I got a yellow submarine sub sandwich. I usually order my sandwich’s with extra meat. I’m glad that I didn’t hear. These sandwiches are stacked. And it is super good. I will definitely be back. There should be a line for this place although it was pretty busy I got my food quick.

My wife and I stopped in to Retro’s Subs & Brew on a day out. My wife picked this place and she made a good choice. The food was amazing, and the ingredients at top quality. It is a bit unusual but that’s what makes it even better. You can get a sandwich anywhere but you can only get one if their sandwich creations at Retro’s. The lady working that day was very helpful and pleasant. We will be going back again.

Realizing this family ran sub shop was right down the street, we had to give it a shot. We were not disappointed. If you’re looking for delicious subs that are crafted perfectly, I highly suggest checking them out. We had a BLT and a Full Force. Both were delicious! If you’re in the mood for a sandwich that blows the other shops out of the water. Head here. We will be coming back more often!

The food was very good. I had the New York, NY which is pastrami. Quite good. My only suggestion would be the the pastrami could have been hotter, but still very good. Atmosphere was a bit dark, but fine. I'll be back.

After seeing a TikTok showcasing their food, we decided to stop by and give it a try—and we’re so glad we did! The inside has such a fun retro vibe, and the owners were incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. They recommended a couple of their most popular sandwiches, so we went with the New York New York and the Paisley Park Pesto. Both were generously packed with meat, fresh veggies, and tons of flavor. The toasted bread added the perfect satisfying crunch. They also have a full bar with a fantastic selection of beer and spirits. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Highly recommend!
