Reviews for Giamela's Submarine Sandwiches in Burbank, CA
This place has been a staple in Burbank for decades. Old-style submarine sandwiches (big!) served by guys who all could have... been played by Joe Pesci. It's a grubby place that is charming in its own way because they don't try to be fancy AT ALL.Honestly, the linoleum tiles in front of the register have been worn away by years of customers, but why bother with a newfloor? It just is. And the worn floor shows just how popular this place is. My pepper steak sub was salty, but not bad, and Idecided go back again and try something else just because, well, it's an experience. I got a turkey sub today and it was big andbeautiful. And a big sub is a good sub. The guys behind the counter are friendly characters. They only offer a few kinds ofsandwiches that are customizable, but the ones I've had so far are good. It's worth a visit. Read more
Fun service and delicious sandwiches. We took them to a picnic in Griffith Park. Meatball sandwiches were delicious but a little... messy. Loved the chopped tomatoes, pickles and onions. Sandwiches come in 2 sizes and even the small is very large. Goodselection of chips. Read more
Pastrami sub really shines because of the crazy abundance of chopped pickles, tomato and onion n each sandwich. Service is good... and fast, and there is nothing to complain about this no-frills old school sub shop. Read more
I recently got a new job in the area and for lunch was craving a good ol? sub sandwich. This place is only a short walk from my... job that?s a huge +. I ordered the Cold cuts w/ mayo, mustard, tomatoes, onions, and, pickles. On a scale of 10 I?ll give thissandwich an 8 it was good and fresh but nothing amazing taste-wise. The bread is fresh and soft with sesame seeds and theveggies were good and crisp. They put black pepper on all subs and you can customize your sandwich. Customer service wassuperior???????. Very friendly and made me feel welcome. When I got there I told the gentlemen at the front that it was my firsttime being there. He was very helpful and told me about each sandwich and the best sellers which I believe is the pastrami,(don?t hold me on that) You have two size options 6? or 12? I can say the 12? is HUGE???? it took me 2-3 sessions to eat it alsoit doesn?t get soggy fast if kept n the fridge. You can tell it?s family-owned and run everything looks original from when theyopened I love places like this kinda whole-n-the-wall????... Next time I go back I will try the pastrami again n 6? and updatethis review. Read more
I could not take the photos of the sandwiches because I ate them... Sorry, but they were amazing! I had a pepper steak sandwich... that was quite satisfying. The beef was lean which made me think that these cows or these cattle were in excellent shape with nofat! Great value, too. Only $11 for a sandwich that could feed a whole family of 4 or 5 easily. Since I was a bit hungry, I alsohad pastrami, which was very thinly sliced. This was not as satisfying as the pepper steak for me. The meat had some fat. I alsoprefer thick cuts of pastrami because I am a bit spoiled by the Langer's. The turkey sandwich was pretty good, too, although theturkey was cold. Anyways, go here when you are hungry because you get a submarine sandwich that is big and heavy. The workerswere friendly especially when I started speaking my Spanglish, saying orale mi amigos, que onda? Read more

Haven?t been here in a couple of years, I stopped by today for lunch, the food is still the same yummy food I remember, service... is friendly No indoor dining yet but they have 2 tables on their patio you can eat. I love their pepper steak sandwiches. Theyhave been in business for a long time at the same location, that should tell you that the food is good. Read more
Cash only. Food is decent, good amount of meat/filling for the cost, but the hot stuff gets soggy fast. I usually order pastrami... or pepper steak Low rating is due to the fact that they randomly close early. Knowing this, I literally called them 30 minutesago asking if they would be open until 6 today. They assured me they would. I drive 15 min out of my way, I get there 5-10 minbefore 6 and they are closed, door is shut. The cashier sees me through the window but waves me off. Read more
