Family owned business for almost 50 years. Food is fresh and tasty. You can't go wrong with the cheese steak, the Gyros, or any of the subs. Friendly staff. Super clean restaurant. I can't wait to go back for my sub fix.

I had the Gyro with fries. Fries were perfect. The Gyro had real good flavors, and they're never selfish with the amount of meat. My only criticism is I think the meat needed a little more pepper, and the Gyro as a whole needed more veggies and sauce. Other than that, great job. Definitely would get again!!!

I've been eating here for over 15 years and it's always the best. The cold cut is the best hot sub ANYWHERE. I moved from Richmond in 2015 but still visit several times a year and a visit to sub central is a must. The owner always remembers me. Asks about how we are. I saw "we" because my children have joined me throughout the years here and he asks how they are as well. The owners parent's cut the veggies fresh still today and he knows almost everyone who walks in. Fantastic dude! The cold cut is the freshest and tastiest hot sub. The mayo, meat, lettuce, tomatoes and onions have always been the same. The bread is toasted perfectly with a soft inner and crunchy outside. Steak and cheese is a staple as well and always stuffed full of meat and cheese. Fries are always hot, crispy and salted right. The ketchup is kept cold for you too. You won't be disappointed.

Plain and simply put this was a d*mn good sub. I ordered using a food delivery app (Uber eats ) while I was at work probably paid a markup but whatever it is what it is, it has nothing to do with this. But whatever I paid it, and the possible app gouging took a backseat to the fact that the sub was BANGING. They did not skip on meat nor the toppings. The bread was just right, it didn't taste cheapo or stale. Also, I ordered a side of fries and in the comment section of the food delivery app I said "please please no salt on the fries" usually if I make a request like that in the app, it's never honored, they honored it. My only critique is: SERIOUSLY, y'all could've thrown in some napkins to help your girl out. I got sub juice on my shirt. I smelt..smelled ...??...I smelled like a musty under arm the rest of my day. My sub eating technique may or may not have anything to do with me needing napkins. I'm just saying it would've been nice. But I crushed that sub. I said I wasn't gonna eat the whole thing but I did. I ate half waited two hours ate the other half and was full 12 hours later. They gave you a lot of fries. I just wanted a couple 2-3 so I gave them to my coworkers. They liked that they were shoestring. If they were hot, they would've been awesome. But IMMATERIAL. The sub was the star of the show. Go get a sub! The next time I'm over there I'm getting a sub. 5 out of 5 stars would recommend

Decent subs; decent prices. I've dropped in a couple of times and every time there's been a line. Fortunately the staff is amazing and prepares orders in no time. I recommend the chicken cheesesteak; it's filled to the brim with meaty-cheesey goodness. If I had one wish be granted it'd be that they're open on Sundays, because they're perfect for picking up food to take to the river, or a picnic or to one of the the nearby parks.

I was leaving an event and stopped in to pick up lunch. I got a gyro with extra tzatziki sauce and a steak & cheese with mushrooms and hot peppers. I have to wait to get home to dive in but just the aroma it's putting off, I know it's gonna be good

I ordered a gyro and I have no complaints. It was delicious, service was quick and the guy behind the counter was very welcoming. A little pricey for the gyro meal but other then that, awesome.

Solid subs, onion rings and fries! Reasonable prices and really fast preparation. Made the subs by the time we got there but made fries and onion rings when I arrived (good ... better fresh!). All the subs are 12" and really big with plenty of meat! Probably could have used more provolone cheese on the steak and cheese as well as tszatiki sauce for the gyro. Both we chose to get without tomatoes but perfect otherwise (my wife likes extra mayo and banana peppers which those are a little extra - 35¢ I think). You could eat there but really seems intended for takeout. Just a little far to get home so the food gets a little not hot that's the only downside.
