    My friend and I visited this place due to convincing videos on social media. What really sets this place apart is the proprietors and the service -- which earned an extra star to my food rating. I love underdog businesses -- and the stories behind it. The menu is fairly simple and the subs are tasty and fresh. The lettuce and tomatoes are cut several times a day and I can taste the difference. Being an avid big boy eater and Philly cheesesteak and hoagie fan, I was feeling like I wanted more -- even eating after a large. The small to me is a kid's portion. I wish the subs had more in the middle like many spots in Philly.

    Cheesesteak sub with fries

    I love the cozy diner vibe from this humble sub joint in the most southern part of Light St. I tried their cheesesteak sub which was very good. They use Cooper Sharp white cheese, faithful to this new Philly tradition, thin-sliced ribeye, sesame seed roll, and grilled onions. Tasted great but meat could use a just little seasoning. The overall taste is very good and I'll be back to try some of their other sandwiches. The fries were a little bland but made better with vinegar and ketchup. The men's room has some cute phrases pasted to the mirror that say "Smile, it looks good on you" and "Oh gods, you look perfect!" Yes, "gods" not "god". Nice touch. The owner, Joe, his wife, the staff are all nice and friendly.

    Generally I am not one to buy sandwiches; however, Subplicity is the exception! The shop is located in an old school diner which adds to the aesthetic! Staff is super friendly and helpful! They recommended that I go with the Italian Sub and it did not disappoint! I ordered the 12" Italian Sub and it was enough food for two meals due to the amount of meat and toppings on their subs. You have the option of getting a sesame seed bun, which was recommended! Overall, I highly recommend Subplicity when in Baltimore!

    I came across Subplicity on Instagram and TikTok and had to check it out for myself especially since I love a good cheesesteak! The restaurant is super cute and gives an old-school diner vibe. I was pleasantly surprised to see a phone booth inside, which added a fun, nostalgic touch. Customer service was solid I was greeted both upon arrival and departure, whether dining in or ordering carryout, which I appreciated. For food, I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and my husband got the hot Italian. The chicken was seasoned well, and I took the advice to skip the lettuce and tomato on the cheesesteak, but unfortunately, my sub was still soggy. The bread was cut more like a sandwich rather than a traditional cheesesteak roll, and I think it may have broken during toasting because when I took a bite, everything fell out of the bottom. My husband enjoyed his hot Italian but mentioned he wished it came on a different type of bread, as this one didn't really soak up the oil from the sandwich. Overall, it wasn't the best experience, but it wasn't terrible either. I'd be willing to give them another try in the future.

    I recently stopped by Subplicity and was honestly so surprised (in the best way) by how good everything was. I ordered their $18 fully loaded Italian sub and it did not disappoint. It was stacked with ham, prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, and provolone -- then topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, cherry peppers, mayo, EVOO, red vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano on a toasted seeded roll. The bread was fresh, soft, and held all the juices perfectly without getting soggy. Every bite was flavorful and well balanced. Portion size was generous, and you can really taste the quality of the meats and toppings. I also love that they offer the option to customize your own subs, plus they have hot subs on the menu too, which I'll definitely be trying next time. If you're looking for a solid Italian sub that's actually loaded and worth the price, this is a great spot to check out. I'll be back!

    I ordered through door dash a 12" Italian sub. This sub was sooo good. I will say that it can be slightly salty with all the meats but it was very good none the less. I got it exactly how it is on the menu and it did not disappoint. Fresh ingredients and It's so big! I ate one half one day and the other half the next day. I'm absolutely ordering this again!

    This guys are gaining a name in the city and rightly so. They make some dang good subs. Is there usually a little bit of a wait? Sure. But they take the time to construct your order with care. It shows how popular they are that they routinely run out of ingredients because the demand is there. I've both gotten delivery as well as picked up sandwiches from here but you can also sit in and eat there. Last time I got the turkey club minus the bacon. They do not skimp on the meats and cheese, the sandwich is piled high. It was a great addition to a picnic we had planned. I'd recommend you stop by and get your sub hit from this place.

    Checked out sublicity because I was craving a cheesesteak. Put my order in and picked it up in person. Called ahead to request a change to my order -the server was unbelievably kind and even wrote me a cute note on the packaging. The fries and cheesesteak were *chefs kiss*. Meat was plentiful and well seasoned and I added lettuce and tomato (tho they recommend against it). I will say the sub was quickly soggy-wondering if a change in packaging would help? But it was still so tasty and filling that I didn't care. I'll be back!

    According to Google, this place has one of the best subs in Baltimore. To me the subs are OK. The service was great, upon walking in the cashier could tell immediately this was my first time. She recommended either getting a hot or a cold sub for me I got the chicken cheesesteak and my friend got an Italian cold cut. Both sandwiches are prepared wonderfully, they both tasted good(however, a little more salt and pepper could've been used on my cheesesteak). Overall, the place gives good vibes. Definitely a nice little spot to come for a lunch break or grab a bite to eat.

    Found Subplicity on an IG reel and let social media convince me to spend more money! This place did not disappoint though. Stopped by during the lunch rush but even packed, the staff moved fast and delivered top-tier customer service. I came for the cheesesteak and omg they do not play about the meat - very generous portions! Probably the best cheesesteak I can recall having in a minute. Came to big my back again (duh) and chatted with the staff after the rush. Truly some of the nicest people you'll meet. Great food, great energy. I took notice of how kind and respectful Joe spoke with his staff which really stood out to me. I have no issues with my back growing big from these visits! Tip these folks when you do visit- they definitely deserve it.

    I'm so happy a decent Sub shop has opened in Fed Hill. Cold Cuts and Cheese steaks and breakfast is also offered. Thoroughly enjoyed the chicken cheese steak on a seeded roll. Friendly staff and an overall a clean establishment with dine in seeting.

    10/10. Half a sandwich with the work. $11.83. Love love love a seeded roll!! Wahoo. Can't wait to come back.

    Cold Specialty Subs: Italian cold cut
    Cello's P.

    So after keep hearing great reviews about Subplicity I finally pulled up. It's on a pretty busy street so I'll warn you now parking is going to be a bit of a challenge. But once I found parking it was on. It's a small spot so on a busy day it can get hectic in here. Luckily it wasn't crowded when I came, only like a good 10 people. I went with the Italian cold cut, chips, & ice tea for a total of $25. My only issue with that is I wasn't familiar with their subs cause I would've never gotten the 12' sub. It's literally 2 subs for $18. I would've stuck with the $11 sub. But it's too late now plus it's so good I'll gladly finish this off later. The sub was packed with meat & toppings just how a sub is supposed to be. The service was also amazing the cashier was very informative & nice. The cook was as well, plus he was super efficient in getting the ordered out as quickly as possible. My only issue that caused me to take away a star was unfortunately he was moving so fast he messed up my order & put tomatoes on it. But he was super nice & offered to make me another one (I refused). But overall this was an amazing sandwich easily one of the best Italian cold cuts I've ever had & a must have if you love Italian cold cuts.

    10/10 subs!! The sub is huge, even for a 6 inch. Can't go wrong with fries or tater tots. The hot italian is my favorite on a seeded roll!

    The owners were so nice and the cheesesteaks are excellent! Very close to the Philly spots and in some aspects better.

    I'm a pizza snob, I want something close to the Brooklyn (NY) pizza that I grew up with and here it…read moreis. A personal sized pepperoni pizza was shard by my wife and I. The crust and sauce as it should be, the cheese, just enough and the pepperoni had just enough bite! Recommended! We took home a couple of rice balls (arancini) and they were okay. I've never seen yellow rice in a rice ball, nor a meatball used as the center. It's usually ground beef, a little sauce with peas. It was odd to me though the marinara they gave with this was really good. Maybe this is how rice balls are made here in Baltimore and that's okay, it's the only reason I knocked a star off. The fellow behind the counter was very nice and helpful, there is not a lot of room to sit, but we had room. A good sign that during our visit an employee of the Department of Health had his lunch there. A good sign that it's clean in the kitchen (it was definitely clean out front.) Recommended for the pizza. We'll be back.

    I've ordered from here a few times and always get the same thing. The shop is cute but small with a…read moresome seating and they also have seating outside. I ordered on door dash and picked up my order. They are always nice and friendly and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered what I usually get, an Italian cold cut. I love how the ingredients are fresh and the bread is fresh. I will absolutely order from here again.
