What People Are Saying About Yellow Submarine

It's always the same friendly faces working behind the tall counter at Yellow Submarine--the same people who have been making their signature Boston-style stuffed subs on toasted bread for decades. They don't write down your order because they don't need to. Choose your meat, cheese and condiments ("everything" includes mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, pickles, oil, vinegar and hot sauce), then proceed to get out of the way and wait patiently with the other diners, who spill out the door and into the adjoining dining area at lunch time. Sandwiches, available in medium or large, are big enough for a meal on their own, but vinegary-and-sweet potato salad or homemade fries dripping with oil are available as sides.

Jan 2008. When I moved to SF in 1990 a local native introduced me to Yellow Submarine and has become one of my favorite places to eat. I really appreciate the exceptionally large ?Medium? submarine sandwiches and have never been able to finish the ?Large? submarine sandwich. I recommend the ?homemade hot sauce? on my ?medium turkey with extra avocado? submarine sandwich. Your order is made on the spot and 5 minutes later your sandwich is ready for your consumption. I also recommend their homemade French fries. This family owned place is fast, friendly and their sandwiches are delicious. ? SF Native Since 1990

Back in NYC, we used to go to Blimpies, take them out to the Brooklyn Promenade to eat. Yellow Sub comes closest to those huge, yummy, dripping with goodness heros. You can get them toasted but I like mine "cold." A nice selection of stuffings. Fried potatoes are made with REAL potatoes and are good and greasy. It's a great hero sandwich. If you call in your order ahead of time, you can avoid having to stand around for 15 mins. waiting.

I have been eating at this place since I was in high school, which is more than a decade. The sandwiches taste great and the service is good and the prices are just right.

Save Money:
Large sandwiches are only a couple bucks more and nearly twice the size as a medium; buy one to share or save half for dinner if it's more than can be finished in one sitting.
What to Drink:
Beer and bottled soft drinks are available.
Know Before You Go:
You can't miss this place: the yellow exterior is painted with characters from the Beatles' movie of the same name.
