Steph’s Subs

Headed here right at lunchtime (12:00). entered to find a line of about 5 people. Pretty organized to a point. But some people paid when they ordered and some when they received their order. Now mine was a to-​go order. I ordered the Italian light mayo, no onion and toasted. Waited maybe 10 mins max. when the guy gave me my sub, he asked if I paid already. This was the same guy that took my order. This to me is a loophole where money can be lost. Me being honest, said I did not pay. Imagine how many people see this as an opportunity to get a free meal. Total was around $ 8. Headed back my office. Sub was tasty, very tasty. Just the right amount of everything. Roll was toasted perfect and was not soggy. They put mayo and oil on the subs. I will back for sure. I really enjoyed this warm lunch on this cold day.

I grew up in Bloomsburg and my first stop when I visit is always Steph’s– and my family and friends feel likewise! The combo of a fresh sub or a Cosmo (melted perfectly in a toaster oven) and Middlesworth BBQ chips is really, really hard beat. I especially like: Cheese Cosmo*, Ham & Cheese Cosmo*, Chicken or Italian subs (with everything of course). Having moved to the Midwest I can tell you the mix put on Steph’s subs is unique– mayo, seasoned oil, shakers (salt, pepper, parma cheese and oregano– I think), and peppers. The peppers make the sub– they are hot but not to hot, and pack in so much flavor.

I ordered a sub… which is what they specialize in right? There were two people ahead of me. It took 45 minutes (yes FORTY FIVE MINUTES) for me to get my sub. i finally asked what was going on, and no one apologized. they actually looked annoyed that i bothered to ask them what was taking so long. (i wouldve just left, but i already paid for it). oh, the real kicker is, the guy working there made himself a sub and sat down and ate it while i was still waiting (about 30 minutes in).
its a shame because i grew up in bloomsburg and have been going to berrigans turned steph’s for years. that was my last time.

Very disappointed today after I picked up my subs.
I asked for two whole ham and cheese. One with everything including xtra mayo and peppers. I literally had to look for the mayo and peppers. On my whole sub I counted 6 pieces of onion. Meat was minimal and cheese was barely present.
It seems stefs has employees that are not in to their jobs like past employees. My sub maker was worried about his quiting time more then making my sub. In guessing there was a magic tourney somewhere he was in a hurry for.
In closing I will not be going back. My business will be going to berrigans.

We were driving on the highway and was caught in a bad thunderstorm so we stopped by a small town that we have never heard of (which turned out to be Bloomsburg). It was around dinner time so me and my friends decided to eat in the town. We decided to go to Steph’s Subs based on Unilocal reviews.
This place is a small local sub store. The nice thing about this place is that the people who work there are nice and friendly. Another nice thing is that you can actually see the staff making the sub in front of you and they really make one carefully. (It’s not like other sub stores where they throw in ingredients on the bread and ¹⁄₃ of the lettuce going into the trash). The ingredients are in a refrigerator with a clear door where you can see how fresh the ingredients are.
I tried a hot sausage sub because I never saw this type of sub in other places. The sausage is not one of those cheap ones that go into a $ 1 hot dog but seemed like a handmade sausage (not sure if they made it themselves). The spicy curly fries were also good. Not too spiced but just the right amount. My friends ordered normal fries and I tried a few and I could tell that they used fresh oil.
I would give them a four-​star only because it is very unlikely that I would be able to try it again!

Resembles the subs they used to serve in the middle school cafeteria when I was a student. It won’t kill you, but in a town with another option for a sub, even a Subway chain, my question is «why bother?»

Meh, I’ve experienced a lot better elsewhere. All I know is that the first and last time I ate here I commented to my girlfriend about how it is against PA health code regulations to not wear a hat or some type of head covering to protect the food from hair and bacteria. I said this as I watched some clueless college girl making my sandwich while NOT wearing a hat… while eating, I found hair in my sandwich; it matched the girl who made it. Yuck.

in june i had an amazing sandwich week. it started on the day i left new orleans and had one final roast beef po’ boy «fully dressed» from mahony’s on magazine street on the way out of town.
three long days later, i drove into bloomsburg and had the classic steph’s regular with everything. it’s the standard italian sub, served on fresh daylo’s bakery hoagie roll, with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, thin sliced raw onion, and drizzled with steph’s salad oil and hot peppers (not whole peppers mind you, a chopped up topping of the red variety). and a tiny bag of middleswarth chips. verrrry important.
two days after that, i was eating a cheesesteak wit’ from jim’s steaks in philly.
that i consider steph’s in the same company as mahony’s and jim’s is one thing. that it’s 11:30pm and i’m lying in bed in los angeles a month later, hungry and only craving the steph’s sub says it all.
