Let's see, I grew up in Brooklyn, I know what a good hero is, I also know what good Italian bread is, there was always the debate over caputos & mazzolas, since I spent most of my childhood on union street, mazzolas was always the best. We had mazzola Italian bread on everything, egg & potato sandwiches, with just butter, and of course with cold cuts, always boars head. I've always said…anything you put on mazzolas bread is going to be good! So with that said, the sandwiches here are the basically the same exact sandwiches I grew up eating, and still make in my home today. It wasn't anything that I would say that blew my mind, yes it's cool that I don't have to go to mazzolas and get bread, and it's cool that I don't have to go to the supermarket to get the cold cuts, but overall it might have actually been cheaper if I did both those things, at almost $10 a sandwich I didn't think it was worth it. I would like to also say how disappointed I was to see that they don't make the great Italian sandwich! How could you possible have a sandwich shop without the classic? Yes they had the cold cuts to make it, but on other sandwiches, did I really want to get specific with my hero while there are 15 people behind me? Not really…
The wait was long ago, didn't expect only two people working, and mainly one person slicing the cold cuts, while the other takes orders, and works the register.
Overall it's good, but as I've said anything you put on mazzola bread is going to be good, want a city sub sandwich but don't want to pay $10 for it? Basically get the bread yourself, some boars head cold cuts, and make it yourself, I guarantee it will taste exactly the same.
My friends and I were waiting for a table at Miriam, and were completely famished. Lo and behold, their favorite neighborhood sandwich spot had conveniently relocated adjacent to Miriam and we were left with no choice but to get a sandwich to mitigate our hunger.
The three of us shared the glorious #13, "Baltic Street Peppermill," which has turkey breast, and Monterey Jack cheese with lettuce, tomato + mayo. Oh and the bread was toasted. The sandwich was so, so, so good. The proportions were on point – just the right amount of meat + cheese to bread ratio. The sandwich ran us around $10 bucks.
They have an expansive menu, the space is small, and it's a little disorganized. Good pre-meal meal.
I ordered the #16 "Flatbush Ave" which has corned beef and swiss. The actual sandwich was tasty. The bread was nice and crunch and the inside was melted to perfection. However I stood on this line for 40 minutes for something I could have gotten in half the time at the bodega. The space is not that big and doesn't have air conditioning, so I began to feel lightheaded while waiting in line. Overall this place is okay, I would probably return when they are less busy.
Good subs! Had it for lunch one day, and I had to come back the next day for another sub.
The Subs at City Subs are everything you want and expect in a good sub, good bread, freshly sliced cold cuts.
They slice their cold cuts to order, each and every time. Sliced thin, perfect each and every time. They use only premium cold cuts as well.
They have a huge menu of sandwiches to choose from, you can personalize any sandwich on the menu or create your own as well. I like my sandwiches with olive oil and vinegar on the lettuce & tomato. Their sandwiches are reasonably priced as well.
I can't wait until they start delivery service, I'm a lazy bum what can I say, sometimes all you want is a good sandwich delivered to your house and some good ol' Netflix.
I wish they didn't close so early, I get hungry around 9pm lol.
I recommend city subs.
After Bierkraft closed down, there was a void left in my life. Not because I liked craft beer at all (or any beer, period, for that matter), but because they made the best damned sandwich in all of Brooklyn.
I thought and prayed and hoped that City Sub would be the replacement, but sadly, it is not. It's a decent sandwich place. Small operation, no frills, good bread, nice folks, but I waited almost 30 minutes for a sandwich when there were only 4 people in line ahead of me. I felt like I entered a time vortex.
In the end, I didn't think it was anything to write home about. Definitely better than say a Subway or Potbelly, but it's no Bierkraft substitute.
Bierkraft personnel, if you're out there, and you're reading this, please, for the love of all that is food, bring back your sandwiches. I don't need the beer, just the sandwich.
This place is sooooo dadgum good. Their bread is so fresh, all deli meats and cheeses are sliced fresh to order, paper-thin. Your whole sandwich will be on half a loaf of bread and you'll swear it's a lot of food and lord have mercy, how will you EVER finish that whole thing, but before you know it, you've blacked out and eaten not only your entire sandwich but are stealing bites of your boyfriend's.
#20 with hot peppers and all the trimmings is the way to go. Thank me later.
Gripes: sometimes there's a line out the door and it's slow as molasses, but patience is a virtue (or so they say). Also, there are 4 stools and not a lot of space to eat, so this is a to-go situation.
They have Boylan sodas but their Coke/Diet Coke is in those miniature glasses bottles, and I just need way more Diet Coke than that.
I'll tell you what, I respect a shop that shoots from the hip. And that is what City Subs does. They have quality meats and cheeses, chips, nice bread, sodas. And they are all SOLID and the subs are HUGE and CHEAP. Made me feel like I was back in Astoria at Sal Chris's Deli. It is a GREAT stop for a sub.
