more

The interior is nothing to write home about but dang do they make a good sandwich. I had the 6" BLT loaded with warm bacon, lettuce, tomato, & mayo. They have a nice chip selection as well. My husband had the 6" Roast Beef and Au Ju. Lots of medical professionals were picking up take-out while we were there. Nicest employees too..actually seem happy to be there and make a delicious sandwich! read more

Let me start by saying I used to work in a bakery sandwich shop. This place is excellent! The bread is made in house and so fresh! The ingredients are good quality and all appeared fresh too.

Genuinely enjoyed the experience and food! read more

This is my go-to spot for sandwiches in Asheville. The sandwiches themselves are creative and tasty. The prices are reasonable (in this economy). The service is fast, the people are nice, and the open kitchen aesthetic is charming! read more

This place is full of nostalgia and quality. I have been to the Black Mountain one before. Only just learned that they actually have separate ownership but there's a lot mirrored in their menus. I like this one has great parking and is in a very convenient location. Nice little walkway up to the sub shop. Upon entering one day for early dinner, I was greeted by the friendly staff. They are super kind and informative about the menu. I had called ahead to place the order and it was ready a little bit early which was nice. I always get the veggie sub because of the house made hummus. It feels healthy and filling but not to dense. Definitely fresh. I've had lots of friends try their other subs and find them great as well. Just as a tip, sometimes they are on Asheville deal for half off. read more

I've picked up subs from here twice now and both times they did not disappoint. The bread is great and the selection of sandwiches is extensive. I highly recommend Old School Subs if you are on that side of town and craving a good sub, fast service and some fun pinball action. read more

This place has it all! Comfortable small town vibe that seems well maintained and clean. We got 2 subs (the old school and the turkey avocado) that were super fresh, balanced, and interesting without doing too much. The potato salad and the drink selection are also great! read more

Pretty typical sub shop, my chicken Philly was ready fast and was very good! The potato salad was also tasty

Nice little shop right on the road, with super friendly staff and a laid-back small sandwich shop atmosphere. I had the turkey Philly sub, which tasted excellent, and had a little to it. My significant other had a special, the Sriracha beef sub. We'll have to go back again. The bread tasted like it was made in house, and all the ingredients were nice and fresh. read more

Old School Subs - Italian Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Open Monday for a late lunch. During covid times. Parking is limited. Park right off the street or try and get up by the paint store. One little outside table or social distance inside. Everyone behind the counter was in gloves and masks. We wandered up and got a kind greeting from the lady behind the counter. I was struggling to decide and asked her what she had made last for herself. She started to describe the turkey with avocado but then said there was hummus and cucumber. I said I'd take it. She was so pleased I wanted her "Stacey special ". Hubby got the "OLD SCHOOL" sandwich. This thing was a monster! We picked out drinks and chips. A couple fun brands we had never tried. Delicious. Everything. We got extra pickles with our sandwiches and enjoyed every bite. The overall feeling inside was upbeat and busy. They were filling pickup orders even as we and one other family sat inside. It's limited seating so to go is a perfect option, and I would recommend. read more

After visiting the Folk Art Center, I had a craving for a good egg salad for lunch, and boy am I glad I discovered Old School Subs and Salads!! My husband and I both got the egg salad sub, but I added cheese and tomato to mine. It was DIVINE. Exactly what I hoped for, and was afraid I wouldn't get. The bread was toasted but not burnt, and the bread still maintained it's fresh and soft texture. I also requested their house made pickles on the side, and again, WOW. So glad I didn't skip them! They are different than other shops pickles, and taste something like if a bread and butter pickle and sweet gherkin pickle had a baby. It was very good, and even my husband who does not like pickles had some and said he really liked them!! Overall, the quality of all of the ingredients was amazing!! Also, it's super important to note that the staff was very friendly- all three employees checked in on us while we were there to ensure we liked our food and to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend this spot for your next lunch visit if you're in the area! read more

Old School Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Looking for a lunch spot while visiting Asheville. This place was amazing! The subs were great, my favorite was the Veggie Pressie. Most of the restaurants in Asheville are overrated. This place delivers quality with great service. We ate there two times while in town for three days. We'll definitely be back when we are in town next November. read more

Super friendly folks, this place does it right and is the type of local business that folks should treasure and support. Stopped in after warning a big nasty sun after a hike with the family, and the Italian we had and the very basic sun my kids had were all crowd-pleasers. My wife and I love a great Italian sub, and that was delivered in spades. Don't sleep on the homemade cookies either or you're cheating yourself. read more

Every sandwich I ever get from here is delicious. My personal favorites are the classic Steak & Cheese, Chicken Bacon Ranch, and the chicken parm. The cookies are also a solid choice as your side. read more

Small hole in the wall place in same building as Sherwin Williams paint store on Sweeten Creek Road. Wife and I made a point to once a week eat at a different sub place to see which one we liked best. Without hesitation we both liked Old School the best. They use Thumann's meats in all their subs and the flavor is soo much better than any other. May be the most expensive but a large sub feeds us aplenty. Staff is friendly and always asks us if food is OK. Always is! We now eat lunch here about once a week and savor the Old School Special. ron read more

Part of me wants to give a bad review so no one finds this spot, but hot dayumn they got bomb subs. Not even going to post a pic. Got the Rachel 6" with potato salad side. All was proper and delish. Happy to find a new gem. read more

Found this in modest strip building next to paint store. Very clean and staff working hard behind counter. Good selection and food came promptly and was good. Only minor comment was soft drinks only in cans from cooler. No Ice. No cups. Decent place for a sub shop read more

Literally the best sub you can get in Asheville. Beats all sub chain restaurants by miles

AMAZING SANDWICHES! Truly, so good. Service is a bit gruff, prices are high (for a sandwich), and hours are limited and very inconvenient. But all that aside, if your timing, patience, and wallet all line up - definitely worth a visit! read more

I've found *the* sub shop in Asheville! You can tell they make their subs with not only fine fresh ingredients, but also with care and love. Way better than those chains like F***house Subs or J*****y Mikes. Can't wait to try the whole menu now that I know this is the joint. read more

Our first time trying Old School Subs & Salads was a game-changer. No other sub places need apply. By far the best sub sandwich I've had in a long time and I'm now committed to trying everything on their menu. What a great experience to walk into a new (to us) shop and be greeted with a friendly welcome! Every member of the crew was friendly and conversational. Made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is very casual and comfortable with a fun mural on the wall and a good amount of indoor seating. Looks like additional outdoor seating is also available on warm days. Old School Subs is now our go-to place in Asheville for sandwiches hot and cold. read more

The sandwiches are incredibly yummy and fresh. They make their own bread, roast beef, potato salad, and coleslaw. I am not a potato salad fan, but I love it! The employees are incredibly friendly. If you just want to an good old sub this is the place to be. read more
