Didn’t eat inside however I believe best to go option. However my sandwiches are absolutely delicious, bread is nice and soft yet holds the meats together nicely and sesame seeds are a glorious texture. Great quality on meats and plenty of it. So yummy love it, love it

Awesome submarine sandwichs! My wife and I shared a large peper steak and we couldn’t even finish it. It was massive! We are visiting from out of town, but next time we come here we are definitely eat here again!

It’s a divey local joint with a laser focus on sub sandwiches. Limited menu, all of it good. The guys taking orders and making sandwiches are genuinely happy and enjoy their work. Very friendly and personable.
I had pastrami, she had a sausage sandwich. She declared the sandwich average (marinara average, sausage ok but average). My pastrami was good for what it was but personally disappointing. They heat it in simmering broth, that washes out the salt and flavor and makes it rubbery. Best handling of pastrami IMO is to heat it on the flat top. That renders and softens some of the fat, concentrates the flavor and makes it a little crispy. Then put the cheese on top of that to melt before it goes on the bread, that’s a good sandwich. Anyway…
The pepper steak is what a lot of people get, looking forward to trying it next time.

This place is a Burbank gem. One of those old school sandwich spots that’s cash only but some of the best subs you can get. My go to’s are the peppered steak or cold cut

I LOVE GIAMELA’S Subs! Everything from the tuna, the pepper steak, the pastrami.. they all are must try’s and the bread is always fresh! They do not skimp on anything, their sandwiches are truly a meal (not some sad 6 inch from subway). This place is an LA staple and a family favorite. When you walk in Giamela’s you instantly know you will never leave hungry.

Giamela’s Submarine Sandwiches has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years and they never disappoint. My go-to is the pepper steak with tomatoes, extra onions, pickles, and Italian dressing, packed with flavor every time. My wife and I both love their tuna fish sandwich, fresh and delicious. My second favorite has to be their Italian cold cuts, loaded with meats and perfectly seasoned. The quality and consistency keep us coming back and it’s always a satisfying meal.

GIAMELA’S SUBMARINE SANDWICHES
To-go order (phone)– Burbank branch
January 14, 2026 bet 11:30am-12nn
Amt paid: $29
Food: Extremely SALTY. I enjoy salty food, but this was far beyond my tolerance—the steak or meat was about 3× too salty, even with the sandwich.
Service: The staff member was courteous and confirmed the Burbank location when we ordered by phone. However, we were not informed that the restaurant is CASH ONLY! Had this been mentioned before pickup, it would have saved us time going back and forth.
Atmosphere: N/A (to-go order)

This shop is a great hole in the wall for sure. If you’re hungry with a couple of bucks and looking for a hearty meal, you don’t have to look so far in Burbank. I had the pepper steak and pastrami (a little too hungry), haha. The meat was juicy, and the toppings were a nice balance to the slightly salted meat. They also give you a nice handful of banana peppers! For the price and fast service, they serve up their sandwiches, I forsure we will be back again to tame my hunger.

Came here today with my buddy and had one of the best cheesesteaks of my life. The staff were kind, quick, and fun to chat with. Nick was welcoming and gave us some fun info about the history of the place. 5/5 would come again!

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 this sandwich an 8 it was good and fresh but nothing amazing taste-wise. The bread is fresh and soft with sesame seeds and the veggies were good and crisp. They put black pepper on all subs and you can customize your sandwich. Customer service was superior❤️ . Very friendly and made me feel welcome. When I got there I told the gentlemen at the front that it was my first time 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 also it doesn’t get soggy fast if kept n the fridge. You can tell it’s family-owned and run everything looks original from when they opened I love places like this kinda whole-n-the-wall … Next time I go back I will try the pastrami again n 6” and update this review.
