    Inside the shop.
    Danny D.

    This place is great. I had never heard of it until I was tagged in a social media post. They have about a dozen sandwiches on the menu as well as the owners famed chicken salad recipes (maple, jalapeño, etc) which change daily depending on how he feels and sell it by lunchtime. It's like the "Soup du jour". Their ingredients are free and I love the bread. It held together even when my sub got a bit messy (I like a lot of condiments. Mayo, mustard, pepper spread.) I had the honey turkey sub and it was loaded. The owner was correct. You can only eat half in one sitting . Plus there are a few tables indoors and outdoors for you to sit and enjoy your sub. I'll be patronizing this place again soon. 5

    Subcentral is one of those sandwich shops that just gets it done. They make a good sandwich that kind of reminds me of jersey mikes. All ingredients were freshly sliced and the bread was nicely made. I can't remember which one I got but I enjoyed it. You can also be in and out pretty quickly which is convenient on a lunch break.

    Roast Beef Sub

    Came here during my lunch break from work to try out one of their sandwiches. Good amount of parking spaces offered here, so parking not an issue. I ordered the Roast Beef Sub sandwich, as that is the one that caught my attention most. My sandwich was made fresh and quick, which was awesome. Staff was friendly. Once I started eating my sub, it was amazing. The meat was delicious. And all the toppings added into the sandwich blended together perfectly. I loved the roast beef. I believe they used boars head meat, which isbmy favorite kind. Overall, I really enjoyed my sandwich and will be coming back to try different ones out.

    Delicious, perfectly assembled, friendly service, nice location, super nice owner, and did I mention HUGE subs? That is what you get here at Subcentral. I got a 1/2 #4 and it was ENORMOUS. Piled high with delicious meats (they use Boar's Head), on a crusty and chewy sub roll, with lettuce, tomato, spices, red wine, and vinegar. The prices are fair, and you walk out satisfied. The roll is *almost* perfect. When I brought this little nugget of a suggestion to the owner, he knew it too, because he has said that he has been there when it tastes perfect, except on weekends it just misses the mark. Everything else on the sub was spot on. It could easily overtake Jersey Mike's in a sub competition, and I think it is a much better sub than Tastee Subs. Be ready for a happy tummy afterwards, because the freshness of all the ingredients make for a delicious sub. The sub shop is easy to get to off of Route 1. It is also close by the hospital (JFK Medical), and not terribly far from the Menlo Park mall. For commuters, it is not far from the Metropark train station, so those looking for a quick lunch or dinner before or after your train ride can get it. But it might be hard to get one of these during rush hour given the shop is literally off of Route 27. That is why I would wait to come back. But trust me, these subs are worth the wait.

Would I recommend it? Yes. Is it worth seeing once? Also yes. It has that big, theatrical, old-school deli energy where the portions are part of the show. That said, I'm not in the camp that every good restaurant is automatically a five-star spot. When everything is a five, it gets harder to separate the truly elite places, the hometown heroes, and the restaurants worth planning a trip around. Harold's lands for me as a very solid three-point-something, graciously rounded to four because they have a Marine Corps flag hung in reception. The food was good, the portions were whatever you make it, and the whole place has novelty value without feeling like a total gimmick. The sandwiches are large enough to satisfy a hungry, medium-sized guy without completely defeating him. And honestly, on a menu full of meat, my favorite thing may have been the healthy pickled salad/pickle bar situation -- bright, crunchy, and a great counterbalance to the heavier deli classics. My biggest knock was the service atmosphere. There seemed to be an army of staff, but not much interaction beyond their phones. Maybe I caught it at an off time, and maybe the place comes alive when it's packed, but that kept the experience from feeling warmer or more special. Overall: fun stop, good food, convenient location, and worth doing if you're passing through. Memorable four.

Reconfirmed with my daughter that ordered "The Lucky Seven Sub." which she confirmed I did say it. Anyhow, the quality of the sub my chicken cheesesteak was nothing like Philadelphia chicken cheesesteak. Taste was bland had to add salt and pepper to give it flavoring. As for my daughters sub (Lucky Seven) it comes with grilled chicken. I've never seen grilled chicken so difficult when she bit into it. It was like fake grilled chicken not the real chicken it was like school cafeteria cheap chicken. A piece of frozen chicken defrosted in the microwave. Was hoping it would be chicken when you bite into it just melts in your mouth. Not the case for this place. Dining area was very clean bathroom needed cleaning. I went there and it looked nasty. For the price I paid for lunch and this is lunch no specials you are being charged extra if using your credit card, If you do not use cash on top of that I tipped. Honestly, It was not worth the money that was paid for the quality. But hands-down to the dessert which was cannoli that was the best thing throughout anything else.
