On a beach trip from Raleigh, my friends and I will never miss a YUMMY trip to SUB TROPICS. And there are many! It is conveniently located at the beach on the main road, Ford Macon Road en route to the Circle and other Atlantic Beach public shorelines. Beachgoers can shop local and stop in for something refreshing and will love colorful Sub Tropics - a sandwich, wrap and smoothie spot that's located in the heart of Atlantic Beach, just off the Atlantic Beach Causeway. I love what one review on google said, "cheerful customization from the chief, Charles." I also added a pic of some dolphins we saw. Be kind to the animals tho and be sure pick up all of your trash while at the beach. Stop in to SUB TROPICS for a treat on your vacay.

You probably would drove by this place and think nothing much of it. The inside is a bit of a dive, but the sandwiches we ordered were superb! Don't let the appearance deceive you. I got the turkey, ham and roast beef - the bun was fluffy, there was a generous amount of meat, and you can add whatever toppings you want. The Italian was simple and delicious. Give this place a try! A few spots for parking in front of their store.

Island style fish wrap (with a bit of amazing tortilla already eaten)

Sub tropics is the perfect beach hole in the wall! I walked in to the most amazing smell of sandwiches and pizzas toasting. The best part of my experience were the smiling faces of the staff. You can tell that this business is a family affair, run by folks who truly have a passion for what they do. They were also very helpful in answering any questions I had and customizing my order to my liking. My fish wrap was average, but the star of the show was the blackened turkey sub my mom got. The bread and vegetables were so fresh and the turkey had an amazing flavor. I was so full after my wrap, but still ate a few bites of hers! The food is also extremely affordable! Please make sure to stop by Sub Tropics to get some amazing food and support what seems to be a wonderful family! *One other note... it says online that they close at 2, but will sometimes stay open later depending on the crowd*

"Açaí berry smoothie"
Erin K.

Charming little spot and friendly staff. Seriously disappointed in the smoothies. They're not fruit smoothies. it's basically flavored sugar water with ice. Honestly not sure why my açaí smoothie tasted like grape cough syrup. Didn't try anything else so can't help you guys there. But seriously morehead needs to step up their smoothie/açaí bowl game. It's 2020 people! Was really counting on the mom and pop to have a fresh made smoothie. Pretty disappointing.

Turkey and Swiss on wheat with chipotle aoli and that killer pepper relish.
Karen S.

Forget Jersey Mike's and that god-awful Subway and check out Sub Tropics for your take to the beach lunch or cold dinner needs. Sub Tropics came recommended from a Pine Shore native and it did NOT disappoint. The bread is great and that red pepper relish- man- it's the bomb. I had the turkey and Swiss and when I told the girl I had never been she recommended the chipotle Aoli to go on the sub instead of the usual mayo or mustard and it was killer. Hubby had the spicy Italian and he enjoyed it as well. Boar's heads meats are a game changer and they don't use those at Jersey Mike's. You can also purchase bags of chips, cold drinks and even smoothies. The staff was incredible gracious and kind considering how busy they were, and I'm sure are, day in and out. Be sure to leave something In That tip jar for those hard working friendly folks. They seemed to know almost everyone in line and shouted hellos and names as they went. I would put this on your must stop list for Atlantic Beach..there's a line and a tiny shop with a small staff so prepare to wait a few minutes but any sandwich this good is well worth it. There's some outside seating but I found everyone was taking it to go. Get a large- you won't regret it! In fact if you don't, you will!

Chicken club
Mike P.

A legit sub shop on the Atlantic Beach strip, Sub Tropics offers a lot to sandwich fans. Boars Head meats, as so many others have mentioned, make a huge difference. I had the turkey; my friend had a chicken club. All the meat was shaved as we ordered. Veggies were abundant (but the lettuce was a little brown). I wish I'd know about the chili aioli, but maybe next time. There are two tables outside, but no more seating, and the trash can is off the parking lot. If you're looking for a great sub, pleasant people, and delicious smoothie (to go), you can't beat Sub Tropics.

Full turkey sub
Victoria S.

Yum! This little hole in the wall sub shop is so delicious! All of their ingredients are so fresh and they use top notch deli meat! There's usually a line out the door. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The prices are also very reasonable. One of my favorite places to get a sub! If you're looking for a refreshing lunch - this is your spot! I will continue to come back every time I'm in town!

We always have to stop by when we're in town! The fish wrap is the best thing on the menu. Never had a bad sub or wrap from here!

My boyfriend and I came here last year for dinner to celebrate my birthday while we were in town…read moreand we had such a great experience that we made sure to add it to our itinerary while we were in town for a wedding in Beaufort last month. So glad that we did! It was chilly that night so we sat inside in the dining area and it is just so cute! Last year we sat at the bar and had fun there too! Our server was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of. We split the empanadas appetizer to start and they were delish! I had a margarita and it was good too! For dinner, we both ordered the fish tacos. My boyfriend made a few adjustments to his order but they still came out just as he had asked! Both of our taco dinners were great. We also split the chocolate cake dessert and we really liked it! Definitely come by here!

Absolutely amazing food. Unique fusion dishes with fresh caught seafood and a cocktail list to…read morematch. Coming from California I had a bit of a pretentious snob attitude toward local food here on small island, but I'm glad I was met with dishes humbling myself and showing me what this island has to offer. Everything was delicious and deserves praise. I was with my family of seven and they easily were able to accommodate us with all the dishes coming out at the same time and getting checked on frequently. Cocktails were well balanced and the seafood you could tell was caught the same day. Inside the decor feels beach themed but not overdone and the entire point. Instead you're met with comfort and cozy feels. Can't wait to return in the future to enjoy the different selections.
