Oak Island Subs and Salads

I had the crab salad and it was delicious. It’s a very small place and it was packed around lunch, so I would go a little before or a little after noon.

You will never get a better sandwich anywhere, hands down! Don’t miss this place if you’re anywhere near Oak Island!

This place is really good! I have had the turkey sub, garden salad and also tried the muffuletta before. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is it can be a little inconsistent… The amount of condiments always seems to vary, sometimes theres a ton of lettuce or mayo and other times there’s hardly any…- but the quality and flavor — it’s always exceptional!

Probably rode by this place several times and never saw it. So glad I discovered it. Had probably the best Philly cheesesteak I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend!

Oak Island Subs is one of the best places to eat on OKI! You seriously can’t go wrong with any type of sandwich We go there every time we come to the island. I highly recommend the crab sandwich, but again you cannot go wrong with any choice!

Just plain good. Fresh ingredients, generous portion. In a world of subway and Quiznos, this place is a gem

Exactly what it should be. Good quality, very fast. Great for take out. Not sure I really want to hang out there, but the food was great. They had my to go order done faster than I could get there.
I got the Italian, and it was exactly what I had hoped for, and better than I expected. My wife’s cheese steak was huge, maybe a little too salty, but still food.
Be careful, the large really is large. Staff was really nice both on the phone and in person. Fastest «to go» experience I’ve had.

Excellent food! Fresh, tasty, and quality ingredients aren’t skimped on. The Italian sub was excellent and we plan on going back a few more times while we’re on OKI to try some of the other offerings. The muffaletta is up next!

Always a stop for our family every time we come, usually multiple times! Meat is fresh and PLENTIFUL (look at the photo of the corn beef and pastrami my husband always gets). Veggies are good and I love their shredded lettuce. The bread is soft and tasty. My favorite: chicken salad on white with lettuce, tomato, and bread and butter pickles. This was suggested to me by the owner several seasons ago and now I don’t order anything else!

Been here twice during weekend in the summer. Busy place but friendly. You can not compare this too Subway etc… This is simply more fresh and has more things to choose from, horseradish sauce is my favorite here. It tastes fresh and the amount on the sub is more than at other places. They have cold cuts and of course hot ones. Drinks and chips. Cost a bit more than other places but it is worth it. Did not try salads but people order them a lot. Saw greek feta cheese salad on the menu.

Not a bad thing to say! The employees are super nice and the food is delicious. Big hearty sandwiches and fresh baked bread make for the perfect sub. Lots of topping and condiment choices as well. Doesn’t look like much from outside but let that fool you!

Unbelievable Philly Sub made exactly how I ordered it with the nicest owner taking the orders right at the counter. Very cool little place on Oak Island and was packed with nonstop customers the whole time I was there, that’ll tell you something.

I’ve been to Oak Island four times now and today was the first time I’ve eaten here. What a waste of a decade. I had the shrimp salad on a friend’s recommendation and it was delicious… plenty of Old Bay and not gooped up with too much mayo. The potato salad engendered envy — I WANT THIS RECIPE. My son pronounced the meatball sandwich to be «a lot like pizza,» which for him is high praise, and my husband’s Cuban was very good too. Yum!

Best sandwiches around. Even when the line is out the door, they get you in and out quickly. It’s. Worth the wait.

Much better than I expected, even after reading the reviews. I had the muffaletta and spouse had the philly cheesesteak. Both were terrific with very fresh ingredients and great bread, which in my estimation really makes or breaks a sandwich. We’ll be back!

Best place to get a sub on the island. The owner usually runs the counter and it’s great. Good food, home baked bread and completely worth it! Been visiting for years.

This place has excellent customer service and great subs. My husband had the muffuletta and I had the Italian sub hot. The Italian was very good. I will be going back for another. My husband muffuletta was just ok but still good. I believe the owner took our order And he was kind enough to suggest we get Just one pb&j to split between our kids due to it being so big. Great sub shop! Highly recommend!

What a sandwich!!! Tons of meat and super-​fresh bread. Really great customer service. The place is clean. The prices are pretty fair. You can expect a much better sandwich than Subway and pretty much on par with a Jersey Mike’s. We will be hitting this place again before we leave.

A very unpretentious little shop in a small plaza sharing space with the Post Office and a Dairy Queen. But, the quality of the food is exceptional, and the quantity for the price is even more amazing. There is plenty of room inside, with rocking chairs to lounge in if you are waiting for take-​out. Most of their business seems to be take-​away, and at lunch and in high season you may need to call your order in to save time. All of the bread and specialty salads are prepared fresh daily. Chris had a tuna salad sub on whole wheat bread with lots of veggies and oil and vinegar. I sampled it, and it delicious. The tuna salad recipe is really good, and with the fresh bread and yummy toppings it was way beyond my expectations. You don’t often find this on menus around these parts, so I had a Cuban sandwich, and it reminded me of being in Ybor City when I had my first one many years ago. It is prepared with pressed Cuban bread, ham, pork, mustard, mayo, pickles, and Swiss cheese. The tasty Cuban bread really made it, but it was packed tight with a generous portion of meats, and with the condiments bringing even more flavor it was outstanding. This is without doubt my favorite sandwich shop in the Southport/​Oak Island area, and I can’t wait to go back and try the Rueben and Muffuletta and see how they compare to those I have had at New York delis and in New Orleans, respectively. le shop attached to a Dairy Queen

This place has awesome salads and great subs. The ingredients are very fresh and you can tell by the quality of the food. The service is very attentive.
