Absolutely delicious sandwiches from a knowledgeable craftswoman. I never had French fries as just sliced potato and fried. More satisfying than just sticks in all honesty. An excellent blend between french fry and potato chip. We tried the pepper steak sandwich with everything & the house hot sauce. A perfect blend of flavors and an extremely satisfying sandwich. We were lucky to be there when traffic was low and got to enjoy our sandwich inside. If your looking for a time tested sandwich place THIS IS IT!

Wonderful sandwich shop! Owner was amazing and very welcoming! Now the sandwich was the best part. Recommend the hot pastrami and ask him how he makes his favorite!

I've been wanting to try this place for years! I've had my Fav sandwich spots all over the city, and Yellow Sub now will dominate that list! As they boast “The restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and affordable prices make it a neighborhood favorite, drawing in loyal patrons for over 30 years.” must try!

Classic sf spot. Talked to the guy. Hes pretty chill, got a few kids and just loves making sandwiches. He’s good at what he does what can I say. His name is romi or something like that. To be honest, not a big amount of meat but still really good. Super solid sandwich, I think my Beli gave it a 7.3 which is pretty actuate.
