Food was fine, typical atmosphere but our waitress was pretty clueless especially for our check. First I had a $10 off coupon for my birthday, she charged for the kids meal which is free when you spend at least $16 and she charged us for some fries which we never received and it’s just a hassle when they don’t know how to work the register especially fixing mistakes and it takes awhile.

I was lucky enough to be able to participate in Submarine House Kettering’s soft opening a couple of times back in March.
Let me preface this by saying that Submarine House is one of those Dayton restaurants with a cult following that I do not understand. It’s overpriced and I’ve never had great food through dine in, carryout, or delivery, from various locations. I’ve given it multiple chances and I just don’t get the hype. But I was more than willing to give a new location a try, and try some new things.
Our first night was a Sunday night. It was busy! Every table was full, there were multiple managers and multiple employees manning every inch of the restaurant. It was loud. Didn’t bother me, except that I couldn’t hear the server at all. I eventually realized that it was the server and not the environment. She was extremely soft spoken and we had to ask her to repeat herself every time she came to the table and said something. It took us a while to get greeted initially. They were busy, but with the abundance of workers, it was painfully obvious when we were just sitting there, employees in every corner, but no one helping us. The server did not bring us silverware or appetizer plates. Even when the entrees came, we still didn’t have silverware. There was a long lull in between the apps and entrees. There was no sugar caddy on the table, (lemonade was ordered). We were not given a check at the end of the meal, so we pulled up the menu on our phones to see what our bill would have been and to tip accordingly. The food was great, but the service was noticeably lacking. It wasn’t terrible by any means, but issues were noticeable.
I’m so glad that we went back for a second night, because Monday was a completely different experience! They were noticeably less busy. We sat a high top in the bar area. A server greeted us before I had even put my purse down. She wasn’t even our server, but was letting us know that our server needed a minute and she was going to start us with drinks while we waited. Both she and our actual server were great! Very knowledgeable, friendly, easy to hear. We got silverware and app plates right away. At the end of the meal, we were given checks for our drinks and a check showing what our comped bill was. Food was great for the second night, and this time the service took a huge step up too!
Tuesday we sat at the bar. Another busy night! Every table was full again, but it didn’t look like they had as many employees working. Seems that the secret of being able to walk in without a reservation had gotten around to a few more people. More great service. Made friends with some fellow patrons. More great food!
One of my friends made a comment that the food tasted so much better on new, clean equipment. Being a Submarine House doubter myself, I also enjoyed the food more than any other experience I’ve had at a Sub House. The food was always piping hot and fresh. Our orders were accurate. The staff was friendly and attentive, (with the exception of our first experience). The entire place is clean, open and inviting.
They opened to the public on March 30th. I took some photos of the place for those who couldn’t make it to the soft opening. Most of the seating is in the bar area. Lots of TVs throughout. They have a small patio with a fire pit that looks really nice and a garage door that opens to the inside. I think that will be a really nice area in the warmer months. No outside TVs though, (yet?). There are outlets under the bar to charge your phone, but no purse hooks. ♀️ (I was told later that there were indeed purse hooks, but I couldn’t find them. ♀️)
Overall, we had a couple of really great experiences. It’s kind of bitter sweet, because now I know the standard that Sub House is capable of and what they can actually do when they’re giving it 110%. I really hope that they continue to give great service and that the quality of food continues at this level after the newness of the restaurant wears off. Definitely my best Submarine House experience out of any other locations!

Food is a little bit pricey but always good. Nice draft selection and reasonable drink prices. Outside patio is nice and has a fireplace. Oh, and the subs are very good 😉

Thank you Submarine House for a nice day to watch the DePauw/Wabash Monon Bell game

My husband ordered meals To Go after drinking beer and watching the Bengals game today.
I sent him a message saying exactly what we wanted, and my Mom’s order (chicken tenders with onion rings) was okay – the tenders were a little dry.
My order was a chicken gyro with feta and extra tzatziki sauce. At $14.99, you’d think French fries or chips would be included, but they weren’t. There was less than half a teaspoon of shredded lettuce, 3 wilted slices of tomato, and maybe 3-4 tiny pieces of onion – no feta, and no extra tzatziki sauce.
Plus the spices were bland, not only on the chicken, but also in the tzatziki sauce (a small plastic cup with lid – maybe a Tablespoon). I have tasted better at the Submarine Shop and I have tasted better at other places consistently. I doubt I will order out from there again.

This is theeeee most CLEANEST restaurant I’ve been in EVER! The air even smell clean. I must give a A+ rating for cleanliness and respect from the bartender! This woman was cleaning the whole time I was here! Please keep her on the team SUBMARINE HOUSE.

Signature cheese steak…the secret is the sub “sauce” (more like a vinegarette)… and I’ve never quite been able to put my finger on what it is that sets their Saratoga chips apart, but those aren’t to be slept on either! Mackenzie was the barkeep; friendly and quick with service!

Had a takeout order. Was treated like a inconvenience by server/ bartender when we arrived to pick up food. Arrived within 3 minutes of the pickup time. Fries where cold and tasted like they were old/ not fresh at all. No utensils or napkins in take out bag. The rest of the order was only sub par. My African American boyfriend had a intoxicated patron sitting at the bar say a disrespectful (racist) comment to him when he he came in to pick up the order. Was not thanked for my order by server. Very poor experience

Best thing was the service, but the food was well disappointing I got a ham & turkey sub for $10.00 and it had one slice of ham and one slice of turkey on it and half a head lettuce our double cheese steak was just as disappointing no onion, no mushroom just a little meat like how the regular used to be made. Very disappointing it sad when subway gives you a better food for a better price.
