T & W Subs & BBQ

Great place and local too, don’t have to sit thru annoying Miami traffic. My husband and I went in the other morning, I was craving a good Italian sub (don’t judge me) so we wanted to check it out, we went in and we were instantly greeted by a young pretty cashier who was very helpful with the menu.

Used to love it here. New management?
Not so much.
Got a cold beer… After asking for 4 that they no longer carried. They used to have a restaurant in the biz special for the afternoon… It was gone. And the most disappointing part was that the brisket platter had no flavor– before it was smoked and perfect !!!
Please restore this good food, good vibe restaurant to what it used to be.

Good food with friendly service. I think they have the best veggie sub for $ 4.27. Good atmosphere too. They have a huge menu. I highly recommend this sub shop and BBQ and bar.

It is no longer T&W — it was sold to subrageous however the recipes are the same. We order ed the brisket platter ½ brunt ends and ½ SLICED. it was very tasty. Rich bbq flavor could have been warmer food but it tasted fresh. We paired it with the mac and cheese! The mac and cheese is the classic flavor. Sometimes it’s great just to have the basic! We were floored on how inexpensive the meal was and how great the flavors and taste and service. The waitress very professional and polite. Great spot! We are definitely coming back. The fried corn was a different flavor but good.

Had some time to kill and needed a good lunch. This place came up on Unilocal and the pictures sold me. I had the corned beef and pastrami with grilled onions and the cheese and bacon fries. It’s a LOT of food but soooo good!

I was here just over a year ago and loved it. I was very concerned that the change in ownership might affect the food. But no! The food is every bit as good as I remembered. Service was excellent; brisket, cole slaw & beans were great. Ribs were tasty, meaty & smokey but not falling off the bone. Very casual décor, paper plates, plastic utensils. There’s a bar (wine & beer) in a separate room in the back.
Highly recommend this place (now called Substantial Subs and BBQ) in a small shopping center on US1.

Brisket has excellent flavor and we’ll done. Good beer selection on draft (all the way to the end). Hubby liked the ribs. Also good customer service.

Unfortunately I am removing T&W from my list of bookmarked restaurants. We called to place a takeout order and we quickly realized they are not the restaurant we used to enjoy. The lady who answered the phone was very impatient and down right rude. When she answered she did not say T&W, she said some other name, so I thought I called the wrong number. When I asked she said that is the name outside, but the new name is…(I still don’t know what she said). She seemed annoyed as my question. Then when we asked if the menu is the same, her annoyance continued. Against my better judgement, I continued to place my order and my husband spoke to her and placed his. When we hung up we compared notes and agreed she was just plain rude. We decided not to give them our business and called back and canceled.
Unfortunately we are no longer going to enjoy the BBQ and PLEASANT atmosphere at T&W. We wish the new owners well.

We had the pastrami with sautéed onions and it was great. They screwed up our first sandwich but one of the owners came by the table and was very nice and apologetic. They replaced our sandwich for free. We will definitely be coming back

Grabbed dinner and was greeted and served by very friendly staff. The atmosphere is that of sandwich shop meets local bar, very casual laid back place!
We ordered onion rings, cheese fries, and split a steak sandwich. The onion rings and cheese fries were good, but nothing that couldn’t be duplicated at a fast food joint (great pricing though!). The steak sandwich (we asked for a Philly cheese steak sandwich, but I’m not sure if we were served the correct thing or this was what their version of the sandwich was) was basic.
I’m a sandwich fiend (always trying to find a legit non-​chain sub shop down here), but unfortunately I wasn’t blown away like other Unilocalers!

My bf introduced me to this place as he lives close by and these are by far the best subs I have EVER had. I love the service, staff is always patient and helpful and funny too. The only thing is my bf always seems to get his order with something he didnt want or missing something that he did want. Other than that, all good.
I like dining in, its very casual with lots of huge tvs displaying sports. Food has always been fresh and flavorful, a favorite!

THIS IS REAL BBQ! THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ON THE 4TH OF JULY, 2015.
The food was unbelievable! The ribs and chicken had real char on them and the staff will make sure you have BBQ sauce cooked on your meat. Only if you want it!
It is personalized for your taste! Go figure that! lol. We also had baked beans, corn bread & french fries. (not ORE IDA) They were all home made and delicious. With one exception, the mac & cheese did not have enough flavor and was not creamy enough. But The 2 subs we also got were the chicken bomb, & the steak bomb. They were both delicious and very filling!
The prices were really good too! If I could I would move in! This is my new love! I cant wait to get back! Thanks for this wonderful experience!

Came here for lunch one day since my co-​worker said it had great sandwiches. On my Unilocal app, there was a check in for a free draft beer so I was kinda excited to use it. However, when I got there, the waitress said they changed owners and that they don’t do the free beer anymore. :(
I ordered a Blue Moon anyways and also a rueben sandwich. I liked how the waitress customized my sandwich asking if I wanted wheat or white, mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Kinda reminds me of Subway in that aspect. The rueben was really good with lots of meat. The bacon was crispy and the sandwich itself was huge.
The waitress however became less attentive even though the restaurant itself was not that busy. My friend ordered extra buffalo sauce for like 3 times and she kept forgetting. It also took a long time for us to get our check, around 10 – 15 minutes when we asked for it.
Overall, I would go again for lunch.

First time here and loved it. Owner came out and talked to us, super cool guy! Staff was extremely nice as well. Great beer selection as well. Defiantly becoming our spot.
Prices are fantastic! Order 4 craft beers, an app and 2 subs all for $ 40!

My brother insisted I try this place. I am a regular at Shorty’s, so I figured I would appease my brother so he’d stop bothering me.
After my lunch, I have decided that I am no longer a regular at Shorty’s. The ribs I had were far meatier, far more tender, and were far more flavorful.
Not only are the ribs much better, but the value is much better than at Shorty’s.
This is my new favorite place for BBQ ribs.
Went back today for a sub. Ordered a steak sub with cheese. Remember the old Wendy’s commercial «where’s the beef?» I actually walked out hungry.
Lesson learned. Good for ribs, not for subs.

Some of the best bbq ever made! Truly the most tender beef and pulled pork! The beef was impossibly tender. It melted in my mouth. & The bbq sauce wasn’t too sweet and not too vinegary.
Looked it up on Unilocal on the way back from the Everglades and were incredibly surprised. We got a steak sub, a corned beef Reuben sub, a pulled pork plate, and a brisket plate between the four of us. Plus baked beans, cole slaw and Mac n cheese.
We were a little disappointed to hear they were out of pastrami, because my boyfriend and I are on a lifelong quest to find the best Reuben sandwiches (we love corned beef but are partial to pastrami) …but it was a Sunday… And their bbq made up for it!
Definitely not something we would have found or even considered if it weren’t for Unilocal.Looks can be deceiving! This place is tucked back in a plaza next to an animal hospital and a realty place and the storefront is anything but flashy. But it’s worth a stop! Really really incredible food and it looked like they had plenty of craft beer and beers on tap too. However, I will never fall for a «1 free craft beer with check-​in» on Unilocal again. Bogus, Unilocal,bogus.

Some of the best pulled pork I’ve had! Super fast service! The staff is very hip and friendly.

I feel so torn. Having read the reviews from my fellow Unilocalers, we rushed over to give this place a try. It’s Saturday evening, about an hour and a half before close. Parking lot is empty, so no issue with that. Location is unique as the entrance leads you through a doorway, but the line starts towards the back.
Being that this was our first time we decided to give a few menu items to try. We ordered two full racks of the baby backs a pound of brisket fries green beans and mac-​n-​cheese and corn. We tried to order a beer but were told that we would have to go to the back of the restaurant where they have a small bar and place a separate order for the alcohol. Not a big deal, just different.
The food was prepared and served very quickly which was nice. The first thing I noticed in the main contributor for the two stars was that the ribs were so done that they looked more like tenderloin. They were really not edible. We wound up giving one and a half of the racks to another patron as they walked in.
The brisket was ok, not great, not bad, just ok. We wound up throwing the better part of ¹⁄₃ of the pound away. The green beans and the cornbread were cold and got tossed as well. The Mac-​n-​cheese was pretty good as were the fries, this got them the second star. Unfortunately the food was so bad that even if they were just having an off night, we wouldn’t risk going back.

It’s always fun to inject a little chaos, combined with great food and friendly service, in to your life. This well concealed strip mall locale is the perfect place to do just that.
The menu is monstrous with various sandwiches, subs, burgers and barbecue. Several items come in a «bomb» format but I don’t know what it means as I stuck to classic barbecue on the first visit. Having been to many barbecue Meccas in Texas, I couldn’t help but compare. The ribs were definitely competitive and the brisket was smoky although perhaps more dry that the worlds finest. However, I made one discovery that puts this place above all the rest…
You can order Cuban coffee and importantly, the famed Colada — many shots of Cuban coffee in one cup for your caffeinated hedonistic life altering experience. Cuban coffee and barbecue. Get used to it. I hope in years to come, all barbecue will be served this way. But, for now, come to this one place on planet earth that does and enjoy. We did!

Had lunch here today. This is one of a select list of delicious places to eat in palmetto bay or near.
I went with the honey mustard chicken sub with grilled onions, and mushrooms. The bread was fresh and soft. The chicken was perfectly cooked. Overall, great sub.
The place was also packed and they served coladas. The colada was delicious, comparable to Versailles. The staff is awesome. You have to go to this gem! The colada maker has a special place in my heart.
