Yellow Submarine

I stopped in for a sandwich for the first time today. A cool place for Sunday football! My sandwich was delicious and the people were friendly. I ordered the mushrooms as well. They were huge and crispy. The screened in patio is a nice touch too.

Wow! New local business. The college kids said it was amazing and I agree, they got it right. Great food! So much flavor and so many choices! Specialty Jalapeño burger with jalapeño bacon… Homemade Ranch is outstanding and I don’t even like ranch! The games are on, lots of room and even nice wine /​beer selection. Well done! Highly recommended!

The Yellow Submarine is always a great choice! I have never been disappointed eating one of their subs. The Italian is a personal favorite. The subs are fresh, flavorful, and filling. The prices are fair too. It’s worth a visit.

Both myself and my wife enjoy the subs here. The chips are not great as they are buying Wise rather than Lays or Utz, and the fountain drinks are subpar. Other than the two aforementioned complaints, I have always had a good experience at Yellow Sub. The dining room is large, and also has some covered outdoor seating.

Before I start this review I will admit that I am somewhat disillusioned with Lynchburg dinning. Especially the sandwich scene. Mainly stemming from a love of New York sandwiches that in all honesty sets the bar pretty damn high. However, factoring that out of the equation I came here with an open mind.
First up is the location. Its an off the beaten path locals only joint where you have to know where it’s at to find. That scores points in my counter-​establishment heart. On the inside the dinning room is large with plenty of room to find a seat. The counter area had a look vaguely resembling a typical college-​dive-​restaurant, but it works and was clean.
When I came here it was with one sandwich on mind: the classic no frills Italian hero (.:sigh:. I have to leave the New York vernacular up north). When it came out the biggest gripe I had was the bread. It tasted and felt like a hotdog bun it the shape of a roll. As bread is one of the major components of a good sandwich it’s important that it’s fresh and the texture is just right –a crunchy crust on it with soft interior. Sadly Yellow Sun lacked this. The meat was good if not Boar’s Head quality (ham, genoa salami, and cappicola). You also have to specify which toppings when ordering (mayo, mustard) or it comes plain. For the price though it wasn’t a bad deal ~ $ 7 for a «12 which explains the apparent subpar ingredients.
At any rate check it out, explore the large menu, and enjoy the food adventure.

We all live in a yellow submarine!

The subs were fittingly named after submarines. The Red October was piled high with corned beef, pastrami, and swiss cheese. No frills like fancy avocados or dressings, there was a little too much lettuce but plenty of meat compared to subs at the chain sandwich shops. Subs can be hot or cold. Almost all the subs were $ 4.70 for 8″ and $ 6.95 for 12″. When my 12″ came out, it was closer to 16″ — don’t we all wish for big surprises like that? Being a dainty little flower, I couldn’t handle it all at once, and after a day in the fridge, the leftover half sub wasn’t soggy or limp the next day.

Best sub in Lynchburg! Cheap and tasty!

Its very important to me to find a go-​to sammich shop for quick and nutritious, luscious lunches. This is number 1 on the list if you’re on that side (west) of town.
They have adequate prices, seem cleaner than any Subway (Isn’t everybody?) I’ve seen, and carry that mom and pop charm that you want to see in your local eateries. Do pay attention though because most people miss it from Old Forest Rd.
Warning: This place can become overrun with EC Glass students on exam days, half days, off days, etc. Then again, that’s how I found it. Thanks Billy and Nicole.
