Original Sub Shop & Deli - Happy Goat Sub - Soup Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

I love this place! I go here every time I don't pack my lunch. I am so happy they have vegan options. I love the service they're always quick & sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are cozy and cute but I never eat inside cause it feels a little too cramped sometimes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

I've had food from here quite a few times that my man has brought home but this was my first visit inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very old school rustic look.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not sure that I would eat here but that's because I love stuff being shiny and new. No delivery that I could find and a gravel parking lot on the side of the building. You can try to park along the street but the traffic is pretty steady and people aren't very nice about giving you time to find street parking. Now the folks are really nice and everyone greets you as you come in the door. The subs are the winner of the show here. And 12 bucks for a footlong in today's world is a pretty good deal. Great meat to bread ratio and I'm not a big fan of vegetables so pretty much all I get is the meat and bread. They have their own sauce which is called awesome sauce. I'm not quite sure what it is but I can see it making the bread a little soggy without the veggies so I got it on the side. In this way I'm kind of old school and I just prefer mayonnaise so I went home and put some good old hellmans on the sandwich and I was good to go. The meats are all quality. I got the Italian with provolone. I wish they were open a little bit later but only open till 2:00 so got to come for lunch. Recommended if you're in the area read more

Original Sub Shop & Deli - Black Beef sandwich and pickled potato kettle chips. Loaded with flavor! - Soup Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

The happy goat made me more than happy! I have lived in Toledo for 15 years and I can't believe this is the first time I've been into The Original Sub Shop & Deli. ! The food really is spectacular. It's not "just another sub shop". It really is something special. They pack a lot of flavor inside of their fresh house-made bread. All the ingredients are high quality with well thought out perfectly crafted flavors. I was pleasantly surprised by their beer selection. We tried a little of everything. Even the soup was great, and I'm not really a soup kind of gal. The staff were extremely friendly and did a great job of making suggestions. My next trip will definitely include the angry goat. I'm excited to make my way through their menu. Don't sleep on the cookies either, definitely worth the splurge. read more

The best sandwiches in town, amazing service, art by local artists, chill vibes. Nothing not to love here. I HIGHLY recommend the Black Beef sub. read more

Let me tell y'all about the best sub shop I've ever been to... About a year ago I tasted the best soup I've ever had. Ginger, mushroom, brothy deliciousness. So today I called them up because I was craving it, but I couldn't find it on the menu. I spoke with Maureen, the owner, and told her about how the soup truly had resuscitated me last year when I had a double sinus infection. She asked for my name and phone number and promised me she would make it for me next week and call me so she could set aside a giant bowl for me! Then, she told me to come into the sub shop that day and she would whip me up a huge grilled cheese and some amazing soup to hold me over in the meantime. Let me tell you, this was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. The ambiance, customer service, and human decency the owner showed me made my entire month. I will be back again, and again, and again. read more

The food is delicious. The service was great. The details inside and outside the shop are creative and original. The plants in the window and the character of the building are wonderful.

The OG Sub Shop is easily one of my favorite eateries in Toledo. Not only is it the oldest sub shop in town (40 years strong) it's one of very few non-chain restaurants that specializes in the delight of oblong sandwiches. Owner Maureen Brogan is a wonderful person and her staff are always friendly and exciting. The vibe is wonderful, a cool old building filled with local art, literature and books to borrow, and really great smells. The food is wonderful, all high quality deli meats, fresh vegetables, and homemade soups daily, among other items. All subs are served on All Crumbs Bakery artisan bread (best bakery in town), which makes all the difference. The GOATS menu is the signature of the shop in its latest iteration. These are fun, inventive experiments that are all rousing successes! And there's the old school menu, the Originals, that honor the sammies that kept the place humming for 30+ years under the stewardship of the original owners. These are a few of my favorite things: Angry Goat - goat cheese, jam, pastrami and hot sauce? Yes please! Beef & Basil - just as it says, savory sliced roast beef balanced with fresh pesto The Original - this is really the perfect sandwich, stacked with salami, ham, and bologna and sliced provolone, piled with crispy iceberg lettuce, it reminds me of childhood. It's simple and taste the way a Midwest summer birthday party picnic feels. Pro tip: add roasted red pepper and banana peppers Italian / Deli Sub - slightly different take on these old standards and they are great Clumsy Goat - Hands down the best veggie sub you can get in town Tuna Salad Salad - This unique curried chicken salad is a Sub Shop staple. You gotta try a scoop! Fun Fact: you can make any sub on the menu a salad Macaroni Salad - arguably my favorite macaroni salad anywhere (don't tell my mom!), it's so filled with black pepper Chili / any soup - the chili recipe has been on the menu for many years and it delivers every time. Each day/week the the menu changes (roasted red pepper, cream of mushroom, There's also a full case of fun sodas, root beers and other treat and be sure to check out the fine selection of potato chips. Stop in, grab an order, and enjoy the vibe. It's a nice little space and it'll refresh your day. You'll definitely want to come back. read more

Not sure what I did wrong the last time I wrote a wonderful review but only hit one star!! Yikes!! So I am fixing it today!! I stand by my first review the food was delicious!! The owner delightful!! And all around great experience!! Have been back and will definitely go again.... read more

I had heard about this place for some time but never had the opportunity to stop by and try the food. So recently a friend was headed there for lunch and offered to pick us up something. I decided on the Angry Goat as the description had sounded pretty good. That Angry Goat stood no chance against a hungry stomach as it was devoured in no time at all. From the first bite on, I loved what I was tasting! The combination of ingredients seemed odd to me at first. But all the flavors came together beautifully! I ended up ordering more food the following day. While I ended up getting the same sandwich as before, I also ordered a Reuben. Another awesome sandwich! I can't wait to order more and start trying the soups! Give this place a try! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Little sub shop that makes its own bread and has signature sauce and house made specialty subs. And priced no more than your average sub shop but miles above in quality ingredients. So glad we tried it! read more

The Original foot long is still a very good product, and seems, for the most part, unchanged. If the bun has changed, it's very similar to the previous bun; that is to say, it's very good. I noticed many cool items on the menu (and on the Facebook page) that I don't remember seeing during the "David Era." I can't wait to try some of the soups. The service is still about the same; the new owner and new staff seem competent and friendly. But I must say this: I couldn't help but notice the 60 percent markup on The Original (was 5 bucks, now 8 bucks). Now, I'm not feeling particularly cheated, but a 60% price increase is strikingly noticeable. (Overall, however, the new prices are pretty much in line with other sub shops in the area. And, BTW, I understand that the prices were flat for a long time, I understand the concept of inflation, etc, etc). Although The Original Sub Shop & Deli isn't the awesome deal that it was, in the end, I've been coming here for about 25 years, and I have no plans to stop. 4 stars! read more

Original Sub Shop & Deli - Like Wheat Beer, you need to upend the bottle before drinking D&B; it tastes like a mixture of ginger ale and root beer. - Soup Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

It just keeps getting better! With their newly updated menu you can chose from the classic sandwiches that have been on the menu for 30+ years but now you can also pick from a variety of modern additions. Wonderful and unexpected flavor combinations followed up with insanely fresh soups and delicious beverages. They always have a special panini on the menu and that has been my go-to for months. Today for example it was grilled bologna, swiss, grilled onions and honey mustard with crushed potato chips. Yes, that's right, grilled bologna with potato chips. If you're dining with a friend I suggest sharing a panini (no matter the variety), an order of the insanely perfectly fresh hummus and a greek salad. Glorious. The OG Sub Shop is serving up downtown Toledo's best lunch by some great Toledoans. If you're a downtown regular you'll probably bump into some friends while you're there. Seriously I'm in love. read more

Outstanding sandwiches! Must stop next time through Toledo. Friendly staff. Awesome vibe.

Good sandwiches and great service make up for a weird location. There's nothing around the Original Sub Shop. It's some kind of industrial wasteland. I don't know how they ended up here. The inside is nicely old school and they've done a lot to dress it up. But you do have to drive out of your way to come here. It's worth it if you want interesting sandwiches. I had the Beef and Basil. Roast beef with a pesto sauce, provolone, and roasted red peppers. It is a deep and interesting sandwich. That's the catch to this place: They're trying to create sandwiches that make you take notice. This is not homogenized sandwiches that please everyone. They make sandwiches that some people hate. The best advice is if it sounds like you'd hate it, you will. Be adventurous, though. Take a risk! My wife was pregnant. When the person behind the counter heard that, she insisted on grilling the meat until it reached a temperature safe for pregnant women. Without me asking. That is terrific service. I wish I were in the area more often because I would eat here more often. read more

Original Sub Shop & Deli - The plants look so inviting on a day when Winter refuses to die. - Soup Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

A little over priced. Very slow service. I had heard some good things, but disappointed overall.

I really wanted to like this place based on the yelp reviews but it was really disappointing. My husband and I both got the Angry Goat. The meat to bread/topping ratio was way off. There was one thin layer of pastrami on the sandwich. At some point I couldn't even tell if there was pastrami on there with all the lettuce and sauce (mostly goat cheese spread and jam). I think they forgot to put the habanero sauce because I didn't taste any spice to it which was needed to cut the sweetness of the jam. I didn't think the sandwich was bad. The flavors were good but the lack of meat really put me off. The sandwich was $8 which is cheap for Washington DC standards but out in Ohio $8 seems to be appropriate but you would at least expect a hearty sandwich. read more

Original Sub Shop & Deli - Don't be fooled by that end piece of pastrami. The meat to bread/topping was way off. - Soup Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Everything a quirky, independently-owned sun shop should be with a cute and spacious interior. We ordered the Italian sub. We were shocked when we tasted it. It had next to no flavor. How can that be with Turkey, ham and salami and some sauce? Very weird. I am suspect of food if it lacks flavor because I worry the meat is old. Won't go back :( read more

Next to The Publican in Chicago and Best China in Canton, MI (MaPo Tofu noodle soup soooooo good), this is my favorite place to shove food in my face. The best sandwiches I've ever had. We drive 50 miles just to come here. read more

This is one of the best lunch spots in Toledo. Everything we have tried has been amazing. They use quality wholesome ingredients and sandwiches are made to order. The staff is exceptional and very friendly. My only wish is that they stayed open later: read more

Friendly efficient staff, super tasty food. Spotless casual space with funky art on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. Loved the curry chicken salad. Curry had just the right spice for me. Everything seems homemade including dressing. Ate here 3 days in a row while working in Toledo, even though I was tempted to try a Green Lantern burger (greasy spoon kind of place) across the street. They do not skimp on portion size. I'll be back! read more

Has a cool vibe for stopping for a quick sandwich over lunch. Had the angry goat but all the sandwiches look great!

Have been going here regularly for over a year now and the food is always good! The sandwiches on the menu have never disappointed us and their panini's of the week, despite sometimes having a wild arrangement of ingredients, are super delicious and worth the try. They also support other local businesses as well within their shop. The employees and owner are super sweet people who recognize their regulars. read more

Some of the best sandwiches around! My favorite sub is the happy goat with turkey, seasonal jam, chèvre and grilled onions. They have a little bit of everything- classic subs, paninis, reubens, salads, soup, and so on. Vegetarian options are available. Check out their website or Facebook for more information and daily specials. read more

I was tired of eating at the same sandwich places and came across this bad boy. Sandwiches were bomb and the vibes were cool. Felt like u were in someone's apartment. The food and sandwiches and that bread read more

Great little mom and pop sub shop near downtown. The building Original Sub is located in is a classic! It looks like a remnant of 19th century Toledo. As someone else said, the bread here is made fresh, or it's brought in from some place local. Portions could be a little bigger, but for the price - around five bucks - you really can't beat it. When I visited, I went ahead and had the Italian. It was delicious! I could have probably eaten two of them! It's a little out of the way for most people, but Original Sub Shop is definitely worth a stop if you're in the downtown area. read more

This place. I am a self-proclaimed sub enthusiast and I have found the place that makes my heart soar. This is the best place to get an amazing SUB sandwich and a refreshing drink. I crave the fainting or sassy goat sub almost everyday. You WILL NOT regret setting your lunch sights on this place and I guarantee if given the opportunity in the future you will return multiple times. Praise the Lord I love close so I can continuously indulge in the culinary masterpieces this place offers! Incredible!! read more

So we finally tried this place. A total of four stars just because the owners were so sweet and cool. Don't be intimidated by the decor or the ambiance when you walk in, the place is comfy and has a historical feel to it. I'd recommend you try this place and form your own opinion. The bread was fresh, had my sub warmed up. The macaroni salad was not that bad. Like I said, everyone has a certain taste in food. If I'm ever downtown, I would swing by here for a quick lunch. Once again, stop by here and give them a try. They have regulars here so it says a lot about the place. read more
